No daffs (we haven't any early vars, but seen them elsewhere in west
Cornwall) and no camellias, which surprises me a bit.

No Camellias? Our C. sasnaqua Narumigata is out now and flowering well but
it is an early one, of course.

No temperatures below freezing so far this winter, and only a couple
of very light grass-frosts.

I have one of the lurgies so didn't go out yesterday but Ray tells me that
frost stayed in shady pockets in the garden all day. The wind was in the
east and it was very cold.
