sign of an early spring

I have read that ladybirds know whats coming . If its to be a hard winter and a late spring they hibernate deep within cover ie sheds . If an early spring is expected they stay in the garden for a quick defrosting to eat those pests.

I have also recently read that 2014 IS TO BE BE THE HOTTEST ON RECORD

you heard it here first

There are two peacock butterflies in the garden, as well. Lovely to see them.
