Olympic Flame Reaches Somerset

5.45am misty morning but the small Somerset town of  Ilminster is already buzzing,  an air of expectancy as the butcher orders extra guinea fowl, bunting is draped  and the town prepares for the 2012 Torch Relay…the closest its ever been before was thru Chard in 1948… the five torch bearers are women of all ages from all walks of life, luckily they let me onto the bus to capture these shots for the First Women Project.
