Quite how he got to be 13 already I&#8217;ll never know. It was also half term last week so Anna and I took Friday off so that we could have a long weekend away. We therefore headed off after work on Thursday to my parents house just North of Bristol. We had booked a &#8216;room escape&#8217; activity for Morgan on the Saturday and had the rest of the weekend to amuse ourselves.<\/p>\n<h2>Banksy&#8217;s and Bristol<\/h2>\n<p>I went for an early morning swim on Friday while the others had a slow, lazy start to the day. The three of us then headed into Bristol on a glorious but cold sunny day. We visited M Shed which is a museum of Bristol life. I&#8217;m not sure I like museums like this &#8211; I tend to associate museums with things from days gone past. Trouble with this one is many of the exhibits are just the way I remember Bristol anyway! Maybe\u00a0I&#8217;m getting old. We had coffee and cake and a full blown ham and cheese toastie for Morgan in the caf\u00c3\u00a9 and took a look at the Banksy &#8216;Grim Reaper&#8217; that they have before\u00a0leaving.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26156\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Grim-Reaper.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26156\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Grim-Reaper-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Grim Reaper\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Grim-Reaper-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Grim-Reaper-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Grim-Reaper.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grim Reaper<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This used to be on the side of the Thekla, an alternative floating nightclub that I used to go to many years ago.<\/p>\n<p>We then wandered around the docks and over what to me is a new bridge and into the new harbourside area.

I remember it well when there was nothing at all here, just a few dilapidated warehouses.

Essentially we got locked in a room and had to solve various clues and puzzles in order to get out. We met my brother Jay there along with Morgan&#8217;s cousins who were joining us for the &#8216;experience&#8217;. After a brief safety talk we were given a walkie talkie that we could use should we need any clues and were locked into the room.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I\u00a0won&#8217;t give too much away but we managed to get out with 5 minutes to spare. The puzzles involved combination locks, various colours, clocks, magnets, mazes, ropes, lights and a few other things too. All good fun. Some were a little more difficult than others and we did have to ask for help a couple times. Although each time we did it turned out that it was only to avoid red herrings.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_26164\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/We-Escaped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26164\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/We-Escaped-720x537.jpg\" alt=\"We Escaped\" width=\"720\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/We-Escaped-720x537.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/We-Escaped-200x149.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/We-Escaped.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We Escaped<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Once we were out we headed off to Cribbs where we were meeting everyone else for a birthday lunch at Frankie &amp; Benny&#8217;s.
