Day Trip To Bath 2

[debris4spike]

Yes, a great day to Bath.  I had been about 10 years ago when I was collecting my certificate from The Royal Photographic Society .... but again, had little time to see much then.  And, here is the proof we both went -

I don't know if I will get used to seeing me in glasses, after 36 years ... at present wearing lenses hurts -

Christine outside the Jane Austen experience (which we didn't go into!)




Bath Abbey is beautiful ... and when I went last time Mum & Dad asked what I thought about "Jacob's ladder" ... I didn't notice it ... this time I did!

See, I said it rained-

Jacob's Ladder - after a passage in Genesis of Joseph having a dream of angels descending and ascending between earth and Heaven

And what a stunning door!















Sally Lunn's house - the oldest in Bath

In the basement-







Some of the many works of art we saw -




The Assembly Rooms


The Baths



The Pump Room - there was a quartet playing music


Overall there are more here if you are bored!

I plan to go to Bath for a visit once I retire - I've always wanted to go, but never have.

What an beautiful abbey. Although I rather think they are wrong about Edgar - I was taught Aethelstan was the first king of all the English - and when I saw Michael Woods series of King Alfred and the Anglo-Saxons he said the same thing!

It is a great city, what I saw through the rain. I shall go again!

I didn't do much early history .... just Alfred burning the cakes, and setting up his 3 X 8hours sections of a day .... then we jumped to King Harold in 1066

Very nice photos; however, angel statues creep me out!

LOL - those Angels are famous .... and are stationary as so many people are looking at them all the time!

Don't blink !!!
