The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

This was for my little nephew's first birthday. He loves his baths. His favourite bath toys are around the bottom tier, along with the blue ball toy in the water. Bottom tier was chocolate cake (layered with chocolate buttercream and ganache), and top tier lemon (layered with lemon curd and lemon buttercream).
Inspired by some of Andrea Sullivan (of Andrea's Sweetcakes) fantastic bath cakes, and recreated with her very kind permission.
My cat loves water so much like all other Van Turkish Cats! so every time I get ready to shower or take a bath I keep my eyes on her or she would jump in the tub and sit there in the water with a purrrrr sound!

Bath Time. The local wildlife seem to appreciate the shallow water dish out on the patio, for drinking and bathing. Mostly the Sparrows, but also Starlings, Magpies and as here, a Robin. The local cats and Foxes also visit for drinks.

70805 passes through Bath Spa station with 1648 Westbury to Ashton Junction engineers on 18th February 2017.
Bath Spa station will be partially closed at Easter (8th - 23rd April 2017), whilst works are carried out to widen, lengthen and straighten the platforms, in preparation for new longer trains that are entering service later in 2017, according to GWR's website.
The roof canopy is a listed structure, so can't be altered, and the platforms won't be much wider according to the plans.
Works will also include removing cast iron railings and fitting barriers to the platform ends.
Full plans can be seen on BANES website....
