Bristol Best of the Rest Pt. 2
Well those who frequent the site, lurking in the background will know of my second visit to Bristol in late August/September. Well here are some of my favourites recently posted on Flickr.
… would appreciate any ‘tweets’, comments and the like – thanks.
September – a change of pace…
The summer has all but passed, holidays in sunny climes distant memories, committed to the digital archives.
But what have we got to look forward to in the months ahead?
September announces the change of the seasons; from the hot summer months passing through to the winter months – a breather, a break, a time for nature to prepare itself for the winter months ahead.

Bristol day7: Say Goodbye
Once again it was time to go, with a tear in my eye I said goodbye to the amazing apartment located in the heart of the Harbourside complex. It’s true, a crap hotel, B&B or apartment can really spoil your whole holiday but this one only enhanced the whole experience.
Bristol day6: City Centre Tour
As today was my last (full) day in Bristol, I decided to stay in the city visiting some new landmarks and some old ones. My first visit was the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, a bit of a trek from the apartment…
… past the College Green,
… the Council House, up the hill…
Bristol day5: Stately Homes, Wookey Holes and Spooky Writings
Bit of a mix today, visited Blaise Castle House located within some amazing grounds – its now owned by Bristol Council (wonder if I got on the waiting list I could live there?).
Inside the rooms are divided into a number of different collections including; Victorian toys and clothes – those gentleman waistcoats were very snazzy!
Bristol day4: Steam-less and Bath
Today’s adventure went a little flat, I should have done my research first of course!
My first visit was to the Avon Valley Railway; a steam railway of course, but what I would have found out if I’d checked the timetable would be that there was no action today! A little disappointing to say the least, but my own fault – maybe next year.
With the extra time I now had I decided to head further East and onto Bath. I arrived about 2pm so there wasn’t much time to see everything so I went to find possibly the most most famous landmark; The Roman Baths.
Walked past this church (I think) at the junction of Northgate Street and Walcot Loop Street but can#t find out what its called…
