The City of Bath
One of my favourite places.
Not entirely because of the Jane Austen connection. =D
Located in the southwest of England
This Charming City is set in rolling hills with incredible 18th Century Georgian Architecture.
By car or by train, this city is worth the journey.

With the sun shining, the beautiful summers day showed off this charming city.
A friend from the USA visited England for the first time this summer.
It was a privilege to show her some of my beloved places.
We didn't want to leave after our one night stay.
In hindsight, we should have stayed a few days more.
For although it is a smaller city in comparison to London and the like, it's pace,
it's history, hidden stores and cafe's draw you in.
You find yourself relaxed and simply enjoying the moment you find yourself in.

We arrived by train and walked the incredible streets to our B&B.
After dropping our bags off we set out to find the quintessential English tradition.

Anticipating this important experience for my friend, I researched and discovered a place called
It did not disappoint!
While we sipped the delicious loose leaf tea awaiting the arrival of our food, we found a shelf containing books. Many of great interest to me, it was hard to choose. We found ourselves perusing the pages with excitement as they held much information and history of this great city.
I could have easily sat there all afternoon!
We quickly laid our books to the side as our food arrived :)
Afternoon Tea for Two
It was delicious.
And combined with the atmosphere, a lovely experience!
