    There are various legends associated with dragons and serpents in Somerset. The legendary St Keyne is said to have turned snakes to stone in Keynsham. This was a way of explaining the ammonites found in the area and Keyne may have lent her name to the town.

  7. Sunny but #hazy as #WildfireSmoke returns to #Maine Sunday

    An #AirQuality Alert is in place for Sunday.

    Emily Pike, August 2, 2025

    "Sunday morning lows in the 50s and 60s, with highs in the 70s to 80s. Skies will be mostly sunny, but Canadian wildfire smoke will bring a thick haze for the higher elevations. An Air Quality Alert is in effect Sunday.

    "An #AirQualityAlert is in effect from 1 AM to 11 PM on Sunday, August 3, 2025, for parts of #Maine and #NewHampshire due to expected high levels of #ParticlePollution.

    "The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued the alert for the Western and Eastern Interior regions of the state, including areas in #Franklin, #Somerset, #York, Cumberland, #Androscoggin, and #Kennebec counties. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has issued a similar alert for #Coos, #Grafton, and #Carroll counties.

    "Air quality is expected to reach levels that are considered 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' due to a plume of smoke moving in from Canada.

    "Those most at risk include children, older adults, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, and anyone who is physically active outdoors. Even healthy individuals may experience mild symptoms and should consider limiting strenuous or prolonged outdoor activity during this time.

    "High pressure is keeping things dry and sunny, which may allow the smoke to linger into next week, thickening into Monday.

    "Looking Ahead: Maine is off to a dry start this August. Without significant rainfall soon, #drought conditions could develop, potentially affecting #crops and increasing #FireRisk.

    "The 8-day forecast shows only a few chances for showers and slightly below-average temperatures, mainly in the 70s to 80s."

  8. I was taken to The Newt in Somerset recently. It's a garden I'd heard a lot about and it's long been on my 'must visit' list.

    There's certainly plenty to see and huge distances to be walked - we chose the hottest day so far this year to visit!

    Head over to the blog for a round up of the day and some thoughts about the garden: bit.ly/42X0CMk
