After a cold spell for most of December, it turned mild on the 22nd and has remained so all through January. The result in the garden has been that the plants think it is spring already. The snowdrops were late but now crocuses are all out and the daffodils wont be long. There is the first flower on the forsythia and the hawthorn has a few leaves bursting out.
More worrying are the roses where I noticed yesterday that the first new leaves have opened. I don't usually prune until February or March, but this is before the first leaves appear. So I have to hold my breath and prune then today.
