To Brizzle and Back ...

Kicking off our year of celebrations was never intended to be this way. I thought the first blog I wrote would be more 'momentous' somehow. But along came another weekend with no forward plans so yesterday, Saturday 16th Jan, we figured why not!? So we did. We drove to Bristol, or more specifically to St Nicholas Market, simply for lunch! The delay in exchange of contracts on our house in Minehead has had us 'on hold' since the start of the year and yet another small hiccough meant no chance of retrieving our few desired bits of furniture this weekend - again - and so with our new philosophy of 'time to have some fun' there was nothing stopping us. The result? A stroll round the multi-cultural food market, an amazingly cheap yet hearty Moroccan meal, under the silk-adorned canopy of a street 'tent' finished off with Arabian coffee and delicious sweet mint tea served in a silver pot, and later a chunk of chocolate tiffin. Happy days. 

We also picked up a great map of Brirish Columbia and a guide book for Vancouver and Victoria meaning Stephen spent a happy hour later plotting our route for the summer. He's done such a brilliant job negotiating our holiday and now the deposit is paid we can really start to look forward to that ultimate adventure. 

But for now Brizzle will do nicely thank you. Fun times.
