What a line-up, I WAS THERE and just had to post this. I think the conversation in the pub on the evening of Friday 26th went something like "They're putting on an open air thing in Bath and the line-up looks great. I've got a couple of spare seats in the car, anyone fancy going? We'll probably have to leave tonight as there'll probably be a bit of traffic". 10 minutes later 4 of us in the car heading west. I think I remember being in a lot of traffic queues as we got closer but we eventually arrived and it was still daylight. No tent, nothing. We had stopped to buy several (many) beers though and I think we may have had some stuff. We found a position on the hill overlooking the stage and that was our kingdom until late on Sunday night. We made a "camp" out of newly mown grass that surrounded us and slept there. It did rain I think. I can't remember what we did for toilet stuff. I was much younger then..........Born to be wild
La AbadÃa de Bath destaca por sus impresionantes vidrieras, que cubren casi el 80% de la superficie de sus paredes, lo que contribuye a su gran luminosidad interior.
El edificio cuenta con cincuenta y dos ventanales, de los cuales el más destacado es el gran ventanal este, que representa cincuenta y seis escenas de la vida de Jesús, incluyendo una Natividad realizada por Clayton y Bell en 1872.
En la fachada occidental se encuentra una vidriera que representa el sueño del obispo Oliver King, con una alegorÃa de ángeles ascendiendo hacia Dios a través de una escalera.
Además, en la nave central se puede admirar una pila bautismal victoriana de 1874 con una parte superior móvil, junto a una antigua bandera de Estados Unidos colgada en recuerdo al senador William Bingham.
Las vidrieras, junto con la arquitectura gótica perpendicular y las bóvedas de abanico, crean una atmósfera de belleza y serenidad que caracteriza al templo.

The next day trip we had while we stayed in Corsham was to the lovely city of Bath. It was on the verge of being a drizzly day, but we managed to keep dry. Here's a double image I created on my phone with Snapseed! More photos of Pulteney Bridge and the river later on.
While Tim was looking in a charity shop, I wandered up to the fountain to take a photo of it! Wikipedia info below. In the distance is the Holburne Museum, which is closed due to Covid.
Laura Place Bathwick, Bath, Somerset, England, consists of four blocks of houses around an irregular quadrangle at the end of Pulteney Bridge. It was built by Thomas Baldwin and John Eveleigh between 1788 and 1794. 1
Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are combined with Numbers 1 to 7 Great Pulteney Street, and others with Henrietta Street.
The fountain at the center of the quadrangle was not part of the original plan; it was added in the late 19th century. After completion of the main street in 1877 local residents petitioned and successfully raised significant funds to build a grand column (rather like Nelson's Column in London). However, as construction of the column started, the residents realised that the addition would tower over the area (it would be 50% taller than the houses), and so they then petitioned for it to be cancelled. After some negotiations, the column was pulled down and the much smaller fountain added instead. It consists of a circular stone basin with four radial projections surmounted by an urn with gadrooned bowl.
Bath is the second largest city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England, known for its Roman-built baths and Georgian brick architecture. In 2016, its population reached 90.931. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18.5 km) south-east of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquæ Sulis, AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although hot springs were known even before then. Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a popular religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of water from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town in the Georgian era. Georgian architecture, crafted from Bath stone, includes the Royal Crescent, Circus, Pump Room, and Assembly Rooms.
So, this is what I've been doing saturday night! ;D
I washed Lulu's wig and took some pics of her bath time ritual! ;))
While my little girl was playing video games with her dad I went to her bedroom and "stole" her Kellys bathroom furniture for a few minutes! hehe The bathtub is a soap dispenser! haha ;D
Back to Bath, in Mid-September and a couple of panoramics of the vaulted ceiling of the Nave. This was the Friday before the Queen's funeral so I knew it was going to be busy. In fact, so busy that the best pics were always going to be looking up. Each image is a four-frame stitch, taken with the old Powershot SX50. Still a great little camera!

Today we had loads of fun with this pregnant milk bath session. We filled up the bathtub with warm water and a bit of milk powder to get this nice white colour. Then we used a Studio Portrait Fashion lightning LUMINI200II head to get rid of all the shadows and get a nice and bright picture. It's the first time trying something like that but it was amazing with the help of one of my friends to setup the whole thing. I hope you like the results.
Thank you all for your appreciation.
