I love Bath!!!

That’s Bath the city … in the UK!!! Not necessarily the bath TUB … although I must admit I don’t mind a nice luxurious soak from time to time too :o). I think Bath must be one of the prettiest towns … we really enjoyed it :o).

We’re back in the UK after an idyllic week in South of France … oh how beautiful it is there!!! We’ve just spent the weekend in Surrey with Luke and Tahlia then we hired a car and went to Bath, where I finally got to meet Maria and Trash and we had an absolutely FABULOUS day together – Darryl, Jess and I had our very own tour guides too ;o)!! Week 3 109 We saw the wonderful historical sites … and of course, the favourite shops too!!! Got me some delish Cath Kidston goodies as you’ll see if you visit either Trash or Maria’s blogs lol, and Maria also showed me where to find her local patchwork store which sadly was closed cos it was Sunday, but - I did manage to get back there on Monday and buy me some Tilda goodies – among other things :o). Here’s a piccy of the store … “Country Threads”, I had a lovely time browsing/shopping in there :o)!!Week 3 119 Did you notice the people there on the right of the piccie??That’s Maria and Trash pressing their noses against the window of a shop they hadn’t noticed before … Week 3 121 a new wool store :o)!!!! There were even a couple of lolly (candy/sweety) stores to be found too, yummm!!! Thanks so much Maria and Trash for such a fabulous day!!! I felt like I had known these two gawjus ladies forever and the time we had together ended much too soon ;o).

After a super time in Bath we drove on to the town where I was born. It was a weird feeling being there again after more than 30 years!!

We’re up in the Lake District now …. visiting Beatrix Potter’s ‘Hill Top’ cottage is high on the agenda ;o)!!! I’ll be back when I can, til then …….
