Portishead Marina (a sunny evening stroll) 

Thanks so much! It’s really so beautiful …so relaxing to walk around.

Ah lovely! So pleased you enjoyed it! I loved re discovering it and placing the places I remembered in vague childhood memories into their actual locations. Now I have got my bearings I can not wait to go back and make a proper video about the town and beach area too!

Thanks Cathy! I am looking forward to showing the lovely town and some beach walks around there sometime soon too. What I enjoyed most about my day there was piecing together vague memories of places and seeing how they are located in the town. I had no idea what was near what. Also, I love that I can now visualise the area where my dad used to work when I was little.

Yes I understand why you wanted to do that. Its part of getting older and thinking about our family history xx

Thanks so much Faith 🤗 I love evening sunshine for walking but it’s sometimes tricky for filming. Yes, the sculpture trail is fascinating. I am looking forward to going back there to do a fish video now that I have my bearings.

Thanks Amanda! I would love to wake up to the marina views every day and remember that in that same place my dad worked when it was a power station.

@@SouthWestSundays I think that's your retirement home there Louise. Lovely memories.

It’s a lovely town Paul. So glad I have rediscovered it. Yep, you can get there on the bus from Bristol bus station. The buses run really regularly out there and it’s a lovely journey and goes through another village that my grandparents lived in that I will definitely cover for the channel one day too.

Oh wow!! Our paths may have crossed there as I was there in the 1970s too! I really like the marina development. We moved away because the power station would be closing. My dad got a job in another power station in Wales.

Ah yes., you must visit Jesse! It’s lovely!! It’s a really nice bus ride. It was particularly nice for me as I passed through places that I have lots of vague childhood memories of. Villages etc. My old school is no longer there but the town high street still felt familiar. There is a beach and an open air swimming pool and also coastal walks there.

Oh, it was yours!! It’s a very nice looking yacht!! Yes, it’s really changed. I don’t remember it how it was when I lived there, but it makes for a really pleasant wander. Parts of the town are as I remember… like some of the high street, although my old school has gone. Also the beach and marine lake felt familiar.

I agree. Once I had heard that explanation I could really see it and it links in with the town’s history of producing phosphorus.
