I’ve seen Snowdrops towards the end of January a few times over the years, but I took this picture on the 12th January 2007 no less and, try as I might, I can’t find a single text book that refers to Snowdrops flowering even before February (a few crocuses are out as well)! Add that to the wasp I saw the other day and the half dozen Bees or so I’ve spotted this winter (loads of fishermen have been seeing them too) and I’d say you might as well dust off your best pair of Bermudas and dig out the suntan cream….but hold on a minute, unfortunately, I’ve been getting a fair bit of gyp from the “old trouble” today, so I reckon we must be in for a cold snap….besides, that’s what I heard them say on the weather forecast this morning!
