Norton & Radstock Photographic Society member, Jane Lewis, turned out to be a bit of a dark horse this week, revealing in passing that she was a runner-up in the 2022 Countryfile Calendar.

We gather Jane’s photo (pictured, above) did not make the final 12, but her entry is featured as a smaller picture on the August page. Originally entitled “Two Metres Please!”, to reflect the Covid situation as Jane perceived it, and intended it to be viewed, however the company decided to alter it to “Get off My Land!”

Anyway, we are very proud of her efforts and want to give it, and Jane, wider recognition so we are featuring it in our report and on the website this week.

Still busy with holidays and childcare, numbers attending our walks have dropped a little but we still go!

Today (Friday) we are visiting the recently reopened Kilver Court Gardens at midday and are looking forward to meeting a potential new member, Michelle Curtis who hails from Writhlington and contacted us through the website.

It’s good to know people are looking!

Next week we must plan a slightly longer amble for those interested and all ideas are welcome!
