A nice outing yesterday.

We spend the day in Bristol having a good poke around. There was a little rain, but only really enough to make it misty and a little damp. It cooled off a bit as well, causing us adults to rug up a bit for the first time in ages. Our Bea, who proudly proclaimed, “I am hot blooded,” spent most of the day in little more than a summer dress no matter how much we tried to get her to put on something warm. Brrrr.

Our lovely mate Meera played tour guide for the day and then took us home for dinner. Then Pascal and Meera cooked up a storm for us. Fantastic dinner, great chatting. Then we drove back to Melksham for a well-earned sleep.

Here’s a bit of a description of the day:

We started off down by Temple Meads Station about noon, then walked over to Queens Square to meet Meera. We then wandered through the @ Bristol public space, up past College Green then up Park Street for a bit.

We lunched at Fresh and Wild, which is a UK wholefoods/organic supermarket then powered up the hill to Cabot tower. The tower was closed so we took in the views lower and then headed for Clifton in search of a spot for a quiet one.

We fell into some shopping up Clifton way and Lib acquired a rather tasty skirt. Then it was time for a drink and view, so Meera took us over to a pub overlooking Brunel’s suspension bridge over the Avon Gorge and we made a cozy spot outside under and umbrella with heater lamps. Breathtaking view. Kindof cold in the end and the rain kept up, so we dived into a cab, picked up the next hire car and headed back to Meera’s for dinner.

A nice day out in the weather. Some sun and blue sky have returned today. Heh. Had better get the washing on while we have the chance. We are off to Brighton tomorrow or Friday.
