Snowdrops in flower, and an unexpectedly early butterfly

Jennifer H noted on 31st Dec, that the Snowdrops in her garden were coming into flower, and that the Aconite plants were showing signs of life, popping a leaf up above the soil!  

She also noted what must surely be the last butterfly sighting of the year, as a Peacock butterfly made an unexpected appearance in her house, coming out of hibernation on Christmas Day and alighting on the presents.
