Bath is most commonly known as the site of the 2000 year old Roman baths. There are also shops. More than we get in Oxford. So for Kate’s 28th birthday we headed to Bath for shops, food and of course a bath! The thermal springs are tapped and fed into several baths for your pleasure. My favourite was a roof-top “bath” which had views over Bath the town and the surrounding countryside. It was a lovely place to sit back and relax in your toga. Well, I didn’t have a toga, I would have worn one if I did have one though. BTW bathing suits are mandatory, so no sitting around in your birthday suit, even if it is your birthday!
Kate also found a shop called “Long Tall Sally”. Funnily enough, many of the clothes in this shop fitted her. And so she shopped… and shopped… and shopped! That’s what your birthday is about though isn’t it? Doing what ever you feel like…
Bath is lovely. I think we’ll head back, for the baths if nothing else!
