We stayed on our mooring in Bath today and it was a lot quieter with no “party boats”. We walked to Prior Park along a route that turned out to be very pleasant and shady arriving just in good time for a coffee and a flapjack.
Although we had seen it before we admired the Palladian bridge. It was built in 1775 and there are only three others in the world.


We then walked into town to do a little indulgent shopping including sharing a cheese free pizza at Pizza Express and sampling Belvoir’s cucumber and mint pressé.

Quite why Bath needed to be protected by so many umbrellas in this glorious sunshine we are not sure but it made an interesting spectacle.

Back at Oliver we investigated a piece of modern sculpture on the tow path just by our bow.

I imagine the umbrellas gave some welcome shade on such a sunny day!
