Through the beautiful city of Bath the River Avon wistfully wending its weary way westward . . . . . Oops, dangerous outbreak of Purple Prose reported by Bath blogger. 14 April 2014

365 Project – Day 103

One of our favourite walks is from the village straight up the hill to Beckford’s Tower. This is a familiar landmark at Lansdown on the northern side of Bath. Anyone who has used the Lansdown Park and Ride will know it. Built in 1827 by William Beckford it stands 120 feet high above the redundant…

365 Project – Day 102

This is the centrepiece from the Roman portico that stood above the entrance to the hot baths during the time of the Roman Occupation. The queues outside the Bath Spa have nothing as good as this to look at whilst they are waiting to get in. I think it’s utterly beautiful. 12 April 2014

365 Project – Day 100

“Cast not a clout ’til May is out.” Old English country saying meaning keep a warm coat on until the bush May is in blossom, not until the end of the month of May as some people think. Oh goodness, the hundredth photo of the year. Who’d of thought it. 10 April 2014

365 Project – Day 99

This is an area of pinewoods on the sandstone ridge near Woburn; I think it’s actually called Apsley Wood but not to us. We’ve walked there with three different dogs for a…

And here we have “Cleavers”. Beloved of children of all ages; pull a bit off and it sticks to clothes, anyone’s clothes, best on the back. Hated by farmers who have to try to get the seeds out of their grain sample. Cleavers. 7 April 2014

365 Project – Day 96

This afternoon I went to The Rec where Bath Rugby were playing Brive in the Amlin Cup quarter final. Here are Bath in their pre-match huddle. It was a great game, in daylight and with almost no rain. Bath won 39-7 and Gavin Henson was Man-of-the-Match. Excellent afternoon. 6 April 2014

365 Project – Day 95

Regular readers will know that on Saturday mornings we go to the Bath Farmers Market. This is an excellent institution and an reliable source of tasty food and ingredients. Sometimes there is entertainment too, we have even been known to have Morris Dancers (hoorah!) but today we had the local ukulele group. They are enthusiastic…
