My Bath Mini Break

Mini break in the beautiful city of Bath, Somerset in England.

Every year my friend and I go on a mini hotel Spa break. This year we decided to explore Bath in Somerset, England. Bath is named after its ancient Roman Baths. It is the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in.

My Ultimate DIY Garden Project: Building a Retreat

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

My most ambitious DIY project has to be my garden structure. I knew nothing about woodwork, joints, suitable materials etc. but hey ho… I enjoy a challenge. 🤪

Initially, I just wanted a cover for my inflatable hot tub. I built a wooden frame. I placed a canvas roof on top, which I already had from an old metal gazebo I once had. Great…but then I decided to lay decking for my hot tub to sit on.

Perfect…it looked pretty and done the job. Until the canvas roof collapsed in high winds. Hence, I decided to construct a roof. Yes, I could have put a sloping roof on, but no, I wanted an apex roof.

Spending many hours researching different roof types, angles, shapes, materials, and so forth. I painstakingly constructed my little garden sanctuary. ‘Sara’s Schloss’

My perfect garden retreat…’Sara’s Schloss’

Hmm….what will my next DIY project be? 🤔

Happy Hump Day!

(13) Where Was I ?

This City is situated on the South West coast of the Island, and lies on the Mediterranean coast. It is the fourth largest City in the country. There is the older part which contained a famous temple of Aphrodite…the legendary site where Aphrodite was born from the sea foam. The New part, became the administrative capital of the whole Island in Roman times.

Enjoy your visit…

The Architectural Marvels of a UNESCO Capital City

(10) Where Was I ?

It is a Capital City, and the old part was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The city lies on a bay with a protected harbour.

It is a place where you dance the salsa, drink mojitos, and smoke the odd cigar or two. The city is renowned for its literature, architecture, politics, folklore, music, and of course, the Rum!

Enjoy your visit to this vibrant City.
