Hello to all
It is Tuesday morning and after brekky we headed off to do a city walk. They do these each morning. The guides are volunteers, our chap Terry,it was his 944th walk today, a very interesting chap, born in Bath and knew his city very well. It took about 2 1/4 hrs and then we headed off to the Abbey what an amazing place, we went in about 1.00 and there was to be a organ recital at 1.10 by a chap called Ian Ball,he is actually a lawyer specialising in employment law, before studying law he enjoyed a successful career as a musician. He taught at Cheltham's School of Music and other places and he held the position of Acting Director of Music at Gloucester Cathedral. An amazing fellow, and we actually got to hear him as a lunchtime recital, an amazing experience. The Abbey was incredible as well. I do have a history and will put this in later.
After this we did some more sightseeing, came back had a bit of a rest did a few emails etc and then went out again had some dinner at a lovely place called Browns and came home and watched 'Love Actually' we decided we needed to see something we both liked. We are both OK now Sam said he has the situation in a box and wants to totally forget it, but will support me in my quest for some justice not only for us but for all the other people who get scammed on a regular basis, he just does not want to have to get involved in it. We head off to Newquay, Cornwall, we had booked a place in St Ives but they cancelled us, they got an email from me I can tell you, anyway we have somewhere else to stay, main thing. We have two days there, then one day Southhampton and one day in Ashford in Kent and then on to London for 8 days and then home. Bath is a lovely place, the town gets 5 million visitors per year and there is no industry here just tourism. We have just seen on the news that there was a fire in the tunnel we used yesterday to get to Wales. Our B&B here is lovely and the lady who runs it is also. Close to everything, walking distance etc. The city does have a very interestin history. It has really warmed up in the last day or so. Sam and Sabine
