Bath - Day 3


Started with a visit to the Fashion Museum and assembly rooms. 


Unfortunately, no photos allowed in the Museum, except for this bit where people could try on period dress. Both girls were gobsmacked at how heavy the dresses were.  These were Victorian, of course, not Regency like a lot of what we've been seeing in and around Bath.


Also popped up to visit No 1 Royal Crescent (again, no photos allowed inside), 


then on a stroll through the nearby gardens, spotted this great mini-golf course, so had to have a go. Sarah won.  I lost. Oh well.


Had some tea at Sally Lunn's, the oldest house in Bath, and tried the famous Sally Lunn buns (Sarah had scones). 


And finally finished up with a visit to the only one of the residences Jane Austen lived in in Bath actually marked with a plaque - and frankly, it wasn't any too prominent.  And then, home on the train - a great visit, but good to be back.  More photos from today's outings in my flickr album.
