There are a few primroses out in the hedgerow but not many and none in our garden yet, which is most odd as we usually have a lovely display (they spread like mad!) I wonder if the garden ones have been nibbled by something Crocuses also nowhere in sight. Yet on FB someone posted a photo taken today of a little clump of daffodils in flower further up the hill - ours are weeks away from flowering. All very odd.
