A Bristol break..........

We've just been away to Bristol for a couple of days. I love Bristol - wish I lived there in many ways - it's such an attractive, vibrant place.  Today it looked lovely in the Autumn sunshine -













We went to the St Nicholas Markets area - some great stalls and shops -



Vintage clothes! -






The interior of the hall is ornately decorated - 



Check out the door knocker! -




Lovely handmade things -




Cool aprons!? -




An exotic cafe -




And a lovely flower shop -



The Banksy street art / graffiti on Park St has had paint splatted on it :( - (is that despoiling, if its graffiti to start with?)  -








AND I got some new shoes!   Plain DMs - to wear with coloured tights? -





And then -


:)

  1. It sounds like you have had a lovely few days in a city which has many lovely areas! I very seldom go into Bristol, despite being only 45 minutes away, as I always seem to end up in Bath when I do my shopping. However, I do enjoy the market you feature here, and a friend of mine lives in Southville, an area full of pretty houses and artists. Your blog entry now inspired me to go and explore Bristol a little more! ;-)

    Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog entry just now - I appreciate them very much.
