hello from the beautiful city of bath!

a quick catch up on the last couple of days - mostly in photo form (again) :)

we had a lovely last morning in stratford-upon-avon. we visited the beautiful churchyard of the holy trinity church



saj and giselle enjoying the tranquility of the church yard while looking out over the avon


this may or may not have been shakespeare's grave...

then it was time for a last stroll through the rsc gardens...


a farewell kiss for mr tennant...


and we drove to bath - we took a stroll around in the evening light and it was really beautiful




today we have been wandering happily around bath -

i really love this city. it's so old and so majestic, and it's easy to imagine yourself right into a jane austen novel here. am very tired now, though, so i won't ramble any more. big kisses to you all xoxoxoxox

I have SO enjoyed your trip! I feel like I get all the best parts without the tiring stuff, lol. Thanks so much for sharing this great journey with me, and everyone else. The dress bodice there is amazing! And lets think about how much funky sex went down at the baths when people weren't paying attention, or when they were ^.^

I was just there! (In Bath, that is). Okay, so it was like two months ago now, but it feels like I was just there.

Also, my mom is making snide remarks because you guys take nice photos and she doesn't approve of my "tourist photos." If making dumbass faces at the camera and posing like a monkey on speed is wrong, then I don't want to be right!

Hello my darlings! I got your postcard today, Essie! Thank you! :D

Did you know I have performed at Bath Abbey? On a school music tour. It was beautiful. Before one rehearsal, I remember playing some of the Bach cello suits in one of the lower rooms and the sound just echoing through the space - it was incredible. It felt like playing the music in the place it was meant to be played in, ie. as Bach originally intended it. It was very memorable.

But the whole place is just gorgeous - as your photos show. It looks like you're having a wonderful time! :D

WOW!!!

Who needs to buy books to read a well-written adventure, travel and nature journal?
It's all here.

I'm glad you are having the most amazing time.

Love you both xoxoxoxox

Your photos are amazing, Es. And I'm so in awe of your ability to take time out from your wonderful holiday to sit in front of a laptop and blog this all back to us! (Although I presume it's more for your benefit than it is actually ours...:P)

I am completely taking my laptop along with me next time I'm on an O/S trip - it would be soooooooooooooo much easier to blog adventures and manage pics with your own around.
