Clifton Village | Bristol, England

23 February 2014

It's almost impossible to stay indoors on beautiful days in England.
It's equally as impossible to get any reading done for classes on said beautiful days.
As the sun was out on Saturday, I procrastinated my reading and decided to take a stroll in Clifton.

Clifton Village is one of my favorite spots in Bristol. It's filled with independent cafes and shops, as well as a fresh produce stand or two. Although located in the heart of the Bristol, Clifton Village gives the feeling of escaping the bustling city.



Happy Sunday!

Clifton Suspension Bridge | Bristol, England

14 January 2014

The last few days have been kind of weird for me. 
Weird in the sense I was sleeping until 2 in the afternoon and only getting out of bed for food. 
I blamed it on jet lag, telling myself it was okay, I'll get back on schedule soon.
But I realized today that it wasn't jet lag. The reason I felt so crappy was because I had been sitting on my butt for the last few days watching hours and hours of American Horror Story. 
So when I woke up at 1pm today (oh the joys of having a break from school), I made a conscious effort to actually get up and go do something. 

It was such a gorgeous day I decided to catch a bus up to Clifton Suspension Bridge. I would have walked, but who am I kidding? I wanted a little fresh air not a mountain hike. 

Clifton Suspension Bridge is 245 ft above River Avon. It was finished in 1864, making 2014 its 150th anniversary year. 
I have crossed it twice, once by foot and the other by car, so didn't feel the need to walk across today. The area surrounding the bridge is absolutely beautiful and I found myself wandering around for an hour or so. 


It's amazing what a little fresh air can do for you!
Happy Tuesday!
