A Day in Bath

As far as British cities go, Bath has to be one of most beautiful ones that I have visited. This weekend, on a not so nice day weather wise, we visited the city for the day.

If you are not familiar with Bath, there are various historic and charming places to see, not forgetting our first stop of the day, the Roman Baths.

The Roman Baths is a preservation site of the unique spas and thermal springs that opened in the late 19th century. Although I'm not the biggest history fanatic, the intricate design and protection of this attraction is a perfect place to go. With an audio guide provided to aid you around the tour, you are guaranteed to leave full of new, fascinating knowledge which is a part of the cities most prevalent history. For more information on the Baths, take a look at the website here.


After a couple of hours there in the morning, we headed up the hill to some up-market areas of the city, the Royal Crescent and the Circus. The Royal Crescent is a row of many Georgian terraced houses, built in the 18th century. Similarly, the Circus is also of the same style and gains its name from its oval shape. Below are some of my panoramic phone photos of the areas.


For lunch, as referred to in my Hannah Loves - January, we went to Bath's Miller and Carter Steakhouse, which is located on Milsom Street. Like before, I had the steak fritze from their set lunch menu, which I cannot complain about once again. This time we had pudding of Silverpail ice cream and a homemade cookie (yum). I didn't take a photo of my food this time (shock) but I can assure you the meal was just as delicious as it sounds.

As you can imagine, after a busy morning and a very filling lunch, we were pretty tired and headed back down the hill, popping into a few of the array of shops that the city has to offer on the way. So, if you ever find yourself in the city or nearby, maybe you'd fancy checking out some of the places I have mentioned. 

Love,

Hello September - University "Resolutions"

Over the past few weeks, I have been pretty slack with my blog that I barely even began. Since then I have worked a lot, spent time with a lot of lovely people, whilst missing others and had a birthday. This isn't me making excuses to myself as I should remind myself that this blog is a space where I can document my own experiences etc in my own time. It's a hobby, so it should be enjoyable and not forced! With just over a week before I move back to university and the almost changing of the seasons, there are a few little things I want to change in my own world. These are just areas I would like to "alter", let's say.  Wear the clothes I like  I occasionally (= quite a bit of the time) stop myself from buying or wearing certain clothes because I care too much about what other people think. I worry that I'll be too overdressed, not blend in with what the people I'm with are wearing or even look a bit dressed down cause I haven't dressed up as...

Hannah Loves - September

Image
Autumn is here and I have been (very) slowly getting back into my routine at university. When travelling to London for the weekend I thought I should spend my time wisely and plan a new post. So, as similarly shown in my  June edition , here are a few things that I have been loving throughout September.  Cinnamon Buns Probably not what you first expected to read, but for the past couple of weeks these have been my go-to sweet treat. With the convenience of living so close to somewhere that sells them, it has proven quite difficult for my housemate and I to resist. They have been just what I need with a cup of tea for a bit of motivation or when I have needed a little pick me up. I definitely need to have a go at baking them myself! Hunted My sister particularly raved about the first series of this Channel 4 show. Currently, two episodes of the second series have been aired and now I wish I had the time to binge watch the first! The show follows pairs of ordin...

Favourite Bakes - Lemon Drizzle Cake

Image
Baking has been a hobby of mine for many years now and has particularly been inspired by the TV show, "The Great British Bake Off" (which I cannot wait to start again later this summer!). One of the nation's favourite bakers, Mary Berry, has written many delicious recipes in her cookbooks, some of which are also available on line. My first favourite bake is her lemon drizzle cake. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon baking with one of my best friends, Clarice, a baker in her own right, and this was our first task! If you any level of a sweet tooth you'll love this bake.  This recipe is actually for a traybake style cake,  which features in Mary's book  Simple Cakes . The full set of ingredients for the bake are butter/cooking margarine, self raising flour, caster sugar, baking power, eggs, granulated sugar and the zest and juices of two lemons.  All of the ingredients apart from the lemon juice and granulated sugar are mixed together, be sure to siev...
