March
"If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb."
"Snow in March means frost in April."
Grandmothers’ Day
On the first weekend in March, before Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day, we think about our grandmothers. But what about grandfathers? Why don’t they have a special day?
March 8th: International Women’s Day
This day in honour of women was founded in Copenhagen in 1910 by women who did not have the right to vote.
Today, there are still big disparities and differences between men and women, for example the pay for doing the same job with the same qualifications.
Mardi gras
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday (the first day in Lent which lasts for 40 days until Easter).
In some French towns such as Nice and Dunkirk Shrove Tuesday is carnival time. There is a procession with floats and people have fun with their friends, dressing up and eating waffles and doughnuts.
