Would Wordsworth turn in his grave? I was driving north on the A3 towards London on Saturday 12th January and turned off at the Esher junction. On part of the roundabout underneath the A3 main road I was amazed to see a very large clump of daffodils growing wild. They were in full bloom and were the first I'd seen this year. We're not two weeks into January for goodness sake!!
"...a host of golden daffodils ..." as Wordsworth said, but I bet he wasn't talking just after Christmas.
I raised what I thought was a record breaking find at lunch today only to be told that a friend of a friend had daffodils come up in her garden last December. There was I thinking I had discovered something remarkable, only to have my delusions shattered. There's always some SMART ALEC isn't there!! Can anyone go one better??
