    Bath? I went to Montecute. that’s not far away. Otherwise, I tend to enjoy the occasional hot soak from a location where I can look out over the Solent and see the big ships come in as the sun sinks slowly over the New Forest…

    I’ve asked for a water meter at chez rich.
    twice.
    Nothing.
    Just a huge water rate bill.

    so I run the garden sprinkler in the rain, Bath and shower each night, and wash my plate twice a year.

    hah and pah.
