The railway to Bristol is an engineering marvel of the 19th Century, tunnels, bridges, cuttings etc. The absolute masterwork of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Pretty much everything he built or planned we are still using in the UK 150 years later. Jeremy Clarkson did a great video about him .

The London Underground is not easy for anyone who is not used to it, it's mostly because it is so old. However always ask the staff, they are usually really helpful.

Welcome back to your second home, Joel! I lived in Bristol throughout my 20s and yeah, it rocks! No doubt you'll hit the waterfront on your night out, but if you have a minute, turn off Park Street to the left about halfway up (that's with the University tower right at the top) and get yourself up Brandon Hill, for a view - and if the tower is open, and even better view!! Oh - and good shout with the jumper, if you think it's cold there, wait til' you get to Scotland!!

[@paulybarr]

You've learnt, perhaps from last year, about packing as light as possible, especially for a summer trip, but a hoodie is always a good idea- even if you don't need to wear it a lot. It can be so useful on the flight itself, either to wear, because many aircraft are quite cold, or rolled up as a lumbar support or pillow. Looking forward, as always, to the next instalment. Greetings from NZ!

@@SimonB-tk7yy very true 😂 I like the hot weather, it makes life so much easier for me, my horses can stay out 24/7 and there's no mud etc but then a few weeks ago I was moaning that my fields were like a chinchillas dust bath.

[@SimonB-tk7yy]

@tarantulagirl666, I know what you mean. On the whole I prefer the hot weather to the recent weather we've had. It makes you feel so much better. In May/June we had around 6 weeks where it didn't rain at all so a bit of rain was welcome at first, the trouble is once it starts it never knows when to stop. At least the nice weather has returned now.

Welcome back Joel. The comments about feeling at home were lovely. As a Brit with an American husband who was an anglophile from a young age, could chime with that feeling. It's a strange feeling to be in another country yet feel so at ease. It happens the reverse way too, one of my friends stayed in Florida and if wasn't for his dog, he would've stayed. Another friend did back in the 80's - went on vacation for 2 weeks and never came back. Since got married and became a US citizen.
