It depends where you are. In Cambridge, it is still winter. It
is not a good idea to move such things when the soil is actually
freezing at night.

Ahhh yes very true, that doesn't happen here .... touch wood, but we had
a touch of frost today

A TOUCH???

We haven't got above freezing point all day. During the night our central
heating came on - that's unknown, it's set at 10C

Very bright sunlight though, the water is heating nicely from the solar
panel.

Whereabouts are you?



We had a drinks party here last night and friends who came over the moor
from Tavistock way said it was icy and they'd had to scrape frost off the
car. Here it was 1C but today has been comparatively balmy because the wind
has dropped and shifted south a bit, having been in the east for several
days. When we walked the dogs round our field this afternoon the air really
did smell of spring, not just hopeful cold weather. Daffodils are well out
and even going over in a few places in the lanes. And we've discovered some
crocus where we've never seen them before in our banks and field edge - I
can only imagine they've spent years bulking themselves up to flowering
stage but have no idea how long it takes. Can anyone tell me?
