March is named after the Roman god of war Martius and was originally the start of the New Year. This was due to the improved weather which made it a suitable time to start war campaigns, before it was replaced by January in the Gregorian calendar in 1752. Here in Normandy we are still putting logs on our wood burner and wrapping up warm venturing deeper into the Normandy countryside.
Flowering daffodils (also known as Lent Lillies) bring a welcome splash of sunny yellow to gardens devoid of colour in the winter months. Traditionally the daffodil is named after a young boy in Greek mythology known as Narcissus who changed into a flower. Given the choice which type of flower would you choose? Something hardy that succeeds against all the odds, or, a decorate bloom that basks in the summer sun?
The Normandy landscape has been covered in blankets of snow and even now has isolated scatterings dotted around the countryside and ditches full of water. This will start to change becoming greener as bulbs and plants that have lay dormant protected against the winter cold, miraculously spring into life, their early shoots defying the cold and gloom, the first herald of spring offering a warm glow of hope for a dry sunny summer.
The 31st of March is the anniversary of the official opening of the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1889 as the entrance to the World Fair. It has now become a global symbol of Paris and the most visited paid monument in the world.
This month in our magazine we have new features and new writers including Behind the Kitchen Door, a light look at new recipes and the stories behind them and Lost in Translation a humorous view of living in France along with a compelling and heart touching Daughters of D Day a weekly series of accounts from the relatives of soldiers who fought and died in Normandy recalling their experiences.
Lastly we would like to thank you all for your comments and support, we offer our best wishes and look forward to your continued feedback.
