Frome Festival we enjoyed doing the treasure hunt today - learnt a little bit about Frome on the way too! And learned to be a bit more observant of things day to day 😄

When I chatted with the ace performance poet John Hegley recently, he’d been writing an acrostic poem about BBC Somerset whilst on the bus 😊 I’ve loved John’s poems since I was 17 and that’s not about to change any time soon. You can listen back to our conversation here…
