Roman Baths – Bath
What visit to Bath would be complete without visiting the Roman Baths?
Sarracenia and Bee
This evening we watched a bee being eaten by a sarracenia. A sarracenia is a carnivorous plant and one sits on our kitchen table to help keep down the number of flies.
Carnivorous Plant Eating a Bee
Until today we have been wondering how effective the carnivorous plant was at trapping flies. The number of flies has dwindled to almost zero and the plant seems to be thriving, if growth is any indicator.
St Michaels – Bath
St Michaels has clearly moved with the times. Inside the walls are crisp, clean, and the upper level is a delight. The walkway from staircase to the church offices is a delightful mixture of wooden railings with a glass floor.
Bath – Guildhall Market
We visited Bath’s Guildhall Market. The market building contains an 18th Century pillar where trades were agreed.
Bath - Thermal Spa
Opportunities to sink into a thermal bath do not come along often. At least not in our world. When we booked our trip to Bath, we both knew that a trip to the thermal spa was a must.
Bath
Bath is an historically wealthy city in the United Kingdom. The thermal springs below ensured the city’s notability and prosperity over time. That in turn has led an assortment of grandiose architecture and adorned vistas.
Filming La Fête nationale
On reviewing the short film of Lyon’s La Fête nationale firework show this morning, I felt it not too bad a sample of the evening. Short, snappy, and a taster of the event.
La Fête nationale in Lyon
This was our third year celebrating the day in Lyon. We knew were to go and where to expect crowds. The best view of the fireworks is along the east shore of river Saône.
Bath – Little Details
We visited Bath a few days before Christmas and saw the town during the shortest days of the year.
