Pussy willow

Did you leave a bunch of pussy willow, daffodils and irises on a doorstep in Wolverhampton?

It would have been on or around the twenty eighth of February, nineteen seventy two. They were for a young couple and their new baby.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you.

Pussy willow, goat willow or great sallow Salix caprea

A very common shrub found all over the British Isles; both the common and scientific names reflect the fondness of goats for this willow’s early spring foliage. But most people know it as pussy willow.
