BANK HOLIDAY JAUNT1

I must admit i don't think much of bank holidays as I dont work it really just means more people about which to me can be considered abit of a pain.I got an E-mail from elaine letting me know about a variety of walks which were going on this week, although i have lived in BIRKENHEAD it is always amazing what you can find about your area !! so made arrangements with DOT and we were off although as per usual I had the wrong meeting place luckily DOT had her car and before could say "LOUBY LOU we were with the others.
The group seemed friendly and quickly geled together,and ROY who was taking us on our history tour was certainly not someone who fell asleep in history!!!!
A few members went onlooking at different things they could find to eat or scavenging which i must admit sounds like fun but maybe next time as cant be in two places at once.
I have always known that WILFRED OWEN the war poet live in Birkenhead for a short while but this was the first time i had ever seen his home ( SHAME on Me)

Ithink one of the most moving aspects OF Wilfred OWENS life was he was killed a week before armitice dayand apparently the telegrapgh telling of his deathcame to his MOther at a church service celebrating the end of the war!!!!!
