Well March is certainly coming in like a lion here in Maghull. Another one is April showers bring the flowers. Beryl x

My nan had one about taking your vest off and blossom I think

Lady Lucan we had a red sky last pm a much better day at the seaside t/day. Beryl it,s coming in like a lion here as well.. June xx

Do you believe in old folk lore like if March comes in like a lion it will go out like a lamb? Do you know any of these sayings..? June x

Dawn not heard that one. My uncle used to say never cast a clout till May is out.. June x

June it was sonething about May am sure cant think of it though.

Thanks for that Awdrey.. June x

I grew up with 'Cast ne'er a clout till May be out' meaning the May blossom on Hawthorn bushes. and 'Rain before 7 fine before 11'

Thanks for all these Gayner Wow.. June xx

Oh yes and.... Whether the weather be fine Or whether the weather be not Whether the weather be cold Or whether the weather be hot We'll weather the weather Whatever the weather Whether we like it or not. Boom Boom !!!

Isn't it amazing just how accurate these old sayings are ? Gaynor :-)

Not a prediction, but if it was a very cloudy day with a bit of blue showing we would say there was enough blue in the sky to make a cat a pair of pyjamas. I wonder if there is a connection there with the expression 'Just the cats pyjamas.'

one I heard today, and had not heard before , was 'february fill dyke', one of the gardeners used it, guess it is an old country saying ;-))

Here in New Zealand if the Riroriro (Grey Warbler) sings, then it will rain the next day. Early blooming of the Pohutukawa means a long hot summer.

St. Swithin's Day if it do rain, for 40 days it will remain. St. Swithin's Day if it be fair, for 40 days will rain no more Rain before seven, fine by eleven If cows are standing in a field it will be fine, but if they are lying down it is going to rain. Clear moon, frost soon By counting the seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder, you can tell how far away a storm is When squirrels lay in a big store of nuts, look for a hard winter One Swallow does not make a summer Ring around the moon - Rain before noon ..... or something like that Gaynor :-/

Lady Lucan thanks again.. June x

Huia i love the sound of the Cats pyjamas lovely.. June x

Ha ha! Dodger I had forgotten that one.... We always used to say It's black over Bill's Mothers Interesting to see the little twists to each saying too isn't it? Gaynor :-)
