Congrats on the new book!
Thank you! Woohoo!
Happy 1st of May and congratulations on being Welsh Book of the Month, I love that it coincides with the French tradition of giving Le Muguet – (Lily of the Valley) a symbol of ‘porte-bonheur’ or good luck.
On this day (it is a public holiday ‘Fete du Travail’) anyone in France can set up a stall anywhere and sell the little flowers which people give to friends, family, neighbours, acquaintances – so I gift you a virtual ‘Le Muguet’ in commemoration of this excellent month and this wonderful year of ‘Eden’s Garden’ and I wonder if you have any Lily of the Valley in your own garden?
Thank you, Claire!
I love Lily of the Valley and merci for your wonderful gift of Le Muguet. I’ve relatives in France, but they never told me about that one! What a wonderful tradition. Sadly, I can’t seem to grow Lily of the Valley this high up. I remember it sprawling over borders in my childhood and the scent still haunts me. Maybe I’ll try again, but in my polytunnel this time! All I can offer in return is wild garlic and a blue haze of forget-me-nots.
I should also send you the gift of fire as it’s the Celtic festival of Beltane, when the cattle were passed between two fires to celebrate the coming of spring. Along with plenty of naughty goings-on in the shadows that I couldn’t possibly mention here.
Mwynhewch – Enjoy!
Delightful! Thank you. Have a post coming later on Le Mugeut, just been out taking pics
Wonderful! I’ll definitely check it out!
