My week in Bristol


Last week I went down to Bristol to visit my sister whilst she is at Uni. I had an amazing time and completely fell in love it, and not just because of its highly regular bus service, but because of its many attractions and beautiful countryside. In addition to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta I also went shopping, sightseeing and mini-golfing! 







This is Clifton suspension bridge. It's reeeaally high and I am so glad we didn't go across it as part of it was under construction. You can see it from many areas in Bristol and it looks good both up close and from afar. 



Even though Bristol is well known for its wonderful shops and very steep streets it also had some amazing countryside. On the way to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta I took some pictures of the surrounding area.


I do love boats, and in Bristol they have loads! Here are just a few.





These houses and apartments on the waterfront look fabulous, especially the mini Balamory on the hill. With beautiful views like this whats not to like?



I was tempted to have a go on one of these boards for all of 5 seconds before I realised I probably wouldn't even be able to stand up let alone paddle anywhere.

Have you been to Bristol? What was your favourite part?

Day Visit To Hebden Bridge





How beautiful is this view!


Anyone else refer to canal boats as Rosie and Jim boats or is that just me?


This is part of the high street and what a cute little high street it is too. Full of quaint shops and lovely cafes it's a fabulous place to pick up something out of the ordinary.




Can you believe this is the cinema?? Beats the Odeon or Vue any day!


Blazer: H&M - Dress: H&M - Bag: New Look
Ok, so I know I have worn this blazer a few times but it is just so comfortable. I also love this dress. I have had it for a few years now and it always reappears when the weather gets nicer. 


Shoes: Primark

Isn't this the prettiest train station you have ever seen! I love how they have maintained it and kept it old fashioned and traditional.



So that was my trip to Hebden Bridge! We had a lovely walk around the town and then had a wander down the canal to see the Rosie and Jim boats! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a little getaway to the countryside.
