No sign of life

OK, so there is SOME sign of life - on the bridge - traffic. However, on a dull, wet winter morning in Bewdley there don't seem to be many people about. It may be wet and soggy, but it is very mild for December in this part of the world. There are even daffodils sprouting - indeed, fully open - in some parts of the country. Very bizarre. Wouldn't expect to see them until about mid-February at the earliest.
