I took the park and ride into Bath from OddDown, the service is regular and made a change. The town was heaving, it was running an Autumn Fair, with tents and stalls lining Milsom Street, so it was manic.
I was meeting my friend Rob for lunch at Temptation Indian restaurant. I was early, I wanted to search for things to take back.
However all the walking about made me a bit peckish. I decided on a breakfast at Cote restaurant just off of Broad Street. I can’t remember going there before, so another first.
I decided on eggs Benedict and coffee. The staff were pleasant and attentive, the boss lady has an impressive collection of tattoos on her arms, one climbing up her neck, made her look a bit sinister. I was glad she didn’t serve me, neck tattoos give me the creeps.
I continued my quest for a custard slice. After checking out Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, I still had no joy, I must have tried all the bakers in the town to no avail. The conclusion, Custard Slices are extinct.
After lunch Rob always likes a coffee at his favourite place Colonna and Smalls speciality coffee, near Queen’s square. A quaint little place with a varied coffee range. Rob, as always strikes up a conversation with a chap on the table we joined. Within a short time they were sharing pictures on their phones. He was a fine looking gentleman with a fabulously shaped and trimmed beard unlike Robs who’s a bit bushy and wild.
After all that excitement, it was back on the bus, then get the car then drive to the dogs for feeding time.
