Weekend Away



Bristol. Banksy. Blisters.

Sorry. But I am here now!

I went to Bristol and had a fabulous time. I had no idea that there was quite so much to see and do. The Harbour Festval was on the weekend I visited and what with Banksy at the Bristol Museum a full and interesting time was had.

Lots of walking was done. I was amazed by Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Wow! What a brilliant engineer was that Brunel chap. Shame he never got to see it finished though.

Also, the different parts of the city. Good hills and nice cider (I'm on the turn!) makes for a happy and fitter population. I was aware that there were less fat people here than most places. It did take me a little while to understand some of the broader accents though. Somehow they reminded me of churned butter, tractors and Vicky Pollard.

Oh, and the fireworks were stunning. I definitely giggled on the inside.

Having praised Bristol as much as I have done, there is one thing that my delightful, picturesque West Sussex has that I couldn't be without...beautiful beaches.

This weekend it promises to be sunny. I shall be taking pictures of my sandy spot and not doing very much else in between!

As always, fondest regards,

Miss Tip
