The ornamental plum in the sheltered part of the back garden is coming in to blossom.  That’s at least a month earlier than usual.  A couple of daffodils now in bloom along with snowdrops.

Just spotted the first bluebells in full bloom.

Our "lawn" is getting tall enough to hide the violets.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Two reports in Essex today of swallows. One in Frinton, the other Langham, both N. Essex. I've not seen one.

Last week was balmy with a real temperature rise that brought the bumble-bees out in force, so this week we're down to 2°C overnight with dead bees here & there.
