Last year, the first Dff came out on Dec 27th. I have a few almost
ready.

A wonderful day today in South Devon. Two on the trot and it's about
time! 8C, no wind and sunshine. In the garden this mornin; lots of
people out and about and doing the same. Missus and youngest, back
from their run, commented on the fact that so many people said "hello"
to them and that everyone was smiling. This is what a mild interlude
does for you in winter. It puts a smile of relief on everyone's face.
Long may it continue! Won't last, of course - it is, after all,
January - but spring is not that far away now!!

after a lull before Christmas at just the wrong time.

Narcissi rather than true daffs. However, as a daffodil is in fact a
narcissi, which varieties officially constitute daffodils I'm really
not sure. Everyone seems to have there own idea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(plant)
doesn't really help!

What I would regard as true daffs in bud on some south facing
locations around Penzance now, helped by an average maximum
temperature of 9.1C over the 1st 8 days of January. 5 or 6 years ago
the fields were all yellow in time for the new year.
