Bee Festival Bristol Botanic Gardens
I went to a Bloggers event hosted by @BristolBloggers at the University of Bristol Botanic Gardens during their Bee festival.
More information about the festival here:
We were given a guided tour of the gardens from one of the expert garden volunteers, visiting the Japanese garden and Evolution Garden (Jurassic period) with spiky plants and ferns from the time of the dinosaurs before moving on on to the fragrant Mediterannean garden and lily pond.
- Our visit coincided with the Bee and Pollination festival with lots of exciting activities going on such as a demonstration of the workings of a live hive, learning how to build insect hotels and weaving willow sculptures. Aaron loved rolling a candle and making a bee out of willow.
- The festival also includes other exhibitors such as the Avon Beekeeper's association, Avon Wildlife Trust, metalwork displays and Neals Yard showing their Bee Lovely collection.
- At the end of the video you see us visiting the glasshouse behind the car park with water lilies, cactus and orchids on display in the tropical and temperate zones. In there the pollinators are beetles and cockroaches.

Bristol Botanical Gardens and Glasshouse (2011)
'Wow, a new University Botanic Garden here in Bristol -- what an achievement!' -- celebrated conservationist and botanist, Professor David Bellamy (July 2008.)
Welcome to a beautiful garden filled with a huge diversity of plants, including many exotic species set in inspirational displays against the backdrop of a striking Victorian house. The University of Bristol Botanic Garden is the first new university botanic garden to be created in the United Kingdom for nearly forty years.

Bristol is a city straddling the River Avon in the southwest of England with a prosperous maritime history. Its former city-centre port is now a cultural hub, the Harbourside, where the M Shed museum explores local social and industrial heritage. The harbour's 19th-century warehouses now contain restaurants, shops and cultural institutions such as contemporary art gallery The Arnolfini.
Bristol was a starting place for early voyages of exploration to the New World. On a ship out of Bristol in 1497 John Cabot, a Venetian, became the first European since the Vikings to land on mainland North America. In 1499 William Weston, a Bristol merchant, was the first Englishman to lead an exploration to North America. At the height of the Bristol slave trade, from 1700 to 1807, more than 2,000 slave ships carried an estimated 500,000 people from Africa to slavery in the Americas. The Port of Bristol has since moved from Bristol Harbour in the city centre to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock.
Bristol's modern economy is built on the creative media, electronics and aerospace industries, and the city-centre docks have been redeveloped as centres of heritage and culture. The city has the largest circulating community currency in the U.K.- the Bristol pound, which is pegged to the Pound sterling. The city has two universities, the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol and a variety of artistic and sporting organisations and venues including the Royal West of England Academy, the Arnolfini, Spike Island, Ashton Gate and the Memorial Stadium. It is connected to London and other major UK cities by road, rail, sea and air by the M5 and M4 (which connect to the city centre by the Portway and M32), Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway mainline rail stations, and Bristol Airport.
One of the UK's most popular tourist destinations, Bristol was selected in 2009 as one of the world's top ten cities by international travel publishers Dorling Kindersley in their Eyewitness series of travel guides. The Sunday Times named it as the best city in Britain in which to live in 2014 and 2017, and Bristol also won the EU's European Green Capital Award in 2015.

Bristol Uni Botanical Gardens l expired Technicolor
There was a British guy on eBay selling expired respooled Technicolor film. He was calling it 'rare' and selling it in cartridge size for 8mm cameras. I was skeptical and worried that I'd get a projector cartridge, but for £13 I took a gamble. It definitely doesn't look as good as fresh Technicolor from back in the day, but hopefully the seller lists more and I can keep experimenting to get an exact formula.

The Tourist City of Bristol in South West England
Located on the River Avon, Bristol is often referred to as the Capital of the West Country and the Britain's eighth largest city. Famous for its historic port, Bristol's former docklands and warehouses have been regenerated to provide a wonderful waterfront area of historic attractions, cafés and restaurants while shipping is now conducted seven miles downstream at the newer Royal Portbury Docks at Avonmouth.
Although badly damaged during World War II, this maritime city has some wonderful Georgian and Victorian architecture. Characterful merchants' houses and pubs dating back to the 1650s and the remains of the old city walls can be explored along King Street, which was named after Charles II.
Visitors will find an abundance of maritime history, street art, independent shops, engineering marvels such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge and a ready supply of museums, art galleries, theatres, parks, festivals and family attractions in this pleasant city.
After dark, Bristol's nightlife keeps the Harbourside humming to the beat of underground music and reggae in one of Britain's most musical cities.

Tea in Clifton and Coffee downtown in Bristol
A bit of a mad rush through Bristol, but found one of the nicest contemporary tea rooms in the country in Clifton and what must be one of the first independent coffee shops in the UK down in the centre of town. Then another new coffee shop opened just after our visit.
Wild Place Project, Bristol
In het tweede project van de Zoo van Bristol, in Wild Place, vinden we diverse diersoorten in een grotere setting terug. Gaande van Gelada's tot ook okapi's. Deze laatste vinden we hier terug in een fraai bosrijk stukje. Beter kan je deze bosdieren niet plaatsen. Kijken jullie mee? :)
