Someone lives in Bath

Someone lovely on my flist lives in Bath and worked in the Costume Museum a year ago. I am sure that if I put my brain to it, the right name will pop up, but sadly I am still a bit woozy from the flu and, more exhaustingly, am I am doing far too much proper work thanks to circumstances that cannot be discussed as they lead to me raging and frothing in an unbecoming fashion.

The point of this being, I think I need to spend a day or two in Bath in November, and would love to catch up for tea and pop into the museum, especially because the glove exhibition is on! And Vionnet! There is even a nice little hotel that has good rates, which means I can afford to pay for the cuppas, so all is shiny.

Alas, trains to York were exorbitant, and local areas even worse, so I will not be able to turn up on [livejournal.com profile] goddessriss 's doorstep with Violet Crumble this trip, but the upside of the current grim work situation is that my next contract will see a significant increase in hourly rate, so next time!

Off to sleep more, hope to be back to normal (normalish) soon!

Erm, actually two someones on your flist live in Bath. I've never worked at the Costume Museum, though. But I do have a foldout couch I can offer, if you're staying overnight.

I shall keep my fingers crossed, then! I do come to London once a month for meetings, so shall hold out hope that our paths may cross some day. Violet Crumble sounds lovely.

No sign of Puss, I fear the worst. I have been offered a kitten, which will be ready to leave Mum on 6th Nov. We're going to see it at the weekend, if I can bring myself to. It seems a bit like replacing her, somehow, even though we'd been offered it before she went...

A glove exhibition sounds lovely!

Why did I have to move away from Bath? :(

I think it might be me you're looking for; I work (occasionally) at the Fashion Museum, and regularly at the Roman Baths (being "sister" museums staff are interchangeable) and I would love to take you around. The 2 Vionnet dresses are on show until 28th November. I'm also a newly trained tour guide for the city, and could help you with anything else you wanted to see or do. I live about 15 miles from Bath and we have a large empty nest with lots of spare bedrooms. It's the least I can do to thank you for the hours of enjoyment your writing has provided!
yours, Theodoraleft
