The roadworks that so many of you have written to me about are complete, ahead of schedule, and in time for Easter!
Well done to the road crews for achieving this milestone, and thanks to the dedicated Public Liaison Officer for keeping my team in the loop.

A local stopped to look I said if stays or too long I may sketch him. He said if I did, he would be a big circle. He recommended another spot to sketch but where I was sat, I could drink a coffee and eat teacakes. He said that’s the spirit as he patted me on the back.

Lunchtime in Dunster today 🌼☀️
Daffodils in bloom and blue skies over our historic village - not a bad spot for a midday stroll.

The rood screen at St George’s #Dunster was locally carved. 60ft wide, 11ft high. Said to be the longest in Europe. Divides the nave from the choir built for parishioners after church was divided between Townspeople & monks. #RoodScreen #Churches #Priories #Somerset

Time for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #Dunster #Somerset. All of the bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: Priory tithe barn. Used to store one tenth of all of the grain grown (a tithe). A down payment on a place in heaven
Time for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #Dunster #Somerset. All of the bits and pieces Mouse didn't share in the week: The nunnery. A misnomer but certainly associated with the Priory. Perhaps a guest house, now private housing. Built late C15. That's a great survivor
That's space for a lot of pigeons! They're all the same, but on a personal level they hate to be pigeonholed. Some rather industrial gateage, but a gate's a gate to Mouse #Dunster #Somerset #Thursgate #IronworkThursday
Every week Mouse has the tricky task of choosing a #MouseFavouritePhoto and this week was no easier. This photo though captures the anticipation of a first visit to a new heritage site. So near... and yet so far #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset
And as #FireplacesMeanFarewell, what of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset? The remnants of a medieval castle subsumed by a Victorian home. The interior is not to Mouse's taste but the exterior is a building detective's dream. Mouse award 4/5 #MusVisit 🐭🐭🐭🐭
