Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I was back home in Bristol and I wanted to share some photos I took on my phone. In true Bristol style, the weather was rather wet during my visit - apart from glorious blue skies when I first arrived back on Friday night.
Saturday started off just as Saturdays (or Sundays) in Bristol should; with brunch. My sister and I took our dad out for a day-early Father’s Day treat at our favourite brunch spot, Bakers & Co on Gloucester Road. I had avocado on toast with mushrooms and stole a piece of my sister’s halloumi - just the start of a day full of vegan slip-ups, oops. Following brunch, we braved the rain and darted in and out of all the charity shops Gloucester Road has to offer. I always find some great homewear bits and this time was no different. I picked up a dusty pink lamp base in one shop and a rattan lampshade in another - a match made in heaven, until I found the lampshade didn’t fit so off we went to the hardware shop for a solution. Most of my trips to Gloucester Road shopping seem to end up with me at the hardware shop…
Following a quick trip to Clifton Village where I admired the freshly watered (read: rained on) and colourful fruit stall at Reg the Veg, my sister and I headed to our stepdad’s for an afternoon of lazing about in the conservatory, watching the rain hammer on the glass roof and admiring the colourful flowers in the garden.
I want to do more off-the-cuff, diary-style blog posts like this so I hope you enjoyed this post. X
