It’s time for this year’s Harbour Festival. The line up looks really good and it’s free. I know I’ll be disappointed to be missing Beth Rowley on Saturday evening. This is an ideal befriending outing as there’ll be something for all age groups and interests (unless the child you’re matched with hates noise or crowds!).

“A train service, much loved by Bristol’s cyclists, is back on the rails. The Sun and Sand Explorer runs between Bristol Temple Meads and Weymouth every Saturday until the end of AugustA similar service used to run twice daily down to the south coast, but it was not included in the latest franchise agreement between the Department for Transport and First Great Western. However, following lobbying by disappointed sun seekers, First announced that it would reinstate the service during the summer months.
It’s a reminder of how rail travel used to be. The vintage diesel locomotives that haul the train are (gosh!) reliable. The old carriages have (gasp!) lots of space. Passengers get to enjoy (wow!) comfy seats and tables. And most amazing of all (get this!) there’s a humungous guard’s van that takes bicycles.

The latest version of the Titch Hikers Guide to Bristol is now out as a special summer edition (£2.99). We got a free copy in the office, because Time2Share is featured in the guide on page 134. If you’re interested in getting your own copy look at this link: http://www.freedomguide.co.uk/ (this also includes options to buy the other books in the series). Alternatively I can look up details for you using our copy, just email me on bristol@time2share.org.uk or phone into the office (941 5868). If I ever get the time to do it, I may post some of the most useful looking tips here…

The farm provides an excellent opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn about farming and to become actively involved in the production of their food. Animals on the farm include a variety of goats, sheep, pigs, cattle and poultry.
They work closely with local schools, taking groups on tours of the farm, explaining about recycling, the environment, animals and how food is produced. Information and worksheets are available, and we can supply fertile eggs and incubators for use in classrooms.
The community gardens are made up of plots where local residents grow their own vegetables, fruit and flowers. There are communal areas with flower gardens and an ornamental pond. The horticultural centre includes a greenhouse, polytunnel and cold frames.
