HeadingNorth Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well .... no it hasn't, it's the ninth of bleeding January for crying out loud. But the magpies apparently think it has - I've just seen one yanking a twig out of our hedge and making off with it to start his nest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah1 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's crazy isn't it? We've had a really mild winter so far with hardly any frosty mornings and just a sprinkling of snow here and there.. I'm not complaining though.. I hate winter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mym8scallmeh Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My Camellia is in flower and have also seen a tree in blossom, natures all messed up this year, but its nice to see some color especially when its a gray day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Squirrel Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I remember remarking on Xmas day that around noon, it was +12oC and that at the same time last year (Xmas day 2010) it was around -12oC. Ok, Last years winter was exceptionally cold but its still quite a jump isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 bloody magpies coming over here too early and nicking our twigs. I don't think they've migrated for twenty years or more... I'm sure that in my youth they used to disappear off to southern Spain for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
