As I walked out one Sunday morning







I have literally walked my feet off today going from place to place here in Bristol to try and take some final pictures before I leave on Tuesday. There have been so many events today that you'd need to be in three place at once just to jeep up. First I decided to go to the Islamic Fyre in Eastville.

"Farooq Siddique, Bristol Muslim Cultural Society spokesman, said the event was about bringing communities together." Click here to find out more from BBC Bristol.

After I thought I'd also have a look at the Party on the Hill at St Michael's Hill and as I walked from Eastville I came across this concert in St Werberg's in a small square near the Albany Centre.

Then not sure if my legs would carry me up the incline I made it up to Cotham and watched more music played in a closed off street for the Party on the Hill. Great fun.

More flowers for the dead

"Police have arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of the murder of 28-year-old Simon Bampton in Bristol.

Mr Bampton, a construction worker from Southampton, was assaulted in Marsh Street, Bristol, just after 0230 BST on 19 August.

Police said two men were walking along Marsh Street when they were involved in an altercation.

A man got out of a car and punched Mr Bampton to the ground, causing him to hit his head.

He was taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary where he later died.

Police are appealing to witnesses or anyone with information about the incident to contact them. "

Lydia on the farm

Getting my goat

Me and Lydia took a packed lunch, and spent the day at the Windmill Hill city farm which was great as she got to see and feed the animals, make friends with other kids and play in their adventure playground. I recommend the place if you're figuring out what to do next with the kids during the school holidays and live in the Bristol area.
