The moment writers work towards: when they see the cover of the book they have been writing for many years! Dream becomes reality. I can now leave my hermit-like existence and re-enter the real world.

PS The spine isn't that big! The blue bleeds onto the front and back cover.

@WeirdBristol What about nearby Catbrain Lane? Any ideas about the derivation of that?

[Bristol Miscellany @brizmiz]

@char1iewatts Don't go there!

[Bristol Miscellany @brizmiz]

@char1iewatts Crawling through these tunnels would probably be a quicker option.

'I arrived in Bristol the week that Arnolfini moved to its present location on Narrow Quay,' writes
@MansonMike. Read his essay on his early days in Bristol, featured in the forthcoming Bristol 650 book.

Yesterday's piece about my #SarahRecords book (in the Bristol Post newspaper) is now up on their website - which makes it so much easier to read than having to squint at the photo I shared. It also has more photos!

@WeirdBristol I've always thought they were from the 18th century rebuild and removed when the Victorians widened the bridge.

MAKING HISTORY
I'm running a workshop at Bristol Central Library, 12 noon, 18 May, on writing history. I'm excited, as it will be held in the lovely, hogwartian Bristol Room. The session is free, but you have to book.

@MrRayNewman Fantastic!

[Bristol Miscellany @brizmiz]

@MrRayNewman what’s the Radio West book? I used to be their careers adviser.

@char1iewatts @SaveRedlandLibr The same happens with the 70. Supposed to run to Temple Meads but often randomly terminates at the Centre
