Angel Jem's City Cottage

The sight of people wandering around in regency costume doesn't make you laugh, just utter a wistful sigh that you really had the balcony necessary to carry off an empire line. I don't, really, not without the sort of engineering works that made the Victorians great. I was in Bath with my DH and we walked miles..... and ate chocolate cake, went to the Jane Austen centre, visited the Roman baths and ambled home via Worcester. A good weekend was had by all. I love Bath, it has such a wonderful coloured stone. We live in a sandstone area, so all our stone houses are red (which I love, too) and the visual stimulus of a different coloured stone very often makes you appreciate the houses that, at home, you just pass by in silence. It had a Christmas shop called December 25th .... look, they let me take photos to show you! The website isn't a shop, but it is a showcase and does have contact details so that you can visit.

I thnk I may have found a workable solution; the sansa fuze 4gb in red, with an extra card or something to double the capacity. And at least half the price. I know what I want for Christmas (101 days to go) and I just have to be sensible in asking for it. Please. So I found e-music had a 50 free downloads offer on... ok, so nothing really fashionable or pop, not a jot of Oasis or Girls Aloud, but I found Leigh Nash and Fleet Foxes so I'm happy. Sixpence none the richer , weird name, weird sound but good. And I have got my listening for December planned already. Tee hee. Now all I need is the said sansa fuze. 101 da...

Watching the leaves change colour is an annual delight, but am I the only one who thinks it is too soon?
