Re: The crocus page

I don't know why yours aren't showing yet, Marge.  I walked up the road a 
bit and had a look at the garden they were in yesterday, and there are 
definitely a few of them up-small flowered and yellow. The garden is in a 
particularly sheltered spot.  Unfortunately, the elderly woman who lives in 
the house is rather shy and has resisted all attempts to talk to her in the 
past.
It is a lot warmer here than I am used to.  The grass needs to be cut-it's 
been green and growing slowly all winter.  The primulas have never stopped 
blooming since mid December.  About a month ago I saw daffodils up about six 
inches, and the rhododendrons at Warwick Castle looked ready to pop.
