For 2014 I set myself a project to take and publish a photograph every day. Hopefully. Here are the results.
Shortest Day. So today has been the shortest day of the year so from tomorrow we’re practically back to summer . . . . . . I wish. As it was the shortest day Maude and I took only a short walk but amongst the gloom it brightened for a while; this is the view…
It Must Be Nearly Christmas. The last Saturday before Christmas saw us ‘up with the cock’ and on the bus into Bath. First to Green Park Market, our wonderful Farmers Market, for some bread from my favourite baker. Then on for an early Christmas present; Mrs Sixwheeler had booked me into a Gentlemen’s Hairdresser to…
You Have Been Warned. At the far end of Weston there is a bridge taking a stream under the road; these days it is little more than a culvert. The owner of the adjacent property has kept this old sign on the wall beside the bridge and I love it. Today everything is very precise…
More where we walk. Following yesterday’s post here’s another of where we walk, this one is specially for my friend and fellow walker in Australia – yes you Melinda. This one is on the Cotswold Way on the way towards Kelston Tump (see also Day 343) which can be seen on the top of the…
Where we walk. Another photo showing one of the places we walk. This shows the path across the fields at the top of the hill above Weston village. From just beyond the ridge are some of the most amazing views across the whole of the city of Bath. As you can see at this time…
Bath Abbey. This morning was a beautiful, bright and crisp winter’s morning; I happened to be in town and couldn’t resist taking this picture of our beautiful abbey church. We have an abbey and Wells has a cathedral, the diocese is Bath and Wells. As Bath is a small city our abbey sits just right…
Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree. Evergreen conifers to celebrate Christmas have been popular in Germany since the 15th and 16th century; evergreen wreaths and boughs were used by the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews going back to pagan times. In Britain Christmas Trees have been popular since Queen Victoria and Prince Albert married in 1841…
Bath Bun. If ever you visit the city of Bath, and you should, one thing you should try is the world famous Bath Bun. This one was from Sally Lunn’s, one of the oldest eating houses in Bath, where the original Bath Bun was created in Georgian times. I am happy to report that this…
Only 72 More Needed. At the Bath Farmers Market today we were entertained by these four trombonists playing Christmas tunes, we only needed another seventy two for the full set. They certainly livened things up a bit on a very cold morning. Most welcome. 13 December 2014
Birdbath. This is our birdbath at the top of the garden. We have a seed feeder close by and both are always popular. I’m not a bird expert by any stretch of the imagination, just know the common stuff, but here’s a tit having a bath enthusiastically. The other bird is a garden ornament. 12…
