Set in a former wool carders', our shop at the top of Catherine Hill in Frome is a treasure trove of pattern and colour, from fairy tale illustrations and signature dry-felted sheep to linen cushions and fine bone china mugs featuring colourful prints. Mary designs and makes her products in her studio above the shop and works closely with British manufacturers to produce her home and design led gifts. Catherine Hill is a renowned enclave of small independent shops and artisan studios. Located in the historical town of Frome in Somerset, it makes for a great day out. Visit on the first Sunday of the month, from March to December, for the famous Frome Artisan Market where local shop owners and stall holders come together to offer designer goods, vintage collectibles, fresh produce and much much more.

We met up with friends in the garden area of Whiterow Farm a few days ago, taking our own comfy picnic chairs, sitting under one of the huge parasols there. Hats off to their very sensible and practicsl Covid measures. One person allowed at a time to place hot drinks/cake/meals inside the café. During our 4hrs' chilling and chatting, we drank delicious teas and coffees, ate one of the amazing beef bap with veg meals, and really enjoyed browsing the huge deli, choosing a homemade pork pie, a homemade Stilton & Mushroom pastie, and spinach and cheese puff pastry slice. Everything was so full of flavours and generously-sized. Nothing cost more than £2.75 - everything was top-notch quality and great value. The staff were friendly, and managed the distancing measures well. 10 customers maximum allowed in the massive farm shop for example. All the visitors we saw were happily patient to queue when needed. It's a pretty chilled place anyway. The indoor dining areas were closed to comply with Covid measures, but there's plenty of space outside, some of it covered. Picnic blankets or chairs are welcome here...do treat yourself from the deli - such a wide delicious selection. Not as cheap as budget supermarkets, but not expensive, and oh, such tasty great value. Parking is on the level and free. There's a huge enclosed family/kids' field with climbing activities, and pigs to see. We visit Whiterow Farm once or twice each year, (a 60mile drive for us), and it was so nice to return. We even found a jar of our favourite hot carrot & coriander chutney! Thanks to all the staff.
