Yes, just go's to show how mild it is for this time of year.
I was walking my dog this morning and saw clouds of midges, along the way!

I feel certain we are living in a time of unprecedented events.
Its apparently been the warmest December night in England since records began (18/12 2015) and tonight it don't seem much different.

We're doomed, I tell ye. Doomed!

Daffodils in December? Doomed.
Azalea shooting in December? Doomed.
Primroses and Cowslips blooming in December? Doomed

My cherry tree is in half blossom - am I doomed too?

[Tilly2]

Yup!

I'd better go and eat my cream cake then before Armageddon gets here ;))
