My trip to Liverpool last month was my first time in the city and I absolutely loved it! only problem was that my reason for being there at all was to attend a 3 day art workshop led by the wonderful Orly Averini. The down side to this great opportunity was that there wasn't a lot of time to explore the city. But these were my highlights
I loved the docks with their mix of ancient and modern, topped by the original Liverbirds
no time to take a 'ferry cross the Mersey' though'
or even paddle ourselves across
We did make it to the Tate though!
Liverpool provided lots of great opportunities for Street photography
I loved that there were pianos provided for the public to play
One of the best things apart from the great food in some fabulous restaurants was our visit to the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.
We hit it at just the right time in early evening with the sun streaming though the windows and turning everything jewel coloured - just fabulous!
All just fabulous we were so sorry to go and definitely mean to come back!
“Farewell to Princes’ landing stage River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California, a place I know right well
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee”
