Cast ne'er a clout 'til the May be out

My understanding of this is that May is maythorn aka blackthorn, and that when it comes into bloom it's warm enough to shed your winter clothes (certainly your winter coat). It holds well with me as I've reached that uncomfortable too-hot-for-my-winter-coat-but-too-old-to-go-without stage...


Spring is here! Hoorah!
(and about blimmin' time, too!)
