Until recently, if you suffered an accident in the Bristol area which required an air ambulance you…read morehad to rely on the neighbouring (and excellent) Wiltshire Air Ambulance or the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance which, as the name suggests, has a pretty long way to come. But thanks to an injection of money from various agencies, including the Great Western Ambulance Service, the Avon Air Ambulance has come into being. It's a smaller bright yellow helicopter (one of the older type used in Wales to be precise) than the Wiltshire one and it cannot fly at night, but it can manoeuvre into tricky spaces in the city and can easily land at Bristol's Frenchay Hospital. It must be remembered though that it is, along with most air ambulances in the country, a charity and relies on donations from the public to keep it going. So do what you can and rest assured that should you need it, then it will be there (as long as it's in daylight hours!

Our crew attend the most critical incidents across the region by helicopter or by one of our two critical care cars. When someone is seriously ill or injured time is of the essence, and they need expert help fast. This is where we come in. The GWAAC Critical Care Team consists of a highly trained and experienced Pilot, a Specialist Paramedic in Critical Care and a Critical Care Doctor. From emergency blood transfusions to roadside amputations or treating cardiac arrests, our crew specialise in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine and Trauma Medicine, bringing the skills and expertise of an Emergency Department to the patient. In 2018 the Critical Care Team attended 1,887 jobs: by helicopter and by one of our critical care cars, our busiest year to date. On average we attend 5 incidents every day, but some days it's many more. As a charity we need to raise over £3 million each year to stay operational, but receive no day to day funding from the Government or National Lottery. This means we rely on the generosity of our donors and supporters to keep flying.

A good friend…read moreof mine has been dealing with them on behalf of her mother, who sadly had a stroke about 6 months ago. She is on the road to recovery at the moment, but has sustained a couple of injuries when she has fallen in her efforts to do more than her condition allows, one of which resulted in her losing her dentures, which fractured when landed beneath her. Discussions have taken a curious and comical route to us both knowing an awful lot about dentures way before our time! We have both become a little obsessed with them if the truth be known. Our initial horror at the idea of having a set of our own, has given way to an appreciation of the function they perform, and a complete respect for the people that make them. Andrews Denture Clinic are clearly very good at what they do! Not only have they handled the demands placed upon them admirably, they have done so with a discretion and professionalism that is commendable.

We had our family holiday here last year. They have about 8 adapted chalets which are very spacious…read moreand can sleep up to 8 people. The interior decor is fantastic and set out very well, they accommodation we stayed in was a lovely lodge which was very comfortable and had 2 bathrooms and toilets as well as 3 bedrooms, a nice lounge with dvd player and French doors leading out to a veranda with table and chairs. The clubhouse is a large building but looks from the outside like an old worldly pub. It's very pretty from the outside and also the reception is in there. The food was great, reasonably priced and very homely, there was a nice area with sofas and a tv and bookshelves if you didn't want to join the main club area. Of course there was a main area with entertainment but we didn't go in there not our cup of tea but it was a large area with many tables and chairs. Plenty for the kids to do and a lovely area. Top notch management staff very friendly and you don't have to pay for the club passes.

We've just enjoyed a four day holiday at Hoburn Naish, using an 8 bed Solent Lodge. Four day breaks…read morerequire booking in at reception from 4pm on the Monday. If you require an extra key, there is a £5 deposit. The Solent lodge has a sun deck with two large green plastic tables and accompanying chair. The gate to the sundeck has a lock on it, high enough to deter small fingers. As you step into the lodge, the dining area is directly to your left (It is a tight squeeze if you are at full capacity, you'll need to keep your elbows in and you will need to pull the table out slightly before dining). The kitchen is next and the cupboards were well stocked with plates, cups, glasses and bowls. There was a full selecting of cutlery, but we found the knives we were provided with were blunt. Reception sent us a new set straight away. The lounge area had two sofas and an armchair, a fireplace, a coffee table, a colour flatscreen and DVD player. As we had a curious one year old with us, we used the coffee table to block the fireplace. There is a storage cupboard in the lounge area Through a multi panelled glass door, you will find the side door to the property and the first of the two bathrooms. This first bathroom had a toilet, sink, cabinet, mirror, sink shelf and shower. Our lodge had four bedrooms. Reception were able to provide a cot for the one year old upon request. There were two double bedrooms consisting of full wall wardrobes, two bedside cabinets, wall mounted heater, dressing table, trunk and chest of drawers. Very tight squeeze. We had a bedroom with two single beds in and the bedroom we used for the baby where there were an additional 4 mattresses piled up. The second bathroom had a toilet, sink and bath with shower screen. In the park club, you will find reception, a wall full of attraction tourist leaflets, a mini arcade, ball pit for the kids, a number of toilets dotted around, indoor bar with sports (mainly footie) on a very small tv in the corner of the ceiling, a large hall where the evening's events happen, and another pub that has a garden, dart board, pool table and 2 lane bowling alley. The arcade has ticket machines that can be cashed in for toys from the in-arcade shop, there are 2p machines everywhere, various big machines like Time Crisis 3, motorbike, car games, pool and snooker tables. There is a snack machine in the foyer next to reception. Darts has a £5 deposit normally but we had the fee waivered when the barlady couldn't find three matching darts. The bowling alley is £1.50 payable through a slot in the machine. The garden/smoking area is not sheltered. The evening entertainment at the club consists of early things for kids, kids disco, bingo, quizzes and caberet. I went to the bingo one night which was fun, £1 per book with three games in. I went at the beginning of the season so it was fairly quiet and prizes were between £10 an £30 a game. The park also has a fully stocked gym, kids pool and adult pool. You need to take your shoes off before entering the changing area. There are four family changing cubicles and umpteen individual cubicles that are too small to get in! I'm a size 12-14, so I'm not too fat to get in them! There are mens, ladies and disabled toilets. The only drawback is there are only two unisex showers that are in full view of the adult pool. I assume they think you'll go back to your lodge and use the shower there. There is a separate hot and cold shower at the end of the adult pool which you use before using the steam room and sauna. There is also a kids adventure playground on the site, a laundrette and a Nisa shop. The tourist stuff was pricey, but regular stuff was a normal price, chocolate being cheaper than back home! There is a lovely beach behind the lodge park with sand and shingle, very clear water. The route down to the beach is not buggy/pram proof and I advise you carry your little ones down there. You won't be able to drag the buggy of the shingle/rocks with ease anyway. On the way back from the beach, having taken a damned buggy, we decided to try and find a smoother route back to the lodge park. We discovered Chewton Bunny Reserve which runs alongside the lodge park. Beautiful scenery and ends by a couple steps up to the main road where you can peer down into the weir. Booking out was 10AM on the Friday morning.

Large benches looking onto the cottage-like facade make for what I imagine a gorgeous place to enjoy some Pimms in the summer. However, in the chilly December nights we took refuge inside the establishment, furnished with light-wood, bright and simply decorated. The right hand side of the inn features a wall-papered library theme with shelves of books printed onto the walls. This makes for an interesting feel of studious eating. Almost a little bit stressful after all the student hours spent in the library. The steak cooked rare was very nice indeed, virtually without fatty discard and a succulent flavor, dripping in its own slightly salty juices. It was large and came with a bit of cress and chips. The cheese board was nice as well, giving you Brie, Wensleydale, several hard cheeses as well as a pot of chutney and grapes. For the area and the quality of food it was reasonable priced and good for our group of 8. Our waitress met our inebriation with a large spot of jest and good humor. But not without sarcasm. The food came out quickly and we were given lollipops out our way out. When in the area, I would definitely return.
