May is widely considered the awakening of the British calendar. It is the month when spring finally sheds its indecisive chill and fully commits to the lush, vibrant energy of early summer. As the days stretch significantly longer, the landscape undergoes a dramatic transformation, trading the muddy browns of winter for an almost dazzling display of greens on our landscape. The blossoming of many of our plants and the wonderful chorus of wilderness.
