Bath: On either side of the entrance to the Abbey Church at Bath, angels climb or descend Jacob's Ladder. The Roman baths of Aquae Sulis are just to the right of the Abbey.

I went there in 2005, and pictures can be found at http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b257/Lucelucy/Revolutions/#!cpZZ3QQtppZZ20.

This time I was in Bath to change trains and run errands. I found a T-Mobile store to provide me with a British sim card and phone number. My car rental was out of Bath. And of course, I always wander about wondering what Jane Austen would have thought of modern life.


This little lady is called Miss Temperance. She is pouring out a jug of water, and is backed up in that endeavor by Holy Mother Church on the one hand and Sulis, the Celtic goddess of the springs, on the other.








Bath was inundated with the decor theme of painted lions as public art. This one was in a bookstore window.











The chia pet lion was in the park.

And so was Mozart. All in all, it was a lovely day. Jane would have liked it.
