    Review Highlights - St. Pauls Carnival

    Massive soundsystems are rigged up on a few key streets and heavier sounds of drum and bass and jungle take over from where dub and reggae left off.

    Stokes Croft is a sliver of land between the suburbs Kingsdown and Bishopston and inner city St…read more Pauls. It's definitely not the prettiest of areas. In fact it's pretty grey and depressing, with a fair few boarded up shops and a constant stream of cars roaring through on their way home or into the centre of Bristol. Possibly because people want to counter the dullness of the place some amazing grafitti has popped up here, which the grandly named People's Republic of Stokes Croft have claimed responsibility for. Some of the murals are beautiful (which of course are liable to change or get wiped out by the council without any notice) and I think it's a brave attempt to bring a little colour to what is a drab part of Bristol. There isn't yet a walking tour, but I can imagine one popping up - Bristol's urban art has been attracting a lot of interest recently. It's easy enough to see the sites by one's self though - a wonder along Jamaica Street and the road Stokes Croft itself should mean you see a few interesting sites. Their website reveals them as a fairly serious bunch. They have maps, ambitions to be some sort of official community group, and a mission statement that says they want to promote Stokes Croft as a 'cultural quarter'. I hope they go from strength to strength and continue to brighten up Stokes Croft. That their chairman Chris Chalkley was arrested for painting a 'Welcome to Stokes Croft' sign shows they've got a way to go before everyone comes round to this view.

    Stokes Croft: a gift and a curse to Bristol's culture. On one hand, this area of town is dodgy as…read morethey come, with antisocial behaviour and crime, this is a threatening place to be if you're alone and feeling vulnerable, especially towards the St James Roundabout. On the other hand, Stokes Croft is a gem. Full of artists and musicians, businesses like venues, cafes and arts centres are rapidly growing, what with Hamilton House, the Left Bank Centre, Metropolis and Cafe Kino all newly developing. When I miss Bristol, I miss places like Stokes Croft, but also can feel a little unsafe walking around there. It's definitely worth a visit. This is Bristol as much as Clifton is.

The one in St. Werburghs describes itself as a green oasis in the heart of the city and it's true. Surrounded by sleepy terraces you're welcomed by authentic farm smells and sounds. The only thing missing is the grouchy farmer telling you to get off his land They've got the full gamut of farm animals and there are various activities on offer. There's a big education focus and they get loads of school kids through here (its probably the first time a few them have seen where meat actually comes from). You can just have a look round though, and there's an excellent cafe when you can get a slice of cake. The products of the farm are on offer too, if you're looking for a bit of dinner. A relief after miles of concrete and graffiti, St. Werburghs farm really is an oasis

    St Werburghs Farm is one of a couple of inner city farms in Bristol. It's an amazing achievement…read morethat is constantly improving and expanding within the confines of this densely populated environment. Flanked on three sides by things that deny access (sprawling allotments and private land), there is only one road leading to the place, which makes for a pretty secluded feel, despite the fact that it is smack bang in the middle of such a heavily populated area. The main attractions are, to my mind, the endlessly grumpy pigs who tend to complain and moan to each other, but are seemingly indifferent to humans. Then there's the much more sociable goats who occupy the main enclosure and can be viewed from the street. My favourite is an unfeasibly large billy called Elvis who goes to some incredible lengths to reach the hawthorn tree that is cordoned off within their grassy compound, usually involving death defying feats in an effort to scale the fencing. There's no entry fee, but donations are welcomed. With the Farm pub and café adjacent, there's everything needed for a fun packed day out for all the family.

If it hadn't been for the extreme generosity of spirit of the people at The Salvation Army in providing me with all sorts of assistance, (use of their office computer, the printing of my insurance certificate and ultimately taking me to Avonmouth to retrieve my car etc.) I would have faced the prospect of, as a female, sleeping rough in Bristol in sub-zero conditions as I could not have afforded a hotel or a taxi to North Somerset where I live. I consider myself extremely lucky to have been so well supported by people who had no obligation to assist me whatsoever. I have emailed them today to offer my voluntary support as a way of saying thank you for their kindness. Tracey, the Minister on duty at the Salvation Army Citadel, dropped me off at the pound, making a considerable trip in icy conditions, despite having a young child with her, who obviously would have preferred to go home for her tea. Matt, one of the lovely people who works in the offices at the Bristol Salvation Army HQ had previously supported all of my efforts to find out what had happened to my car, (I thought it had been stolen), by surfing the internet and making calls etc. He then printed documents that were essential in order to get my car released. I cannot say thank you enough!

I bought an as-new pair of high quality trousers for 2.50 recently. The selection of books, CDs and other items is generally much more limited, though this fluctuates. Remember to try clothes on in the changing room, as they are often incorrectly labelled!

I also picked up a cute white lace dress, I reckon it was probably a 1970s nightie, however it looked just like the dresses I had seen selling in Camden the week before for 30 odd quid.I popped in here last week and they had a really sweet retro blouse, again I reckon this was some retro item from the 70s but it looked very 'now'. It also has a cheap selection of books, the range can be a bit chick lit heavy but its possible to find the odd cheap gem.

If wool isn't your thing then the entertainment section is quite big for such a small shop. Although very are very few people that still have video recorders if any of your friends do then send them here - there is a large selection of videos in good condition of as little as 50p each. There are also plenty of books and the odd CD or record, though these are few and far between. The staff here are lovely - quite old but always chatting with customers and answering any questions you might have about the shop. Although I didn't find any clothes I liked on my most recent visit, this shop has served me quite well in the past, with decent tops and jumpers for under a fiver. Well worth a look if you're in the area.
