Annual Bath!

Every year my husband and I take a long weekend trip to the gorgeous city of Bath. We go to meet up with a friend, shop in the interesting arcades and streets and take in the Art Museums, galleries and bookshops for which Bath is renowned. If you get the chance I can recommend The Beaux Arts Gallery which is housed in a beautiful Georgian building in York Street. It is one of the most well displayed galleries I know and knocks spots off some of the more well known ones in London! The artists are well selected and inspiring. It is opposite a fantastic book shop, Topping and Company which is also in a wonderful classical building. Another lovely gallery is Red Rag which is at the upper end of the city in the charming Brock Street, with one or two cafes and an old book shop, off the beaten track, so good to go to when the centre of the town gets crowded. It always has a lovely collection of contemporary art and sculpture on display. Then of course there are great dining opportunities in Bath. I recommend La Terra, a Sicilian/ Italian cafe recently opened. All it lacks at present is some good art work for it’s ,as yet, bare walls!
