The King of Wessex - Bath

Visited 10th December 2011.

Yesterday was the company Christmas party and they had kindly put myself and Mrs Sinner up in a very nice hotel in the Cotsworlds. We had a great evening and the breakfast this morning wasn't to bad either. We have arranged to meet up with some friends in Newbury tonight so we have to decide whether to drive home, almost passing through Newbury and then drive back or find something else to do to pass the day... Hmm, a little Christmas shopping in Bath maybe?
We hadn't been to Bath for many years and the one thing I remembered about it was that it was not the most car friendliest of cities. As it turned out it has got worse, but we eventually managed to find somewhere to park only about half a mile away from our target 'spoons. A bit of a walk later and we are sat down with a pint of Pepsi for me and a large latte for Mrs S. The pub was one of the narrow but long pubs with some booths along the right hand side and some purple mood lighting in the ceiling. It was pretty busy but we got served quickly  and with a friendly smile. We didn't stay to long as Mrs S was keen to take a look around the city, which was heaving with people. We found the Christmas market and bought a few small items before heading back to the car. We still had a busy day ahead of us, lots of pubs to visit before meeting our friends in Newbury .
