Day1: Bath- Tadwick Farm for shut eye
At the end of the day, ££ won over niceties. After all that c**p(ownmaking) on taking Victoria hire because the man at the reception is a gentleman and friendly, a friend recommended 'Enterprise'. Enterprise offered a better deal than V.Hire. So instead of paying £65 from Saturday to Monday, got a better price at £45 from Friday to Monday. Plus, Enterprise can pick u up at your choice of location and bring you to their office to get the car at no cost. Cool. We got a Tanned Mettalic Vauxhall Corsa.
Decided on heading to Bath. Started out late after preparing for breakfast cum lunch cum dinner of fried rice and fried eggs- Visitor's idea. Stopped for awhile at the office to make last minute research for the trip. Reached the outskirts of Bath around mid-day. Was driving on the main road towards the city centre, thinking of finding a B&B in town when we passed by a sign that says 'B&B- single track road'...we like intriguing signs and agreed to check out the place! The main road that we were on was a bit winding and it was on top of a hilly plain. There were too many fast cars on the road that we had to drive on before making a careful U turn. At the curb of the road, before making that turn, there was a huge black blanket of cloud hovering above the sky. It seemed to disperse rain what looked like water sprinklers from afar (truly beautiful- SUbhanAllah).
Entered the single beaten track, but made a couple of stops of vogue moments. Who could resist taking pix with backdrop of rolling hills and farmhouses in between the cleavage of the valley, set far apart from each other.
Drove on until we reached Tadwick Farm. We were welcomed by two big dogs that Irene (the Missus of the farm) later assured us that they are just babies. I'm sure they are, with a height up to my waist on all fours! She looked a bit hesitant when we asked if there were any available room for three, hopefully not due to the fact that we wear scarves. But we got in finally. The price was reasonable at £65 for three. We had two adjacent windows at the corner, one overlooking vast sloppy hilly green and the other facing two horses grazing (of which k.TT conveniently called Brownie and Blackie for obvious reasons). It was an en-suite room, elegantly but simply styled.
After namaz, we got back in the car and set off for Bath.
