Oh that's a relief. I was concerned that such a long journey might freak him/her out. It's 2 hours by car, from me. If I do end up going to Bath, I may ask for those tips beforehand if you don't mind!

Great. I'll probably be spending a fair amount of the day there then.

One thing I am worried about is that, according to Kim, you can see the hamsters which will be for sale from 10am, but can't buy or reserve them until 10:30am. So, I expect that if I do see one that I like, there will be other people who want him/her too.

Loved the Jane Austen centre when I visited before, but didn't take a photo with the greeter so I'll have to remember that for next time. You know, if I am free, I might go to the Bath show even if I do get a hamster next weekend... I need an excuse
