Bath Part 2/ Bath, deuxieme partie


The oldest house in Bath c.1482; Sally Lunn's Bun Shop c.1680,now a tea shop and museum.
Sally Lunn was a French refugee and taught the local baker how to make a type of brioche.The secret recipe was rediscovered in the 1930s and the buns are baked on the premises, though not, I hope, in the kitchen pictured below..
La plus vieille maison a Bath,c.1482;Sally Lunn's Bun Shopc.1680, maintenant un salon du the et un musee.Sally Lunn etait une francaise qui a montre au boulanger comment cuire la brioche.La recette secret etait retrouve pendant des annees 1930 et les "buns"   sont fait dans la maison, mais , heureusement , pas dans la cuisine dans le photo suivant!



And being a tea shop, we had coffee and buns which were yummy!
Les brioches avec du beurreet canelle, yummy!

And so, back to the rainy streets. Small, narrow and interesting...

Eh bien, on retour aux rues dans la pluie. Petits, etroits et interessantes....
















Or wide, curved and grandiose. The Royal Crescent.

For Jane Austen fans, The Assembly Rooms.



Bath Abbey.


And for my two brothers, Peter and Martin , who spend a dispropportionate amount of time trying to photograph seagulls. These two were NOT camera shy! It was too wet to fly...

  2. Love the seaguls and at first thought that you were suggesting they resembled Uncles Peter and Martin. Which they do.
