Bath needs to up its game in terms of exotic animals roaming the streets.

It’ll never not be weird seeing peacocks sauntering along in Corsham.

The whisky gods whispered, ‘pop into Independent Spirit’, and lo and behold, I snagged their last #MysteryMalt bottle of series 3. Like Charlie Bucket unwrapping a Wonka Bar, I peeled off the cap to reveal... a very fine #Tobermory 24YO @indiespiritbath.bsky.social @dornochdistillery.bsky.social

Who’s going to brave the waters? 🌊

Exciting to see who takes over this potential gem.

Does anyone have any recommendations for campervan hire places (preferably in or around Bath)?

Twelve quid for Bob Dylan’s Desire vinyl seems reasonable.

Ahh, look, a stamp inside which shows the provenance.

I wonder if it will add any value.

Oh!

The Salt Path is every bit as enthralling as the book, in no small part thanks to Gillian Anderson’s superlative performance as @raynorwinn.bsky.social. She succinctly nails the profound love, loss, despair & hope.

And what a showreel for the South West.

Bring on The Wild Silence!

Think I’ve found the culprit of the annoying ticking sound around the fireplace that’s been driving me mad for months: tanbark borers. 5 or 6 appear in the window daily.

There seems to be a very lost quail walking near St Matthew’s Place in Widcombe. Has anyone lost one?

Found myself sneezing a lot this afternoon, and it was only at night when I was walking with a flashlight that I could see why! A crazy amount of what I assume is pollen.

My first housemartin of the year, battling the breeze over the Batheaston toll bridge.

Best pub in Bath according to the Torygraph.

The Old Green Tree in #Bath

It’s a good old-fashioned boozer but not even a top 5 IMO

Alcohol at breakfast time - and not in a brown paper bag kinda way - don’t mind if I do.

The Danes certainly know how to start the day! It’s lovely in coffee, porridge or neat as a winter warmer!

At the bottom of Catherine Hill in #Frome you’ll find the wonderful Sherlock & Pages bookshop - their curation is second to none - almost as if they’ve stocked every book I want to read!

And don’t forget to get your book stamped - provenance! 📚 📕
