Alveston

Alveston is the kind of village that introduces itself by what it sits next to. Thornbury on one side, Bristol down the road, and Cribbs Causeway close enough that the retail park counts as going out. It once got itself twinned with a French town nobody in the parish could find on a map, which remains the most exciting thing to happen here on purpose. People move to Alveston because they want nothing to happen to them, and on that promise it delivers without fail.
