Mells Daffodil Day


Monday 25 April - Since today was a bank holiday we took the free time to drive to Mells and partake in the Mells Daffodil Day. Unfortunately all the daffodils have gone by but there were plenty of other lovely flowers as well as lots of excitement in Mells. The village streets were heaving with various stalls selling plants, knick knacks, antiques, food and a myriad of other items. There was a lovely walled garden with excellent views of the surrounding fields. There was a tea stall set up there for those who wanted a bit of a break from the hustle and bustle of the streets. We watched some Morris men, visited all the stalls, the vintage cars and stationary engines and other sites. We greatly enjoyed the Town crier competition which featured town criers from various towns from the south west. We had a hog roast sandwich for lunch, tried some local beer and had some chocolate cake and tea in the afternoon after which we sat in the walled garden and enjoyed the sunshine and view before heading back to Bristol.
