Bath and Bowood House

I’ve read so much about Bath and the Roman Baths lived up their name. I couldn’t help wishing that Alex and Gete were with us. So much archeology!!! There were heaps of schools kids visiting. A few groups were from European countries. They have dedicated learning centres for them where they can give a real dig a go.

Bath is not a small city. Too many people for us, so we got out quick and landed at Bowood House.

A noble house that has been opened to the public. I wanted to go there because one of the former Earl’s had been a viceroy in Burma and India. And guess what? He was in Bangalore and Mysore. Lots of craft timber pieces on display which are typical Karnataka handiwork.

Beautiful gardens…but we were too pooped to go see everything. We have decided two stops a day is more than enough for us.

Paul is not 100%! I don’t want to catch his bug. Especially just before I visit my cousin Matt in Kent.

We are staying tonight in an Airbnb in Melksham. Host is a retired Mechanical Engineer. Crossed the Avon river to get dinner at a Thai restaurant. I do need variety…

Onto Stonehenge and Salisbury tomorrowRead more
