Nature is all around us. One of our team members spotted this bumble bee buzzing around some beautifully smelling lavender. Has anyone else found themselves noticing nature more during this uncertain time? The Journal team are sending you positivity and look forward to when we come back to share your stories once again.

We are very sad to say that due to the Coronavirus pandemic we have reluctantly decided to suspend publishing the Midsomer Norton & Radstock Journal until further notice.
All advertising and subscriptions currently booked will be placed on hold.
... A big thank you to everyone for your support and kind words and we look forward to publishing again soon when the economic climate improves.
Please look after one another, be kind, and we will see you soon.
