What Moving To Bristol During COVID Taught Me
Today marks 1 month since I officially moved to Bristol. I originally imagined it would be filled with adventures to every corner of the city, evenings meeting new people at the pub, and weekend adventures to the beach. The lockdown after New Year’s made sure none of that played out.
Moving To England During the Nation’s 3rd Lockdown
