Not us but friends not far from here. Anyone else?

Don't know about snowdrops, but camellias in west Cornwall are already
in flower. An article in last week's Cornishman newspaper featured
camellias flowering in one of the 'stately home' gardens west of
Penzance (Trewidden), and we've had Contessa Lavinia Maggi in flower
for two weeks. They'll catch it if it turns cold :-(

We have lots of flowers too - but do they know something I don't? I
thought it's been about as cold and dark and damp as it always is in
November :-(
