Lola’s Gromitathon – the last one in Bristol…
As you know by now, Gromits have appeared all over Bristol, to raise money for Bristol Children’s Hospital. OH and I are going to donate to that appeal – BUT Lola is visiting each and every Gromit to have her photo taken to raise money for the charity she is trained by – Medical Detection Dogs.
Information on the charity is below on other posts, if you would like to donate please link from here: Lola’s Gromitathon!
Today we visited the last Gromit we had to do in Bristol. It was at Ashton Court – the 850 acre Estate belonging to the people of Bristol. There are fallow and red deer parks, ancient woodlands, meadows, grasslands, formal gardens and a Grade 1 listed Mansion – and a café in a courtyard, which at the moment houses a rather spiffy Gromit.
Here it is – ‘Grant’s Gromit’ painted by Rosie Ashforth, with our Lola:
We had left this one till this weekend as last weekend Ashton Court (Lola’s favourite Bristol walk!) was the venue for Britol’s wonderful balloon fiesta. We have now done 77 Gromits – which leaves only 3 to do!!!!
Those 3 however are rather far away… the very last being London, Paddington. We are going to attempt that one tomorrow!
