My plan:
- Take an early morning train to Bristol’s Temple Meads station, which is within walking distance of the city centre.
- Walk down to the recently-renovated Broadmead for a spot of shopping and to grab lunch. Alternatively, check out the Bristol Food & Wine Fair which opens, happily, on the very day that I am in Bristol! It’s also within walking distance.
- Walk up the hill to see my University. Take photos. Buy mementos.
- Walk further up the hill to see my old residence, the Hawthorns. (If I have time and strength, I may visit my earlier residence, Clifton Hill House)
- Cross the Clifton Suspension Bridge and walk all the way to Ashton Park, lie on the grass and relax.
- Pop over to Clifton Village for a spot of tea. Take more photos.
- Grab a cab back to Temple Meads and take the next train back to London. Ahh…
Along the way, if possible, I may do the following:
- Ogle at the cool furniture at Habitat and take a catalogue, if they have any. I used to collect the annual catalogues religiously.
- Buy a copy of The Big Issue to support homeless people who are trying to help themselves by doing honest work.
I am too early for the annual Balloon Festival.
This post may be updated as more things are discovered.
