I was glad my car is now back in working order as I travelled back to Bristol for my mum’s birthday. For some reason, public transport is even more difficult when it’s long distance and short-notice, so I was glad of my own method of transportation.

The weekend in Bristol was relaxing with the whole family in attendance and a take away from Nandos to celebrate mum’s birthday – nice and easy to both prepare and clear away! We chatted and had fun over the meal, and pored over old photograph albums. For some reason, my brother looked naughty in all his photos! Afterwards, we settled down in front of the TV to catch the last night of the proms on the BBC. A particularly good vintage thought my mum.
