A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 19th September 2026

Saturday 19th was the date chosen for September's photo an hour challenge. September was the first carnival month down here in Somerset and Lily had her second carnival procession to take part in that evening. In the morning, she went to her weekend theatre school while me and Andrew did some last-minute preparations for the costume!

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 16th May 2026

Saturday 16th was the date chosen for May's photo an hour. We went out for the afternoon to visit my brother; it ended up raining so we just took a drive and found a couple of local cake sheds! In the evening, it was Eurovision so we settled down to watch that - it was a fab song that won the contest!

A three month round-up to do this time! Carnival season here in Somerset has taken up most of our time and there just hasn't been the time to do the usual photo an hour round-ups. 

So here's a long post with lots of photos :-) 

Saturday 20th September was a carnival day on the Wessex circuit of processions. That day it was the turn of Frome Carnival and there was a children's afternoon procession and an evening procession.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 19th July 2025

Saturday 19th was the date chosen for July's photo an hour. Lily and Andrew were camping at a local steam rally so I had (almost) the day to myself. I say almost as my uncle was staying at ours for the weekend but heading down to the steam rally himself for the day. The reason I stayed home was that I had tickets to see Tim Minchin in Bath in the evening with a friend! It was a fabulous show and made even better by the fact that our tickets got upgraded when we arrived (there was an issue with our booked seats) meaning we ended up 4 rows from the stage!

A Photo Every Hour- Saturday 22nd March 2025

March's photo an hour date was Saturday 22nd. My dad's funeral had been the day before so we had family around from various locations north and south. It wasn't too bad a day weather-wise so we decided on an afternoon stroll along Clevedon seafront, taking in some ice cream, cake and playgrounds.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 15th February 2025

Saturday 15th was the date chosen for February's photo an hour. My Mum's birthday would have been the week before so we thought it might be nice to remember her by taking a trip to one of her (and our) favourite seaside spots - Teignmouth in Devon. The day started off a bit rainy and grey but by the time we'd headed down the motorway, it brightened up and the sun started to shine!

Saturday 18th January was the first photo an hour date of 2025. We headed out on a day trip for Lily's birthday (which was the following week).

Saturday 16th was November's photo an hour date - the last big carnival of the season here in Somerset!
