This March, our sights turn to outdoor events again – and we’re delighted to say that the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend makes a welcome return. Bright, cheerful daffodils fill the Spring with colour and we’ve used them on our front covers – photographer Neil Baker used to take pictures for BBC Cambridgeshire on occasion a number of years ago, for events such as the Folk Festival and gigs at the Junction, but life got in the way and he is only just returning to it now. His photos of the daffodils were taken last year at Thriplow – festival or not, these gorgeous flowers bloom every spring.
