When I read the blog of another person I get an impression, form a picture in my mind, and have a distinct vision how he or she will be. I'm so happy that I can assure you that I was right - a wonderful, witty and handsome man he is, and before you recommend me to plunge into the famous Roman Baths

we were four: Tom, his lovely wife H.I. and her daughter. We all talked so lively, that I managed just in time (running like a hare) to catch the train back to London.
Thank you all for a really lovely day!

We'll meet again - in Bath or Berlin - and with Husband.

With a review of our meeting like that, you must come back again soon! I always learn something about this town from visitors - I never realised how many fictional murders took place here. All I know about are the real ones, from around 1700 to the present day.
ReplyDelete"This is Bath, the Floral City. Nobody can spare the time to commit murder", said the wife of Peter Diamond (Peter Lovesey's detective) - but all the crime novelists show she's wrong. In Manvers Street near the Station first thing I saw was the 'real' police - I took a few photos and they looked at me with suspicion. I still have to visit T''he Vault' in Walcot Street and find the bakery of Inspector James Leonard in Broad Street. See - a lot to find out stll!
Delete'I was to meet my fellow blogger, Tom Stephenson, for the first time and in person.'
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of Tom!
And, Britta, I can quite picture you cutting an Austenesque figure in such wonderfully-dignified surroundings. So lovely to read of your adventures -- and to see these great images.
Dear Suze,
Deletethank you! You would have fitted so well in our meeting, I am quite sure of that! And remember: we both have a plan too: going by train through some parts of Germany.
Bath is looking beautiful. How lovely to have a blogger meet up! x
ReplyDeleteDear Penny,
Deleteyes, it is a city you can love easily. It has such a beautiful calm atmosphere (in spite of the many tourists like me).
Ah, Bath, how I would love to go back there! It was a long time ago, but I still remember the color of that stone. I am so glad the weather was fine for you. Your photos are lovely, indeed.
ReplyDeleteDear Sue,
DeleteThank you! I can imagine that you love this city - the honey colour is still in one's eye and imagination when one thinks of it.
Bath seems to be very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love all pictures, especially the one where you are in the mirror! And I love the weather I can see, nice in England the summer is strange.
Have a great stay.
Bisou, Babi
Dear Babi,
Deleteif you visit England, I would really recommend a visit to Bath! The mirror is lovely - and on visits one has so few photos of oneself.
Beautiful images of Bath Brigitta ....... it is such a lovely city and I'm so pleased tht you enjoyed it { and, of course, meeting up with Tom & family } Hope that you enjoyed London as much and many thanks for your lovely comment over at mine. XXXX
ReplyDeleteDear Jacqueline,
Deletethank you! Yes - in London I enjoy every single minute - my head (and feet) is brimming - so much to see! My Landlady always asks me for my newest excursions and discoveries.
Britta.. Imagine all those lovely books I have read where the heroine and her companions had to retire to Bath for some restorative therapy due to some English scoundrel...and I had never seen photographs of its loveliness ! No wonder they had to holiday in Bath... I would definitely find those surroundings very rejuvenating...You were so kind to share your adventure including your blogger friend and family. What a treat! Safe travels... Susan
ReplyDeleteDear Susan,
ReplyDeleteI love those books! And share your view that it is a lovely city for finding to oneself again. Surprising for me was the many detective novels (e.g. Peter Loevesay) that are settled in Bath too.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this lovely post, Britta! Ah, Bath! Such a beautiful and elegant city! All your photos are really nice. I can't understand why Anne Elliot doesn't like the place. Did you drink some hot spring water there? I'm particularly interested in the Roman baths. They look so wonderful! Bathing in those thermal waters....ah...must have been great! I'm sure you liked it!!
ReplyDeleteDear Sapphire,
Deletethank you! I don't understand Anne Elliot either - maybe there are too many tourists? No, I didn't drink the water (I have still its taste from Karlsbad in my mouth, many years ago) - but bathing in the thermal water: that I would have liked!
