You will have to wait a little bit to find out what the film was. Last night, Saturday night, I had the feeling that we should go to Bristol and in particular visit the Royal Photographic Society at the rather strange address of Gallery, 337, 340 Paintworks, Bristol BS4 3AR. We do seem to pick our moments as the morning was not short of showers so we found ourselves on the 376 bus from...
Françoise and I were invited to Bristol to meet two of our relatives, Ken and Pat, who live slightly to the north of Bristol, and have done so for the past 40 years in the same house. The bus journey from our locality was a little bit different to say the least. The bus was 10 minutes late – normally it's on time to the minute – this was due to an oversize vehicle being shepherded along in...
The development of 5G is such that people in many local areas are waking up to the reality that our DNA will be fried and that there is no escape.

I think Bristol encourages people to do this street art work. I find it enormously cheering and humanising. In case you were wondering, "blood and Fire" is the motto of the Salvation Army that describes the blood of Jesus...
The image is by Rosalind Robinson 'Where he leads, the past will follow'. See below for more. We parked our car at Farrington Gurney as per usual and took the direct bus to Bristol, the 376, which avoids the burgeoning parking problems, endless roadworks and to us oldies it is FREE. Off to see a friend at the Andellie Art Gallery in Christmas Steps, Bristol then to The Royal Western Art...
