Weekend in Bath

Friday evening Hubby and I raced home from work, packed a small bag and headed of to Somerset. Our friends
C & J live near Bath. Friday was a good but busy day at work. I heard confirmation that I have been the successful canidate for a secondment into a global team for 6 months. Yes sounds a short period but seemed like a good chance to gain some experince in a slightly different area. So that starts on Jan 1st. Meanwhile I have a lot of work to get done in my current role.

Saturday morning C and I headed off to Bath for a little shopping. The aim was to get a pair of ankle boots I
could wear for work , look for a few gifts, pick up a few winter wishes cards and a top for next Wednesday for
going out with friend from work. We did quite well . . . . I now have a pair of black boots (hubby did not like)
, a pair of purple shoes (not shown hubby) which were in the Jones the shoemakers sale, two new tops
, a small handbag for evenings and some new socks. YEY !!

While in Bath saw the store in the photo below. All the windows were filled with old singer sewing machines.
Had to take a picture. Well the sewing machines may not be clear but loved the effect of the reflected image :)



The guys had been to Bristol to see the ships held there.

The grooup had a nice meal out at the Railway Inn where we sat in a railway carrage that is attached to the back
of the pub. Then home where we ended up playing the Lord of the Rings trival Pursuit game after our friends said onlytheir daughter could play it due to the knowledge you need. As hubby is a huge LOR fan he took this as a challebge. We had a laugh. Girls against boys .... Where the girls won. We all found the questions about the making of the film VERY hard.


Finally home today for getting some washing done.
