We went for a drive on Sunday to Bristol, Wells and Glastonbury.
It must have been hot here (~12 oC) because there were a large number of people in Bristol wearing shorts and thongs! We decided to go to Bristol City FC ground (Ashton Gate) first - mainly for Jason and to buy a BCFC shirt - store not open. today was the BCFC v Cardiff game and there were about 200 police there 4 hours before the start!! The ground only holds a maximum of 22,000 - memories of suburban VFL in Melbourne!
Next we went over the Suspension Bridge (by car and foot) - a great engineering feat for something built in 1830! It spans the Avon River about 100m above it. Checkout the video of Kristin! Just like a little kid!
From the bridge we went into town and tried to buy a shirt, but you can only buy them at the ground!! So we had lunch (vegemite sangers again) outside the Bristol Cathedral.
A trip back to Ashton Gate at kick-off time - store not open! So we went off to Wells and then to Glastonbury. The Tor and Abbey at Glastonbury were worth the visit and the Cathedral at Wells is spectacular (Wells is the smallest cathedral city in Britain). 
One last trip back to Ashton Gate - all closed - so when we got home I bought the shirts online!!
Cheers.
