Remembering A Trip To Bristol: UK Travel Plans

Remembering A Trip To Bristol: UK Travel Plans, Hello friends, happy Wednesday.

So today as we are not allowed to travel, I am sharing a way back Wednesday post from September 2018 and a trip to Bristol.

Wallace and Gromit in Bristol 2018.

Remembering A Trip To Bristol: UK Travel Plans:

Can you believe it, my 2nd eldest son lives in Bristol and we have not been to visit him since these photos were taken.

With 2 younger children at home and also a dog it was impossible to visit without making plans. Last year we made plans then COVID came along.

Thankfully he has travelled home in the last two years. So we have managed to see him.

So today we had a lovely catch up over Skype and hopefully, we get to visit him again this year.

Above Summer 2018 Gromit sculpture at Temple Quay, Bristol, UK.

Firstly, Christmas Street. So I am sharing a few things Christmas-y today! How cool is it to live on a street, call Christmas Street!?

I also love everything about Christmas and every time I see these photos I think about Christmas and how magical it is.

Imagine living on Christmas Street all year round!? Ha! Christmas Street: The Wednesday Link Up.

Christmas Street, Bristol.

Secondly, Street Art Outfit Post. So who can resist a photo in front of the many pieces of amazing Street Art?

I love finding street graffiti and street art. There is also a lot to find in Bristol.

Thirdly, How Amazingly Talented?

Anyone who can make a great thing with Lego is a genius!! Love these Lego sculptures we see in Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol.

How cool is this Gromit made out of Lego? Cracking Build Gromit.

    Great memories Claire, and that street art as background is just fab. It’s been a tough year for so many and for so many reasons but I’m grateful that at least we have technology to keep in touch with those who are further away. It would be a very different prospect if we had to depend on letter writing, though I’m sure we’d have made the very most of it. Take care of yourself, and thanks for joining #PoCoLo

    Claire, this post just made me smile so big. So much whimsy and happiness from pre-covid days. I love your outfit with the ladybug tee and racing stripe jeans. It is so adorable! Thanks for sharing this flashback of joyful times with us!
