I can't believe that one of the schools managed to get Sir David Attenborough to stand there at their spring for over a week. He's 100 years old! You can't do that to a centenarian!

Just posted some (unedited) photos from Malvern's 2026 Well Dressing event. There's a _lot_ of natural springs around Malvern (which is known for its water, which the Victorians used for its supposed healing properties). So every May Day then they dress all of the springs and wells (and even water pumps and baptismal fonts!).
This year's theme was Birds.

Checked out some of the dressed wells in Malvern this weekend. The theme was "folklore and fairy tales".
By far the best two: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Eco Bhakti Sangha's Krishna and Kaliya (with SO MANY BANGLES making the snake!)
Now I just need to sort through the pics, crop and edit 😐

I'm not religious, but it would be nice to learn about some local history, and I can go during my lunch hour 😀
