Hi all,
I was in Bath in passing today, but I never stop in town.
Cheers Darrel
St. Michaels Church, next to Saracens Head (mentioned in Pickwick Papers)?

I had not been to Bath for 38 years but as we are staying in Bristol for a week we decided to pay Bath a visit.
Just a short train ride, £10 return and only a 12 minute journey.
On arrival, we soon discovered that Bath’s main thoroughfares are most certainly a contrast to Bristol city center,. They obviously have a larger maintenance budget as the whole town seems clean, neat and tidy!
We obviously had to see the Roman baths (£23 entry) and we did enjoy the adventure very much.
The only negative was even on a week day it was vey busy and I did think a few times, if any of us had Covid it would soon be a lot of us!
Next up was lunch in one of the new style ‘order your self’ emporiums, in this case we both has Asian rice and noodle dishes, Sarah’s was great, mine had a bit of ‘not so fresh salmon’ but I did like the rest of it!
The Abbey was next, £7.50 entry, (Bristol Carhedral is free) a wonderful building both inside and out.
Not a dark intimidating place like some are but, a lovely light, warm and airy atmosphere with beautiful glass. It is a very clean Abbey, clean in many ways from the design to the actual floor.
We also saw from a distance another large church building that looked worth investigating. As it tuned out, it was no longer a church but a cafe! So we had a cup of tea and cake….
Back on the train and then a little walking diversion to visit St Mary Redcliffe church.
Now this is something special indeed!
St Mary Redcliffe is Britain’s largest parish church, a very gothic and detailed exterior, nothing short of amazing really!
No entry charge and with the added bonus of some friendly custodians inside to help you appreciate the tremendous scale and magnificence that only such a large building can offer.
The stained glass is way up with the best we have seen, very vibrant and colorful.
However it must be said that unlike the Bath Abbey with its heated floor and bright atmosphere, I would not fancy sleeping in St Marys! it is quite ‘Dracula’!
I spoke to this wonderful 88 year old gentleman who told me about his personal experiences of being a chorister boy singing unaccompanied in front of a full church of parishioners .
He sung ‘Once in Royal Davids City’ in a completely blacked and out full house.
He told me the choir master approached him at the critical moment just as the last of the light was extinguished and rang a tone bell in his ear and whispered ‘ this is your moment.’
Here are a few of ‘The Great Indoors’ photos…

Autumn moon over a local reservoir
The classic Swedish April weather, although it occasionally spills over into May, which is not great when you want to get started in the garden... You can be walking around in shorts one day, only to get a decent layer of snow the next, with the cycle generally repeated a few times. We got our share last night:

Hi all,

Too much good living on all the sweet corn and boilies that the carp fisherpeople have thrown in?
cheers Darrel
Yep, a far cry from 1930 stocking of Redmire.

Think she said only two caught on the day, about an hour before packing in for the day she got the fish ,a local member helped with the net and guided her in without touching the rod ,to make it her catch😃 24lb not bad for a novice
That fish looks slightly demented…
