Fog crept over much of Somerset this week, while volunteers were out collecting Christmas trees for charity.

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp also made a visit to the county, to help a football team that's been having a hard time.

There was also the thunder of hooves as racing fans headed to Wincanton.

Top level help: Former Tottenham and West Ham manager Harry Redknapp paid a visit to Tunley Athletic FC as part of a promotion by opticians Specsavers. The football club was crowned the "Best Worst Team" after a season that saw them lose all 26 of their games and finish with an astonishing goal difference of -137. Redknapp gave them some tips and motivation. Let's see if it works!

Not going to waste: Bruton Tree Care volunteers in Shepton Mallet added some brightness to the sad task of disposing of Christmas trees. They were part of a team of people helping to raise £32,000 for St Margaret Hospice's, by collecting trees and chopping them up.
