Bridge in the Snow

A few years back it snowed quite dramatically in Bristol. I decided to go out in the snow and after visiting the Zoo ended up trekking to the suspension bridge. I am so glad I did as seeing the area in the snow was something I probably will never get to see satin, unless the weather changes dramatically in the next few weeks.

Tower Bridge

This December I found myself with a few hours to kill in London. I decided that I would do a little it of sight seeing and so visited Tower Bridge. There is a glass platform on the top levels which is quite a nice addition but did get rather busy with people taking photos. After my visit I decided to walk along the river bank and this is where I captured this photo from. Rather randomly the Coca-Cola christmas lorry was parked up behind me at the time.

150th Celebrations.

On the 7^th of December the Clifton Suspension Bridge celebrated 150 years since its opening. To mark the event, a firework show was put on. The fireworks went on for approximately 12 minutes and in that time we were treated many sights, sounds and colours, with an amazing waterfall firework off the bridge being one of the highlights. It was a chilly evening and as the crowd gathered we took a moments silence to remember the recent tragedy that had occurred so close by before the show went ahead for the evening. It seemed gathered on the hillside by the bridge that most of Bristol had turned up to see the spectacle.

A surprisingly sunny day..

Last January I had a few spare days after my exams, before the new term started. So I decided to fill it with mini adventures. On the 22nd I took the coach to Swansea which I believe was less than £10 return. On arriving in the city I saw the buses were running to Caswell Bay so I hopped on one despite the slightly overcast conditions. By the time I arrived the sun was out and it was such a gloriously warm winter's day I even treated myself to an ice-cream as I walked along the coastal path.
