Starting with our recent holiday:
- 2 weeks off work, only occasionally remembering what's been left behind
- a long weekend with family in Scotland:
- lots of catching up, and trying to help the older generations fix broken equipment, buy a toaster and TV and set up the new toys
- 3 days at home: catching up with our godchildren and their parents, and lunch with in-laws
- 2 days in Gloucester with a precious friend:
- lovely new flat (& the knitted throw I made as a Christmas/birthday/housewarming gift was a perfect match!)
- never-ending rummikub
- welcoming church, with warm conversation and a delicious lunch
- 4 days in Liverpool:
- walked for miles (& miles!), visited both Cathedrals, explored under the Mersey Tunnel (as you do...),
- explored Port Sunlight and enjoyed the Lady Lever Gallery (with the most informative item descriptions I've seen for a long time); we met a particularly helpful man in the URC who explained the history of the town
- wandered around the Albert Dock & Maritime Museum,
- experienced OrangeWednesday for the first time (One Day was good and the pizza was delicious),
- I chickened out of going to the top of the Anglican Cathedral tower at twilight, A didn't and saw fantastic views,
- ate lots of good food & sampled blueberry ale,
- went to the Magritte exhibition at Tate Liverpool,
- and shopped...
returned home yesterday, and found our Sky+ box has broken down. The peace and quiet is unusual but could be a good habit to learn...
