History – I’m a resident of Somerset and much of my life is spent writing. My regular diary now runs to about 1.8 million words and can be viewed on the internet. A lot of what I write is about events and life in Somerset, and recently I’ve become especially intrigued by the area around Priddy, Westbury and Easton.

What began as an in-depth blog has grown into something larger: a local history book, a bit like a modern-day version of the Domesday Book, but focused on people’s lives rather than land or property. This is the first time such a volume has been attempted so I hope it will achieve some recognition.. My partner Francoise and myself have done the interviews.
