May 1st is La Fête du Muguet in France and our dear friend Kath, to whom this blog is dedicated, always gave me a bunch of Lily-of-the-Valley or, if they were away in their house in Meysaac, a card would arrive on the day. The flowers symbolise happiness and good luck and I grow them in the garden in memory of my lovely friend.

Here is the Meaningful May calendar of happiness.

It’s a lovely time of year for bird song. Here is what we heard in a 10 minute recording.

Happy Beltane to you all.
