@somersetpodcast Ebbor Gorge is beautiful and unspoilt. A bit of a scramble in places, but should be fine for an 8 yr old. Ensure you have good footwear and you should enjoy it.

Two decades since @edgarwright transformed his (and my) home city of Wells into Sandford, visitors and their mums are still coming in big numbers to see on-screen locations. My piece for Points West 🚓

Out on a walk earlier, spying holly berries, I wondered if many girls in England & Wales were given that name (& how far back). This is what FreeBMD revealed . . . The next was 1921. Not as popular as I’d thought.
