This is one of my favourite BeeGees’s songs. I think it is a very appropriate anthem for the month of May. It is so nostalgic with a tinge of sadness. It makes me think of a childhood full of innocence and promise.
By the by did I tell you that I prefer the BeeGees to the Beatles? Oh well, I am afraid I do. I may be a minority, I don’t know, but there it is.
Month: May
This fifth month of the year is dedicated to the Roman goddess of spring and fertility, Maia, who was the mother of Mercury.
May is a beautiful month. Spring is not only in the air, spring is everywhere. There is a feel of rebirth; Renaissance.
May is also the birth month of the two most important women in my life: my dear mama and of course my sister who happens to be my very best friend.
Being a permanent resident and also a working woman here in the uk, May is a favourite month of the year. It has two Bank Holidays, the first and the last Mondays of May.
The 6th of May (2013) bank holiday is promised to be a hot day, just ideal for a picnic in the park.
