Snapshots of a journey to London Day 1/8

Up early as usual and after an uneventful bus ride we decide to eat something in one of the cafes adjacent to Bath bus station. We were greeted by this rather nice display of flowers in the main shopping centre. It is easy to spend quite a lot on breakfast.

It really was a warmth that went through your body. I woke up warm this morning, warmer than I would like.
