Thriplow Daffodil weekend




A good turn-out for the Sunday of Thriplow Daffodil week-end, with crowds of families enjoying the sunshine, strolling the lanes of the village admiring daffodils and gardens, eating ice-creams, queuing for sizzling bacon sandwiches, listening to a steel band, admiring sheep-dogs round up some geese, a troupe of morris men, shire horses, lots of cakes and buns and tea. Maybe in these uncertain times this reassuringly traditional week-end event hits the spot more than ever, and the money raised goes on good causes both near and far. As I cycled there, I reckoned I was
allowed an ice-cream!
