I headed over to England primarily for Suzy and Dan's wedding, but Tom and I actually spent 5 days together in England (apart from two days he spend in Jersey, this is the most I saw of him in 5 or 6 weeks!). 

 

We spent two days in Bristol, going back to old haunts and meeting up with a few uni friends.  We also got poshed up and went out for a fabulous meal to Byzantium, where we ate the most wonderful food we'd eaten since the last time we went there, got drunk on expensive liqueurs, and were entertained by a magician who was pottering between the tables.  We've eaten here three times now, and we both highly recommend it (but be warned - it isn't cheap).  

 

From Bristol, we drove down to Brighton, stopping off the night before at a nice little B&B within striking distance of the church.

 

After the wedding, we visited Salisbury, Old Sarum and Stone Henge, staying that night in a fab little pub in the middle of no-where - again getting drunk on expensive wine!  

 

Here are a few pics....

 

 

Clifton Suspension Bridge.  Designed by Brunel, but 

not constructed until after his death.  

Famous Bristol landmark.
