Warm smile, upside-down glasses & memories of a World Championship that kept 19 million of us transfixed until well after midnight back in the day! I've been chatting with snooker legend Dennis Taylor & it's one of my favourite ever conversations. Listen here: www.besomerset.com/post/clash-o...

Hosting a charity Dog Show requires lots of different interviewing positions 😂 Wonderful time at Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue’s Dog Show last weekend. Great to meet all the hounds and humans and to hear their stories - impossible to judge! ❤️🐕 #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsrock

Full moon. Half moon. Total eclipse! 😂 No photos of the actual eclipse in the sky because we were in the moment watching through solar binoculars, but we do have the Jaffa Cakes to remember it by! 🌒

The #eclipse just has to have a Choir of the Earth soundtrack… and Eric Whitacre’s Lux Aurumque, performed by our choir, is perfect for this golden light. Our Musical Director Ben took these beautiful captures of the event, here in South West England yesterday. What a moment! 🌒🎶 #choralsky

Do you love a local heritage site near where you live? Maybe you’ve researched your family ancestry? Earlier, I had a lovely chat with Historian David Olusoga about a new competition uncovering places that celebrate local people who have shaped the nation. David shares more about it in this clip:
