It was a bit soggy as GoodGym Bristol set out from Queen Square via the installations of the Bristol Light Festival, aiming for Brunswick Cemetery.

A whistle-stop tour, looking enviously at the illuminated umbrellas if the guides, it definitely brightened the spirits.

At the cemetery the rain got worse and worse but the spiral and re-laid turf got better and better! Passers by were also slightly intrigued by the soggy volunteers gardening in the dark, we are very used to it now!

After much exploration we headed back to the Square and on to GoodGym Eats at a vegetarian Chinese restaurant where many unexpected situations were discussed, especially the numerous occurrences of unexpected eggs.

We'd dried off a bit by the time we set out in the rain to get home, full of cheer and Chinese goodness.
