Although we already knew our neighbourhood pretty well (we’ve lived in Bristol since 2003), we’ve become increasingly conscious of just how fortunate we are to have SO many beautiful locations within easy walking distance of our new flat – LITERALLY ‘half a mile from home’.
Here are
just a few – in no particular order (ALL within half a mile of our front door):
(and I feel sure I’ve left stuff out!).
Since the
first Covid lockdown (March 2020), I think Moira and I have gradually both
become conscious that “we’ve aged”! We’ve certainly become far less adventurous
when it comes to travel and holidays… neither of us currently has a passport
and or continues to drive. We now rely on public transport to get from A to
B.
There’s a sense that our worlds have become smaller and, although that perhaps sounds rather negative, it’s also made us incredibly aware of just how fortunate we are to have so much on our doorstep.
Lucky, lucky us!
