Aquae Sulis...aka Bath, has to be one of my top 10 places in the whole of the United Kingdom to visit. I was lucky enough to have been born & bred within 12 miles from this amazing georgian city. The architecture is fantastic, attracting tourists worldwide, which to be honest can be a pain, when all you want to do is pop into M & S quickly or just have a quiet few hours in pleasant surroundings. I also frequent the famous Royal Mineral Hospital there too, years ago peaople with Arthritic and Rheumatic conditions used to go there to bathe in the mineral waters. The same work and care is given at the hospital, but today there is a hydro pool with cleaner water! In this LO you can see a couple photos taken in Bath
The bridge in the top photo is Pulteney Bridge & the weir. The bridge is one of only four bridges in the world with shops across the full span on both sides. Two of the others, can be seen in Florence and Venice.
The shops on the bridge include a flower shop, antique map shop, and juice bar.
The other photo is the world famous Roman Baths, this one is known as the Great Bath. The Romans believed that bathing in the waters were healthy, because of the minerals. Not something that I would have wanted to try, it tastes disgusting and smelt even worse.
The water remains warm as it bubbles up fromhot springs, because the city of Bath is built on an extinct volcano!
Sorry, but I did say I loved the place :)

The next LO is of my grandaughter Chloe, it was taken as her first official school photo!
I am also entering this LO as my Arty Girlz make, where we were asked to use a button!
Both of these LOs have been made using January's ScrapaGoGo Kit
