Bath


Is it possible to see Bath in 3.5 hours? pfff. Foolish question. Of course it isn't. What is this? 20 ridiculous questions? Oh, I see. Yes, I just asked that a moment ago. This was the "see Stonehenge and Bath in one day" tour. All right, I suppose it is a good start; a taster. What can I say. 3.5 hours is not really enough time. I tore myself away from the Roman Baths (I was still enjoying the same bizarrely non-English weather), and decided I had time for tea and a little wandering. So, I had tea at the Jane Austen Centre (does this really surprise anyone?), and wandered about town, taking another scad of pictures. And having pictures taken of me posing in front of the main bath, and returning the favour.

Oooh. I just realized. My spelling of "favour" was not rejected. I must be using the Brit spellchecker, eh? Let's see: labour, travelling, aluminium; all good. Hah. Lovely. Although I will say that now I am in "re-edit" mode, those other perfectly good spellings are being rejected. C'est la vie.

Right. Tea, Roman Baths, wandering. Not enough time. Still, it was just supposed to be a nice outing for the day, and most assuredly it was. Perfectly lovely. My camera got quite a work-out today. There were too many lovely pictures to choose from; I'm not going to post everything here. But, oh! the sky was so lovely. The Abbey was glowing in the sunshine, and the stones of the Baths shone in the completely proper buttery yellow approved manner.

And the tea? Mmm. Scones with jam and clotted cream. I'll have another, please...
