Next door's Mimosa tree is full of flower. Is this early or has the sunny
winter and spring pushed it forward?

What type of Mimosa is it and where? Ours has flowered and gone over in S.
Devon. (A. dealbata)

I don't know what sort it is. I have tried the books and the internet. It is
about 20 possibly 25 feet high with what looks at the moment like white
bunches of grapes. We are in Plymouth

That sounds like Robinia pseudoacacia, though I'd have said it was
rather early to be flowering. Does it have thorns on the smaller
branches?

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

No definitely no thorns at all because I cut a lot of it down for them last
year and it was as smooth as a baby's backside
