It's so easy to take for granted what we have on our doorstep. From a Bristolian 😊

[@NicolaExplores]

Definitely, we are so lucky in Bristol 😍

Thank you so much Shaun, I really appreciate the feedback 😊 I visit Brandon Hill very regularly so it’s great to show it to others who might not be able to visit. Or even those who can, and love it as much as I do!

Thank you, it actually rained on our first date so it was a little different 🤭

I was onboard the Matthew twice when it toured Newfoundland in 1997 as it is believed that he only visited Newfoundland and possible the northern tip of Cape Breton Island. We saw it come into Placentia harbour on the east coast (visit also) and also visited it a few weeks later when it was in Port aux Basques (west coast). All visits were free!! We later saw it in Bristol harbour during a tour of the harbour 15-20 years ago.

Oh wow, that’s fantastic. I doubt many people can say they saw The Matthew in all those locations!

[@lucforand8527]

@@NicolaExplores I'm sure your correct. The only ones are likely the crew and perhaps a certain number of Newfoundlanders. Of course their could be the odd people like me and my wife. We had actually planned to see the Matthew at Placentia as we had visited Newfoundland in 1995. In 1995 we saw a replica of a Norse ship from the 11th century which was touring the island. We saw it at L'Anse aux Meadows; where a replica of the only known Viking encampment in North America is known to have existed. On our visit to England in 2018 we took a day trip to Bristol from Bath and hoped to see the Matthew again.
