Places are important - we have conversations in them, our relationships evolve in them, we learn from them, we can enjoy and love them. I have lots of wonderful memories of Bristol Zoo.
Firstly visiting with my parents and sister as a child, later with friends, later again for carol singing later and most recently with my partner, parents, sister and nephew.
You don't need me to tell you how old the zoo was when it closed last week as doubtless you've read it a dozen times already. I thought I'd join the huge numbers of Bristol bloggers bidding farewell to Bristol Zoo. It will always have a special place in our hearts.
Some of our artists have been inspired by the zoo. I have this piece of art hung in my home myself. Explore the Bristol Zoo Collection at The Bristol Shop.
