Make Sunday Special is bigger than ever!

Make Sunday Special is back... and even bigger and better than ever, apparently! The event gets bigger and bigger every year and for this year, the city council wants reach some of Bristol's neighbourhoods as well as having the fun in the city centre too.  For those who are not familiarised with Make Sunday Special, it is a unique chance to walk, enjoy, play and have fun in the city's busiest streets.

Lady Boys of Bangkok @ Castle Park

Yesterday, I started the week off right with the Lady Boys of Bangkok. The best therapy to recharge your batteries with a spectacular cabaret show of dance, music, choreography... and great sense of humour! The Lady Boys are a honourable part of the rich cultural heritage of Thailand and for the 17th time, the Thailand's best-known export has come back to Bristol! This year, the brand new show called Beauties and the Beats does not disappoint....

It's not a bike, it's not a pizza shop: It's The Pizza Bike!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to met and chat with Angel. He is The Pizza Bike, a Bulgarian guy on his orange magical bicycle, selling the most bizarre pizzas here and there.   GLPCB: Tell us a little bit about the story of your life. Why did you come and how long have you been in the UK?  THE PIZZA BIKE: The short version of the story is that I have been travelling quite a lot. I have been in the UK...

Bristol to Sea Mills: Cycle Path

I took my rusty bike for a ride today. It has been standing in my room for over a year and nobody has used it. The weather has been lush today and there was no excuse to stay in. This 15-km cycle path along River Avon is excellent for beginners and families with young children. The route is very simple: let's say you start at the Hippodrome, pass the Harbourside and just follow the river towards the Suspension Bridge. In a sunny day, there...

The Better Food is always in season!

It's Good Friday and St Paul's is quiet today. I walk down Sevier Street and I see people coming in and out of The Better Food Company, a supermarket selling local, organic, ethical and fair-trade goods, apparently open as usual. Outside the shop, I find a poster that says "Fashions come and go. Veg is always in season". Once and for all, I decide to have a look inside. When I go in, I find a very nice looking and appealing shop with a café...
