Best way to get from Heathrow to Bath?
My wife and I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with a trip to the UK. She watched a bunch of YouTube videos on narrowboating, we are now going to Bath to hire a narrowboat, spend 4 days on the canal, and an additional day touring the city.
This starts by getting ourselves from Heathrow to Bath, ideally by train as the train station is close to the narrowboat dock.
Having never been to the area before, I'm not familiar with how the UK rail system works, and Google-fu presents a couple of options but no clear choice.
When in doubt, ask a local: what's the best way to get from Heathrow to Bath?
While I'm at it, any recommendations about things to see (or avoid!) would be very welcome. She's a huge Bridgerton fan, if that helps.
Cheers!

New Tool Day
We have a small woodlot on our property and over the years the amount of deadfall has been slowly accumulating.
Last summer was incredibly dry. We were under a burn ban for most of the summer and fall, and that deadfall was starting to look more like “fuel load” with an attendant fire risk, but with the burn ban, no way to get rid of it.
The answer was a chipper/shredder, but I felt we needed something a little more substantial than the typical homeowner-class units.
So I picked up this OPC566E. 14HP. Electric start. Four wheels, so it can be moved around without needing a tractor. “Light commercial” build quality and ease of service.
It showed up Friday, I had it assembled that night, I put it to work Saturday and Sunday. It successfully converted two huge brush piles into roughly 2000 litres of mulch, including some chunks around 5” in diameter. It ate everything I threw at it and self-fed just fine.
No issues to speak of and a post-job inspection revealed no measurable blade wear.
I love it when something just works!

Anything posted from the iOS app now automatically adds escape characters ("") to any markdown tags, preventing the use of italics, bold, ^superscript etc.
This is a major regression in QoL.
