WHAT WILL TODAY BRING



Today is Election day so who knows who will be in charge this time tomorrow but I am also wondering what today will bring as we are going sightseeing hoping to add things of interest on the day.

Margaret volunteered to give myself and Dot a lift so no transport worries , I Do like public transport but it is alot less worrying when being picked up as don't have anything coming over the speaker like "Sorry Margarets lift been cancelled so thanks for that!!!!
so off we go refreshments with us we're off on the famous FERRYACROSS THE MERSEY people are often amazed from outside the area when they find YES the ferry does exist!!!!!
I took maybe two photos as the camera was not mine I think i have told yo u i am new and i mean new to this world of technology but the one thing i don't want to do is drop someones camera into the MERSEY with an almighty SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!
Jenn was embarking at the journey at the WORLD famous PIER HEAD and with us all aboard we were all embarking on the river cruise yet again most of us had come on the ferry at WOODSIDE and elaine kindly treated us to liquid refreshment (TEA)!!!!!!!
The ferry drive brought a rosy glow to our cheeks as we sailed although the weather was more like MARCH than MAY!!!!!!
Back on dry land and it was off to ROCk -PARK ap lace for some absurd reason has a hold on me maybe along lost relative lived here a shiver goes down my spine as I look at the houses of unusual shapes and sizes and imagine the gentry who used to live their and think what the place could have been like if the powers that be had not in their wisdom put an ugly BY-PASS through knocking beautiful houses full of life and stories down that can never be replaced!!!!
I really enjjoyed the day but the only souvenier I picked up was a streaming cold!!!!!

  1. Hi Louise, hope you've recovered from your cold! I like your description of Rock Park. I know what you mean about the spooky feeling of the place. There's something about the faded grandeur of the place, and the quietness...

    I'll bring the video of the curtains flapping in the window of the empty house and we can maybe look at getting it onto your blog if you like.

    See you tomorrow
    Elaine
