Here in Cornwall we had primroses out on Christmas day. I have snowdrops, crocus and daffodils out a plenty, the roadsides are dotted with primroses and yesterday I found my first dandelion. My frogspawn in my pond is late this year, it is usually there by now. As for birds, the long tailed tits are back and the birds are busy nest building. Now is the time to put out the cat hair and the fluff from the tumble drier! We have had no snow at all but a couple of light frosts in the last few days.
