  5. 10th September

    Today in 1816, Mary Shelley and her husband, Percy, arrived in Bath. Mary’s journal states: “Arrive at Bath about two – dine and spend the evening in looking for lodgings”.

    Mary didn’t spend that much time in Somerset, but her stay in Bath was very significant. Staying until early 1817, she wrote much of Frankenstein whilst living there. She was only 19 at the time.

    Mary features in On This Day in Somerset.

  10. St Aldelms Well, Doulting, Somerset. A spring that is the source of River Sheppey. Said to have curative properties - somewhat undermined by the fact that St Aldelm died, shortly after arriving here.

  11. St Aldelms Well. Supposedly curative - even though St Aldelm died here (Doulting, Somerset), presumably after drinking the water.

    ✧ River Parrett ✧

    The River Parrett flows through the counties of Dorset and Somerset in South West England. Arising from its source in the Thorney Mills springs in the hills around Chedington, Dorset, it flows northwest through the Somerset Levels to its mouth at Burnham-on-Sea, into the nature reserve at Bridgwater Bay on the...

  14. Although the various supernatural black dogs of English folklore were generally seen as being either dangerous or bad omens, the benevolent Gurt Dog of Somerset was said to protect the children of the area and safely guide lost travelers back home. #FolkloreSunday

  15. 🍺⛏️ If you walk near the Henbury gorge today you will see the Giant’s Footprint where Goram stamped his foot in rage when he woke up from his snooze. And if you look out to the Severn Sea from Weston you will see two islands - Steep Holm and Flat Holm - which are the head and shoulders of the poor drowned giant.

  16. 🍺⛏️ Goram turned up just in time to see Avona gleefully meandering through Ghyston’s gorge. Well, he was beside himself, and in the heat of the moment he threw himself into the Severn Sea where he quickly drowned. Unfortunately stories involving giants often end in sadness.

  17. 🍺⛏️ So Goram begins his gorge at a place now known as Henbury. And Ghyston starts digging at what is now Clifton. To be fair, it was a really hot day, but Goram drank quite a lot of cider whilst he was working, and eventually he fell asleep in the sun. When he woke up, he discovered that Ghyston had already finished his gorge.

  18. 🍺⛏️ Well, I’ve never met a giant but I understand they are argumentative things. Goram and Ghyston couldn’t agree on the best route to dig their channel, so they decided to each dig a separate one. They said that whoever finished first would impress Avona most and win her love. Not that Avona agreed to this.

  19. 🍺⛏️ People who know these things say that Avona was never interested in Goram or Ghyston, but that didn’t stop them thinking they could win her love. One day they came up with an idea to dig a channel through the hills so that the lady of the lake would be free to flow out to the sea if she wanted. That might impress her.

  20. Britain’s flagship nuclear plant scrambles to avoid cash crunch

    by Rachel Millard, Matt Oliver, February 2023

    "EDF said there is a high likelihood that state-owned China General Nuclear (CGN) will not want to contribute to a crucial fresh round of funding for the #HinkleyPoint C project in #Somerset."

  21. Today is a day of appointments - and waiting in the car for the next one…
    Here I am (in my car) at the beach in Minehead where, between showers and sunshine, this beautiful rainbow appeared.
    The pot of gold is somewhere out there!
