Bath #3

[debris4spike]

The reason I went to Nick & Brenda's last weekend, other than to see them, was to celebrate my birthday.  Brenda & I always meet up regularily anyway, but always to celebrate our birthdays ... so this is a bit early for me, but it just means I have 10 days of Birthday (hopefully not get 10 years older though.

I hadn't been to Bath for agea, and although Brenda pops into the shops she hadn't actually done any sight-seeing for ages, so a win-win for us both.

Here are a few general pictures around the city








Brenda in front of Jane Austen's house



Sally Lunn's House - set up as a bakery in 1680  and still used for the same purpose (house built in 1482).






The Circus (a circular street of houses)





A Georgian garden in the back of one of the houses



The Crescent -








And there were quite a few street entertainers -

Bath is lovely ... I live in a city that has similar history

So a) I am lucky ... but b) it lovely to explore the city

Lovely! It reminds me that it must be about 10 years since I went on a solo trip to Bath to celebrate my retirement! Perhaps I can persuade S2C to take a trip there with me.

I hadn't been for ages, and it was really lovely to go back for the day ... the Park & Ride was really useful, as well.
