Just before Xmas I was asked to look out for mistletoe while out on my walks and it wasn't until I googled mistletoe a few days later that I discovered it only grows in the south of England. Still, I enjoyed the walks.

I wonder if this will be another plant that will move northwards because of the warming uk climate?

It could be a while coming as far up as you are, Ron, but maybe it is still worth keeping an eye out for it. You never know what you might find one day!

Definitely none as yet, as I spent a good few days stupidly looking for it. I also looked out for Holly, which her indoors wanted for Xmas, there were plenty of Holly trees but very few with berries on, yet last year the Holly berries were plentiful, possibly the birds are fattening up for a cold spell.
