Pics from my talk at Redland Library in Bristol last night. Met some lovely people and there was a really good Q&A 😁

The audio of my similar talk on Dracula and Frankenstein, from last year, is still on my website www.richardgadz.co.uk

Mrs Gadz and I had a great time at the Keynsham Music Festival this weekend. My favourites: the Keynsham Show Choir, who were completely brilliant, and Bristol band Wakey Wakey Rise & Shione, who were also completely brilliant and possibly the loudest sound in the West of England 😆🤘

I never ever write reviews, but I do occasionally point out a book I've particularly liked, and I really enjoyed this one by @wendymoore99.bsky.social

Mrs Gadz and I went on one of the free @mayorsguides.bsky.social walking tours of the city yesterday. Learned a lot! Highly recommended!

Here's some pics of my trip to explore the Victorian vaults underneath the western side of the @brunelsbridge.bsky.social in Bristol. They were part of the original structure by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, then promptly lost to history until their rediscovery in 2002!
