Liverpool here we are
Yesterday set off from Norwich at 6.45am, arrived Liverpool 3.45 after a very slow and scenic drive through Warrington due to a road closure. On route we stopped at Bakewell, where one of our party of two partook of a Bakewell pudding ( with custard) which I was informed was lovely. With the help of Sylvia the SatNav we had a very interesting drive through the Edge Hill and Kensington areas of Liverpool which presented us with the Liverpool innovation centre which looked across at a boarded up but rather lovely looking Littlewoods building which was a monolithic vision in White. We made it to the docks travelodge and after quickly unpacking we headed off to The Royal Standard meet with Ailie Rutherford. After she made us a cuppa ( thanks Ailie) we grilled her about all things Liverpool including cycling, tunnels and sugar silos. It also gave us an opportunity to look at the exhibition space where we may deliver our UFO and Touring Territories event – hopefully in the near future. We headed off back alongside the river which was because of the beautiful weather very tranquil. We cut back upto the main road to make our way to Arena – an artist studio & gallery complex for an opening.Then back down parliament street to the hotel both feeling pretty tired.
