A fruitless wander, as Spoke and Stringer (who I thought might do a decent flat white) were closed, and the only other harbourside inlet offering were a bit too busy to wait at, especially as I'd spent some time wandering some of the convolutions of Rownham Mead. This last congeries of dull alleyways and brown-painted garages was at least somewhere I've never been before, in parts.
This statue was down on the riverfront in Hotwells when I first moved into the area in 1999. It was moved up here after being removed during Bristol Water works in 2005. I think Bristol Water might've been finishing off the repairs following the collapse of the Portway near there in 2001, but I may be misremembering that.
