Daffodils in December!!!!!!

I took this photograph this morning in a garden near our house.We never have daffodils out in December.We are lucky if they are out by St David's Day on March 1st.I live in North Wales and so far this winter we have only had one frost.Unheard of.What is happening to our weather.Not far from here there is massive flooding.The cities of Leeds,York and Manchester flooded.More bad weather is expected overnight with lots more rain.In the U.S.A reports of at least 40 people having died because of extreme weather.


On a different note ,it is our 49th wedding anniversary today(I married young!)I really can't believe it.When my late in laws reached their Golden Wedding I thought they were ancient.Only one year away for us.C is my best friend.We have loads of different interests and friends but love doing things together.We started off today with a visit to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight.It has an impressive collection of Pre Raphaelite paintings but also paintings by Gainsborough ,Wilson,Turner,Laura Knight etc.Well worth a visit.We then went on to have a walk at Parkgate and lunch out at the Boathouse.I came home and had sleep as I am full of a cold.A nice bottle of wine tonight will round off the day.

    Congratulations on your special day! We're popping into the Lady Lever tomorrow to see Putting on the Glitz. One of these days we'll bump into each other!

    All my daffs are already out. I'm wondering what will happen in the spring. Will there be any flowers left?

    Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world. Those blue skies I posted about were nowhere to be found today. Only gray all day with thunder and rain this afternoon. It does seem that the weather pattern has done a flip flop since so many areas that normally would have snow don't have any yet and other places are getting way too much rainfall. Happy anniversary! 49 is certainly something to celebrate. A bottle of wine would round off any day nicely (unfortunately, I live in a country where alcohol is not allowed. Boo!) Best wishes, Tammy
