we couldn't leave bath without a visit to
the costume museum
to soak up the details of old
and stumbled upon another unplanned treat ...
an exhibition of designs by "bill gibb"
whose work i have long admired, simply stunning
later we found the 13th century st marys church in berkeley
with medieval wall paintings that would once have glowed
and jeweled colours in its stained glass
painted bright by the sun's rays
and there just outside
the resting place of the very last jester in england
a trove of treasures we unearthed on our travels

complete with a visit to see my eldestall in all we had a wonderful time away
