Around the Docks Then with nieces.

 My Hotel faces the historically famous Bristol "Floating Harbour" about which see     The story of Bristol's Floating Harbour - VisitBristol.co.uk


The Hotel is on Prince Street, named for Prince George of Denmark, spouse of Queen Anne.

Prince St. is bursting with energy.  

Girls and Boys walking to and from the Cathedral School.

Cyclists by the hundred, on their ways to and from their places of work (Bristol is a Cycle friendly City).

Commuters on battery operated scooters.

Walkers, and yet more walkers - some are tourists; others are about their daily business.

'Tis a great place to people watch.  

This morning after a splendid Capuchino Coffee I wandered and took photo's.   No breakfast, for my sister Ruth and I went to Trowbridge, Wiltshire for a great brunch with our nieces Clare and Cheryl. 

 Chris, Cheryl's b/f, joined us. Clare's husband Jamie could not get time off work

Here are  pics from my morning peregrination.

I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
