Interesting; I didn't realise until now that not only are your seasons the reverse of ours but the official start date of each season is a month out as well. Here summer started in December and runs to the end of this month; autumn, the reflection of your spring, doesn't arrive until 1 March.

Many thanks for sharing this and your blog. It is intersting, as you say, just how many of these stories are married to earlier pagan ones.
