December daffodils

This is a clump of early flowering daffs that in other years started flowering in time for my niece Cato's birthday on 11 January, even after the Great Freeze of 5 years ago. This winter has been so mild, so far, that they appeared at the beginning of this month!
(I have been waiting for proper sunshine to photograph them, but the weather has been uncooperative, so when today's rain stopped this afternoon, I decided to take this picture anyway!)
