Delilah in Bath

Delilah had loved the Dales, but she was eager to check out her next city of Bath.

When she arrived at the Train Station she walked past the River Avon and the Pulteney Bridge on the way to her hotel. It was absolutely beautiful.




She relaxed in her hotel that night, but the next morning would be a busy day for her.



She headed to Stonehenge first thing in the morning.





She was even thinking about buying a portrait of Stonehenge for her house, but then decided it was a tad to big.



Before heading back to Bath she decided to take a detour through the famous town of Lacock. Lacock was where many movies like Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice had been filmed, and TV shows like Downton Abbey.



Lacock has a beautiful church dedicated to St. Cyriac. There are only two churches in the world dedicated to him!




There had been many a traffic jam on the way back to Bath though, and she arrived late in the afternoon.



She decided just to hang in her bedroom that night (it was hot) because tomorrow she would be exploring Bath!



The next morning she woke up, had breakfast, and headed straight to the Roman baths. It was known to be busy so she got there early.



There were great views of Bath Abbey from the Baths.





At one point Delilah headed down right to where the Baths were, which was really neat.




After the baths, Delilah had tea in the famous Pump Room, tearoom.



It was delicious!



That afternoon Delilah got to go to the Jane Austen Centre where there were life sized wax models of Jane Austen and characters like Mr. Darcy.




Soon, it was time for the World Cup Quarter Finals, and all the residents of Bath disappeared into the pubs.



So, Delilah figured that since the streets were quiet it would be the perfect time to take pictures of the Royal Crescent and the The Circus.




Later that day before heading back to her hotel, Delilah stopped when she found a group of dogs in the window. Photo opt!



The next day, was her last morning in Bath. Delilah had really enjoyed Bath the problem was, it was just too hot and they're weren't enough fans or any air conditioning like there was back in London.



Delilah spent her last morning going down to the River Avon, one more time. One thing about Bath though she had learned, was that it was incredibly scenic.




Delilah would miss Bath, but she was excited to see what the next city had to offer!

Delilah in York

Delilah Dale sat on the train, looking out the window as the English landscapes rushed by.

































She was on a train to a town called York in the Northern part of England. Delilah was from the big city, London. Delilah loved London with all the hustle and bustle. Her favorite part was the big London Eye in the center of it all.




















Delilah had lived in Hyde Park but the problem was that London was so big, and she was so small. Also the annoying pigeons had gotten to her singing there songs of "my toe hurts bet-tee" from morning 'till night. So Delilah had decided to go explore a few towns to see if she could find a smaller, preferably quieter home.

An hour or so later...

Delilah stepped off the train onto the platform. She was in York!







































Delilah then ventured to her hotel which was right by York's most famous monument, the Yorkminster.




















After admiring the Yorkminster, Delilah's second plan of attack was... food! There was so much good food in York.

Nachos
Sugar Cubes!
Elderflower Bubbly
Soft Boiled Eggs... yum!
Lattes
Swiss Chocolate Torte from Betty's

Everywhere you went in York there was amazing food! Next thing Delilah had to find was a home.
Maybe she could live in the planter in Russell Square. Probably not big enough...






















Or how about outside the castle. No, it's just above a highway so it would be loud.






















Hmm... how about in this little nook hidden in the castle walls. Perfect.





















Next, Delilah had to look for entertainment. She climbed all around the York Castle Walls. It was absolutely beautiful. Entertainment, check.

 

 

Finally, she had to look for some friends. She found old Henry in the hallway at the hotel but there seemed to be a lack of animals here (not including the pigeons.)





















It still seemed a little to much like London with the crazy pigeons and the lack of other animals. So she decided to keep searching. Delilah can't wait for you to see where she ventures next!
