Monday 4 June 2018 and we actually managed to be packed and ready to go on time, this is unusual. Quite a nice day for a gentle drive down to the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone, in fact we got there in such good time we were able to catch a Shuttle an hour ahead of…
We begin our journey home. Collected from The Tigress Hotel at 06h15 we bumped our way down the dirt track for the last time, at least this time in a car with working lights so we could see the potholes. We have a short drive from Ranthambore to the railway station at Sawai Madhopur where…
In the beautiful city of Bath we are lucky enough to have two specialist cheesemongers, which is very nice if you happen to like cheese. Which I do. I was going into Bath for the rugby and Mrs Sixwheeler wanted shops so we went into town together and to Bath Abbey where The Fine Cheese…
The first autumn that we lived in Bath we thought that we would go and see the autumn foliage at the nearby Westonbirt Arboretum, but by the time we got round to it all the leaves were on the ground. The same thing happened last year. On the basis of ‘third time lucky’ we decided…
Following rain and cold during the week, the sun was shining this morning so Mrs Sixwheeler and I went into Bath for a spot of shopping. We started with coffee as in “I’ll buy you a coffee” said Mrs S but follows it up with “… but you’ll have to pay for it as I’ve…
There had been some confusion; our flight out of Kochi was to be at 09h40 and we had been told that we would be collected at 00h30. By my calculation that would leave us sitting at the airport for seven hours and that wasn’t about to happen. Then I was told that the flight was…
Regular readers of The Sixwheeler Chronicles will know that I have a dog. She’s called Maude and this is her. She’s a Border Terrier and like all BTs she’s very very very boisterous, also very happy and eternally optimistic. They’re fun dogs. We live in the beautiful city of Bath and it’s great as lots…
Over the last forty eight hours we have experienced wind, rain, sleet, frost and snow here in Bath and we are promised “Snowmaggeddon” on Sunday. But the mornings get lighter earlier and the sun sets later each week and there are the beginnings of Spring showing in our parks and gardens. Bring it on I…
Bark. Absolutely beautiful day for Christmas Eve here in Bath today. As tomorrow is going to be HECTIC we went for a nice long walk today. I saw the sunlight shining through this peeling bark and thought it would make a good picture. I don’t know what the tree is, maybe some form of eucalyptus,…
Ouch! When I was small and lived in a big old farmhouse I enjoyed sliding down the banisters; I also did this enthusiastically when I was at boarding school. You are not encouraged to do it in Bath where they set traps for you at the bottom. 23 December 2014
