Yesterday we spent the day in Bath.John and Jenny drove us to the train station in Taunton .We took the train to Bath via Bristol temple mead.I had wonderful memories of Bath from the past.It is for me the most beautiful city especially the areas around the Bath abbey and the roman bath.I booked a ticket for Annie to get into the bath while I sat in the sun reading on the bench outside the abbey enjoying the sun,the crowd ,the pigeons and beautiful classics both opera and musicals sung by a lady.It was frightening in it's beauty with the ability to transport you to another place altogether,I could have wept but I found myself clamping down.I travelled to the Doone Valley with Lorna Doone vicariously though.
Annie enjoyed Bath ,she took a lot of photographs,bought souveneirs in the abbey and just enjoyed the architecture of angels ascending and descending ,the stained glass windows and the amazing ceiling and then we walked the town of Bath popping in and out of shopping centres,visited the museum of medicine,walked to river Avon,watched the barge swaying down the river ,crossed the bridge which brought back memories of five years ago when I had walked the bridge to get to town from the place where I was staying in the hills.Got a glimpse of the little theatre as well.Caught a quick lunch of cornwall pastries and wedges with hot chocolate and latte.
We left Bath late in the afternoon ,was supposed to give John a ring to pick us up from the station but our phones let us down so we took the 17.45 to Hillcommon and walked to old rectory.
I had a splitting headache.We barely managed to make a cup of tea and gobble down slices of cake,I needed to rest which I did.At nine Annie woke me up and offered to make dinner which she did ably ,roast beef cutlets and bread.I woke up ,ate it and then went into another slumber.
I woke up at five in the morning today and dillydallied till seven and sauntered out in search of the Hillfarance church which was supposed to be having a communion day today celebrating the trinity.
This afternoon.John and jenny have offered to take us for a drive up the hill and sightseeing locally,and I hope to make it for the evensong in the evening at 6.30 PM at the Oake church.
Tomorrow we head for London and then Edinburgh.
