Our feeder ride down through the #EastBristolLiveableNeighbourhood was equally lovely. This 100% wouldn’t have been the safe and lovely ride it was without the traffic filters. Streets for kids! 🖤EBLN
Several adults and kids cycle past a planter with ‘Road Closed’ and ‘Road open to pedestrians, scooters, wheelchairs and bicycles’ signs

A poster for the East Bristol Kidical Mass feeder ride. It shows three children cycling happily along a simple route timeline with the following stops and times: 10:00 Magic Rocket Pre-school, 10:20 Air Balloon School, 10:30 The Avenue, 10:40 Wellspring Surgery, and 11:00 Castle Park. The background is light blue with simple, flat-style illustrations. The title reads “Kidical Mass – East Bristol Feeder Ride – This Saturday.”

Commuting

- Bristol Ferry from Netham Lock
From a small blue ferry boat, looking ahead a long a sunny canal. There are two swans coming towards the boat, and a bridge in the distance. There are lots of trees lining the water, in full leaf.

Pleased to see at least one of the filters in the #EastBristolLivableNeighbourhood repositioned so it’s no longer blocking dropped curbs. Yes, it should never have been installed incorrectly in the first place, but the benefit of the trial is the flexibility to correct mistakes
Two planters and three bollards on a residential street. There are dropped curbs in front of the planters.

The #EastBristolLiveableNeighbourhood #EBLN has tamed Beaufort Road to the point that we’ve been able to restart our #PlayStreet @playingout.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️
Looking down Beaufort Road in St George, Bristol. The picture shows a section closed to traffic, with children chalking and playing in the road.

Appreciating the colours of winter, all the more beautiful for their scarcity.
#Bristol
The river Avon from the Crews Hole river path in Bristol. It’s a gray mid-winter day, but the red dogwood and orange willow are colourful against the dusky browns of the woods in the background.

Winter wellbeing walk up to Troopers Hill.

At one point I absentmindedly stopped to stroke some moss, and got an odd look from a dog walker.
A winding set of steps up a muddy, wintery hillside.

The trees have arrived at the Red Flower Barrow on Church Road #Bristol #Christmas
A row of shops on a UK high street. Along the pavement is a long row of Christmas trees, of varying sizes.
