BATH CITY, UK - October 2014
DAY 1:
This year and this particular month was a special one for Mrs F.....she turns 30!!
We both had the week off as Mrs F always does each year for her birthday. Mrs F had a Disney Themed fancy dress party on the Saturday before our week off and Mrs F and her Mummy had a lovely day of lovely things on the Monday.
So on Tuesday morning, Mr F texted Mrs F a message to pack a bag for a surprise adventure!!!
Excited, curious and not knowing what to pack on the basis of not knowing where I was going, I packed a fair amount to cover all my options! All I knew, was that it wasn't a trekking getaway.
So Mrs F loaded all her presents and cards into the car along with a mammoth holdall bag and we drove towards Wales....and ended up in Bath!
Mrs F had wanted to go to Bath and was a lovely birthday surprise from Mr F...
We pulled up outside our hotel, which was a converted old house (more like a B&B) called Paradise House...the name said it all! Our room was a stunning 4 poster bed room, with a big fireplace and gorgeous bathroom that had Molton Brown products....lush!! Mrs F had a birthday card and chocolates waiting for her from the hotel owners too!!

After we had unpacked, we headed straight out to explore Bath as we arrived in the early afternoon and didn't want to waste a moment. We were given a map by Chloe, who runs the hotel with her partner, Ben. She showed us good places to eat and how to get to the town from the hotel etc. So armed with our map, we headed for the town centre, which was only a 10min walk away. The hotel was situated right at the top of a hill that got your hamstrings working and some people did complain about it on Trip Advisor, but it wasn't as bad as some people were making it out to be!!
As per our old usual routine when heading out into a new place, we headed straight for the Abbey, which was near enough in the centre. It was a fabulous building, inside and out. The architect and the detail was certainly impressive.
From the Abbey, we headed over to the weir which was lovely and had a general mooch about the town. There so many places to eat in Bath it's unreal! There's lots of places to have afternoon tea, cakes, buns and such things, much to Mrs F's delight!
We walked down to The Royal Crescent, which is quite famous for many reasons, one being that it is often used in dated films and period dramas.
Then we walked through the botanical gardens where we sat by the lake for we while a watched the ducks get fed. We saw lots of squirrels here too.

We somehow managed to get a tad lost after seeing the Royal Crescent and ended up walking through a very scenic car park by the gardens! We eventually found a path that lead back up towards the crescent and walked down Gay Street and back towards the Abbey and city centre...

We stopped in a little tea shop by the weir for lunch just in time as the rain came down. Mrs F had a brie & cranberry toasted panini and Mrs F had a ham and cheese baguette and they were both delicious.
Once the rain cleared, it was back to being quite a nice day and stayed that way for the rest of our trip. We had by this time been walking around for a good 4 hours and Mrs F was wearing completely flat shoes....bad idea for the next day when her calf muscles were tight!!
We had a quick look at a Nepalese restaurant that was on the recommended list of places to eat called Yak Yeti Yak. We went inside and had a look at the menu and it was just like being back in Nepal. The smell and atmosphere made us feel very at home and familiar with it all! They had a separate part of the restaurant where you could sit on the floor on cushions and had a big photo on the wall of Ama Dablam, the horse saddle mountain that we saw on our way to Everest Base Camp. We would have loved to have eaten there, but unfortunately there was nothing that really took our fancy apart from Momo's which we loved and discovered whilst in Dugla, but not enough to have a meal there.
Chloe had recommended a pub called The Raven that wasn't on the list but apparently they did an amazing pie and mash, so we popped in for a drink on the way back,. We were still quite full from lunch so didn't have any dinner that night. But we did find out that they were having free cider tasting the next night so planned to go back for that and give their pies a go!
After the pub we headed back to the hotel. We had to walk under a subway which Mrs F is never a fan of, but it was all fine. We had our first experience of heading back up the apparent dreaded hill to the hotel and can see why some people would moan about it, but for us experienced trekkers it was fine!
DAY 2:
Breakfast at the hotel was lovely. There was lots on offer at the servery - cereals, fruit, yoghurts, jams, smoothies, juices. We had a full English that was also really lovely. After we had loaded up, we headed out with an agenda. To go on the free walking tour of Bath and to then go and see the actual Roman Baths. Mrs F had also seen a fudge room with free tasting too, was was quite keen to go there!
The tour started at 10:30 and would last around 2 hours with a couple miles walk around the city. We got out quite early and still had just under an hour before the tour started, so we had another little look about the many, many simlar looking streets. We said that we were going to mark off on the map where we had been already because Bath was so big with lots of little streets it was like a maze! We were laughing about joining a tour group as Mrs F was soon to turn 30, we're now into the more 'older folk' holidays and interest! The tour started at the Abbey and it was our tour guides first tour on his own....with us!! We had about 10 of us in our group so wasn't too big and nice for all of us to get around quick enough.
He first spoke about the architecture of the Abbey and said that the 2 ladders either side of the Abbey represent Jacobs ladder with 6 figures on each ladder that represent the 12 disciples with Jesus sitting at the very top of the Abbey looking down. There was also a figure that was facing and heading down the ladder that represented an angel. From there we headed over towards John The Baptist Hospital, which we would have never seen or known about had we not joined the tour.

| Another Entrance To The Roman Baths |
The significance of this wall is that there is no significance! It was build with the sheer intention to keep it with the surrounding look with the pillars and windows. The pillars aren't actually acting as any kind of support at all, they are there purely just for show!
We learned that if you didn't have this special kind of little plague on your house and it was on fire, the fire brigade would first look to see if you had this plaque that indicated you had house insurance before putting out the fire. If you didn't have one, they would let your house burn down!!
You can see the 2 little plaques either side of this little church that was right next to the hospital in the same complex...
 |
| This House Shows The Original Old Limestone Built |
After seeing the hospital, we walked over to where the 2 main sources of the water came from to source the Roman Baths which is where the modern Thermae Spa is now. Then we walked over to where there was a building that was purpose built to show off all possible aspects of architecture, so the building itself is a bit of a mish-mash of everything, like Mr F said, it doesn't quite know what it wants to be!!
 |
| The Mish-Mash Building! |
From here, we walked to a theatre that had a big glass roof built to accommodate bigger productions coming from London, much to the residents discuss as it does stick out and not exactly in keeping with the rest of Bath! We learned about window tax whilst we were here too - if you had more than 6 windows on the front of your house, you would be taxed. So people would take out and block in some windows to avoid being taxed or another way around it was to ensure that 2 windows were no more than 1 foot apart as this would count as one! Another interesting fact we wouldn't had known if not on the tour!

We then walked to a mansion that Ralph Allen built. Ralph Allen was responsible for most of the building work in Bath. He came up with the idea to move away from original limestone buildings that used roughly the same sized stone in no consistent pattern resulting in an uneven surface. He went on to use a more even sized stones which is what we see in Bath buildings today. He was also the one who came up with a new postal system - before, post that needed to go from Bath to Bristol would first go all the way to London to be sorted!
This mansion was built with the intention to look like a palace with the surrounding court yard houses
We then walked towards the botanical gardens and down a path that Jane Austen used in her Persuasion book for 2 of the characters to be engaged to be married by the time it took them the walk the length of the path. We were also shown some old houses and how there was no running water in any of the houses and therefore no toilet flushing system. So the toilets were eventually built on the outside of the house and in the meantime, it was some poor guys job to go around and collect all the human waste that was brought to end of the garden through a hole in the wall by the servants....grim!!
At the end of the path was The Royal Crescent, which we learned had a museum at the end of the crescent...
 |
| The Museum On The Right |
We also learned about the means of getting people around via Sudan chairs. People would sit in these chairs and be carried around like a taxi service and sometimes were even carried upstairs to their bedroom if they requested it....lazy buggas!!
 |
| A Sudan Chair |
We then made our way down Brock Street to The Circus, which is another famous part of Bath. All around the circus were carvings above the doors and according to the tour guide, no 2 carvings are the same but no one has ever looked at them closely enough to be proven wrong. The tour guide also told us that The Royal Crescent and The Circus were designed by Freemasons and they incorporated their beliefs into the designing of the roads - if you look at it from a birds eye view, you can see that the crescent is shaped like a question mark with Brock Street leading to the circus, which connects down through Gay Street to a square shaped street block, thus being a key. Apparently the question mark and the key are symbols of the Freemasons. We found out that Nicholas Cage used to live at number 7 in the circus too!
We then moved on to look at a house that was still black from when Bath used all the chimneys for fire. Bath used to be a very black place before everything was pristine beige and people used to suffer from sinus problems and asthma. All the houses were eventually cleaned by trickling a cleaning agent down the house and also the rain over time when people stopped using their fires places, but for some reason this one house still had the remnants of black soot, maybe because the rain couldn't reach it with the roof covering hanging over slightly.

Then we walked to Alfred Street where William Harbutt lived, the man who invented plasticine. We saw down this road the old ways that streets and front doorways were lit using oil burners and one house still had the iron arch with the candle snuffers still there.

Then we headed over to the Assembly Rooms where rich people would bring their Sons and Daughters who were coming of age to meet possible suitors. It was always the done thing that the richest boy and girl would end up betrothed. The windows in the room here were all high to stop 'riff-raff' looking in! We were coming to the end of our tour now and back towards the city centre with a few little points of interest along the way. All in all, we were glad that we joined the tour and got to know more about Bath and it's history.

| Statue Out The Abbey |
After the tour, we planned to go inside the Roman Baths, but first we needed lunch. We didn't have anywhere particular in mind but quite fancied a cream tea in one of the many tea shops that there are. In the end, we decided to go and have a Sally Lunn bun. The queue for sitting inside was headed right out of the door it's such a popular place for it's famous big buns! The queue went down quite quick and we didn't have to wait at all really. We sat on the first floor and both chose to have something sweet rather than savoury on our buns. The buns are sliced in half and you chose a topping. I had home made milk chocolate spread and Mr F had Cafe Au Lait spread. They were both quite sickly but lovely...
Once we had stuffed our faces, we headed for the Roman Baths. We were given an audio guide which you take around the Baths with you a type in the relevant number according to where you were to listen to the history and stories. It was really interesting a great to see that some of the building was still there, especially the actual Baths themselves with the water that was still being sourced from it's original place and still bubbling warm...

This part of the Baths was really dark with a hologram showing the Romans coming for a dip - had to put the flash on to see it a bit better.

This was called the Warm Room where they built these tiles for the floor to sit on top of them to allow to the warmth from the hot springs to heat the floor, like underfloor heating. This rrom became so hot that you couldn't walk bare foot on the floor due to being burnt!
 |
| A Digital Version Of How The Baths Looked |
The main attraction was the main bath outside that was the centre of the Baths. The water was still warm and it looked like raindrops were falling on the water, but it was the hot springs bubbling from underneath. We somehow missed going on top of the main bath where there are Roman statues, but we still really enjoyed our trip around the Baths, we were so far having a really lovely day...
 |
| Love This Photo |
 |
| A Roman Worker! |
There were 2 people dressed in Roman time attire, a worker and a Roman guard. Hardly no one wanted a photo with the worker so Mrs F kindly said 'Oh come 'ere I'll ave a photo with ya!'

After we had self toured around the Baths, we went off for another mammoth mooch about. Thankfully Mrs F had her trekking boots in the boot of the car and were very much welcomed and used for walking around! Whilst on our walking tour in the morning, we came across other parts of the town that didn't look as popular but still had interest to it and would never have known that part of the town was there, so we decided to go and have a look around. We went back to the circus where Mr F had a photo outside number 7....where Nicholas Cage Lived!
 |

 |
| Mrs F Was Almost Tempted!! |
We planned to go back to the hotel to shower and change before eating out and headed back via a route that lead us to a restaurant that Mr F had booked for us to eat for the following night for Mrs F's actual birthday. Looking at it from the outside, it looked quite crammed and expensive!
We also passed a big nik-nak shop of just junk! In the window display was a large stuffed tiger and bear and what Mrs F thought was also a stuffed curled up cat.....the cat
turned out to be real and was just sleeping on the bear!!
We then went to The Fudge Kitchen just by the Abbey to finally watch fudge being made. They laid it out on the marble table and with a large scrapper, lifted the fudge up and rolled it over on itself until it formed the shape of a long sausage. He cut the ends off and gave us a little bit to taste whilst it was still warm. It was dark Belgian sea salted chocolate and was divine! Mrs F was back the next day to buy some to take home...

| This Was Taken Not Long After!! |
As it was The Ravens 10 year anniversary, the owner arranged for free cider tasting! The guy who put it on came in with 12 different ciders to sample, ranging from 6% to 10% alcohol!! He looked and spoke a bit like Trigger from Only Fools and Horses and was clearly passionate about his ciders and was talking to us about his apples and the different ciders they produce etc. We were sat on the table directly next to him so had first digs on all the cider....result!! Most of the ciders smelt and tasted like a farm and very different to the more popular commercial ciders (that Mrs F prefers!) He did bring in some apples to taste from his orchard and some pure apple juice that tasted just like eating an apple but in liquid form, it was the purest apple juice we had ever tasted. Most people started to disappear, but we stayed and tasted all 12 ciders!! We thought that with the quantity of alcohol consumed, that we (Mrs F) would feel a bit tipsy, but we (Mrs F) were fine!

It was a nice mild night and the stroll back to the hotel was nice. Mrs F made the most of saying that she was still in her 20's as she was going to 30 in just a couple of hours!!
DAY 3: MRS F's 30th BIRTHDAY!
Mrs F woke up at 2:10am and said to herself with a depressing undertone 'I'm 30!' As Mrs F was born at 2am, this means that she is technically no longer in her young 20's!! :-(
It was also Buggles' 7th Birthday today too, so he had presents and cards to open too! Mrs F laid out all of her cards and presents that she bought with her and took a photo to show just how blessed she is to have so much to open on her birthday...

Mr F spoilt Mrs F again and as always on her birthday. Mrs F wasn't overly keen on the Ted Baker jumper below at first, but with the right pair of jeans and shoes it looks nice...so decided to keep it!

Mr F had a look at things we could do today and found a place called Prior Park in Combe Down, which is the next little village along from Bath. It's owned by National Trust but used to be the home of Ralph Allen. According to the guide book, its a mile and half walk up the hill with limited parking, so we decided to walk....and walk we did!! Mrs F had her walking boots on but could have done with her walking pole too!! It was £6 each to get in and were briefly shown where and what things were on a map, then we were free to enter and roam...

We walked through the grounds of the mansion before coming out into the more open part where the mansion was. It was quite an impressive house! We asked the lady who showed us the map if there there was any wildlife, hoping to see some roaming deer, but apart from some birds she didn't say that there was any. However, she failed to mention the field of cows right in front of the mansion! Mr F tried to feed one of them grass, like they didn't have enough going!! The cow looked well weary of him...
In Prior Park there is a Palladian Bridge, one of only four in the world - 3 in UK and another in Pittsburgh, Russia. There are only 4 of them due to the way it has been designed and built to be perfectly symmetrical from all and every angle...

We then walked through the gardens/grounds to a place where Ralph Allen had built a gothic temple. The grounds were vast and walked to the other side and down to the lake. We passed the tea hut and saw what looked like someone who was on our walking tour with us, so said hello and what a coincidence it was to see him.....turns out it wasn't him!!
 |
| No Flash On The Camera :-( |
Mrs F discovered on the night of her party that her camera of 9 years which went all around the world with us had and had been repaired at least 3 times had no flash or full zoom. We kept it going for sentimental reasons, but after 9 years, we fina;;y decided to get a new one - in the meantime for the flash, we used Mrs F's phone...

Thought this was quite cool! The tree that was cut down to rebuild it just missed the summerhouse when it fell, otherwise they would have had a lot more to rebuild!!
We came across a little information map with Bath city, showing exactly how you would look onto it from that point and pointed out the points of interest and what certain buildings were...
 |
| Down By The Lake |
We headed down to the ice house which is where all the ice was kept. If Ralph or his wife or any other important household member wanted ice for any reason, a servant would have to walk all the way down from the house to come and get it from the underground storage and take it all the way back up to the house!!

The bridge had over 200 year old graffiti on it, with a modern sign asking not to add to the graffiti. To give them their dues, they certainly knew how to graffiti even in those days!! Some looked quite professional and had been done with hammer and chisel!!

As we came around and down the park on the other side, we were near enough already down the mammoth hill that we had to walk up to get to the park. The road on this side of the park forked with off at the bottom of the hill so in no time at all we ended up back where we started.
We decided to walk back along the lake that lead us right past Bath rugby ground and the weir. We were on the right side of the weir for our little tea shop where we had lunch on our first day, so we decided to go back and have afternoon cream teas....

After having our cream teas, we headed over to the indoor market, which we both usually like for a good mooch. However, there wasn't much there, so instead we headed over to the Abbey to be part of our second tour of the bell tower! We took the last 2 tickets for the 3pm tour that was £6 each. We were taken through to the start of a 212 step climb in total, stopping off on the roof and bell ringing room before continuing up and on to the bell tower...

We had to walk across the roof to get to the other side where the bell ringing room is...

| The Traditional Bell Ringing Ropes |
This hefty piece of machinery still works the quarter hour bell chimes. Since it was first built they have only had to change one thing on it to make it more durable. We got to see it work at 3:15pm....
Another modern way to ring the bells is to pull these ropes towards you....
This way lead to the clock where we sat inside/behind it. Before electricity, someone would sit inside the clock with an oil lamp for 12 hours during the night for the clock to be lit!!
Our tour guide told us a story of how one of the bells had a crack in it and had to get lifted down from the tower and shipped off the London for repair. Back then, then music leader would have to go with it. After it was mended, shipped back and was hoisted back up to the bell tower, they discovered that it was out of tune and therefore had to go through the whole process again with it going back to London! This time they sent someone else to go with it!!
Another bell had a poem on it for a lady who wanted to donate £10,000 for the bell ringing (I think it was that amount) but she died after only donating a small amount and put in her will that her family would pay up the rest!!!

Back inside the Abbey after the tour, looking up to where we were stood in the attic. Unfortunately you can't see the little holes in these pictures, but I'm sure if you zoomed in you could spot them!
From the Abbey, we headed over to St Johns church which Mrs F had wanted to have a look inside. It is a Catholic church so we discovered and quite over the top with all the statues and what could almost pass off as shrines!
Mrs F acting like a proper tourist taking a photo of the Queen Victoria statue.....really she was just admiring the architecture of it!

As we were going to The Raven to watch a live band that night, we didn't know weather to eat there again or go to a nice restaurant for Mrs F's birthday. We thought it pointless to go all the way back to the hotel to change to come all the way out again, so we decided to just go to dinner in what we were wearing. Mr F had seen a recommended pub advertised in a hostel, so we decided to go and check it out and have a drink. It was basically a weather spoon that sold cheap drinks. Mr F asked for some nuts and got 2 half pints worth!!!
We did plan to go to an Italian restaurant just by the weir called Joya which looked quite nice from looking at the menu. However, we were quite torn between Joya and the Raven for somewhere to eat. As it was a special birthday we wanted to go somewhere nice, but didn't want to miss a seat for the live band. After a lot of umming and arghing, we finally made the decision to eat in The Raven and get a good spot for the band.
The band was a blues/jazz band and they were really good, a nice little treat for Mrs F's birthday and Mr F asked for a special shout and a song for Mrs F, just not Happy Birthday due to possible embarrassment, so they played Isn't She Lovely. A good way to end the day.....
DAY 3: HOME
After breakfast, Mr F loaded up the car of clothes and all presents, Mrs F went into the hotel gardens to take some photos. The garden was quite big and lovely to walk around. Then we hit the road for the drive back to London....

VERDICT OF BATH
Mr F: A beautiful city with loads to see and do. A great place to spend for the wife's birthday and must return soon.
Mrs F: I absolutely loved Bath! It was such a beautiful place with lots of history. Loved both of the tours that gave further insight to the history and all the little streets and shops and the bell tower. It was the most wonderful surprise getaway for my 30th birthday and am very blessed for such an amazing hubby who is so thoughtful and generous. Love you Hubby and can't wait to visit Bath again :-)
