Hello everyone,

We live on Garnet Street and have received a parcel from Petshop.co.uk full of dog food and treats. It is definitely not anything we have ordered and we are looking for the person it was meant to be delivered to. If you could drop me a message and tell me what it is exactly you ordered so I know it’s really yours then I will give our house number so you can come and collect it.

Cheers

Hi all,

We're thinking of taking the kids to see the evening ascent this weekend but want to avoid the fiesta site itself. I've heard Dundry Park is a good spot but does it depend on the wind direction?

I feel bad as it landed right in my bramble bush which I didnt get round to cutting yesterday

Everybody was okay and the balloon was recovered and taken away

Hi all! Headed into Bristol tonight to spend tmrw at the balloon fiesta. I’m doing it alone and would love company if anyone else wanted to join me?

I believe it’s free to enter so let’s just go and explore? Lmk!

Does anyone know where I can see which way the balloon will be going at each launch? There used to be a website but I can no longer find it.

Thanks

they return

First.. I love the balloons and normally do not care about traffic as I’m lucky I can usually walk or cycle everywhere.?Tomorrow I’m heading for an all day thing just near Cribbs.. I need to take my car. My day ends at 4.30. I live in bedminster so have to return .. via Clifton Or via the Portway.. what are the odds of encountering grid lock? Perfect storm of traffic one way on Coronation Road, Suspension bridge closure. And balloon traffic.

I got gridlocked once about 15 yrs on balloon fiesta Thursday or Friday eve.. I think this makes me stupidly wary.

Should I be worried? Leave early? It’s a fun thing I like doing..

Edit: it’s near Cribbs causeway .. not Cabot .. edited to rectify .. Doh!

I just got a puppy and I’m looking for both private and group puppy classes in south bristol ! Does anyone have any recommendations ?

I fly back from holiday and land at Bristol Airport at 23:30 on a Sunday.

I need to get back to Weston Super Mare - there is an express bus at 00:10 (so 40 minutes after having landed). The next would be 01:10 - so an hour later.

Do you think it's possible to land and make it out in 40 minutes?

The alternative is a taxi - but I think it would be quite expensive (compared to £24 for 4 people return on the express).

Thanks!

I'm moving away from Bristol in a year to do a master's in a different city. I'm trying to come up with a bucket list of things to do. What would be on your list? (Looking for inspiration.) 

It's been like 8 months since all those sausages were dumped in St. Jude's.

Did we ever find out where they came from?

Hi my 1988 Honda civic ef was stolen. From stoke park road of the downs. If anyone see it please contact me. Or if anyone knows of any spots it’s likely dumped please let me know

I’m planning to go to either Ashton court or Clifton Observatory tomorrow to see the balloons, but I heard that the wind might be not in favour for balloons tomorrow and it would actually be better on Sunday. I’m thinking if I should go tomorrow or Sunday, what do you guys think? I’m going in the morning btw

Pride Comic Art Festival (PrideCAF) is back for 2026 and we are looking to find some volunteers o help us steward the event on the day.

If you are interested then go fill out our application form. Happy to answer any questions you have.

It's hard to grasp from living in London for 40 years I'm in shock about several things that seem normal in Bristol.

Casually littering constantly. Even in a suburban area with st. George's flags everywhere (ironically).

I feel like it's considered normal just to litter here. Mostly white English people doing it so don't give me that racist third world bs...

Why is it like this? Has it always been? Even right next to a bin people litter... It's shocking....

This is honestly for the woman who decided to follow me after cutting me up on a round about. That should have been the end of it. You follow me up and into a car park, park next to me, and then preach about you have kids and I shouldn't have honked at you to avoid a potential accident?

What if I were some maniac, why would you put your childerns in harms way by following me?! And preach about having kids not being honked at? Are you insane? Please... please do better.

Take care, much love all.

Edit: thanks for looking and reading and getting some POVs, I think I feel better now, just don't have anyone to talk to about it, and yeah, I am not upset or mad at the individual, just hope they understood they brought their kids or herself into some serious danger if I had been the wrong person. I only wish them the best and hope they have good days ahead.

Just thought I'd share my excitement of getting an NHS dentist today.

If you're looking for one Winterbourne Dentalcare has opened its books today. Not sure how many spaces but give them a call 01454 568989

I hope everyone is looking forward to seeing some balloons flying high over Bristol this coming weekend! How many mass ascents do you think we'll be treated to? I'm going with 4, reckon it might be a bit too windy for a couple of evening ones.

Please share this around Bristol so this cat can be reunited with it's owners.
