Growing up in New Zealand to Bristolian parents I often got weird looks for my general attitude, accent (a unique hybrid Kiwi/Bristol accent) and outlook on the world, or generally considered an outsider, when I visited Bristol I learnt where everything that made me who I am came from and that I wasn't "a weird outsider" but that there was a place where I could fit in and not be judged. I've visited Bristol 3 times now in my adult life and still like to think of it as a kinda home away from home, or at least feels more homely than here at times. I love walking through St Nicholas Markets and checking out the stalls or just walking the city in general.
I moved across 'The Pond' to Colorado. It's beautiful here, but I do miss home. Unfortunately, I can barely afford the bus fare to get into Denver, so an international flight is right out of the question. I was last back there at the beginning of 2006. I've watched lots of movies on here, and it's just incredible how much Bristol has changed over the past ten years.
The first city to which I visit in Europe and the UK. All people whom I met in the city were funny, nice and kind. I still remember that I talked with a Bristolian guy who was really interested in the Northeastern Asia where I'm from. I do miss when I was in there so much. Thanks for uploading the viedo. Gert lush!
Great vidclip, Ciara! I lived and worked in Brizzle for only 2 years, during 1977-79 - mostly residing on a boat in the docks! - but it was my favourite place visited in England and I always hoped I could return to stay for longer. Highly unlikely now, as money and health issues preclude that. However, it looks like the city and environs have gotten even more special as the years have passed!! I carry very fond memories of both the place and its people ……. Cheers, RjB (Down Under)
Brilliant. I was an exchange student at University of in 1980. I loved Bristol. I lived in the Montpelier area of town, and hoisted a pint or two at the Duke of Sussex down the road in St. Paul's. I hope to go back before my time is done, as I was thrilled to live in one of the best cities anywhere.
You captured the City's atmosphere perfectly! It's a beautiful place which has so much on offer. I love a coffee in The Canteen, or a pint somewhere in Kings Street. My Sister moved there from Belfast last year, so I always get over with my Camera every couple months. Great Video, hope you're keeping well!
I just visited Bristol today. I was wowed by the giant murals that I could see in some buildings I like the view in the Clifton bridge as well, beautiful!
Wicked Video!! Great commentary, some amazing shots. Loved it from start to finish! From a fellow Bristolian, 26 Years Old.. Southmead Hospital!! lol. All the best. :-)
I just come across this video, I plan moving from plymouth to Bristol next year. I have too lovely kids, 4years and 20 months old. Can you recommend a safe and good places to look out for properties in Bristol please?
This is so awesome! I was there this past summer for the first time, I remember seeing those Grommet sculptures on the boats ^^ i made a short video about it too, i liked the bear pit a lot!
Really loved your video! We´re a young couple of photographers planing on moving to Bristol this year. We visited 2 years ago and fell in love with the city
Hey Ciara! I've just seen your video and really enjoyed. I am french and living in London since Feb 2016. I've been in Bristol for 2 days trip 3 times now and I like it so much ! Your video shows exactly how I see Bristol and how I would like people to look at it ! Everyone shoud come to discover :) !
SuperSamStuff do it! If you like football then you can go to Ashton gate which is not far from the suspension bridge (Bristol city’s stadium) and maybe learn about the history like the old vid which is like 170 years old and the suspension bridge built in the 1800s
I'm from the states, but I lived in Bristol from ages 5-9, my mum wanted to move there and my dad is from London, so there was no problems being able to do so Bristol was the first place I could really call home, so when people ask where I'm from my answer usually tends to be Bristol
That's awesome Ciara, you've captured the essence of Bristol. I am a Bristolian of 61 years. You mentioned your hospital visits, are you a heart patient ?
J'ai connu Bristol dans les années 1950/1960, je suis français et ma mère franco-britannique habitait bayham road Knowles Bristol, à l'âge de 20 ans je suis parti habiter en France chez mes grands parents. A 80 ans j'ai encore de très bons souvenirs de Bristol une ville très belle avec son musée, son zoo, le suspension bridge et old market. J'ai laissé beaucoup d'amis qui malheureusement ne sont plus la !
Left Bristol 18 yrs Ago.. It Has Never left My Heart. I moved to Southern Ireland ? After Running The One n Only MARDYKE MOTORCYCLE ROCK BAR! 😎. At least It Was Back Then! Got despondent..😢 ..Culture of England was Dying and Everybody was Paddy's Day Mad! So I embarked on Trying to Promote St George's Day from my Shop on The Christmas Steps and My Organic Veg Stall in The Glass Arcade St Nicks Market.. I handed out And Gave away Red Cross 'St George's' Flags.. I offered them To My Bank My Churches Establishments With Bare Flag poles Etc Etc Etc .. But To No Avail.. I heard The Waterboys singing Old ENGLAND Is Dying.. And I couldn't ve Have Agreed More.. I sadly came to The conclusion She Was lost and Spiritually Dying... So I embarked on A journey That Id've NEVER Believed..That I'd leave My Home Town Port of BRISTOL.. What a Religious trip I've Been On both Highs n Lows. But Now I see England Is Sinking even Deeper down The Tubes!😢 . Overcrowded Messy And Not A Red Cross Banner to be Seen??? Madness at Work.. I've spent More Times visiting Home.. Now I Carry My Red Cross And Raise It Where ever I Go!😇.No Other Flag Can Hold A Candle to It! So Get out and Join the Few! HallelUjah and Amen. Yours Sincerely Ozzy Osborne Aka BRISTOL IAN. Non Nobis Domini.
