I've just noticed that one of my plum trees is coming into flower. The gardening books, which base their judgements on the experience of past generations, suggest April as the usual time for plums and cherries to flower, with apples following in May. I shall be interested to see when my apple blossom appears.
At the time I thought that last November's snow and the cold December that followed could indicate a cold Winter of the sort I grew up to expect. Not so apparently.
If it goes on like this for another 50 years, it will start to look like climate change, a change for the better in my judgement, though I shan't be around to enjoy it.
