Bristol & Castle Combe

Headed to Bristol for the day, mainly in search of some original Banksy works, but also to have a walk around town to see some of the sights.

Bristol has lots of lovely colourful houses especially around the harbour area and we also came across a small Christmas fair but it was pretty much deserted, even though lock-down 2.0 had ended.

Were disappointed to only find a couple of Banksy’s artworks and that they have been defaced. However, THE most devastating news of all … a day AFTER we went to Bristol, we found out that Banksy had been in Bristol on the SAME bloody day as us, creating a new artwork!!! Could have passed him in the street – but we’ll never know!

En route back to Banbury, we went via Castle Combe – considered to be one of the most gorgeous of villages in the Cotswolds and despite it being a rainy day, it didn’t disappoint. Really quaint, quintessential England – love it.

However, we only braved the rain long enough to walk the length of the main street and back again and then headed for home.
