Every year, my village, Toft, holds a Spring Festival, which, on Sunday, included Maypole dancing (even the men were coopted to dance this year) , Dressing the Well and Springling water from branches of Rosemary, a Church Service and Parish tea. This year we had a special Nurturing Nature theme so, on Saturday, we sampled the creatures in the Bourn Brook to get an indication of the state of the water.. There were fewer animals than should be there, confirming the feared high level of pollution, but we did find the larvae of the Green Drake Mayfly, Pond Olive, and Banded Demoiselle. I put up a panel of photos from my Wildlife Garden in the Village Hall display.
