From the writings of Lewis Carroll
The Walrus and Carpenter
Our church hopes to host a film series next spring at our local independent cinema in Bath. So, we are members. Our memberships were up for renewal so after we were issued this year's membership cards we decided to take in a Friday double feature. (Yes, it is our day off!) We watched The Painted Veil and then headed upstairs to watch The Lives of Others which won this year's Academy Award for best foreign language film. I recommend both highly, although my guess is that both films are probably not shown in mega cinemas or if they are they probably had a limited release.
Afterwards, we went to The Walrus and Carpenter, a Bath institution. This unique little restaurant, even though it has a 'pubish' name is located near the Royal Theatre and specialises in vegetarian food, although they do have fabulous burgers for carnivores. Maurene had the Seafood Bake and I had a burger covered with the unique combination of applesauce and Colman's grain mustard. Yum! It was a nice way to spend a Friday. The website for The Walrus and Carpenter is: http://www.thewallybath.co.uk/ . If you click on menu you can not only see their rather unique fare, but see the actual table at which we dined. Now that's exciting!
