Arrived at Bath Green Park. The old Midland Railway station is now used partly for car parking and partly for market stalls and there is a Bistro Restaurant in the old booking hall.
Bath, England. Breathtaking examples of fashion from the eighteenth century. I live and breathe for this style of fashion...I was born in the wrong century...maybe this style of dress will become fashionable again...would anyone else love to wear these glorious gowns besides me?
THE DAY WE FOUND OUT ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER BREAKING HER ARM IN AUSTRIA, NOT A VERY GOOD DAY, THE NEXT 48HRS WAS EVEN WORSE. AT LEAST WE HAD A COFFEE BEFORE WE FOUND OUT.
Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset in the south west of England. It is situated 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 13 miles (21 km) south-east of Bristol. The population of the city is 83,992. It was granted city status by Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1590, and was made a county borough in 1889 which gave it administrative independence from its county, Somerset. The city became part of Avon when that county was created in 1974. Since 1996, when Avon was abolished, Bath has been the principal centre of the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES).
The city was first established as a spa with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") by the Romans in AD 43, although verbal tradition suggests that Bath was known before then. They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the River Avon around hot springs. Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973. Much later, it became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.
The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city has a variety of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism, with over one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year. The city has two universities and several schools and colleges. There is a large service sector, and growing information and communication technologies and creative industries, providing employment for the population of Bath and the surrounding area.
Gah! I clearly accidentally turned on HDR Art mode when taking this picture!
Forum Theatre, Bath. Opened in 1934 and designed by W H Watkins, with A S Gray. The Forum followed the usual path of conversion to bingo in the 1960's, which failed fairly quickly, before becoming a church. A major, and spectacularly successful restoration was undertaken and the Forum is one of the most complete 1930's former cinemas in the UK. There is a very extensive use of the theatre for live shows and concerts in addition to the religious services held by the Bath City Church.

Your Baby's First Bath
For every parent their baby’s bath time is a special time. Especially, when it’s the first bath of their newborn. Every expression, every coo and every action is a memorable one – and ofcourse many like to preserve the memories by taking pictures.
With all the excitement going on, one must remember to keep the baby safe and always be attentive towards the baby during bath time. Do not leave your baby alone at anytime. Always double check the needs of your baby. Swati Popat Vats

On Sunday, Den and I walked from Mark's to Bradford upon Avon along the canal, meeting the others at The Cross Guns pub at Avoncliff for Sunday lunch. Was a beautiful day.
Bath Street connects the Kings Bath, at the east end of the Street, and the Cross Baths at the far end. It was designed by Thomas Baldwin, and started in 1791. It has colonnades with twenty-one bays of columns on both sides. These gave shelter for sedan chairs carrying sick occupants between the King’s Bath the Cross Baths.
One of the more beautiful structures from ancient Ethiopia is Fasilides Bath. King Fasilides commissioned the construction of what is know as Fasilides' Swimming pool, or Fasilides' Bath, beyond the the heart of the city north-west of the Qaha River. There is a two-storeyed battlemented palace standing in a square pool which receives it water from a canal filled by the river, but which is empty most of the time for sanitary reasons. Fasilides built the bath in the mid-1600s. Fasilides was emperor of Ethiopia from 1632 to 18 October 1667. Gondar, Ethiopia.
