I think May is probably my favourite month of the year. It is, in part, the knowledge that there's now enough distance from winter, that the evenings will be light until late, the chances of a frost are pretty much gone, and all around us is bird song, as goldfinches and willow warblers flit between the trees.
We have had some wonderful, warm weather in recent weeks, and it has brought out the campion and the cow parsley to join the bluebells that have been particularly spectacular. In the past few days, we have returned to showery weather, but the countryside needs it, and so does our private water supply, so I'll not complain too much.
Hannah and I have been working so hard. We have had a lot of pots to make for Spring Fling open studios and the Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey, Devon. We have made mugs, jugs, bowls, plates, chargers, moneyboxes, flower bricks, and vases.
