A long meander around bits of Bedminster, from the river to the north to Winterstoke Road to the south, taking a few roads I've seen before, and a few I haven't. The Christmas decorations were an extra bonus.
This is the second house called DUNDRY VIEW I've found on my wanders. The first is on Cornwallis Avenue, much nearer to me.

A lovely walk in the early spring sunshine with my friend Lisa. We headed directly for Jacobs Wells Road, to start off around the scene of one of our earlier walks, but this time took in Jacobs Wells from QEH upward, stopping to snap some photos of a Bear With Me, some interesting areas between Park Street and Brandon Hill including a peculiarly quiet enclave with a ruined old build I'd never found before, then crossed the Centre to grab take-away pies from Pieminister (I had the Heidi Pie) and head back to my place down the harbourside.
I've been up there a few times—the main venue for gigs is behind those curtains to the right, I think, where I last saw Thea Gilmore, which I think means that the little balcony is next to the cafe, though I don't recall there being an outside space there. I may just not have been paying attention. I've had lessons at the Folk House in all sorts of things, from film developing to songwriting, some of them in those top floor rooms (though the darkroom is in a cellar area accessed from the front courtyard.)
