May 2026年5月
May 2026年5月 | Newsletter 簡訊
May is called Bealtaine (bell-tin-er) in Irish, and it traditionally marks the beginning of summer and the time to drive cattle to higher grounds for summer grazing. No wonder we have such beautiful weather recently, which almost makes us forget the gloomy winter days! Let's go out more when the weather is nice, and enjoy the amazing nature scenery of Ireland. Remember we have an CII Anniversary Celebration at the end of May (see below): we look forward to welcoming as many as possible to make new friends and have fun!
喺愛爾蘭文入邊，五月叫做Bealtaine (bell-tin-er)，傳統上標誌住夏天嘅開始，同埋將牛羊趕去山上嘅牧場食草直到秋季。無怪乎近排經常陽光普照，微風和暖，我哋差啲唔忘記晒冬日嘅灰暗。趁天光靚，大家多啲出門行吓，享受愛爾蘭美麗嘅大自然啦！記得我哋粵語愛爾蘭五月底有週年慶，希望有多多人來一齊線下互動，認識新朋友！
