It's beautiful, it's Georgian, it's a city and it's got baths in it. Only they're shut. But never mind.

The narrative: Driving to Bath the sky was autumnal and crazy. When we got there Mrs B had decanted one of Mr B's bottles of birthday port. I don't know anyone else with birthday port. It is a very cool thing to have. The next morning we walked into Bath down the canal. There are lots of antique shops and reclaim yards. The boys obligingly looked into an interesting mirror. Later we went to The Bell. You don't get pubs like this round our way anymore.
