My wife and I have just had a very pleasant couple of days in Bath, doing all of the tourist things. It was good to visit the Jane Austen Centre at last. if truth be told, I was a bit disappointed by it -- it's beginning to look a bit seedy and old-fashioned, and could do with some more modern interpretive displays. But the staff were very friendly, and there was plenty of useful info there -- and a nice little shop. The high point of our visit was the visit to the tea room upstairs -- which is excellent. My wife enjoyed Mr Darcy's toasted sandwich, and I enjoyed the obligatory cream tea, with an excellent scone and clotted cream washed down by a pot of Miss Austen's tea blend. I liked it -- but it was a bit too earthy for Inger's taste........
