Weekend in Bath

We've had a weekend away from home, staying with a friend who lives in Bath. It is such a lovely city, we lived nearby for more than half a century and I miss it. It was calm, misty weather and we walked into town through the park where drifts of newly fallen and brightly coloured beech leaves were crisp underfoot.

The door to the Georgian garden was open so I took a look inside. It is rather a forlorn looking sight at the moment, not very impressive for a city that is labeled a winner of Britain in Bloom! It won't take much work to tidy it up. I shall expect better things by next spring!

Himself has work in the current exhibition at the Victoria Gallery so we went along to see how it was placed,

It's the annual open exhibition and I thought it very well hung, it is no easy matter to display a very mixed selection of work and have it look cohesive.

Bath is a great place for shopping. Unfortunately (or possibly not!) as we walked through town on Sunday morning one of my favourite shops was closed. All I could do was look at their window display and covet the net skirt!

We met up for a lively Sunday lunch with the book group. We have been members for about forty years. What a rowdy bunch - good company, good food and talk, it's always a lot of fun.
