Chilfrome and Frampton, Dorset; Floods, The River Frome, Snowdrops and a Sacred Tree


From two Dorset walks, yesterday and today:








"The Frome, wi' ever-water'd brink,
Do run where shelvèn hills do zink..."

William Barnes


Chilfrome, Holy Trinity Church:













Thanks to Bill, for leading the walk on Thursday, and to fellow-walker
 Sheila, for recommending the snowdrops at Chilfrome!
