Frome’s Cheery Town Centre

I trudged into Frome Town Centre this morning, head bowed against the beating rain, blustery wind and fighting off a wave of tiredness as I had just returned from a holiday.
My heart was thoroughly cheered as I walked into a flurry of brave souls happily celebrating the Folk Festival with stalls in the Westway precinct, Morris Dancers bouncing around merrily despite the weather in an array of rainbow colours and wonderful costumes, bells jingling fit to make even Santa jealous.  A quick nip into Ellenbray for some essentials and I came out to the rousing sounds of Frome Ukulele Band, my children and I watched as people gathered, listened, joined in the singing and even danced their way passed – brilliant.
Only in Frome could you be cheered up so much on such a foul day weather wise.  I had an excellent holiday and really didn’t want to come back but all this frivolity changed my mind.  I love living here!
