Shub!

So you might think we're strange (and you might be right) but we drove through Box today on the way to Bath and thought there should be a town called Shub! And we wouldn't be terribly surprised given some of the place names around here.

One of my favourite things about tripping around like this is that we can just take unexpected detours and they somtimes turn out to be the best things that we visit. Today we turned off the main road following a tiny wee signpost that said "Roman Villa". We kinda were expecting some ruined walls in the middle of a field or something but it turned out to be one of the largest Romano-British ruins. And we got to drive down the cute little laneways admiring the scenery. The ruins were discovered by Victorians who built little rooves over the roman walls and mosaics to protect them. They also built a hunting lodge on the site aswell!



Now we are in Bath and we just came back from doing a walking tour around the town centre. No history involved though as this was a comedy walk. It was really funny including a escapologist stuffed rabbit called Stuart (or Stew for short) and combined a nights entertainment with a scenic walk around beautiful Bath.
