Ilminster Carnival 2011


Last night we had the annual illuminated carnival procession pass through the town and by all accounts a fine time was had by all who attended. Here's a picture of just one of the beautifully made floats.

Travellers move in to Canal Way, Ilminster

This week I notice that travellers / gypsies have taken up residence in a layby at the far end of Canal Way. When the van they and their dogs reside in isn't there they even leave half their belongings behind in the street.

What a bloody eyesore and surely some sort of health hazard! See picture for details of part of the encampment.
