This year I got to spend a lot more time at Bristol than normal. The weather was near ideal, cooling off after a long heatwave and accomodating my vacation. Of course that seems to happen every summer I visit. Anyway this season I got to see a lot of things I've missed in the past including Broon, MooNIE the Magnificent and the Consort Bella Donna. I also got to socialize much more and meet lots of new people. I hope you enjoy the highlights below
