Bath, Glasses and the weekend

Am back from Bath with Gordon. We had a wonderful time. We arrived at 10 yesterday and luckily we were able to check into the hotel straight away. It was a great guesthouse -room was a bit small but it was clean, the bed was comfy and the ensuite was brand new. It was 5 mins walk from bath which was great.We decided first to go to the Theatre Royal to see what was on that evening and managed to get tickets for 42 nd street which was being performed by the Bath Light Opera company. Then we started our exploration of Bath First we went to The Pump room where we had hot chocolate and toasted bath buns. They gave us a table right at the front next to a three piece chamber orchestra that was playing wonderful music. It was like eating somewhere where you would imagine the people of Pride and Prejudice eating -so grand and elegant. Then we went into the roman baths which was fascintating and then round Bath Abbey. Lunch was at Sally Lunns which is the oldest house in Bath and we ate traditional Sally Lunn buns.I had a bowl of soup and a bun and Gordon had welsh rarebit on a sally lunn bun. We also ventured into the basement of the house to the kitchen museum and bought some sally lunns to take home, We then wandered around the shops and bought a present for Chris and also some christmas presents. We then went to the Museum of Costume. This was wonderful full of clothing from the past. Then back to the room as I was exhausted so needed to rest. On the way back to the hotel we walked through the botanic gardens and looked at the Royal Circus (a crescent of georgian houses). After a couple of hours rest i felt better so we went out for a wonderful 3 course meal. I had scallops with crisp bacon followed by a Loin of gloucester Old spot pork served with mashed potatoes, green beans, honey parsnips and a port jus. Pudding for me was passionfruit creme brulee. It was wonderful -beautifully cooked. Gordon had half a wood pigeon on a parsnip puree with a red wine dressing. His main course was wild boar sausages on a a honey and mustard champ. His pudding was apple and rhubarb crumble. We both had wine during the meal and coffee to finish. Delicious!. Then across to the theatre. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and the principles in particular where outstanding.
This morning we had a wonderful cooked breakfast before coming home. It was great to get away with Gordon. In our busy life we dont always have a lot of time to spend with each other so I enjoyed this the most. We had some lovely meals and enjoyed eploring a city that we both had never been to before. Its definately something that we need to do again.
Theres an hour to go before we pick up Chris from cub camp. I hope that he has had a nice time. I have missed him so much -when we dropped him off on friday i cried all the way home.Because I am at home so much we have got so close and I miss him so much when he is not around -the house seems so quiet and empty
He was upset before he went to cub camp. Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that he has been squinting to watch the television and complaining about headaches. I managed to get him an emergency appointment on friday and after a couple of tests the optician has said that he needs to wear glasses. He was upset and is worried about kids bullying him. I am upset for him too as I know how tough wearing glasses is especially for kids. I am glad its been sorted though as it will stop his headaches and in particular he will be able to see the board properly at school.
Off to collect him now -Can't wait to give him a big hug. I will report back later on how he has got on!
