Liverpool trip
Wandering around Southport, a few things caught my eye and made me smile. For one thing, despite it being a seaside town, I couldn't see the sea! Strong currents didn't seem to be a current issue.
The Lancashire coast is gradually silting up and the wide expanses of shallow sand mean that the tide goes in and out over a huge distance. So beware, as when it does come in (you can see the high tide mark in my photo) it comes in fast and unpredictably, and yes, there are strong cross-currents that have caught many people out and even caused fatalities.
I chose not to sample the delights of the lawnmower museum! (Though it is, I'm sure, a cutting edge attraction).
The butt of jokes, perhaps...
When I did my UK tour, we stopped for 2 days in Liverpool and I loved the city ! Of course we also went where the Beatles started singing, but it was so loud in there that I quickly took some pictures and waited outside for the others !
ReplyDeleteThose whippets must be quite a handful to keep control of!
ReplyDeleteJust take a careful look at that hard-worker entertaining against all odds. Maybe he is a new Eric Morecombe or Tony Hancock in the making? The stars are calling......I wish him well!
