Walking to rowing this morning and looks like a new Banksy has appeared in central Bristol - on a bridge crossing the water. ‘ no to the 1%’

Great football weekend; my daughter in the squad for Bristol City Women win at Ashton Gate against Sunderland yesterday; then travelled to see the mighty Brentford FC snatch a win with 10 men at Villa Park today. 😁😁😁

Great to see this on new @wecanmake.bsky.social development: community-led, community-built, community lived-in affordable homes. Starting to unlock the thousands of micro-sites around our cities for much needed housing. Proper job @melissamean.bsky.social & co! www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Community-led development gets the green light

The homes will be allocated to those registered in need of housing

Really enjoyed watching Power Station last night @wshed.bsky.social Inspiring stories about how a neighbourhood can come together & - despite all the obstacles - achieve something amazing while having fun along the way. Just the dose of positivity I needed! @melissamean.bsky.social

Why I love Bristol. Seeing the fabulous Joy Crookes, one of my favourite singers, with 200 people, in a club 200 yards from home. She is amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

On VE Day, I remember my Dad (centre) who, aged 18, was on the D-Day landing & fought his way across Europe. And I worry that, with the passing of this generation, we're losing our collective memory of what happened in Europe, how lucky we've been these past decades, & how precious peace is.
