after the recent freeze up followed by yesterday's armageddon type weather, what a surprise this morning to go out and see 7 crocuses in full bloom on my front patch.
later than normal, but with all the bad weather i thought it would be a week or two yet.
I can hear Howard Keel now....... "Oh what a beautiful morning........."
And most definitely, on this site, the Corn is as high as an elephants eye - and I mean it kindly and sincerely, folks.

Howard, only got home half an hour ago then coming on here and seeing your post caused me to grab the camera and go outside and grab these crocus`s next to the house. They weren`t there the weekend.

I understood it ran under licence from the Churchill, but it could open whenever the operator wanted to.
