Ah, but now its June: "June just rains and never stops Thirty days and spoils the crops."
Sorry about the off topic, but I am a huge Flanders and Swann fan!

I'll be able to SEE when I cut out my fabric, and when I'm digging in the back of the closet for stored costumes. COMMENT It's a 3-day weekend here in the Anglo-Norman Isles, too. Mixed weather as is usual for an English May Holdiay weekend - "Farmers fear unkindly May, Frost by night and hail by day - - -"- Saturday was sunny, yesterday sunny with showers including some hail, overnight storm is still blowing hard and showering this morning; - and I now wish I'd laid-out our sleeping tent yesterday and brushed-off the canvas before re-folding everything into tighter bundles for next weekend's travelling to the mainland UK. Over here, May is a month with 2 "Bank-Holiday Mondays", and May 9th is our Isles' "1945 Liberation Day Anniversary Celebration" - so work-wise and wages-wise - it's a "short month". My House is sorting equipment and pre-packing - to travel to the UK Mainland to take part in West Dragonshire's "Winchester Pilgrimage" [weekend June 1st to 3rd] see some pictures at http://www.westdragonshire.org/pilgrimage - based upon the medieval "Almshouses & Hospital of St Cross", [Winchester, Hampshire, UK,] - which latter is a group of almost unaltered medieval buildings continuously-occupied by the Brothers Of St. Cross since it's Foundation. The location has almost no anachronisms in view once through the gateway; and the Brothers all wear monkish robes, too, as "daily-garb", - which helps the "effort of belief". Next Saturday morning's 3 hrs pilgrimage walk will be along the path through the watermeadows beside the River Itchen, finishing-up at Winchester Cathedral; and then walking back to St Cross. Satruday night's Feast will be held in the Hospital's medieval "Hundred Mens' Hall". IMHO, this will be one of the two events in Drachenwald this year [the other wil be "Ffair Raglan III" ] at which Society members will be able most easily - and with minimum effort of imagination - to experience those rare & precious moments when one may look round and think one's self back in the medieval Period. So for my Lady and I this weekend will continue to be a weekend of happy anticipation, and pre-packing equipment.
