Bristol part 1

Part 2 of road trip weekend -  Enter Bristol - in 2 parts as so many shots taken.

First stop Bristol Abbey of course,, none of the rich patron feel to Tewkesbury - but far finer.. what a gem.,, Pen says ... take a picture of that.. its usually a dog that sits at the feet but NOT THIS.. what the f+++ is that... HA HA HA .. .soooo funny.. its a man sort of liony thing.


Just like it.


pub we visited a little = just down the road was the last night in the streets outside the Old Vic (renovations happening).,.,.. Treasure Island.. however it was sold out.. luckily it was pissing it down.. so put our names down for the countless cancellations that may happen.. but didnt... so we stood just down the road waiting for a phone call.. but they are hardy people in Bristol, unfortunately.


so we decided to view the latest exhibition at the tobacco factory which was wallace and gromit and a few other set pieces advertised in acouple of glossys of Bristol.. so wish we hadnt.. hardly anything to see and when we arrived at 2.10pm (1st day of exhib. opened at 11am) was a total shambles.. the small room was not ready and just a couple of wallace sets to view.. sooooo crap..


some street shops

and now in the rain.. heavy heavy rain..

graffitti is brilliant in this city



loved the graffitti on this police station now dis-used


and the rain just kept on bucketing down


bit suprised to see this workers getting later on a friday night


bit more pubbing.. nice irish one at the top of some steps..
