Today Belinda and I went for local walk and viewed the aftermath of the Snowdrop Festival, which took place at the weekend. Belinda said that Shepton had been buzzing!
I was right about the winner of the Best Dressed Window - it was Anna's Attic. The trophy can be seen above top left. Incidentally, it was made by Fran Davies, a specialist stained glass artist, and one of the members of the One Craft Gallery. We, at the gallery got highly commended, as did the Opticians in the High Street - Christopher Young, whose window can be seen in the three bottom pics above...
Our walk took us to the Charlton Viaduct, part of which is in the gardens of Kilver Court. Our route went by their vegetable garden which is being prepared for planting - see above centre top photograph.
The snowdrop festival is run by Shepton Mallet Horticultural Society and they have implemented a massive planting programme, so wherever you go in and around the town, you can see the delicate white snowdrop heads. We saw them everywhere - they are a welcome sign of the forthcoming Spring!
