Each week Bath Business News gives a prominent member of the city’s business community the last word on its weekly e-bulletin. This week Elsie Lyford, associate corporate solicitor at Goughs Solicitors, answers our 10 questions.
What was the LAST:
Film you watched? The 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice. Not as good as the TV version with Colin Firth but still worth a watch on a Sunday afternoon.
Book you read? Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson. I loved this memoir, written in 1953. It chronicles the author’s life with her children and paints a very relatable literary picture of domestic chaos.
Music you bought/downloaded? Plainsongs by Blake – local band playing great uplifting music recorded using analogue techniques for a retro feel.
Concert or play you went to see? Evan Dando of the Lemonheads at the O2 in Bristol. Iconic revisiting of an album I loved in my teens.
Sporting event you attended? Not being a massive sports fan this was Bath Boules last year. Looking forward to this year’s event!
Holiday you went on? Skoma, the puffin island on the west tip off Pembrokeshire. Amazing wildlife everywhere you look. Worth the drive.
Restaurant you ate in? The Walcot in Bath. Great selection of wine.
Thing that annoyed you? My husband.
Thing that made you laugh out loud? My husband.
Piece of good advice you were given? Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift (Master Oogway)
