A few Gromits are in the shopping centres. This is in the new Cabot Cove, oh sorry Cabot Circus, shopping centre. It's quite large and connects with another shopping centre. I say new but its been open five years now. I did look for Jessica Fletcher but I couldn't find her. Probably busy investigating the death of yet another nephew or cousin, not enough time for shopping.
Back over in the harbour area now. I'm by Arnolfini which is an arts centre in an old tea warehouse. It has all manner of things going on here - art exhibitions, music, dance and poetry readings. On the plus side it has a cafe bar that serves wine! There is water on three sides at this point and a swing bridge to get to the other side of the harbour. On the other side of the harbour are four old cranes, at least one still works, and the Pyronaut, a fireboat. She was built in 1934 and retired in 1972. She was sold with plans to convert it to a diving boat, which never went ahead, and sold again with plans to move her to Ireland. This didn't happen either and she got sold to Bristol City Museum where she was restored. She travelled to London in 2012 to take part in the Queens Jubilee Pageant. Though she went by road.
