Assuming you do have an emergency, go into the ambulance only bit outside the Bristol Heart Institute, then -saying outside the warren of buildings- go down to the A&E unit. Drop the kid off and then nip out to worry about the problem of parking without getting...

Is a name with which to conjure? He was in fact a celebrated mineralogist, of his day, an M.P. for Cricklade (1880 – 1992), and of course it goes without saying that he was Lord of the Manor of Horfield! So, I suppose that it also goes without saying that he had some roads in the area named after him, but what was he doing in Cricklade, one has to ask oneself? What were his expenses, as an M.P.,...
And so it came to be that in the Summer of 2009; Blind Spider, one of Bristol's finest bands returned to its strongest line up since the ill fated tour of 2006 when Pete Tiley (me) split from the band due to ill health - thus causing friction that took two years to heel. However, it is all good now and the friendships in the band transcend music as these are people who spent their lives together, growing...

After yesterdays crawl I found I had left my camera in Phils car so had to drive over to St George to pick it up. Mr Phil was there with a big box of architectural pamphlets and books for me and then not wanting to get caught up in the motorway snarl ups found my own way to Brean. Rather than sit in traffic jams for hours on end I went rather a long way round. I stopped at Pensford - a small village...
Just been Tweeting with Councillor Sean Beynon re Bristol City Council's new recycling advice scheme. The wards chosen for this pilot are as follows: Henleaze, Horfield, St George, Eastville, Bishopston, Ashley, Frome Vale and Lockleaze. Now I wonder why these wards were chosen? Do we have statistics to show that they would benefit most from such an exercise being carried out in their midst? Jon, can...

trespassingtheolympicsite.blogspot "If you've been reading a lot and know the area well then you may by now have worked out that over the time of these trespasses I became a creature of habit, only venturing into two areas of the site once the fence was up. One near where the main stadium now stands flanked by the Greenway, the other alongside the canal. These choices were pragmatic, I had two...
