We are now getting 40 mins of daylight a week more than we were getting in mid December; come mid February and it will be nearly two hours more. If temps stay mild(ish) we could be in for a glorious Spring.
I was a bit worried about the crocus bulbs but thinking about it, I always remember getting home from the hospital with newborn Tom and noticing them coming through and that was mid-Feb so maybe they'll be a couple of weeks yet.
