Chrisb Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Likewise!!................this post reminded me of an amusing thing that happened last May 1st. I opened the door to a chap who said that he knew that we had some Muguet in our garden, and could he possibly have some for his children - thinking that he meant for his children to give to their Mum, I said yes - he then proceeded to pick about 40 stems...........It turns out that his kids were going to sell them in the local town for 1.50€ per 3 stems!!!

Cassis Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Anyone who wants is welcome to come and dig up some of ours - it is trying to make a takeover bid for our driveway!At 2 euros for a small pot in the garden centres I can't help but think we're missing out on making a killing here ...Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyG Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 My late husband was French and on the 1st of May every year he used to give me a bunch of lily of the valley as apparently it is a tradition that all "young" men give these to their girlfriends/wives as a mark of love.

Cassis Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think I've just got time to nip out and pluck a bunch before it gets too dark![kiss][kiss][kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I got a bunch off my mother-in-law! I was hanging out my washing this evening and started chatting with my neighbour. She invited us for aperitifs and when we were leaving she gave my daughter a lovely bouquet of roses from her garden! Don't forget apart from the muguet the 1st May in France is la 'Fete du Travail'. I know YOU knew that Mr. Smith[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
