Two Months Premature

[poliphilo]

We've been getting reports from around Kent that the daffodils are out and yesterday I saw some for myself- along the road in Biddenden and down on Romney Marsh. Daffodils in January is very wrong. Ask Shakespeare; he'll tell you-

"........ daffodils
That come before the swallow dares and take
The winds of March with beauty..."
