Eternal Refuge

Washroom: showers or baths? bubbles? bath bombs?

I used to love a soak in a bubble bath ... complete with a book to read. However the bath at my house is a bit short to stretch out as it's a small room. However, last year I joined a gym that has a jacuzzi ... so, I have a nice soak there every time I go.

I do like a quick shower ... not ages like some

Last Thursday I went with my friend from Church to Bath.  Christine caught the train from her home and I joined it at Exeter - a direct route ... great.  Sadly the weather wasn't very kind, so we didn't stay as long as we had planned, and we didn't see as much as we had hoped - but it was still a great day out.

Bath was settled by the Romans in AD 60, although there are several Neolithic Barrows in the area. It is said to be a major battle site in the time of King Alfred c.500AD, and a monastery was founded here in 675AD. However by the 15th Century it had become slightly dilapidated, and was later revived as a Spa Town in Georgian times ... which is where most of the present architecture has come from. Christine lived here for 3 years when she was doing teaching practice, and pointed out where the shops had been renovated recently ... however they were done sympathetically, so hard to see the old from the new.
