  5. Spotted at Tyntesfield!

    Blanche Gibbs used this room as a private sitting room, where she could entertain female friends and family William and Blanche married in 1839. Willam was 49 and Blanche 21. The couple had seven children together.

    Blanche was musical and well-read. She played the harp and once wrote that 'a room without books is always dull and insipid.'

  7. Are there any GNU/Linux users here from the Central Somerset area? I'm interested in the idea of running 'install parties' for local people who would like to switch from Mac and especially Windows now that many people's hardware is about to become unsupported. Is anyone already doing this? Or would like to do it with me? Or would just like to connect as a fellow enthusiast?!

  19. 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."

  20. #OnThisDay in 1879, Dr Annie Wainwright Hyatt was born. She was a trailblazer at a time when it was very difficult for women to become doctors. Plus she worked through both world wars in the Shepton Mallet area.

    Pictured is Shepton Mallet from the early 1900s.

  21. Today's brief awake time despite #neuro illness saw me tackle a couple of piles. Stuff sorted. Things put away, things brought out for attention (inc books to read). Things to go to #charity shops including lots of #DandieDinmontTerrier club magazines. My gggg-granddad in the #ScottishBorders was a pioneering early breeder. I recorded a video talk about him some years ago - link below. My husband also grew up with #Dandies next door in rural #Somerset. youtube.com/watch?v=FRq6XqoNn_ #Dogs #Dogstodon

  22. Went around Shepton Mallet Prison for the last time today before it shuts in Jan.
    Loads of history there, including #womenInSomerset

  23. Walkers are Welcome Town - Shepton Mallet

    Shepton Mallet is perfectly positioned to explore the countryside around us, nestled as it is at the gateway to the Mendip hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty criss-crossed with trails, footpaths and the remains of ancient and medieval industry and workings.
