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…
Saint Michael’s Church, Weston. Wherever I go I like to visit local churches, specially if they are interesting or beautiful. I’m a Godless Heathen so I don’t go to worship but because I find them spiritual places, often with peace and quiet. If I’m lucky enough to hear a choir singing or an organ playing…
Kelston Tump. Suddenly I find that I only have twenty three more days of this project to run. Something that had started out as a burden, turned into an exciting challenge and is now nearly over. I shall miss it but am already thinking about other projects for next year. One thing I will be…
