Lovely places you visited - I love the Museum at Bath and those books you found in the library are amazing I am going to tell another blogger who I know will love them in case she isn't a follower. Hope school will go well for him when he goes back and that he won't feel he's missed out too much for those other boys won't have had special tiume with their mums will they?Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-4519207942430530542014-09-14T20:17:57.795+01:002014-09-14T20:17:57.795+01:00The book sculptures were fantastic!

A gift given to both of you.<br />Wishing you a lovely weekend and many thanks for showing me places I've never been to, and the beautiful art from books.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245099394863979981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-32821387627146796672014-09-12T15:02:10.591+01:002014-09-12T15:02:10.591+01:00Lovely post and terrific photos.

I would have kept mine off school too. Bath is one of my most favourite places in the world. If we didn't live here I would want to live there. I adore the paper art. It's just amazing. And I have written down the Secret Garden quote.

I've been to Bath a few times but have never been to the American Museum; it's on my 'Places to Visit' list. I love the look and name of your Windfall Jelly and can definitely recommend Lakeland's jelly strainer - it looks like a bit like a red, plastic rocket but does the job a treat.
