I'm still on medical duties with Julie but getting there so it was nice today to be diverted by some spring flowers on my way into work. January may be heading for one of the wettest months since records began but a consequence of this wet and windy weather is that its been mild. Whilst North America and Canada struggle to get temperatures above minus 20oC, in the UK we struggle to get temperatures below +5oC. As such spring is coming early this year, not least this not very good image of winter aconite and snowdrops. Next I'll be looking for the celendines, one of my favourite of spring flowers as they carpet woodland banks and hedge bottoms with their bright yellow flowers, a sure sign the lanes will be drying out and soon we'll see dust blowing across arable fields again.
