cxcvi requested a non-sculpture-trail photo of Bristol. I took this when Keiki and I went there for the day for one of the last weekends of my maternity leave. It's a view of the ruined Saint Peter's Church in Castle Park, near Cabot Circus shopping centre (where we parked). I love the symmetrical lines of the modern sculpture contrasted with the Norman/medieval solidity of the stone edifice behind it.

On Tuesday I drove to Bristol to start hunting the 70 Shaun sculptures on display there. It was a more challenging drive than I was expecting as the motorways were busy plus driving in an unfamiliar city plus my satnav falling off the windscreen just as I was merging onto the M32. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the maps on my satnav have not been updated for four years and it was far easier to follow the signs to the car park. Still, I was tired by the time I arrived, so I’m pleased I actually managed to complete a trail (the Old City Trail, allowing Keiki and me to bagsie 10 Shauns) at all!
