Royal Victoria Park, Bath. This morning first thing I took Maude for a walk and realised that there is still so much colour about apart from the expected autumn tones. We passed one garden that was completely full of dahlias in so many different colours. Later on we walked into town with Mrs Sixwheeler through…
Chimneys. Saw this amazing herd of chimneys grazing the roofs above Cavendish Road in Bath. 26 October 2014
Bath Resident. Regular readers will be aware of my fondness for wandering the streets of the beautiful city of Bath. I particularly enjoy coming across local residents so you can imagine how pleased I was to see this charming young lady who was, I imagine, looking out for a sedan chair. 24 October 2014
Royal Crescent, Bath. Walked Maude into town this morning to do some shopping and for a change we walked round Royal Crescent. Bath is famous for its beautiful Georgian architecture and in particular for its crescents, of these Royal Crescent is way out ahead the most famous to the extent that it’s hard to find…
Cotswold Way. The Cotswold Way is an English long distance path that runs for 102 miles (164 Km) along the escarpment of the Cotswold Hills linking Bath and Chipping Campden. Some people walk it from Bath to have the benefit of a following wind whilst others do it the opposite way so that they finish…
Riverside. Another beautiful day in Bath today, not at all like a mid-October autumn day. Warm, windy and sunny so a good day to be out and about. This is the River Avon riverside in Bath taken from North Parade; behind the trees on the right is the Recreation Ground or The Rec as we…
Bartlett & Sons, Bath I’m very lucky in that pretty much wherever I have lived I’ve been blessed with a good local butcher and here in Bath that is Bartlett and Sons. To a dedicated carnivore like myself this is important. A good butcher stocks good meat from local sources wherever possible, displays it well,…
Duke Street, Bath. I know that I’ve said it before and I will probably say it again but Bath is a beautiful place to live. I had shopping to do today and as it wasn’t raining and the sun peeped out occasionally of course I took a camera. After a stroll along the River Avon…
National Princess Day. Some of you may not be aware that yesterday was National Princess Day and it was celebrated in Bath by a mass assembly of Princesses for a charity attempt on the most princesses in one place at the same time. Sadly the record was not broken but many people turned out, music…
Police Horses. Went into Bath this afternoon and was very pleased to see the Avon and Somerset Police horses. These delightful beasts are always a huge attraction when they are in town, particularly with our overseas visitors and when I went over to say hello I had to negotiate a forest of ‘selfie sticks’. They…
