This and That – Bath, Jane Austin, and the Royal Crescent.

Good evening from London!

Our day in Bath was over-the-top amazing. It was like walking back in time: the ancient Roman baths, Jane Austin’s house, the Royal Crescent, and the jewel in the crown, Bath Abbey.

I sat in awe, looking at the stained glass, centuries old, as were the soaring columns supporting the ribbed ceilings. There was an organ concert too. When that old organ cranked up, you could feel the ancient stone and marble floor vibrate.

I also got an English wish…it poured rain. We were sitting on a bench, looking at the Royal Crescent. Like others doing the same, we dove into our tote bags, opening our Highclere umbrellas. The cool rain dropped the temperature somewhat, but it also stirred the sweet smells of flowers and the loamy smell of the English soil.

I’m ready to move to Bath. Who wants to go with me?

Big hug!

(P.S. – Someone also got a little trinket from Goldsmith’s. Was it you?)
