An unexpected Pride encounter in Frome

Saturday morning and nothing planned for the day. Raining but promise of sunshine later on so once again I followed my instinct and decided to go to Frome.  In a way you are walking towards nothing but I know myself well enough to know that things will feel in a magical way.
