Bath-time

---

My visit to United Queendom coincided with that of my old Uni friends Peter and Louisa, and two of their fine lads. I joined them in London to hire a car to see some of South-West England, armed with a booking at the grand old Youth Hostel in Bath. The buildings and streetscape of central Bath were classic. The bath-house itself is a worthy monument with ancient and modern elements, and Bath Abbey is perfection in stone (if a bit cluttered inside with side-chapels and sundry monuments). Pulteney Bridge over the Avon is distinguished by having shops on its length. Peter and I stole away one night to enjoy a carol service and a curry, which was amazingly nice.
