The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins and flowers and trees start to blossom. It is said to be a time of love and romance.
The history of the May Day celebrations go back to at least the Roman empire and may even further to the Celts.

Thank you for the information about British currency on your website. My husband and I watch a lot of videos from the BBC, and have wondered about US equivalents for your money. Your website was very helpful.
