Thursday 30 July - Saturday 1 August 2015

Rudely awoken by the seagulls each morning at about 6am – it sounds like you have loads of people on the roof of the boat laughing at you.  I can think of nicer sounds to wake up to!

We’ve had a great few days in Bath, we did the City bus tour, saw the Abbey and the Roman Baths.
Claire arrived on Friday and Saturday evening an Australian couple (Richard and Louise) that Rob had met at the Caen flight came over for supper – as we have a bit more table room Rob did the cooking and we provided the dining table.  Richard and Louise have taken a few months out to travel Europe.  Louise plays the violin – extremely well and after dinner and a few glasses of wine she treated us to a few renditions – amazing!

Standing still - a chance to get some touching up done!
 
Off for a ride on the City Tour Bus - one of these houses is where Jane Austin wrote some of her work.
 
The curved bays on the backs of some of the Crescent

and from the front

Victoria Gardens

The black box on the back of this house is listed - it's the loo!
 
Steve did the curtains in this house a few years ago!

The Hilton where we came to Pete's Ladies Night a few years ago!

Bath Abbey

Fabulous stained glass windows - I have to tell you a funny story, as we entered the Abbey Claire went to put her contribution in the attendant's coffee cup rather than the box - well it made us laugh!!

Around the top of the choir stand

Impressive.

Oh dear - not a great look Steve, even if you are only trying to rescue a few things from the sudden downpour of rain!

Richard giving us a warm up for the main event

Louise - a true professional.
Smile!

She plays for an orchestra and teaches
 

Time to go - enjoy the rest of your travels.
