  • Liver

    I can almost hear the non-UK readers thinking I have gone out of my mind, and uploaded the wrong image. Looks nothing like liver. Well, it is Liverpool again, and this is the Liver building as seen from the Albert Dock. Atop the Liver building is a statue of the Liver Bird, which you will also find on the badge of Liverpool FC. As you can tell from the buildings framing the Liver building the Albert Dock area has had a lot of investment and is a really nice part of Liverpool. Oh, and it is pronounced Lie-ver, as in to lie down. And no puns about ORGANic growth at the Albert Dock, that would just be silly.

  • Imagine

    Those sorts of dreams seem a world away, as I guess they are really. This is the actual white piano that John Lennon used when he wrote Imagine. It sits in the Beatles museum in Liverpool. I am not much of a city person, but found Liverpool to be OK, maybe because we were focused on what we wanted to see rather than just wandering through a concrete jungle. I may, or may not, find some other Liverpool images.
