10th September
Today in 1816, Mary Shelley and her husband, Percy, arrived in Bath. Mary’s journal states: “Arrive at Bath about two – dine and spend the evening in looking for lodgings”.
Mary didn’t spend that much time in Somerset, but her stay in Bath was very significant. Staying until early 1817, she wrote much of Frankenstein whilst living there. She was only 19 at the time.
Mary features in On This Day in Somerset.

Larvae (or triungulins) of Violet Oil Beetle (Meloe violaceus) on the outskirts of #Bath #Somerset #UK. These hang about on flowers and grab hold of the hairs of visiting solitary bees, which carry them to their nests, where they feed on the bee larvae and the stashed pollen. Oil beetles do not seriously affect bee populations - the presence of parasites and parasitoids like oil beetles is indicative of a healthy, functioning ecosystem

Bath from the top of Bath Abbey's tower.
In cathedral and related buildings, there are often signs offering a tour of the tour, just ask [some person]. Not being fond of steps nor finding people, I pass.
But Bath Abbey is sneaky. Just inside the entrance is a little desk with a sign about their tower tours, and a nice person behind the counter looking expectantly at you. Also, a declaration with a long list of health conditions that you have to agree you don't have. -

What’s your favourite ancient monument?
Here’s my local stone circle at Stanton Drew (in Somerset).
There are 3 circles + other features that combine to make it the 3rd largest complex of standing stones in England.
In the garden of the village pub - the Druid’s Arms - is a collapsed burial chamber that predates the stone circles.
Worth stopping for a pint 🍻
