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! 🌒

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:

Bunny & the bubbles! 💖🔫🐇🫧 What a fashion show at Hatch Somerset yesterday. The After Party was so much fun to be at! My story was a comment on gun crime & consumerism, all wrapped up in a bunny-human hybrid having the time of her life with thousands of bubbles! (Obviously 😂) #performanceart

Sat down for a chat with Jason Donovan & it wasn’t what I was expecting. We spoke about the big stuff - what it’s really like to entertain, being at the centre of a “perfect career storm", & what really matters…family, love (& for me, roast potatoes! 😂 ) Full chat: www.besomerset.com/post/jason-d...

10 years tonight since we moved to Somerset. We were driving down the motorway in our rickety van about now 😂 Best decision we ever made. It feels like forever, in the best possible way. Celebrating with a cider and a few festivities at home this evening ❤️💛 Happy, happy 10 years 🎉 #somerset

This girl! From having major spinal surgery earlier in the year, to running around like a pup again now. A few months off her 10th birthday and always a pup to us. The best thing we ever did was rescue her, thanks to Lurcher SOS. We love our Petal 😍 #RescueDogs #RescueDogsRock
