^ a view of bath abbey from the terrace of the roman baths

there is nothing quite as rejuvenating as a city. woody allen puts it best in his (masterpiece) film midnight in paris:

how’s anyone ever going to come up with a book or a painting or a symphony or a sculpture that can compete with a great city?  you can’t. when you look around, every street, every boulevard is its own special art form.

after several days of hard work (as you may have noticed), i needed a day of rest, and a day trip to bath was the perfect solution. relevance to my jane austen studies. home to an accredited fashion museum. thousands of years of history. swanky cafés. life. ★
