Bath time...

I heard about this "magical" Christmas market out in Bath from friends here in Bristol and I HAD to check it out. Only a 15 minute train ride away, it's was an easy day trip! 


The market was definitely amazing... I ate traditional English sausage, drank mulled wine (a fantastic Christmas treat), visited the ruins of the Roman baths, as well as the Bath Abbey and took a bath myself at the Thermea Spa that has naturally heated (from the last remaining hot spring in England) pools.


One of these pools was located on the roof which overlooked an incredible snow dusted English countryside! It felt so good to hang out in a warm pool with with the FREEEEZING wind whipping across your face, it was amazing!




Here are a few photos of my favorite moments from throughout the day (sorry, none from inside the spa as it was a little difficult to take the camera into the steam room). All the market people were so lovely and despite being extremely cold conditions all day long, they were all fantastically friendly... it really warmed me up!

I could do this day all over again tomorrow but I can probably wait a month or so... and next time I'm going to take friends with me!


Loves,

PS. A little concerned about getting to Scotland next weekend as the Edinburgh airport was closed today due to snowy conditions!
