A day in Bath

[wellinghall]

We have been to Bath. We had hot chocolate; bought chocolate fudge, Cropwell Bishop Stilton* and Single Gloucester; saw the Herschel Museum and Bath Abbey**; and (fortunately?) found that all the bookshops were closed.

*I asked which dairy the Stilton was from and was told, "It's from the Midlands." This was a singularly pointless answer. Anyone who cares enough about their Stilton to ask which dairy it's from is surely going to know that it's from the Midlands.

**This has a marvellous collection of memorial tablets, including the odd typo (carvo?); notably, someone who, on his deathbed, was looking forward to a life of immorality.

Oh yes: and lunch at The Old Green Tree.

That's my son-in-law's favourite pub.

It was very good. The food service wasn't great - the (non English speaking waitress) initially didn't understand my order, and tried to overcharge us (accidentally, I'm pretty sure). But my food was very good (and adaese's was pretty good, just not quite so much to her taste); my Penny Black mild was an excellent choice from their range of six real ales; and I was impressed to see Calvados, Somerset Apple Brandy, and Apple Eau de Vie on offer.
