MY FROME

Something you may not know about me is when I was at college, I was asked to compete in the European Gate Post Hole Digging championship!

I enjoy listening to rugby podcasts , and The Archers is my factory reset time on Sundays when I’m not working.

Seeing my son learn water polo and my daughter act makes me happy.

I couldn’t believe how supportive the people of Frome were when I had my accident in September. Your kindness was quite tear-jerking (literally). Physio is going well, but it’s a long road to full recovery.

I wish more people would vote as so many grumble about the state of local and national politics, but don’t bother voting.

I was born and bred in Frome (working on the family flower stall since I was 5 years old) but now live in Holcombe with my young family. I could never be far away from Frome, and the flower business operates from market towns in the area.

My favourite thing to do in Frome is working on my stall in the centre of town. I love catching up with friends, meeting new people, chatting to strangers and selling my flowers. I’m a lucky chap to be working outdoors with happy people.

Curried chips from Pangs is my go-to lunch choice, they’re the best. And you can’t beat Robin’s doughnuts and granary loaves from The Old Bakehouse. I regularly use all the cafés along Cheap Street, where I can stroll up easily from my market stall.

I like to go to Vobster Quay for a swim, it’s such a beautiful spot. My favourite place for a walk is Cranmore Tower near Frome, the woods there are lovely.

I would like to see free or more affordable parking in Frome. The high street shops are struggling, and I know many of my regulars struggle to get into town.

You can see me every week in the middle of Frome I am a 3rd generation flower farmer who sells fresh flowers on my market stall at Boyles Cross on Wednesdays and Saturdays and also at Bradford on Avon on Thursdays.
