tomorrow is mayday the first of may

whilst in australia we tend not to celebrate the day it is widely celebrated in europe

according to the wikipedia (sorry i dont know how to do the link) mayday represents different celebrations in  ancient times it was more associated with  religion. in modern times it has become work related "labour day"  even celebrating the end of the cold weather im the northern hemisphere .

mayday being a cross-quarter day, meaning that it falls approximately halfway between a solstice and a equinox  (that i quote from wikipedia source)

if anyone out there can explain that better to me i would appreciate it.

i have always been fascinated what mayday really means when i was a young girl because my birthday is on 2nd of may. i always thought how "great " it would have been on "mayday" i think it just had a nice ring to it

so i throw it open out there to you especially all you minti members from england  to tell me "how you celebrate the day"

and what it all means to you

cheers annie
