Default May already?

Allegedly a stricture to keep wrapped up warm until the May or Hawthorn
comes into bloom.

Well in the last two days the hedges have started flowering in the more
sheltered areas.


Are you sure that it's not blackthorn?


Mirabelle trees and bushes are also coming into flower.

So does this mean it is really spring and we should hurl away our winter
woollies?

Cheers
