Frome is where the heart is

Somerset, so much to answer for.  Frome was founded by St. Aldhelm in 685AD when he built St. John's church (although my friend Simon, a historian, claims this isn't true, but he would because he's from Wiltshire).  It grew into an important market town and wool trading centre.  It's still quite nice, and I enjoyed a chilly wander down to the shops with Mum today.  My goal was to stock up on Teapigs, which I happily achieved.  My suitcase is already full.


Some daffodils shiver in the spring temperatures.


Fine reading material.


Mum in Cheap Street.


Suitcase fillers.


Amazingly, I'm not the most famous person to come from Frome.


And the River Frome that his bridge goes over.



Who doesn't?
