As an ex-pat this is the time of year I get homesick most. Where I live now in Canada has a maritime climate and is about 600 km south of where I grew up in England. As an outpost of Empire, it also has many, many plants from Britain which burst into life about a month before they do in the UK. For those Brits (and others ... why not?) who enjoy this annual miracle, there's a great site you might like to look at called UK Phenology (nothing to do with bumps on the head ;o) here: http://www.phenology.org.uk/
