I’ve no links to Ireland at all. I just thought I’d mark St Patrick’s Day with this sticker image I spotted, on a bridge, in Bristol earlier in the year. The stickers seem to pop up on random lamp posts, bollards or bridges around town. We walked in to central Bristol on Saturday and I found two more. I’ve no idea what they are all about and I can’t find anything on the internet about them. I find them funny though. Here’s a couple more…..

I took this today in Weston-s-Mare. Much as I like doors, this artwork has made these dull, plain doors more interesting. Having said that, the doors add something as well. I wish I could have included more but there was a car parked in the way. Posted for Dan’s Thursday Doors

It’s non theme this week for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness so I thought I’d post a few street shots. I’m not sure if there’s a specific definition for what is and what isn’t ‘Street Photography’.

We decided to fit another walk in this week. We wanted something a bit longer than Mondays Cheddar Gorge ramble so we decided to drive in to the Cotswolds. The area is not too far away from us, about 50 miles. I had a look through our OS Cotswolds Pathfinder Book and chose a nine mile circular walk starting at Winchcombe. The route loops around a ridge to the east of Winchcombe, taking in Hailes Abbey and Sudeley Castle. I found the same route in my Outdoor Active App with no problems and used that to guide us.

Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, UK is well known for it’s deep gorge and caves and is one of the top tourist attractions in our part of the world. Like all these things, it’s somewhere I’ve never properly visited even though it’s only 25 miles from home. So, yesterday we decided to take advantage of the good weather and walk the 3 1/2 mile cliff-top circular walk around the gorge.
