My Son and I went to Bristol on Friday to attend the University open day there, Bristol is one of the institutions he's looking at as a possible place to do a degree course next year. I haven't been there in many years and it's changed quite a bit, lot's of little developments around the place and a distinct "Shoreditch" feel (graffiti and shipping containers) to the area around the bottom of the city-centre dock area. We stopped in the Wild Beer Company tap room at Wapping Wharf and had a beer and some late lunch, both very good, unfortunately the weather was abysmal, it rained non-stop all day. Not the best advertisement for the city but bugger all we could do about it other than transport a big golf umbrella around everywhere, anyway we were determined to make the most of the day and had a good old mooch around. We even attended some "sample" lectures, which were great fun and took me back! Ah those days, everything ahead of you, anything possible, non-stop intellectual stimulation, blatant substance abuse and no responsibilities to speak of, now that's living..
