A day trip to Bath, England, and some of the wonderful places to see and activities to do in this beautiful historic city. A DAY TRIP TO BATH First Stop: Let’s begin by taking a look at the namesake, the UNESCO World Heritage listed Roman Baths . Bath is a city founded by the Romans in the first century AD, named (unsurprisingly!) for the hot springs upon which the Romans built a bathing complex, and the Temple of Sulis Minerva. These ruins are some of the most important Roman remains north of the Alps, with the associated waters considered to hold health-giving properties, which led to it becoming England’s premier Spa town of the Georgian period. The hot waters at Bath contain many minerals which have long been considered beneficial, especially for the ill and the elderly. In Regency times people were encouraged to drink or ‘take the waters’ at the Pump Room , which – surprise! – pumped the water from below and delivered it via a beautiful stone fountain to the willing. Fans of Jane Austen films such as Persuasion and Northanger Abbey may remember seeing scenes set here. As well as being a place to drink to your health, it was also a place where one could promenade, to catch up on the latest gossip, to see and be seen. Today, one can still do the same! Second Stop: Just a few steps away is the magnificent Bath Abbey (look at its amazing front door!) Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th Century as a Benedictine monastery, which owes a lot of its current splendour to major restoration work in the mid-1800s, which means it is a little different to what Catherine and Jon would have seen, but its size and beauty is most apparent. This Grade 1 listed building is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture, and is noted for its breath-taking fan vaulting and stained glass. Definitely worth a visit. (And Aussie friends – see who is commemorated here? Captain Arthur Philip is buried in a village nearby) Third Stop: A walk past the shops and more beautiful 1700s buildings takes us to Queens Square (where I imagine Catherine’s Aunt Drusilla having an abode), and a short distance further along Gay Street brings us to the Jane Austen centre . Here one can learn more about this illustrious author, take a tour and discover fascinating facts about the Regency era, try on Regency attire or have a go at using a quill. You can even take tea with Mr. Darcy! The Jane Austen centre, Bath A portrait of Jane Austen Rules of etiquette A tea caddy - complete with lock! Regency wear, Jane Austen centre Regency wear, Jane Austen centre Bath newspaper clipping, Regency era Quill and ink, Jane Austen centre Tea with Mr Darcy 1/1 Fourth Stop: Next, we need to attend the location for tonight’s masquerade ball – the Upper Assembly Rooms . A walk up Milsom Steet takes us to the Assembly Rooms, where elegant society would assemble and mingle and perhaps engage in matchmaking. These rooms consist of the Ballroom, Octagonal room, tea rooms, and card rooms, and were the site of dances, concerts and lectures, and the site of many dramatic scenes for Austen heroines. I used these elegant 18th Century rooms for a number of pivotal scenes for Miss Winthrop – including a masquerade! Fifth Stop: Not far away is another of the iconic scenes of Bath – the Royal Crescent , a row of 30 terraced houses in a semicircle, and one of the most fabulous examples of Georgian architecture in Britain, and a prestige address with its views over the park opposite. Of course, the Royal Crescent is also famous for THAT scene in the 2007 TV film of Persuasion . Bath is built in the valley of the River Avon , with many steep streets and rows of terraced houses lining the surrounding hills. A walk along the river takes you across the beautiful Pulteney Bridge and up another hill to Sydney Gardens . This is another location mentioned in Austen and Georgette Heyer novels, and a place any true Austen aficionado should visit – and Austen-inspired authors should use. So, of course I had to set several scenes here, especially as the many trees and paths make it perfect for secret rendezvous. Well, today has been a big day, so it must be time to head back to our Bed & Breakfast, and get ready for tonight's Masquerade. Thank you for joining me - I hope you've had a fun visit in beautiful World Heritage-listed Bath! Bath has many iconic settings for those who love their Jane Austen films!

Franklin James might be a famous pro hockey player, but just because he's Cassie's older brother doesn't mean she wants to step into the limelight. She's too busy helping her dad run the ranch and managing the ranch's movie set, and negotiating with the giant egos of movie stars like Harrison Woods, who's supposed to be filming the new TV series of As The Heart Draws . And while his TV hero characters might be hugely popular, Harrison's real character seems anything but noble. Cassie is convinced he's hiding something, and that this diva's nice guy moments are just an act. Can she remind him what being a true hero is all about? Pinterest: A Cameo for a Cowgirl He knows this hardworking vet loves his dog, but can she find room in her heart for him, too? Veterinarian Jessie James loves her dog, loves her work, loves her family. She's got a lot on her plate, which means there's no time for a certain dishy teammate of her pro hockey-player brother, despite what others may think. Tom Chavez knows he's in the friend zone, but isn't one to give up too easily, especially when he's concerned that this vet might be working herself into an early grave. So when tragedy strikes the vet practice, he's going to do all he can to show her he's more than just a shoulder to cry on, and that he cares about more than her skills with his dog.

Poppy James is on the brink of attaining national fame, just like her friend and fellow dancer Bailey Donovan, when a blast from the past leads to a devastating injury. Now, instead of applause and acclaim, she’s tucked away in the confines of Three Creek Ranch, struggling to come to terms with a very different future. Who is she when she can no longer do what always gave her purpose? Jake Guillemette is used to being overshadowed by his NHL-playing younger brother. He’s made peace with that—mostly—after an encounter several years ago showed him that he really shouldn’t try to act like someone he’s not, as that only leads to heartache and regrets. When a job opportunity leads him to start afresh somewhere new, he never thought he’d run into the person who made him second-guess everything, but who ultimately led him to become a better man. Horrified, Poppy is desperate to keep their past a secret, and it takes some time to learn to trust this different version of the man she’s long loved to loathe. Can Jake win her trust and prove he’s changed? And will Poppy learn to trust God with all her future?

Years later, when her sports career is cut short by injury, she jumps at the chance to be one of Calgary's first female sports reporters.

She longs to prove herself, so when an opportunity comes along to interview newly traded defenseman Franklin James, she meets him. Or, more accurately, re-meets him. With disastrous effect. Growing up with three sisters means Franklin thought he knew something about women, but nothing had ever prepared him for the sparkling firecracker that is Hannah. And yet her vibrant personality holds a sweetness and soft side, something that draws his interest and protectiveness when an interview goes south. And there's something about her that's vaguely familiar... Can these two overcome prejudice and find a way forward? And what has faith - or the lack of - got to do with anything? Fire and Ice is a second-chance, forbidden romance and the first book in the new Northwest Ice hockey romance series, a sweet and swoony, slightly sporty, Christian contemporary romance series, perfect for fans of Becky Wade, Courtney Walsh, and Susan May Warren.

Hampton Hall’s new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter—all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend’s daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother—his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia’s world. Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother’s, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn’t supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison’s fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic singing voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible—he begins to care. But Lavinia’s aloof manner, society’s opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along.
