Short UK trips, Wed, 17 Aug 2022 | written by Jemmon
Jemma and Simon at a City in Europe, UK

We got to Bristol and crashed in Aimee’s and Tuomas’ place. On the next day we had a slow morning, a festival shopping trip, and then went to return the van – though had to drive back again to pick up the dishes we washed. We then went to town to check out some sights, though not much, to be honest.

Early next day, we got picked up by Luke, who have us a ride to ArcTanGent. The festival was fantastic – if anything, it was too much great music, making my head spin a bit.

Back in Bristol, we spent a couple days meeting friends and sightseeing, mostly checking out the cathedral and a lot of street art. Bristol is where Banksy is from and we saw most of his pieces there. Another highlight was the SS Great Britain, a Victorian liner ship turned into a museum in an old dry dock. On Monday evening, we went for an excellent Indian meal which inspired this trip’s song:

I like a tasty curry, I like it with a naan,

I think dhal is dhalicious, I’ll have it with a naan,

And all the different chutneys, I’ll chuck them on my naan,

Fuck, even the samosas, I’d eat them with a naan!

Naan naan naan naan naan naan naan …
