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..."

We finally got some sustained frost - daytime as well - during these past few days. Perhaps that will keep my daffodils from flowering until mid-January...

But it really is an odd winter this year.

I'm told we have colder weather coming- but maybe only for Scotland and the north of England.
