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.

Exploring Home

It was the week before Christmas. Before visiting family for the traditional family celebrations, we took our chance to explore a little more of the United Kingdom.

Quietly Waiting

In France we struggle to find a balance between knowing what to wait for and what to tenaciously hound along. Knowing the difference is key and we rarely know for sure.

Wild Flowers in the Park

Near the bee hotel in Lyon’s parc de la tête d’or is a small section set aside for wild flowers.
