3rd October
We walked to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, along the waterside, then up the zigzag path which is quite a climb.
In the evening, we were picked up by Sarah and shown more of Bristol's suburbs - Stokescroft being particularly interesting as an edgy, lively young area with funky cafés and individual food shops and wild graffiti. This was where the Bristol riots started with a local protest against Tescos opening there.
We went to Sarah's home for dinner after seeing her and Dan's house 'project-to-be' - this looks like a massive undertaking, it being zero-rated! , but knowing them and their boundless energies and optimism they will achieve their goal. We had the most amazing meal prepared in a completely relaxed manner by both of them and their boys helped which was wonderful to observe. Had a great evening catching up in their cosy home, reminiscing about our mad working days together. Thanks Sarah, Dan, Rueben and Max. What a family! What a night!!
