Today (May 11) is Somerset Day and although it's not the time for events or gatherings, the Cheddar-based chairman of the county council is urging people to still celebrate Somerset together virtually.
Somerset County Council will be joining the festivities online and asking people to tell them why they love Somerset using the #SomersetDay and #SomersetProud hashtags on Twitter or Instagram.
Somerset's chairman, Cheddar county councillor Nigel Taylor, said: "Somerset Day is a great idea and it's become a real tradition to celebrate our amazing county.
"This year, more than ever, it's an opportunity to pay tribute to our people, our towns and businesses who are still there, stepping up, doing great things and in need of our support.
"Let's celebrate as many of them as we can on Somerset Day, along with our beautiful countryside – let's share the positive stories until we can meet up once again."
The council want people to tell them what they miss most about our amazing county and what they'll be doing as soon as lockdown is lifted.
It could be visiting a shop, scene, person, place, sound, taste, walk – or your favourite place to watch the sunset.
Make a pledge to visit your favourite place as soon as the restrictions are lifted. If you're on Twitter tag @SomersetCouncil in too and they will share as many as they can.
And for the children, the council want to get a dragon alongside a rainbow in everyone's windows.
They're asking children to draw a dragon or colour in our very own Sparky the dragon and put them in your window.
You can download Sparky from this page.
