On a Piratical and Social Justice Weekend in Bristol
A very pleasant weekend in Bristol with Bluebird. Mainly pirates but with some psychology and gender politics.

On Bristol - A Partial Reappraisal
I am often harsh about Bristol.
I’ve been visiting Bristol for about 15 years now. At first as a accountancy trainee, latterly as a good place to take Bluebird for our monthly access weekends.
Over the years, and more so in more recent years, I’ve noticed a real improvement in the city. It has more things to do, more cultural capital, the city centre seems less shaby, the pubs and restuarants more enjoyable.
I think this is backed up by statisitcs and surveys showing that the city enjoys a strong economy and a good standard of living.
There are still problems but I no longer hate visiting.
