Lovely day in Bristol yesterday, starting at the Red Lodge (Tudor museum), then the Georgian House, nearly gave myself a heart attack walking to the top of Cabot Tower, then the best part, the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. I saw paintings by artists I've been learning about ❤️

My latest article in @bylines.cymru. Previously wrote about the Davies sisters, this is their equally fab brother, David Davies, 1st Lord Davies of Llandinam.

The sun started shining as soon as I got to Eastnor Castle. My perfect ideal of a faux castle and the walk around the lake was lovely.

Got this book from a second hand bookstore. The poems are written 'by' the cats of famous poets. The titles are hysterical, my fave is 'Do not go peaceable to that Damn Vet' by Dylan Thomas' cat 😹😹😹 and of course I have to use my cat bookmark for it...
