Angela Carter, who lived for a while in Bristol, was known for her visual storytelling, which delved into fairy tale, surrealism, the Gothic and fantastic. The Royal West-of-England Academy (RWA) has an exhibition which brings together artists whose only connection is that their work resonates with the bizarre fictions of Carter’s imagination. It’s bonkers!

Lamplighter’s Marsh is a nature reserve on the north side of the River Avon, occupying a strip between the river and the Portway, the road connecting Bristol to the port of Avonmouth. It has a rich maritime and industrial history, as well as being a haven for wildlife.
We think that this building, on the south bank of the river opposite Lamplighter’s Marsh, was used to take patients from boats to the infectious diseases hospital (now Penny Brohn Cancer Care) in the last century.
A last-minute trip to Brighton, first time in years. Ate lots of fish and seafood and walked about ten miles up to the race course. Not as warm as Lisbon, where we had expected to be this week.
A lot colder than Lisbon, where we should have been!
