The Royal Crescent

I have to say that a favourite part of living the expat life in England is the many gardens through out the cities.  The Brits really know how to make use of small places.  It is nice to know that even if the countryside is a bit far out of reach by foot, theres a nearby park just waiting for you to enjoy during your lunch hour.  There are several great ones in in Bath and amongst those must see sights is the Royal Crescent.  So of course when my mum came to visit we made sure to arrange a photo op in front of it.  When ever the day is nice you can find the lawn dotted with locals enjoying their lunch, friends chatting up after work, and tourists posing for their photographs.  We chose this as our meeting place before our picnic and had a game of frisbee with the boys.  While I brought my heart shaped umbrella just in case, we had a lovely day of sunshine with no rain. 


Q: Are there nice parks or gardens where you live?

  1. Oh my goodness! Your umbrella is out of this world! Where did you get it? I've always wanted to go to Bath (since I got my hot little hands on Jane Austen way back) and you have no idea how much I love your photography posts. Looks like a great day with the fam and your mom is adorable. :)

  2. What a cool umbrella!


    And I must say European cities do parks a million times better than their American counterparts.

  4. Love these photos, the umbrella, and just the cuteness happening here! And also: that one shot with the slanted houses in the background reminds me of San Francisco!

  6. Thank you so much Crystal, it was a gift from my friends at Girl Gone International. I did not even know they came in heart shapes! I love it! I hope you get to come to Bath, I'm loving it with doing the Jane Austen Book Club this year.

  9. Doesn't it? That is what I thought too! I sometimes make the mistake of snapping a photo too quickly and having my horizon a bit helter skelter when photographing my sons (you have to be quick to get them). So when I saw this initially I thought...man, I have to fix it. But then realised we were on a slope and then thought of San Fran too! x

  10. Thank you so much Andi! I love spending time with my boys. Today we went out and had a bbq and got some cute ones of the boys 'not' playing cricket but using the bat and wickets as war instruments in some battle scene. They keep me laughing.

  11. I'm totally googling Girl Gone International THIS VERY SECOND and how could a Jane Austen lover NOT enjoy Bath? I feel like it's the holy grail for Austen fans...that and Darcy's underoos.
