Bath; A city like no other, just beautiful and historic...2 July
Out with Alana for the day in Bath. We parked the car and took the bus in as there is not parking in Bath and it costs a fortune. Alana and Mum waited outside while I took a look on my own; they had been there before and it's not cheap to go in. It was wonderful, I couldn't get enough of the place. Plenty of tourist in there to jostle with.
Down at the water level. You can walk in and out of all the rooms. Very interesting.
Up on the platform which was built in the 18 th century to show off the archeological finds.
How the joint looked in the Roman settlement times.
Hairstyle of the day girls. I would have been an ugly bitch, not enough hair for that style.
This bath was full of coins.
There's the old girl accosting a stranger to take her pic. Great day out

Doncaster, land of my Father
Had a day with the relatives in Doncaster. My Dad's cousin, Vaughn and her daughter Dawn. We just lumped ourselves on Vaughn's doorstep this morning as we didn't have her phone number. We got into Doncaster last night after travelling from Chester via Great Harwood. It took over 9 hours to get here as there was a traffic jam on the M 62. There was an accident and on top of all that the roads all around Lleds and other parts of Yorkshire are all closed due to the Tour de France bike race.
We went out for a spot of lunch at the Scwabey Mill, lovely.
The church opposite our hotel, shot through the window so a little shaky. Actually a lot of my pics are a bit on the blurred side as I shake so much.
Due to the Bike Race I shall not get to see Yorkshire, the mores and the surrounding beautiful countryside. I am most upset about that as it was where my Dad came from. I did get to see his house and street he lived in and the school he went to before immigrating to Australia in 1951.
Dad's School. Well off to Tredford in the morning. Heading back down South again. We unfortunately will not be able to go through Nottingham where my Nanna comes from or see the beautiful Cambridge as the roads are all blocked for the bike race. I have chosen Tredford as it is the half point to Margete in Kent and it is away/ east of Cambridge and it's quite historic in history. Bugger it is Sunday as everything is closed but we will be coming via Lincoln on our journey with a stop off for lunch, coffee. This will place us in Tredford fairly late anyway on Sunday. Not much time foe sightseeing anyway. Well time to sleep , night me little lovelies.

Having a day out with Dr Martin.
Port Isaac 30th of June
Went off to Port Isaac for an over night adventure.
After a 3 to 4 hour drive we really needed a cupper. We had a lovely little roof top verandah which we retired to for a while to refresh. A nice long wLk through the village was then in order so Mum came for a look T the end of the school yard and then Alana and I went off to explore. We first headed to the pub and a kind tourist took our pic with the little harbour in the background.
Guess where I am ???
And yes you're right this is Louisa's little cottage. The door is really low and it's no wonder the Dr always hit his head.
We had dinner in the resturant in the Old School House. It was absolutely yummy. Mum had pork belly with Apple sauce and veggies and Alana and I had the fish pie and veggies.
OMG it was soooooo tasty that we had to go up stairs and sleep; well I did anyway. Must have been all the driving, walking and eating but I was exhausted.
Hey came out of dinner and the tide had come in.
The car had better be shifted soon. The tidal movement is a blow-out.
