Hi fellow Somerseter's! I am very proud to hear that my town of Wellington is bidding to become a 'Food Town' i.e known for it's local produce/restaurants.
The organiser's have arranged a big event for Sat 2nd Dec at 10am in the car park at the Conservative Club in High Street (in Marquee's lol!). I think they are hoping to get some well-known local chef's to give demonstrations of recipes etc. FREE FOOD TASTING!
So, if you are in the area come along and see what Wellington has to offer.
Love and light

Now 10 NOT 11am
RE: wellington 'food town'
Ouch, I'm so sorry! I feel like one of those Londoners who has simply bought a second house here. I don't know where the place is - SORRY! - and will have to look it up on a map. Meantime, feel welcome to visit Frome? 😉
RE: wellington 'food town'
LOL Venetian! You are forgiven! I look forward to visiting Frome at some point, thanks for the invitation!
It's so funny, you know. The locals can't understand why anyone should want to move here but when you point out all the things that go on etc they are amazed as they are not aware of them! I feel like an ambassador for this town for it's own residents lol.
Love and light

RE: wellington 'food town'
LOL. Do you get the same reaction that i do? If I walk into a cafe or pub, everyone picks up that I don't have a Somerset accent. :DIt's like Clint Eastwood walking into a wild west bar! Or at least it was like that - the last 6 months there have been so many Poles and Londoners moving here that the locals are starting to get used to it.

RE: wellington 'food town'
Ooh, Reikiangel, thanks for posting ... marked in diary already. I'll go a long way for free food and it's only about 12 miles as the crow flies. 😀 I know what you mean about the food in this area ... I am a happy frequenter of several farm shops for fresh local and organic produce.
Venetian, here's a map of Somerset for you:

Nobody has ever commented on my accent ... or perhaps I should say lack of ... though one or two locals have corrected my pronunciation of some village names. Maybe Frome is further off the beaten track (main trunk route) than Ilminster.
Thinking back to the SW meet up of HPers in Bath, which was <gasp> TWO years ago almost to the date, I am wondering if perhaps we could make this "do" in Wellington into something of a mini-meet up if others are interested?
Reikiangel, what do you think? We can always give the title of this thread a tiny tweak, and I could post a reference in General Discussions if you like, to make more people aware. You might have to tell the good folk of Wellington though, if hoards of hungry HPers are going to descend on the town like gannets, so they can get in extra supplies. :D:D
