Posted on Mon, 29 May 2023

This is so magical and May is the most wonderful month for seeing nature at it's busiest. I have seen a few mayflies this week, they're quite easy to spot if you've seen a picture.

I particularly love the second verse, 'imposing columns...

Posted on Thu, 25 May 2023

You've brought their amazing life cycle to life with this poem, Rhiannon. I remember looking at a local history book and it stated that a nearby pond used to be 'thick with eels' since there are connecting underwater streams from the Thames....
