It what may be one of the most Somerset things to have ever happened, the inhabitants of Royden in the 1630s were investigated by the Archbishop of Canterbury for using their chapel font as a cheese press.

In July we rescued Rusty from a short chain under a shack in the jungle in Thailand.
We found him a home in England.
Today he saw snow for the first time in his life and it was just brilliant… (1/5)

My son left home for a job in a new city today. It's a great job, perfect for him, he's so chuffed. All the same, we sat together in his childhood bedroom this morning and it felt like the end of something precious. Way more final than him going to uni. Strange to be happy/proud/sad all at once. 😭
