On the other side

I'm a chicken. For the past month I've been in Bristol I've wanted to walk across the suspension bridge but never managed to due to my very weird fear of heights, which only strikes on bridges (maybe it's more of a fear of bridges rather than heights).

For the past couple of days my friend Yianni has been staying with me. He had a very important interview today so I offered him my couch. After the interview (which went really well, fingers crossed maybe he'll relocate here...) I took him for a walk around Bristol and, of course, one of the stops was the bridge. It was EXTREMELY windy but nonetheless he begged me for about half an hour to go with him on the bridge. I made him walk really fast and for the whole 200 odd meters of it i had to look at my feet otherwise I would have literally freaked out but I'm happy I've finally done it (kind of). I took this picture from the other side (I could not really stop midway through to blip, sorry) to prove that I did it. Thanks Yianni!

"I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you've know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside"
