Over the weekend i went on a little trip down to Bath with Davina and Michele who i used to work with. On the way down we stopped at Stonehenge which was breathtaking. That might have been because it was absolutely bloody freezing but was nice to look at as well. We got to Bath and wandered around for a bit. It's a beautiful city with lovely architecture and great character. We strolled around the Roman Baths and then on to the Pump Room which was very grand. Now when i read my hysterical, sorry historical, romances I can picture just what it looks like. The next day we relaxed in the thermae Bath Spas which was bliss, they had a spa, aromatherapy steam rooms and a roof top pool which was a bit chilly to ... read more

A well over-due update! Canada? Nope... Not for now anyway. I'm living in Bath and renting an apartment, to most of you - and to my own surprise - I must admit that I am actually starting to enjoy my time in England for the first time ever!! The way it all happened was quite strange - the Universe was playing at something so I decided to change my plans and take a shot at playing the cards i had just been dealt... Y not?!? A few lovely visits from some great friends and extra time with the family are just what the doctor ordered. I'm making the most of my time here getting to know this country (which embarrassingly I must admit as an english person, it's amazing how little I do know about it ... read more

Hi all, Ok, so the cryptic title all relates to the fact that we are in Bath! He He! Anyway, back to where I was up to. Edinburgh. We left Edinburgh the following day, and caught a train to Newcastle. Doesn't take very long, so not too worried. I had tried to book accommodation there previously, but nothing was very applicable, or was booked out, so we decided to wait and go to the tourist agency when we got there. So we did just that. And it is seriously the hardest tourist agency to find. We got quite lost, and ended up asking about 4 different locals directions, after walking up and down this stupid hill with our packs on. Very annoying. So finally got to the tourist agency, and discovered why we had been having ... read more

that a weekend away in the country makes food taste better and sleep sounder (apologies JA). I promise that will be the only Jane Austen reference - I spent the weekend with some Austen haters so the trip was remarkably Austen free). As you may be able to guess, I spent the recent weekend in Bath. The trip was organised in honour of Hilly’s 30th birthday and 15 of us descended on ‘The Residence’ for the celebrations. We had the entire place to ourselves, which was fabulous. Although the purpose of the weekend was to hang out with the birthday boy, we did manage to check out some of the sights of the city of Bath,: notably the Avon River (which, although spanned by the lovely Pulteney Bridge - which has these cool shops along its ... read more

Gifted with the natural springs, Bath is an ancient city where Roman set their spa in the centre of City for relligous worshipping and bathing. Today, Bath still perserves the original Roman streetscapes and architectures. Roman Bath and Bath Abbey are the places worth visiting. Bath is a small yet unique township I have ever been. In the weekends, you will find the street full of artists performing mimes, music as well as acrobatics. Hawkers are hurling and showcasing their collections. Soaked in this lively and vivid atmoshpere, you will even totally forget who you are and you will definitely find this place lovely. ... read more
