a Sunday morning
before the crowds arrive...
what to do?
around Queen Square
and up George Street
down Milsom Street
and along Quiet Street
to drink coffee in a bookshop
around the Circus,
along the Royal Crescent
and back past the Assembly Rooms
down Walcot Street to the Bell
to listen to Phil King
down to the Sydney Gardens
to explore the Holburne museum
and admire the netsuke
and then across Pulteney bridge
to the London Road...
and all day long
the sun shone
in a cobalt sky

And, it would seem, that you were the only two people in all of Bath...or maybe it just felt that way.
ReplyDeleteExquisite photos of a beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteWhat a place.
ReplyDeletevery Jane Austen...it looks wonderful, keep enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteWhat glorious photos and how exciting to hear there are netsuke in the Holburne Museum. I am mildly obsessed with them since reading The Hare With Amber Eyes.
ReplyDeletegreat buildings but a lot more fun with the right person
ReplyDeletePS the Bell always appeals to my more raffish alter ego which does not normally get much of a opportunity to disport itself
ReplyDeleteAww, MrM, what a a lovely sentiment.
ReplyDeleteMrs M, beautiful pictures and thank you for the link to Phil King, he has a lovely voice. So good to see Bath again.
