This lovely snowdrop display was inside St Peter and St Paul's church in Shepton Mallet. This was one of the venues for the 5th Shepton Mallet Snowdrop Festival, a celebration of James Allen (1830-1906) who lived in the town. Allen was a renowned Galanthophile who created hundreds of varieties of snowdrop. The event held over a week involves walks, talks, workshops and plant sales. By chance today we ended up chatting to the organiser, a very chatty lady, who is also the organiser of Shepton's art scene and involved with Shepton Walks. One of those ladies who gets things done. Although I drive through regularly it's the first time ever that I've looked around Shepton, and it's not a bad town at all, the people here seem very friendly.
