I've managed to bag a couple of Ryanair cheapies for a long weekend at the end of January. Can any of the residents tell me, will the famous almond blossom be out that early? Thanks.

It depends on the weather through the winter, but it is possible - just!

I wonder if some kind resident could give me the latest blossom bulletin? Many thanks - excitement high here in anticipation of our coming long weekend. Weather forecast looks good too.

Our garden in full of almond blossom now, it's absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you blue. Really looking forward to seeing this (I'm making the assumption it's pretty well the same throughout the area, so you don't have to worry about a couple of strange types appearing at the bottom of your garden!).
