I had a little mini break last week in Bath with my friend Charlotte. We spent a lot of time walking around in the drizzle and visited the
Fashion Museum,
VV Rouleaux ribbon shop, the indoor
Guildhall Market and an amazing place called
Bayntun's booksellers. This was the last stop of our stay and we got an impromptu tour in the workshop where they repair and restore old books in the traditional way. It was such a rare treat and we got the chance to see some really interesting old machinery and tools for sewing books, binding and covering them.
We also ate lots of nice food at the
Green Bird Cafe,
The Green Rocket and the
Landrace Bakery and I also got some time to do a little drawing and painting too!
Overall, a lovely little Bath adventure.

Great photos, love that watercolour. I've been meaning to head back to Bath and visit the fashion museum, do you think it is a museum worth visiting?
