Everyday by email, I receive "Today in the Book of Days" from Wilson's Almanac, the brain-child of Pip Wilson of Australia.
Today's serving from the almanac includes trivia about the month name, "March": .......the old Dutch name for March was Lent-maand........the Saxon name was Hreth-monath, which means "rough month" or Hlyd-monath, which means "boisterous month".......in the French it was ventose, meaning "windy month".
Everyday, there is something interesting to learn from Wilson's Almanac!
