Jago, Daisy-Maud and the May Blossom in September

            DAISY-MAUD:  "Oh Jago!"  *Scratches head with paw.*

JAGO:  "Whatever is wrong, Daisy-Maud?"

DAISY-MAUD:  "Oh Jago, I just cannot quite get used to it."

JAGO:  "Used to what, Daisy-Maud?"

DAISY-MAUD:  "Well, it's September, and yet the weather here is like it is in May back at home in England.  See - this maythorn tree is is in bloom in September!  It should be autumn now!"

JAGO:  "Well, we are in the Southern Hemisphere, dear Daisy-Maud, and here everything is the reverse way around.  Spring is in September, Autumn is in May."

DAISY-MAUD:  "I don't know if I will ever get used to it."  *Sighs deeply.*

JAGO:  "Don't worry, my dear little sister."  *Puts arm around Daisy-Maud comfortingly.*  "You will get used to it in time.  Don't forget, you only arrived in Australia last Christmas, after all."

DAISY-MAUD:  "I know!"  *Sighs again.*  "I still miss Mummy June and all the Blakeney Bears so much, but,"  *Smiles up at Jago.*  "I missed you so much, Jago. I couldn't bear being separated from you any longer.  I am so glad that Mummy June let me come and stay with you, Paddy, Daddy and all our bear family." 

JAGO:  "I'm glad that she did too, Daisy-Maud.  I missed you so much."

DAISY-MAUD:  "I love you, my big brother Jago."  *Snuggles against Jago.*

JAGO:  "I love you too, my little sister Daisy-Maud."  *Kisses Daisy-Maud on the forehead.*  "Now, thinking of Daddy and Paddy, do you know what tomorrow is?"

DAISY-MAUD:  "Why yes, it's Saturday, Jago.  Everyone knows that Saturday comes after Friday."

JAGO:  "Well, that is true, Daisy-Maud, but it is also Daddy's birthday and Paddy's birthday!"

DAISY-MAUD:  *Gasps.*  "Does that mean?"

JAGO:  "Yes, Daisy-Maud, a birthday party!"

DAISY-MAUD:  "With cake, Jago?"

JAGO:  "Of course with cake!  How could a birthday party be a birthday party without birthday cake, Daisy-Maud?"

DAISY-MAUD:  "How wonderful!"  *Claps paws with delight.*

JAGO:  "And best of all, it is going to be a lovely, sunny day for Daddy and Paddy's birthday, so we can play hide-and-seek in the garden after the birthday party."

DAISY-MAUD:  "Oh that's wonderful, Jago!  We are such lucky bears, aren't we?"  *Smiles.*

JAGO:  "Yes we are, my little sister.  Yes we are!"  *Smiles too.*

Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England.  He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes.  He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him.  He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.

Daisy-Maud is Jago's little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him.  She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes.  A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.   

Colloquially known as May or the May tree, hawthorn blossom typically appears at the start of May in England (and September in Australia). However, climate change is bringing flowering forward, meaning the old English name for hawthorn may no longer be as relevant as it once was.  It is similar to the wild cherry flower (they are from the same family). Sometimes the tips of the petals are pinkish, although not in this case.
