The Clifton Lido

The Clifton Lido is such a fab place to go for a quiet mid/beginning of the week drink. Tonight was no exception.

No. 1 Harbourside

This year will be full of challenges, changes and exciting new adventures. Chris and I reflected on life on a Sunday walk, taking in the sights of Bristol and stopping of for drinks at No.1 Harbourside. Such a great place for drinks and chats.

Drinks With Georgia

Had some lovely chats with my friend Georgia at No. 1 Harbourside last night.

The Milk Thistle

I cannot praise this place highly enough, the Milk Thistle in Bristol is one of the most amazing bars I think I have ever been to. The eclectic decor, which included highlights such as huge moose heads, an old battered piano, aged wooden panelling, chintzy, tasselled lampshades and quirky paintings all added to the special and unique feel of this drinking den. From the outside, you would have no idea what lay behind the large, shiny black doors, the building having characteristics of a high end solicitors office or town hall. A hidden sanctuary where you need to knock on the doors to be let in. Expecting a slightly pretentious air to greet us, we were welcomed warmly and shown the way to the bar where a friendly table service awaited us. The cocktail menu had been pasted into old tattered, vintage books and our table was a big old drum surrounded by art deco easy chairs and an impressive flower arrangement in the grand fireplace alongside. The cocktails were sensational!

 

 

 

A day in Bath

I needed to take Rodney (my lovely little Nissan Micra) for his MOT on Saturday morning in the village where my parents live, so I took the opportunity to have a catch up with some friends in Bath and do a spot of shopping too. I met Georgia in Queen's square where we sipped on Frappucinno's and had a nice chin-wag. I took a snap of her lovely patent sandals. Then I me up with Felicity for more chats and a look around the shops where I managed to get some great Gap basics and a denim shirt (something I've been after for ages) and the coolest bikini top ever!

Drinks at the Lido

With all these balmy evenings finally upon us, outside seating was top priority when I met up with my friend Vicky on Tuesday. We decided to head to the Lido in Clifton, which was absolutely amazing! On the evening of the Olympic Torch madness, we found a real hide-away far from the crowds in a peaceful tranquil setting. The evening was then topped off with some lovely chats and two glasses of really delicious prosecco!
