Hope for Justice

Leave a reply

We have the privilege to be hosting members of the Hope for Justice team in The Old Barn at the moment, who are exhibiting at Summer 2015 New Wine at the Bath and West Showground.

This fantastic charity is doing superb work to end human trafficking and slavery – find out more about their work and how you can help them at http://hopeforjustice.org/

While showing further guests into their suite in The Loft, these lovely girls arrived back from their day at New Wine and were delighted and surprised to find our new guests were relatives they had not seen in some time.  Neither of the parties had any idea the others were staying.

Would you believe it….

 

Snow White and the Huntsman

Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt were out and abut in Wells this week, and some lucky locals saw cast and crew  in Ask and Coffee#1.  Unfortunately, none of us here at The White House Bed and Breakfast caught so much as a glimpse….

Summer Holidays are finally here….

The sun doesn’t seem to have realised but the summer holidays are finally here.  There’s lots to see and do here in Wells and my own children are busy sharing their time between puppy watching and tennis club.

We are ready to welcome friends to The White House later next week which is something else to look forward to, so with our lovely bed and breakfast guests here too, there is no chance to be bored…..

A big welcome to Bob from The White House, Dulcote Wells

Leave a reply

Well, we finally brought Bob home on Friday evening and he is settling in really well.  Despite being warned that we may have a few sleepless nights, he has slept right through the night and, although we have had three very early mornings, my fears that he might disturb our guests crying, have been unfounded.  In fact – he is turning out to be a great hit!  A little jealous really, our guests comments now focus on how gorgeous Bob is………..  You can see from the photo what a little rascal he has turned out to be.

 

bob is home!

 

 

Snow White and The Huntsman

Leave a reply

A few days ago I promised to post some pictures of Snow White and the Huntsman, which is currently filming in Wells, less than a mile from The White House Bed and Breakfast.

Well, the pictures aren’t great, and I didn’t manage to capture the huge encampment at the bottom of Bishops Fields, but here goes….

The place is a hive of activity at the moment, although we haven’t yet managed to see any of the stars of the film

Preparation is going on in earnest for the filming of the prequel to ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’.  Fake walls are being build around the archway to the City Square and Bishps Palace; there is a mass of security and huge marquees in the fields connecting Dulcote to Wells.  Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Chris Hemsworth are starring, and rumour has it that many of the props from Harry Potter films will be re-used in the film.

Raining heavily here at the moment but if the weather eases, I’ll try to get some picture to upload to our post.

Priddy Folk Festival

Leave a reply

Glastonbury may be over but the music continues in Dulcote’s surrounding area with the Priddy Folk Festival on 10th – 12th July.   With a very different look and feel the festival is organised and run by a group of volunteers.  Over the years, it has grown from a fund raiser for the Priddy village hall to a huge fund raiser promoting music and arts and dedicated to improving the environment around Priddy.

There are still some tickets available, go to the festival website at priddyfolk.org to find out more

Darlek invasion of Wells

Leave a reply

After an energetic day in The White House garden yesterday, replenishing all of our pots, I settled down with a cup of coffee to read the Wells Journal.  Imagine my surprise to hear of an imminent invasion of Wells of those old Dr Who adversaries, the Darleks…..  According to the Journal, intergalactic messages have been intercepted, indicating that an army of Daleks, Cybermen, Ice Warriors and Pig Slaves  will invade Wells on Saturday, August 15, in the Market Square at around 11am, and moving onto the Bishop’s Barn at around noon.

Here’s hoping they don’t make it up to Dulcote!
