Visitors!

Over the past several weeks we have had a few visitors. Firstly my cousin Mel and her boyfriend Phil came to stay for a Saturday night. On Sunday we decided to take one of the many boat tours to be had around Bristol harbour. It was a great way to learn a bit more about the maritime history of Bristol and also about some of the many fantastic buildings in and around the downtown area. We just so happened to be there at the same time as The Matthew, which is (a replica of) the boat that John Cabot travelled to and discovered North America on.

Here are a few pics of us all enjoying the tour:





Mel thinks her hair looks messy in this photo, but when you are on a boat your hair is supposed to be messy, like a pirate. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, it was great to see my cuzzy, it will be the last time for quite some time.

Our second lot of guests were Davy and Steph from Canada, Halifax to be precise. Davy and Steph spent the last week or so here. For Halloween we carved pumpkins and dressed up for a night out.


Unfortunately I was working for most of their time here so I missed out on a day trip to Bath and a day trip to Cardiff.

It has been great to have some familiar faces around and I hope to see some more before our time is up here.
