Spring in Cornwall

We had such a good time in Cornwall, with most of the extended family able to be there, but I fear it might be the last of such occasions. Now the grandchildren are all growing up, they are spreading out in all directions and it will soon be impossible to gather them all together, even if they should wish to come. Sadly, the next occasion will probably be a family funeral. Even sadder if it's ours!

Still, this was great. I was amazed to see daffodils out in bloom, since ours haven't even found the courage to peep above the ground yet.

I said to the receptionist, "I'm amazed by your daffodils."

She said, "Yes, they are late, aren't they? It was the snow before Christmas. It's put them back a month." She went on to explain that they usually harvest their daffodils before Christmas, which amazed me even more since we expect ours for Easter. If we're lucky.

Just shows that while it may be spring in Cornwall, it's definitely still winter in Norfolk!
