GLAD TO BE OUT THE HOUSE!

Weather wise there was nothing special today, just grey and still mild but it was great for me to get out the house as there had been more than enough drama at home!  A blocked shower and water coming through the ceiling into the kitchen below was not a good start for the day!

We didn't stray too far, but did discover a previously unknown, to me, area of Shepton where there were some recently built houses  along what was the old railway track.  Jenny said she used to walk along the track as a child. You often hear people say that the old tracks and railway stations should be restored and become fully functioning again, but this would be impossible as there has been so much development all over the country.

When we walk around Shepton it is so interesting to hear Jenny talk about her memories of the town and what the buildings used to be used for.  I have only lived here eleven years or so while she has had family connections here all her life...

As we walked round we had a good look at the Christmas decorations outside homes, particularly the variety of wreaths on front doors! 

We were particularly taken with Bowlish House, which is a popular hotel and restaurant.  Loved the greenery curled around the pillars and according to the pics on their website they have some pretty impressive Christmas decorations inside!!
