You may have been dreaming, but there is still the odd butterfly around
down here, as well as bees. South facing slopes have lots of daisys in
flower after the recent mild weather.
Daffodil picking on Scilly now in full swing, in fact they have been
opening too quickly, and some are being put in cold store to slow them
down.

Min 0.8C last night (coldest night so far) currently (13:30) 9.1C.
Unbroken sunshine all morning, but a little patchy cloud now drifting
towards us from the N now that the wind's backed. If the wind remains
northerly it will significantly milder here tonight.
