The Last Gasholder. This is a picture taken from Royal Victoria Park in Bath looking across towards Whiteway, in between the gloriously autumn coloured trees you can see two cranes and a steel structure. The structure is the last gasholder in Bath and the cranes are in the process of demolishing it. Gasholders are a…
Grrrrr, squirrel! I may have mentioned before that Maude, our fearless Border Terrier, is passionate in her hatred of squirrels; when we met this one in Royal Victoria Park she went ballistic. There was barking, there was fearsome growling, chase was given until it disappeared round the back of a tree …… and vanished. She…
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…
Watchman’s Sentry Box. We decided to walk into Bath today and after cutting through Royal Victoria Park I noticed a little alley I hadn’t seen before. In front of us I could see a grassy area and it turned out to be a delightful little park in front of Norfolk Crescent with grass and trees.…

This is NOT the Bath moon rocket, it is the memorial put up by “The Inhabitants and Visitors of Bath to the PRINCESS VICTORIA on the attainment of her majority. 24 May 1837.” It stands in the entrance to Royal Victoria Park. Obviously. 26 March 2014
Maude and I were enjoying a delightful walk in Royal Victoria Park today. It was dry, warm and the sun was shining. But we had a sinister feeling that someone was watching us. 25 February 2014
Wow! Day 40 of this project, I have to say that I didn’t really think that it would get this far so well done me. I do look forward to the weather improving so that I can get a bit further afield and take some more interesting pictures. Today has mostly been rain but with…
