Bromham Mill Apple Day is an annual event and the BNHS display was one of the many stalls present and, of course, our nature table stole the show!  The Mink, as usual, was a firm favourite and many boys and girls visiting our display also enjoyed examining our many other exhibits, especially the snake skins.  The magnifying glasses were really popular – seeing things bigger and better is always good.  We were pleased to sign up 3 new YounGnats and hopefully there will be a few more filling in their forms at home.

The picture quiz was a popular challenge.  No-one scored 100% but several prizes were awarded to those who did well – some without help from parents!

There were hundreds of adults and children at the event buying varieties of apple most of us have never heard of and there were many of activities to enjoy too, such as falconry, terrier racing, bird-ringing and tight-rope walking (albeit half a metre off the ground!). Lots of stalls were selling home-made goods to eat, drink and wear, and Bedfordshire Clangers (savoury one side, sweet the other) were perfect for lunch, washed down with delicious apple juice – or cider for the adults!

Come along next year and join in the fun!
