Bath in November I

       To celebrate a significant birthday we have been to Bath for a few days, and it has been a lovely treat.  I feel revived.  We arrived Saturday lunchtime and stayed in the same hotel - The Kennard in Bathwick - as we did on our previous visit.  That evening with the fireworks thundering over our heads we ate at Cote Brasserie.  It was a pleasant surprise. Boeuf Bourguignon, Crème Brûlée, and a decent glass of Malbec.

     Sunday morning, our first full day, and, for what must have been a good two hours, the city air was filled with the joyous sound of church bells - Bath Abbey, St Mary Bathwick and St John the Divine, I believe.  How I have missed that sound in these past few years.  For the first time in far too long I went to church, to St Mary Bathwick - my sort of place, and I took Holy Communion.  I think it maybe the first church I have worshipped in with galleries.  Sunday lunch at The Architect, part of the Imperial Hotel.  In the afternoon a walk up to the Georgian Garden behind the Circus.
