Oh (NOT) cool ... the hanging tree:- i didn't know that. Thanks Claudia. Its lovely walking with you through Bath again. My first ever job, obtained through a fabrication of total lies i must be honest, was at the Royal Crescent Hotel. They asked me if I had ever done Silver Service before and I assured them that I was well trained in Silver Service, (total lie), thus I had to learn the craft in double quick time. Got the job, can you believe it !! Though my total lack of experience failed me in the end I thank the management there for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. Fine Hotel - good memories.
Cor it blows my mind to think that back in the mid 1970s, my old dad had a 5 story town house in North Hampton Street, Bath. Back in the day, my father was a Geologist & Archaeologist and as fate would have it, he became CEO and Curator of the Roman Baths museum & Pump Rooms. He ran it for 17 years, retiring in 1977 to purchase a sixteenth century Inn in the Mendip Hills. Can't remember too much after that, (hic-up) LOL.
