Blast from the past

I was looking through old photos and found these from the Tico days (my former restaurant). It's been over 10 years since I sold it and time flies so quickly. But they bring back really good memories.

My new Flat... I hope.

If all goes well this is my new flat.
I won't say much more now because it could still fall through. But here you have it.

Flinty Red



Had a light lunch at the Flintys. Superb service from the young girl on shift. Really, really great manner and knowledge. Well Done! Food pretty good. Didn't rate the panisse much but the courgette salad was lovely. Lamb breast super. Hake a bit undercooked for me on the first showing. But very nice once given a bit more oven-love.Their passion is so evident in the whole place. Good work guys.

The hunt begins.

So back in Briz. Such a change from Tarragona. (Duh! Obvious) . ALL SEEMS VERY FAMILIAR. Immediate impressions are, in no particular order that Bristol is.....
Bigger.
Buzzier.
Uglier.
Dirtier.
More cosmopolitan.
More eclectic culturally.
Greyer.
More outward-looking.
Less traditional.
Less organized.
The food scene here is definitely more varied. More eclectic.
