We visited Bath years ago and although I enjoyed it, my undying memory is of sitting in the Sally Lund Tea Room and my (then) 3 year old tipping iced tea over the crouch of my white jeans.

I am intrigued about the new area. <br /><br />I've had trouble getting in to the Christmas spirit so far. Too busy doing other things. It still seems a little early somehow, I tend to feel Christmassy when december arrives. Maybe the V&H Fair will help change that.<br /><br />About the 3d photos at the V&H Fair, Alan will be very careful...;-)) Although you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm sure you'll look great, your lovely long curly locks will come out well in 3d! <br /><br />I will add that Alan will respect anyone not wanting to have their picture taken...<br />Have a great weekend Niki<br /><br />Take care<br />Isabelle xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-46478162571278606062009-11-06T21:24:02.843+00:002009-11-06T21:24:02.843+00:00I love window shopping, so thanks for the tour.

Having said that, I do have a lovely time every month or so when I meet up with a good pal and we visit every charity shop in Bath - it is a joy! We don't go near any shops selling 'new'. My friend is the best fellow Charity Shopper I know- we are perfect accomplices. <br />Your chair is gorgeous! I totally agree - give me a secondhand shop any day.... though the window display of sewing machines looks amazing!<br />Happy Weekend!<br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-79099369069300622182009-11-06T19:05:26.986+00:002009-11-06T19:05:26.986+00:00What a great idea with the sewing machines, love i...What a great idea with the sewing machines, love it!
