this one was too good to leave out. it is our afternoon tea at the jane austen centre. more about that below. it more properly belongs in my section eating aour way around britain
this one's for you joel. our time in the roman baths exhibition was really absorbing. the romans' engineering feats and commitment to leisure were fascinating. it must have been an amazing complex in its day
i learned about doric, corinthian and ionic columns in high school and thought about them again in ephesus where their features were explained there. here in bath it was pointed out in our tour that the famous royal crescent buildings also feature the 3 classifications of classical columns. doric on the ground, corinthinan on the next level and ionic on the top level. or is it the other way around? still trying to get them straight in my head. as you can see spring is trying to break through
taking the Mr D'arcy special in the regency tea rooms at the jane austen centre in bath. tea consisted of cheese and cucumber sandwiches(crusts off), scones with jam and cream and slices of cake. apparently a typical recreational day in bath was staged in meals. there was morning coffee, lunch, high tea, a 6-course dinner and then a lavish supper. the day finished araound 11 pm and then you were ready to take the waters again by 6 in the morning. leisure was a rigorous regime in those days
