Bath-tastic

The weather is reasonable, it's a bank holiday weekend, so off we pop to Bath...



We visit the Jane Austen centre first, and hear
a talk about her life. It's uncanny how much
seems to parallel her novels.


I snap some tourists before they snap me.
So I win.


Tea anyone? Mmm what's that on the left?


Bath bun in Bath!
I'm already happy


If you like experimenting, why not buy-curiousity cola?


I attempt a pout.
I forget why.


Someone's happy.


Looks like an episode of Doctor Who


A lovely young lady dressed according
to the fashion and manner of her time

...and a Jane Austen statue thing



Tower!


Boots! Crazy boots. Oh how tempting...



Nice pose, but why does a three-fingered claw
seem to be about to pluck off my jacket?


Shiny blue pig!
Do you think they'd miss this?


This is what I remember from a visit many years ago.


I want to take you to a FUbar :)


Chandeliers always remind me of Only Fools and Horses


I take my bow and leave before it becomes just too much




Bath chair in Bath.
Pretending I'm eating a bath bun in it
Please :)


Re-make of Manos, Hands Of Fate?


Cat auditions for the Queen of Hearts


Kristina causes something of a stir in this corset




Great coats, I'm sure you'll agree.
The fashion museum part was really excellent,
though not that much for the gentleman.


Cat designs a little number...


...as does Kristina

I quite liked the space-alien-robot
one, but forgot to snap it.


Yes it's another crazy pig statue.


A fine view of The Crescent


Time to go home, but not for us in this fashion.


Fabulous image of The Circus
I've still got it.


So it's goodbye from us...


And it's goodbye from them :)
