Hang on. Two of us from Bath in one day? Must be the lit fest that is on at the moment. Lots of us writers in Bath though. There are worse places to live.
Paul, that is quite the coincidence. I had forgotten the lit fest was on. Unfortuantely not doing anything in it this year. I've had the fortunate opportunity to hear one of my own pieces read out at a lit night a few years ago though, back before I had got something published. It was one of those moments that spurred me on through the struggle of finishing that first novel etc.
Hi Jess and Paul, I'm miles and miles away from both of you (Aberdeen)Welcome to our humble abode
i'm not even in the same country, but i read in the bath. . . does that count?
I wonder how many people in bath have baths...
Bath is lovely.Welcome Jess!

I'd hate to be around you on a warm day then ;P
Sorry, Elle, couldn't resist."
HAHA! :P We got a shower cubicle in years ago cause no-one used the bath in our house. I miss it though.
Hi Jess and Paul, welcome to our little haven. Hope you enjoy yourselves. Spend two years working in Chipping Sodbury, so I know the area very well. Beautiful doesn't begin to cover it.
Hi Jess and Paul, welcome to the madness!!! It's great, you'll love it!,
Hello Paul and Jess. Glad to meet you both (or in Paul's case, to meet you again!)
Chipping Sodbury? is that an actual place? Sound like you have censored yourself Geoff
Theres some stranger names than that around Jud!
Ok - lets have a bath then Karl...

Hi folks, my name is Prudence MacLeod. I am a spiritual seeker, dog trainer, official Reiki Master and Interior designer, who has turned her hand to writing. I am also an avid chess player, not a great one, but an avid one. I bake, I build, I knit, and I tell great stories.I have roamed far and wide for over sixty years in this realm, and I have seen much; some I wish I had not, and a great deal that I would love to see again. Some days I feel like Bilbo Baggins, for I have been there and come back again. No, I haven't written a book about my wanderings, at least not yet, but much I have experienced, observed, learned, surmised, or imagined, is woven into the tales I have written.
I also spend way too much time reading fantasy, Y/A, Sci-fi, Urban Fantasy, etc. If it is printed I'll probably read it sooner or later.
Folks, if you take the time to write a review for me, please leave me a way to contact you so I can thank you properly. If you prefer to remain anonymous, then let me thank you right now. Thanks!!
Hi Paul,Jess and Prudence welcome!
Hey folks. Hope everybody is ready for a great weekend.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play?
I have had that running through my head since Prudence posted!
Yeah, I know Prudence. Sorry. I tried to resist, honest! But it is a lovely song, isn't it?
There are some beautiful songs about Simon........
And a pretty nifty one about a highwayman. :)
There are some beautiful songs by Simon too. (Paul Simon that is)
Hmmm Gerry Rafferty. I have listened to him for a while...
Thank you for the welcome everyone and Hi Prudence.I do indeed have a Bath as well as live in Bath though I generally prefer showers. I get bored just laying in a Bath and I don't like to read while in one, I'm too clumsy.
Dave had the Grateful Dead on earlier.I was wishing I was...

I'll be wanting you to sing that down the Indian next weekend. Better start practicing.

Especially if you've got a Kindle. Books don't like water, but Kindles REALLY don't like it. :)
I was really amused when I got my new Kindle to see a whole section in the guide on how to dry out the little beauties... lol!BTW, I live in Spaxton, a little village just outside Bridgwater, and my team covers Bath and Chipping Sodbury. We do flood modelling and risk assessments. Aren't we lucky living in this part of the UK :) (smug gloat!)
Yeah Kindle and water are not a happy pair so I don't risk it. I love my kindle too much.I do consider myself very lucky. I like to travel but I always look forward to coming home again with a place like Bath to come back to.
you have to get them a coat so that if they do fall in the water, they don't drown.
Like a diver's wet suit? great idea. :)
Does the Kindle Fire go out if you drop it in water?
I've just taken my son down to stay with a friend in Plynouth for a few days. He's been in Canada for 6 years so he's happy to be home=UK and link up with friends again. I think Plymouth is a cracking city, but it's good to be home in my little village after just half a day away lol!
Ah yes, there's no place like home.
As Granny Weatherwax said - there are lots of places like home but only one of them is where you live!
Now she and Nanny Ogg are forces to contend with. They don't need legislation for 'equal rites' lol!

I'll be having a bath tonight - can you get it together in 2 and a half hours?

I'm Jess, I'm a reader/writer/pen monkey and still getting the hang of goodreads so I thought I'd come find some people my side fo the pond.
I live in Bath and love it. I do honestly think it's one of the most beautiful cities and can understand why Jane Austen found it difficult to write here.
I'm a relatively new published author with the small press Red Feather Writing and write in all sorts of genres, anything with some good adventure to it.
I love reading and I'm going back through some of the classics at the moment. I even managed to make it through the Count of Monte Cristo - not for the light reader.
Mostly I just like to be social wherever I can find people. Working at home writing all day can be a lonely business and people on computers in other places can make it feel less lonely.
