MY FROME

After walking through Willow Vale on a Friday evening, Esther and I make a beeline for Bar Lotte for an early drink and giant pretzels. It’s great to watch all the young people heading off for a night on the town.

I was a paramedic for 20 years and I’ve recently started working at Frome fire station. Just need to join the police to get the full emergency hat-trick.

We made Frome our home in 2006. We found the town to be friendly and charming. There seems to be a positive attitude tied to Frome, everyone is welcome.

My favourite day would involve food, drink, friends, a dog and roller skating.

My top tip for a day out near Frome is a cycle ride with the family to Palette and Pasture for ice cream.

Frome could be improved by a much needed rejuvenated and bigger skate park; and roller rink, a space for everyone.

I love the walk to Mells along the river, and then to the walled garden for a pizza. Sam the owner has now taken over running the café in the park. Hooray!

I try to get to Amsterdam regularly to skate with es quint. I love watching videos uploaded by Brian Swami B Bfunk, a truly accessible, relatable and inspiring roller skater. More than just skating, Brian has made his work into his life philosophy. He’s a joy to be around. Inspiring.

I am currently working on a youth worker-led project, looking at the needs of our local young people, developing better relationships between them and local people.

Roller skating makes me happy. Middle aged men shouldn’t skate, apparently; turns out this one does, and I feel better for it.

Support our weekly roller disco at the Cheese & Grain. We are a non-profit community organisation and have recently changed our name to Eleven Roller Disco as we are now operating beyond Frome!
