where's the sun
Well the English summer leaves a bit to be desired. We've had mostly rain, wind and cold weather, generally ranging around the mid 50s to low 60's. However, on those rare days when the sun decides to come out and the wind is not atrocious Ian and I will take our reading outside to the Royal Fort park. The park is part of the University and once housed a medieval fort. Now all that remains is some stone walls and possibly a gate. However, there are some nice university buildings on the grounds which are landscaped by historical gardening dept.

Bristol skyline
Nothing shows the layers of Bristol history in such a charming way as the Bristol skyline where cranes and skyscrapers vie with spires and bell towers for attention. The lively colours of the roof tiles and greened copper piping are topped of by an army of chimney pots. This view is from a street just near our flat and gives an amazing overview of the city.
