Many people know that Frome Old Showfield is not just full of friendly dogs, but friendly dog-walkers too.
The field has, over the years, become a sociable place for people to pass each other and often stop to chat and many newcomers have been surprised at the warm welcome both they and their pets receive.
Some of the walkers decided to organize a Christmas lunch to celebrate the festive season.
Margaret Gilmour, one of the walkers said, “Most of us only ever see each other in the Showfield at various times, but the friendliness of everyone is really special. We think what the town council have done to improve the facilities there, for the children the general public and dog walkers is fantastic, with the improved children’s play area and associated fencing and the installation of hard paths and more dog bins. The recent planting of the fruit orchard with seating is also lovely.”
