In these "Frankin's Days' beware late and destructive frosts, thunder, and unreliable weather.

According to a Devon legend, the sharp frosts which sometimes occur about this time are the revenge of one Frankin, a Beer brwer, put out of business by competition from Cider. He therefore vowed his soul to the Devil in return for frosts on each of three 'Frankin's Days' around May 21st, hoping that these would kill the apple blossom and ruin the Cider crop.

May weather is consider too unreliable for shorn sheep, which may take cold and die; and thunder this month presages a poor Summer and a bad harvest.

Shear your sheep in May
you'll shear them all away.

Thunder in May
frightens Summer away!

Perfectly reasonable, totally proportionate, and very necessary measures.

After your disappointment at the new Doctor Who, I'd think you'd like it now....lots going on and lots of twists and turns.....reminiscent of "Bad Wolf" and all that jazz....
