The Frome Carnival Royalty visited recently! They spent time walking through our home, chatting with family members and noticing the Christmas decorations. A few photos were taken on request, and one of the younger members even played a short tune on the piano.

The visit also sparked some memories of past carnivals, including plans to share an old poster from home.

It was a relaxed and friendly visit, and we were pleased to welcome them 🥰
