I believe some people go about 'collecting' them on camera - in interesting one, especially if it goes with finding out the history behind the signs.<br /><br />Sharon, I'm the same. I used to spend hours in the bath with a good book and, as a young adult, a glass (or two) of wine, but once the children came, that stopped. Then I went back to teaching and long baths remained a distant memory. Now I just don't fancy them - there's always something else to do!<br />Thanks for the info about ST Botolph's Priory - I will put it on the list of things to do! :-)<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-75580528282146681002018-09-23T02:04:31.766+01:002018-09-23T02:04:31.766+01:00Joy, I forgot to mention on your post about Colche...Joy, I forgot to mention on your post about Colchester that St.Botolph's Priory might be of interest to you too. It's in the town centre, but not very well sign posted. If you google it you could find directions. Not as good as the castle, but nice photos and worth a walk around. I found it quite lovely.

Now it seems more in and out lol. <br /><br />I love seeing your adventures of where you've been to and the photos - reminds me of home! Hope you enjoy your weekend.

I soon discovered that I had run out of enthusiasm by the time the bath was filled. I can be in and out of the shower in under 5 minutes.
