The PENguin Blog



The PENguin's Lament

Confession: I miss the blog. I miss doing stuff and then coming back, analysing, discussing and sharing; and then, on occasion, hearing back from someone about their response.

Don't get me wrong I also miss England, Germany, friends and travel. But I miss the blog.

So, at the risk of posting totally banal, really bloggy -"today my cat caught a bird "- sort of stuff I'm gonna try to post something of interest to someone somewhere each week (more often if possible). It may not always be either travel or pen related but I will try to do it at least once a week and make it as interesting as my humble existence permits. So here goes.

As always, let me know how I'm doing. E-mail works best, but I do check for comments.

Parting Shots

Saturday we went, for the last time, to the Farmers market and got some nice fresh stuff for dinner. We’d talked about going out, but I wanted something from the market.

After dinner we took a last stroll through the city, camera in hand.

Although a World Heritage City, Bath continues to build and renovate the new railway station is nearly complete as is the Southgate Shopping complex
Abbey Gate

Pulteney Bridge and the weir
Looking up Pulteney Street
Some random street scenes


We were able to see a couple of productions at the Theatre Royal complex, shown here
Of course, the Abbey. One of the great joys of the stay was to be able to look out on its tower from our lounge. This is the joy of Bath stone, what it does with the light.
Our flat from across the Avon. We were on the third floor, at the bottom of the protruding bay window. We coull look down on the river.

I have already let one of my colleagues know that we would be interested in leading the three week program to Bath in summer 2011. So it may not be farewell so much as au revoir, Bath.
