Bristol - Videos

We went to Bristol last weekend, on the day London experienced the worst snowfall in many years. It was snowing throughout, hence very little chance to take pictures. Nevertheless, we have videos to share with you... Enjoy!

Part 1 - We picked a day to go Bristol where London was snowed in, no bus service and most London tubes shuts down.



Part 2 - Managed to make our way to the train station relatively easy (the tubes on our route works!). This is the start of our journey, and luckily it wasnt stuck anywhere due to the snow.



Part 3 - Arrived at Bristol! It was just beginning to snow! Found our way to the hotel (about 30 minutes walk from the train station) and after wrapping ourselves up (me using Des's oversized jacket to keep my butt warm) we slowly made our way to the city centre.



Part 4 - Bristol City Centre! Gosh, I feel like we're giving out weather forecast! It has begin to snow quite heavily, and at times, instead of soft little drops of snow, it was big chucks of snow! Was very pleased that we both came with the right attire (all wrapped up nice and warm, not not very fashionable!).



Part 5 - Just after dinner, outside the hotel. One last chance of the snow before retiring back to the hotel.



Part 6 - Next day Bristol, making our way back to the train station.



Part 7 - Bristol or Bath???

We got too excited and worried about the prospect of getting home in time that we hopped into a earlier train! Was very malu-fying and we apologied to the family who we mistakenly thought to have taken our seat! :P

So we get off the next stop at Bath and waited for 15 minutes later to take the correct train.



Part 8 - Home!

And lucky for us. the ride back home was smooth with (again) the tubes working on our selected journey. But the walk back home was a bit slippery with the snow melting but not quite.

And dont know why, my head was bobbing up and down like a stupid idiot!



Videos are all unedited and please excuse the strange accent! Will post more pictures for Bristol and Brighton soon! Also, hope that we will get our 2nd day photoshot pictures soon! :)

Gong XI Gong Xi!

Never thought I'll see anything remotely CNY that will reminds me of new year in London. And guess what I found in the newspaper last week!


A quick update on our CNY activities. We've had reunion dinner at Des's sister in law's place with a couple of their friends. We then head up to Brighton for a day trip. And tomorrow we'll be having our 2nd day photography session (fingers crossed that the weather will be good) and heading up to Chinatown as they are having some CNY-related carnival or something. And then, we'll be heading up Bristol for an overnight trip!

Lots of things happened and was busy thats why havent found time to tell you guys. Hopefully after the trip things will settle and the pictures will be up!

Happy New Year everyone!
