Costumes in Bath
This is the result of the corset putting on. Took 15 minutes.
This is one of hte old dresses. they actually wore them like it is displayed. I can imagine that if it was functional it would be good. e.g. when y
ou stand still, the frame would rest and you could put drinks on it. Would be great at cocktail parties to hold all your food. If you can get to the food table in the first place
Bath
Bath is a very pretty place, UNESCO listed city. This is the Abbey - went there on Easter Sunday and the sermon was really
good.
Bridge over the Avon river. Avon means river in Celtic. So, when the Romans asked the locals what that river was called, the locals said "Avon". Like asking someone what that is, and they tell you the obvious - only thing is that y
ou don't realise they are telling you the obvious
The Roman Baths at Bath were quite nice. the water's green because of the sunlight. It was still warm though.
Tina also went to the Costume museum and we spent ages getting her into a corset.
Bristol
Popped off to see Bristol which is near Bath. Tina's parents used to live here briefly.
Didn't see any evidence of their stay 30+ years ago.
Very industrial, still functioning harbour. Can't beat Sydney harbour though.
Crescents of Bath
Of course Bath is famous for the buildings - crescents. Lots of them. Very nice. Only a million pounds or so for one of them.
Also, they still have old hanging loos (see the black box hanging off the side of the house).
These were put in when they started getting flushing toilets. Apparently most houses have flushing loos now.
This is near the Roy
al Crescent.
Priory Park Gardens, Bath
These gardens were near Bath and very pretty. It's nice to get out and see some nature for a change, even though the nature had manicured lawns. (There were a few cows around too
)
Royal Yacht Brittania
We visited the Ro
yal Yacht Brittania at Leith (very close to Edinburgh).
Here is the royal bedroom. Not very impressive. Unfortunately it reminded me of a 80s motel room. I guess if the queen updated her furnishings in all her places, she would get blasted for being extravagent.
This is Prince Phillip's bedroom.
The official places where visitors would come look a lot nicer, such as the dining room and the drawing rooms. But still, somewhat tacky and old.
We all have different tastes though. And if someone offered me a Royal Yacht to live in, I probably wouldn't turn it down.
We were lucky enough to visit Edinburgh for Dorcas and Angelo's wedding, which meant we also hung out a bit with family ... including Maya (the bee), Kiri, Peter and their parents. Nice to see some family and
