Now I don’t want anyone to jump to the conclusion that me having a bath is sufficiently noteworthy to justify a blog entry!

The city of Bath is a stunning place with it’s Georgian Facades and Roman Antiquities. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in the area. We were there yesterday, playing at being tour guides for an American colleague of mine and her husband.

I spotted this lovely, and clearly well used, Land Rover on wedding duty outside the Abbey. It makes a lovely change to see a vehicle like this “dressed up” for wedding duty. When we got married, we found it quite difficult to find stuff that made the day different without being tacky. So full marks to this couple, though I think the Land Rover was actually the transport for the bride’s father!

As if that wasn’t enough, later in the day in the same area we stumbled across this stretched, open top VW Beetle. I think the Beetle rivals only the Land Rover and the Mini for sheer icon status — not to mention being modified — and this was a particularly fine example.

We finished the day with a rather fine dinner at the Crown and Garter pub in Inkpen – recommended!
