That prompted me to look at my snowdrops which were relocated earlier
this year, and are still sitting in a 'temporary' plastic trough. Up
half an inch, here in Aberdeenshire.

To my surprise so are the daffodils (although they got a nasty shock
with the snow lying and hard frost this last weekend).

Cannot see snowdrops or daffs today, because six inches of snow fell
last night :-)

So are the ones I planted late as bulbs, yes I know they are best plated in
the green, but they were half price so I took a chance.

Rhubarb is up, too - as I discovered when the six inches of snow which
arrived Sunday/Monday melted :-)

Yep. Same here in North Yorkshire.
Looks like unforced rhubarb will be on the Xmas menu this year.

Sap is rising again in the apple & pear trees too!

This could ruin next years apple crop since ISTR they need a certain
minimum number of cold winter days to set fruit properly.

I noticed yesterday that Willow trees nearby are already showing
a green cast as their leaves begin to appear.

Received a photo from my brother in Saffron Walden this morning. His
daffs are in full flower and looking lovely.

Hmm. Just checked snowdrops and rhubarb, and both are happily poking
through the snow :-)

Frost? Where do you live? It's 12C at NIGHT here in central Scotland.

Dear Diary,
I've had this odd feeling for a little while. It's a surrealistically subconscious feeling that I was abducted by aliens and thoroughly probed.
Then a friend of mine told me they got me really drunk and dropped me off at a gay bar.
The *******s.
