I bought my first house in Bristol when I was just 20 years old, so the city is very special to me. I lived there for 10 years and managed to pay off the mortgage in full, before up scaling to the expensive big bright lights of London. You could kind of say that I formed my life backbone in Bristol.
It’s a
great little city, with 3 annual festivals: The International
Hot-air Balloon Festival,
BrisFest
and the
Harbour Festival. The city also has a large number
of attractions and historic places of interest. Visit the
SS Great Britain (the
worlds first steam ship), the spectacular
 Body Building |
 Old Galleries |
