A rainy, grey Saturday required a trilby hat for a day of shopping and lunching in Bath. I took the train, so we could have lunchtime wine, and came back with some new discoveries, some things for my wishlist and having had some delicious Spanish food.
Anthropologie
I liked Anthropologie when I lived in the US, and still follow their social media feeds because their stuff is so nice. It was great to walk through their store in Bath and look at all the things. I have been on a bit of a mission to sort out our ensuite, so went looking for trinket boxes. Everything thing I looked at though, turned out to be a candle! I ended up buying a grey trinket dish, a bit like a mushroom, to hold rings, (on sale for £4.95) and a trio of winter scented Mistral Soaps on sale for £8.
Hay
This has to be my favourite discovery of the day. Hay is a Danish design store which aims to highlight Danish designers and furniture makers. I could have purchased so much stuff in here! The back room is perfect if you are designing an office (what a coincidence…I am…) and I could have purchased so many things in here! I bought one of the artist’s hands to use to hold the car keys, which I am always losing!
This place comes highly recommended if you read any of the restaurant guides to Bath that you find online. It’s small, friendly and in the wind and rain of yesterday, was a welcome port in a storm.
First, the wine! A glass of the Spanish ‘Vega Piedra’ Rioja and the Spanish Borsao Rosado rose.
Then the delicious food! We had the Pan Fried Chorizo and Bread then four tapas
1. Crispy Potatoes with Spicy Peppers and Paprika
2. Mushroom and Roasted Vegetable Cannelloni with Caerphilly Creme Fraiche
3. Crispy Halloumi Cheese
4. Harissa Honey Chicken Thigh with Feta Mash
