- Published
Autumn has truly settled across the county, as trees were captured in all their colours.
Meanwhile, BBC Radio Somerset excelled in this year's Children In Need challenge, and a wildlife rescue centre has saved several hedgehogs.
Find this and more in our weekly picture roundup.

Pudsey and presenters: BBC Radio Somerset joined BBC radio stations across the country walking 1,000 miles (1,609 km) for BBC Children in Need - three-legged.
Mel and Simon from BBC Radio Somerset contributed more than 36 miles (57.9 km) between them.

Remember: A giant poppy has been restored and put back on the front of a building in Taunton in time for Remembrance Day.
It was transported to the HMS Sultan naval base down in Gosport, Hampshire, where Royal Navy students worked with materials to restore the petals and salvage the original centre.

Hospital Halloween: Staff at the Royal United Hospitals in Bath conjured up a frightful Halloween display to celebrate National Casting Day on Thursday.
The annual initiative shines a spotlight on the skills and services provided by those who work in fracture clinics and cast rooms.

Spiky creatures: Staff at Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre near Highbridge in Somerset are currently housing about 50 hedgehogs and have calls everyday about animals.
The centre also rescued two baby mice this week, who were found alone outside a barn.

Autumnal views: A view over autumnal trees and Glastonbury Tor was captured this week.

Digital health: Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has joined an international study that's testing whether patients with a mild cognitive impairment can improve their cognitive function by using a digital health app.
Patients will answer questionnaires relating to their behaviour, how their cognition impacts their quality of life, and their knowledge of Alzheimer's.
