RURAL RETREAT: Photographer Tracey Thomas spent the last days of 2020 going on a ‘mud wade’ around the Moorend Spout and Land Yeo towards the Church of St Quiricus and St Julietta at Tickenham. Here are her lovely photos. We have begun a 2021 gallery but sadly no new year celebrations or our usual Apple Wassail at The Old Farmhouse or Trendlewood Park for 2021...
Nailsea farmer's market
Nailsea & Backwell Rotarians act as marshalls for a festive High Street event which was full of good cheer and anti-Covid-19 masks minus any up-close-and-personal mistletoe kisses this year although mulled wine and mince pies were on offer at Nailsea MicroPub as it opened for takeaway service...

December market
Nailsea Christmas Farmers’ Market will be in the High Street on Saturday, December 19. The road will be closed to traffic for the day.
After Novembers ‘essentials only’ lockdown market the organisers said: "We will be back to full strength for our Christmas event with the return of our craft stalls alongside the amazing array of food, drink and seasonal plants so there will be plenty of gift buying opportunities.
"There will also be the opportunity to take home the new farmers' market leaflets with the dates on from March to December 2021 when the market kicks off next year.
"Despite the excitement of a new Covid vaccine available soon, the market itself will still be following strict guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety.
"We offer sanitiser and instructions on arrival, we create safe queuing areas in front of each stall and our stewards and stallholders will politely remind everyone to social distance.
"Similarly the stall holders will be following strict safety guidelines and most will offer contactless payment.
"The market is from 9am-1pm so bring along lots of shopping bags you will need them."
