Back back back

Bristol does funny things to people. Well, it did to us at any rate. After two hours of wandering in and out of pretty little shops around Clifton on Friday in scorching sun, we headed to a lovely beer garden overlooking the Avon Gorge and a suspension bridge for lunch. We may have been sunstroked at this stage (and I was certainly sunburned in some funny places... photographic evidence to come) but all of a sudden there were plans to move to the area and have our boyfriends/fiances go into business together and have babies and work four day weeks and meet in this very beer garden every sunny Friday (for it would always be sunny) with our Quinny strollers and have lunch and bask. Domestic fantasies aside though, it's a very lovely city and the locals are very friendly and have singsong almost-Welsh accents.

Most of what we saw of Bath was from this angle and it really did look that good on Saturday (yay more sun!) There's a lot to be said for lolling round in a huge towelling robe for a day, with massages and facials and steam rooms and stealthy naps thrown in for good measure. All the relaxation took its toll on us, though, and we were all in bed by 10:30 after a massive Indian dinner.

We were all quite amazed at how much we managed to squeeze in to the three day trip - largely due to very little alcohol consumption and lots of sleep. All in all, the perfect relaxing weekend. Photos on Flickr this evening, I hope, all this Flickr/Facebook double postage is becoming quite tiresome!

What about that Zuport thing on Facebook, it picks up your Flickr photos?

Yeah, I did have a look at it, but it doesn't let you tag in the same way as direct Facebook uploads, right? There must be a way!

What a great blog Cath - I hope you have no regrets about returning. I'm thinking of making the move myself but it scares the hell out of me.
