This week Ariel and I fawned over a little trojan horse-style B&B somewhere in Belgium. It looks like it's the mobile home of a band of mysterious, roguish, magical minstrels. I look at its starry night bedroom and twisted-wood lounges and sigh.

Looking up at Bath Abbey, from the upper level of the Great Bath in Bath's Roman Baths. Bath’s Roman Baths were built between the first and fifth centuries to take advantage of the natural hot springs of Aquae Sulis – a phenomenon unique in Britain. The hot spring became the heart of the ancient city, with rich and poor taking in the waters in large pools that are remarkably well preserved today. The Sacred Spring still bubbles up water from deep beneath the surface, though the temple to local deity Sulis Minerva which was built around it is no longer there. What is there are the Great Bath, restored in the 19th century and with statues of Roman figures looking down upon the waters from the balcony above, the Circular Bath where bathers cooled off and the 12th century King’s Bath (built on top of the spring) – the complete structure demonstrating the historical span of the buildings. The baths are the best preserved ancient baths and temple complex in northern Europe and the museum attached displays numerous artefacts recovered from the site. Bath Abbey dates back to the end of the 11th century – when Bishop John transferred his seat from Wells, demolished the city’s Saxon Abbey and replaced it with a Norman Cathedral that doubled as the church of the monastery – but there were religious buildings on the same site for many hundreds of years before. Much of the work was carried out by Bishop Oliver King in the late 15th century. The bishop was said to have had a vision of angles ascending and descending a ladder during his visit to Bath in 1499 and the west front depicts that vision. The monastery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539, but the church itself was saved and in 1574 Queen Elizabeth I promoted its restoration, which was completed by 1611. Wear and tear meant it was restored once more by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s and again in the late 20th century, more damage having been inflicted by bombing during the Second World War.
