Go (south) west

One and a half days may not be enough to get a true flavour of a place, but it was more than enough to convince me that our friend Alison is going to be very happy in her new home city, Bristol.

She may have been comfortably settled in Birmingham, having lived there for ten years, but the fact that her flat is within five minutes' walk of the Clifton Suspension Bridge (spectacular views, if very blustery and disconcertingly decorated with adverts for the Samaritans), an upmarket greasy spoon (Two Rooms), three very pleasant pubs (The Greyhound, The Somerset House and The Albion, the latter demanding a revisit specifically to sample its pub snack of choice, the "pig twig") and an excellent and extremely good value-for-money curry house (the Brunel Raj) is likely to make the acclimatisation process very easy indeed. Even if there is always the danger of running into Justin Lee Collins coming out of a shop, as we did.

Could Bristol be the next stopping point for the SWSL UK tour? You never know - but knowing that places like the Brunel Raj exist certainly isn't going to make it less likely...

So, what did you get up to over the Easter weekend?
