Where does one begin. Once upon a time, two soon to be students embarked on their adventure to Bristol Temple Meads. A usually stressful process of finding shelter in the crowded streets of the West was made easier as we stumbled across little bear and her owner, Rachel. Her quick responses and general manner drew us in as she swiftly confirmed our stay. The adventure was now ready.
Nervous, but excited we followed the ever so helpful directions provided by our host and quickly made way on foot. The house was lovely and what was even lovelier was our greeting. We opened the door to a friendly University of Bristol lecturer, ready to welcome us unto her home.
We proceeded to a tour of the house; the grand finale being a much needed cup of tea where we furthered our understandings of one another. Here we were also given a short summary of the places to explore in Totterdown, a small but appreciated touch.
We then moved to the bedroom. Our first impressions of the room were good. It was clean, tidy and very cosy; there was a clear effort made to make sure we felt at home. It was just what we needed to come home to after beginning the experience of university.
The first impressions certainly lasted. Despite spending most of the time starting our University adventure, it was certainly nice coming back to a stylish room we were proud to call ours for 3 days. The only regret of our trip is that we couldn’t stay for longer. Thank you Rachel for your hospitality and time.
