Escape!

My ability to escape the routine has escalated to herein unknown levels. Once again I buggered off this weekend to lark about. I chose to take me and my bestie to a city neither of us had been to before. Bath. Well worth the visit, in case you too have never been before. We could have spent much more time there as there was so much to see and do. In our short stay we managed to see the Roman Baths. Excellent place. It exceeded expectations.

And I took a selfie that I wasn't totally ashamed whilst there too!


The evening was spent dining out. There was a restaurant recommended to us by Amanda but they didn't have a table available. Instead we went to Loch Fyne, the seafood restaurant, and it was so very good.


This morning we took a little stroll around Bath before departing and made sure we took in the sight of it's most famous Crescent. The sun shone done, the daffodils were gloriously in blossom and the day could not have been better.


Upon departing Bath we took a indirect route home via Cheltenham and Burford. And now we continue our culinary feast here as I picked up some bacon ribs for our dinner. Seriously, if I'm not sewing I'm eating. Nothing to complain about here. Hope the sun was shining on you today too.

    Don't be silly, you can't possibly have gone to Loch Fyne, or you'd have passed me and Fiona on the way ;o) Looks like loads of fun, and jealous of your non rain-soaked weather...

    Bath is great - I remember way back in 1989 there was a great cafe called the yellow canary . First time I had carrot cake , it seemed so sophisticated!

    Your post came at an opportune time as our oldest son travels between Vancouver and London, England for work and one of his meetings was in Bath but without any time to explore . He's visiting us for the weekend so I showed him the pictures you posted and he said he knew there is lots to see and will try to extend his stay next time to see the sights.
