Bit of a grey day so decided to go on the SS Great Britain. Had a wonderful time it was so interesting and well done to all who restored her a fantastic job.
Brunell had such vision,fancy building a huge ship out of iron! And the enormous prop with the rudder positioned yards up on the shaft so the water flowed in both directions making it easier to turn the wheel.
The decks have all been lovingly restored, dining room laid out. You could always climb the rigging but we chickened out
Justine arrived soon after 4pm and after a cuppa went back to their house for tea. Lovely to see them all the girls are so grown up now.
Tuesday walked into the Town Centre huge shopping area called the Cabot Centre brought some new Crocs,flip flops as mine are now sooo thin. Stopped at The V Shed good old Wetherspoons and had a very late lunch. Enjoyed a bottle of the red stuff with Heather & Mick in the eve.
Wednesday caught the bus up to the Clifton suspension bridge walked over and back again, then walked through Clifton village back to Bristol Catherdral. Then home for a cuppa.
This is the glass globe outside the Aquarium
Leaving Bristol tomorrow so spent the eve using as much electric as possible. Heh Mick, got the Hoover out!
