Building that Dream ITV

Hi Mandy, A small world isn't it, I've lived here in Westbury for nearly eleven years, as you know it's a rural town like Frome and it suits me fine, I did live in Bath for a short while but I so hated the urban life, too much hustle and bustle for me I originated from Wells in Somerset and that's really where my heart is ... I'm a true 'Somerset cuckoo'. Plymouth is a lovely place too, in fact I was thinking about having a day out down there very soon. Audrey

Hi Audrey, nice to meet another neighbour! We've lived here for nearly 15 years now, I'm a Plymouth girl originally. We used to go to the cheese show when it was on the showfield, but we haven't been since they moved it out of town - not quite the same! There are quite a few people on GR from this area, Southwick, Dilton Marsh, couple of Fromies!

Hi Mandy, I live in Westbury, virtually neighbours aren't we, one of my daughter's lives in Frome. Do you ever go to the Cheese show, I don't think it's quite the same since they moved it out of the town but I still go, I shall be exhibiting one or two of my crafts there this year. Audrey

Hello Audrey, where do you live? I'm in Frome, also quite close to Witham Friary! I saw one of the Buildling the Dream vans go past our road the other day (not much of a claim to fame though is it?)!! Mandy :)

Hi Julia, I too watched building the dream final .... and cried for Spencer & Michelle, they did work extremely hard and ITV should not have cruelly ignored them like that, I was hoping they would win that house, I don't live very far from Witham Friary and I felt thse two would have fitted in that village very well. audrey.

Have just watched the finel and cried for Spencer & Michelle, they worked so hard and at the end were just ignored. Sometimes these TV programmes can be very cruel. Julia
