Today started with brunch and, this afternoon, there was the offer of either ice skating or the pantomime. I turned both of those down – for fairly obvious reasons – and instead went to Prior Park (https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/bath-bristol/prior-park-landscape-garden) which is uphill from here. In Bath, most things are uphill.

This is a landscape garden built in the 18C by Ralph Allen, one of the major developers of Bath and the man who saw the potential of Bath Stone. His house is still there, at the top of the hill, but is a school and not open to the public.

Normally one would take the bus up to the top of the garden and then walk down. As the buses weren’t running (and the top of the hill was invisible because of fog) I walked up and down.

I am off home in the morning (by bus as the trains are not running). I hope you have enjoyed this interlude.
