The warm sunshine this morning has encouraged my first daffodil to
open.
A bit earlier than normal, but still no February daffs. I'm still
waiting for my first Day 100 :-)

A different world down here in lowland Surrey, where the first daffodils
were out in mid-January, which is ridiculous and I think unprecedented.
I now have what I think I recall my late father saying was a camellia in
bloom in my garden (I'm no gardener myself), which is also ridiculously
early.
