Jane Austen Promenade

Bath Street was next for the Jane Austen Festival Regency Costumed Charity Promenade , with a loop around the Hot Baths by the Thermae Spa, then heading back towards Bog Island.

There’s more photos to come over the next few days – I thought I’d spread them out so I didn’t overload my blog in one day!

Minerva’s Owls – Oswold

The Owls should all be back at base so they can be tidied up in time for the Owls Hoot Farewell weekend. I’ve still got several owl photos left to post, so these owls most likely won’t be visible today.

If there was a prize for the best display, then Oswold would be a confident winner!

Oswold was perched at Whitehall Garden Centre, and they must have spent ages working on their display to ensure he felt like he fitted in!

Minerva’s Owls – Lumin15

The Owls should all be back at base so they can be tidied up in time for the Owls Hoot Farewell weekend. I’ve still got several owl photos left to post, so these owls most likely won’t be visible today.

This has to be one of my favourite owls! Lumin15 was perched in a shed at Waterhouse, and is spectacularly lit to show off his glass feathers.

There were mirrors positioned behind Lumin15 so you could see the back of his head as well.

Jane Austen Promenade

I hadn’t paid much attention to the map of the route, so I wasn’t too sure where the Jane Austen Festival Regency Costumed Charity Promenade would head after Milsom Street.

They made their way down through Union Street, which leads to some more unusual photos of Regency costume mixed with modern shops.

Minerva’s Owls – H’Owl at the Moon

The Owls should all be back at base so they can be tidied up in time for the Owls Hoot Farewell weekend. I’ve still got several owl photos left to post, so these owls most likely won’t be visible today.

H’Owl at the Moon was perched at the Combe Grove Hotel and Spa on Brassknocker Hill.

The more you look at H’Owl at the Moon, the more detail you can spot – I love the badgers in their sett by the owl’s feet.

Jane Austen Promenade

Following on from George Street (of course) is Milsom Street, where the 33rd Regiment of Foot who were leading the Promenade, stopped to allow everyone to catch up.

…certainly not the comfiest mode of transport
