Are you enjoying the rain? Maybe we should make the most of it; you know, before people start talking about record temperatures, hosepipe bans and how to deal with heatstroke? #frome #fromesomerset #rain #england #weather

Spring was certainly in the air today! #frome #fromesomerset #nature #spring #somerset

An uphill shot of this lovely thoroughfare, on another wet afternoon! #frome #fromesomerset #lovefrome @garfieldaustinphotography

Still lovely, even in the weekend’s ghastly weather #frome #fromesomerset @garfieldaustinphotography

Not long now until 1st Feb! For those doing dry January our meandering photographer commends to you the @bar_lotte tomato juice, Worcester sauce and Tabasco combo - AKA a 'Virgin Mary'.
It has density.
It has texture.
It has olives with it. 🫒🍅🔥

Fed up of handing your kid a bag of crisps for a snack? Or feeling a bit guilty when you grab one yourself? 🙋‍♀️
Try this instead! 🍏🥜 Crisp apple slices with a dollop of peanut butter. Still crunchy, still satisfying, but with a bit more goodness.
Simple swaps. No drama. 😁

Is this the most elegant entrance in town? Others may be grander but this, perhaps, on Christchurch Street East, with its splendid door and chinoiserie portico, is the entrance to top all others! #frome #fromesomerset #somerset #door #doorsofinstagram #portico #elegance #design #architecture #craftsmanship #chinoiserie @garfieldaustinphotography

A standard Saturday in town.

Our meandering photographer set out this morning with a decidedly heavy heart. His walking boots were laced over three pairs of socks; thermal long johns, Gore-Tex base layer, heavy-duty shirt and fleece all stacked beneath a hooded coat wrapped so tightly he could barely move. And still, none of it could ward off the creeping dread of a classic wet Mendip Sunday. 🌧️🥶
Stepping onto Catherine Street like a bullfighter entering the arena, he braced himself - but nothing could have prepared him for the true peril ahead: umbrellas. Umbrellas coming at him from every direction. More than once, he narrowly avoided losing an eye to a rogue strut. ☂️😂
He dived left, ducked right, peered over them, crawled under them - and just as he felt he’d finally mastered the ancient art of umbrella-dodging…the rain stopped.
Here’s hoping it was a brilliant day for traders and shoppers alike!

🔥 News on Fabulous Frome 🔥
A few days on from the Marigold Road fire, the scale of what happened - and the strength of our community response - is becoming clearer. Nine households were left without homes, but Frome has rallied with donations, lifts, meals and practical help.

Our columnist @daisysteel spoke with Chloe, one of the residents displaced by the fire, to hear firsthand what those moments were like.

While most of Frome was winding down for the night, Sonia from the @when_in_frome podcast grabbed a head torch, a bat detector and joined a team of locals for the annual Frome Bat Count. 🦇✨
It’s part night walk, part science project - and a magical peek into the wildlife that comes alive after dark.
