I enjoy the lighter mornings and evenings for sure

BashfulClam · 04/05/2024 20:24

2 bank holidays, it’s bright daylight outside here in Scotland until after 9pm and it’s my birthday month.

TuckingFerrible · 04/05/2024 20:27

My favourite month. Everything fresh and new, lighter mornings/evenings, baby birds and spring lambs and too early in the year for fucking mozzies and wasps Grin

NatMoz · 04/05/2024 20:28

Bank holiday sandwich with Eurovision as the filling!! What's not to love!!!!!

Spidey66 · 04/05/2024 20:30

I love spring/early summer so yes I love May. I love the longer evenings the best.

It's my birthday month too, still love the month even if I don't love how old I'm becoming.

I normally love April and May but the weather has been so utterly shit this year (Glasgow, Scotland) that I’ve been verging on completely depressed with it.

it feels like it’s been raining since last October.

bluetopazlove · 04/05/2024 20:37

Ah the month we got married, still the best month , ever .

May is a beautiful month. The birdsong is beautiful and the trees are looking amazing. It's like nature has properly woken up for the year.

It’s a bit greedy for your Dh and dad to have double birthdays though! 😉

Beautiful. And whatever happens nature always dresses up.

I agree. The promise of summer, the optimism of warmer, lighter nights, thoughts of holidays, day trips, barbecues and more. Eurovision! Twice in my life I have met someone and fallen in love in May. It has always been my favourite month.

Except my dad died early last May. So I am gritting my teeth for the next few days until the anniversary has passed and then I can try to get back to the May I love.

Pixiesgirl · 04/05/2024 21:15

The birds are super loud though (from 4am), my fault I guess for having a big bush/tree out my back.

2024mustbebetter · 04/05/2024 21:18

I agree, it’s lovely, Summer is coming and it’s my birthday tomorrow :)

I prefer December. Sparkly, twinkly lights, Christmas trees, feel goodness, Christmas cake, pyjamas at 4pm.

Soozikinzii · 04/05/2024 21:28

My favourite as well everything new and fresh, buds on the trees . My DM , DGM , favourite Auntie , DH and DGD all born in marvellous May !

qwertyqwertyqwertyqwerty · 04/05/2024 21:33

Oh yes I love May too. The hawthorn smells amazing, the blossom on the apple trees and the longest day is still a way off.

Plus I like elections Grin
