A table to celebrate our wedding in October 2011 with family. We select local west-country produce and a lovely weekend stay at The Duchy which was once HRH Prince Charles' townhouse in Bath.
The house was originally designed by the renowned Georgian architect Thomas Baldwin in 1794 who coincidentally designed The Guildhall where we are married. Nelson's mistress was one of the first residents with Jane Austin and William Pitt as near neighbours and its location just off Great Pulteney Street is a fantastic endorsement of why Bath is a justified World Heritage Site.
The Georgian townhouse was designed to accommodate the elite and fashionable with elaborate drawing rooms and a professional kitchen in the basement complete with its own flagpole out the front! We roll the flag out to mark our residence for the weekend which is in itself the ultimate indulgence! The stay is a loved-filled experience and the luxury of the houses' location and comfy beds make it perfect, however, the flights of stairs between every floor mean at the end of the weekend we all feel a little achy and it takes the shine off the glamourous idea of owning our own townhouse!
