This week has seen ample reason for celebration in Somerset, particularly with Bath’s victory in the European Challenge Cup, as rugby enthusiasts from the west descended upon Cardiff yet again.
The county also saw triumphs at the Chelsea Flower Show, and enthusiasts of classic automobiles had a splendid time in Wells.
As always, magnificent sunrises, sunsets, and scenes from nature have been showcased.

A Somerset-based florist and flower farmer has come back from the Chelsea Flower Show with a prestigious gold medal. Georgie Newbery from Charlton Musgrove was part of the Farewell Flowers Collective responsible for designing a funeral display, marking the first instance this theme has ever appeared at Chelsea in its 113 years of existence. This innovative exhibit secured them top honors.
Cheddar goats: These animals blend in quite well with their surroundings; however, upon closer inspection, you’ll notice goats darting across the path within Cheddar Gorge. This image was taken by Weather Watcher West Country Wombat.
Side trail: Stroll along the Strawberry Line pathway passing through Winscombe, and you will come across this scene—the end point of the railway line active between 1869 and 1963, which has transformed into a serene green area for leisure.
At a local Rode pub this week, visitors can interact with donkeys, miniature Shetland ponies, goats, rabbits, and lambs. These charming creatures will be accompanying them courtesy of Second Chance Petting Farm, an organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals.
