Christmastide in Bath

Christmas Day was spent with Rob and Katherine Thomas’-- a solicitor and his wife (a lab scientist) who supported themselves to come and work with A Rocha. After Boxing Day, we took a train to Bath, an ancient town where the Romans first constructed baths in the geothermal springs. After that time, particularly during the Georgian period, the city was built up as an oasis for the wealthy and influential to relax their over-strained nerves (suppressing the masses is, apparently, tiresome). The city, though is lovely, and was a enjoyable way to spend our time after Christmas. I would say that we enjoyed most especially going to hear the Bath Abbey Girls’ Choir at the Cathedral (if anyone is ever in proximity to us, please ask for a copy of their cd- lovely, lovely).
