Golly gosh! How long has it been since I blogged last?!!!
Apart from having a few problems gaining access, only one or two things have happened that might be of interest...but mainly the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, in September.
 |
| Robert, two ladies, and Paul Connell |
Each year seems to just get better and better as we make more friends and get to know more people.
 |
| Kelly and Ian Charleswoth, and myself |
 |
| Martin Salter from the Jane Austen Center |
 |
| Tiny Castle of the 33rd Cornwall Regiment |
 |
| Scott, Aurora, Jo, Robert, and Rhiannon |
The only thing that did slightly spoil things this year was the weather, as it was quite a bit cooler, and we had some light showers, so there were as many umbrellas in evidence as there were parasols!
On the Tuesday, following the Promenade, Robert and I headed back to Bath to meet up with friends for a picnic in front of Royal Crescent...where Eileen joined us for a short while during her lunch break.
Later on, Aurora and Justin joined us. It was time to pack up when the first spots of rain began to fall, so we took the stuff back to the cars then headed up to the Fashion Museum...
I wasn't too impressed by the way they displayed all the beautiful historical garments, calling this section 'Behind The Scenes'...they were all crammed into small, ill-lit alcoves so you couldn't see the items at the back.
Before we left we had a quick wander around the Assembley Rooms...
When we left the Assembley Rooms it was raining. Aurora and Justin left us at this point, and we headed back to the cars and proceeded to follow Scott and Jo back to their campsite, at Stowford Manor Farm, for afternoon tea.
The traffic was quite bad, and we ended up losing sight of them, but we knew where we were going as we'd passed the farm and campsite on several occasions previously. By now the rain was quite heavy...
We arrived at the campsite to find that Scott and Jo hadn't...they must have taken a different route.
What a lovely place!
So quaint, and we did enjoy our cream teas, which is why there were no photos...we were too busy!
So there you have it...a (not so) quick update.
Nothing much else to report, I'm afraid...oh, my mistake...we did go to the Christmas Market in Lincoln, meeting up with Scott and Jo and some of their Steampunk friends!
