I was woken this morning by Mr and Mrs Mallard requiring breakfast. Then OH rang me from Norwich to make sure I was up, then the alarm clock went off. When I had fed the birds (and squirrels), I was on my way to work, when I spotted some Queen Annes Lace in full flower at the side of Asda in Spondon. There are lots of clumps coming up all over, but this was 3ft high. It must be 6 weeks early.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hawthorns in hedge - buds opening on Friday, just gone. That's my marker for spring.

I spotted some hawthorn today too Jim - it lifts the heart as spring is now on its way.
