Today was fresh and showery, but when not showering Bristol city centre was looking rather lovely, and all the pennants on the ships and boats were straining for the sea.

In between various necessary tasks I walked around, collecting more Aardman statue sightings:

Oh, and this unassuming building is the studio of Aardman Animations, where the magic happens:

It's strangely calming to come down to a city centre and find boats and sunshine. Maybe it's not Venice, but Bristol has its own charm:

If you want a soundtrack for this post, you could do worse than this.

Yours is a city I just don't know and we don't live so far from you these days so we really ought to pay a visit some time.
