my spring bulbs started coming through soon after i planted them in november - 30 December 2011 18:17144728I saw daffodils in bloom in Rye on Christmas morning. Totally threw me. Never seen them in December before
- 30 December 2011 18:18144729Im just seeing on the BBC ceefax thing that its the second warmest year ever..2011. Only 2006 was warmer.
"Provisional figures show that only 2006, with an average temperature of 9.73C (49.5F), was warmer than 2011's average temperature of 9.62C (49.3F). "
So sayeth the BBC.
We also had the hottest spring ever this year, so the seasons are going bananas...to use a technical term there. Of course this is all to do with global warming isnt it? Could get even hotter in the years to come with all sorts of exotic creatures arriving in our waters..sharks even!!

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
