Lyndhurst & Erlscote Serviced Apartments Liverpool

... busy but it does have some lovely old buildings and a bit of character.

Rhonda- After my initial fear of a new working environment I really feel settled and happy. I think the basics of Admin work is pretty much the same wherever you go and you just need to get a grip on the little quirks of each department or staff member. The two other ladies in the office are just wonderful and we feel we have been friends for a long time. Everyone is ...

Well, as I will no doubt be running round like a mad woman tomorrow I thought it best to start this today! My last full day at home for some time. I am packed and ready to go!!

I am very nervous and cant really think of anything beyond tonight at the ...

... a festive glow - it always makes me think that xmas is truly xmas when its dark and cold and there are chestnuts roasting, but I am looking forward to warmth, beaches and BBQ's for xmas. Had my obligatory cup of mulled german gluhwein - yum and my bratwurst, and wandered the numerous stalls with varied goods from complete tat to beautiful xmas decorations, wooden crafted toys and woollen hats and scarves. Didn't buy anything other than a ...

... was no mistaking it, this pub was the kind of place they had in mind when they coin trite cliché's like, "the real deal" or, "the genuine article". I'm really annoyed that we forgot to take the camera along, but then, it wasn't the sort of place you'd feel comfortable taking photos anyway. In fact, I can't even remember the name of the place, Anto will probably remember, or maybe Dougie will. Anyway, we duly went in to sample the Guinness and disappointingly, I have to admit that I ...

... to the museum. I bought some souvenirs then caught the bus back to the YHA still buzzing. We had a late lunch at the Blue Bar which was rather expensive but as a hang out spot popular with the football teams of Liverpool it was to be expected, had a look at the quay then headed once again back to the hostel. I am typing and looking at the imposing form of the Liverpool Cathedral out my window right this second. I love this city. PS: It's bloody freezing!!!

Right, so we go back to England from USA and i went back to Airbus for a few months till we leave for our round the world trip again and manage to sell the house. That is done so have also arranged to get a pay off for leaving Airbus so helps with the travel budget. Its been ...

... the center of St Helens to help Gill find the perfect outfit for the night. A quick trip to the hairdressers for a updo for Gill and then back home again to get ready for the party. The party was held in the one of the local rugby teams club and the place was packed with friends and family. Gill introduced me to 2 of her mates from St Helens, Hayley and Lindsey. They looked after me brilliantly while Gill had to do her meet ...

... The trip was based on the cultural awareness week had been going on at Chester University and as the International Slavery Museum resides inside the Maritime Museum, we doubled our sightseeing. As I remember correctly, the weather in Liverpool did nothing to change my opinion of this working-class dirty city I had always imagined. Firstly, it was rainy, cold and windy; and not just any windy, not Chicago-windy, nor New York City-windy but full ...

... the mystery tour someone decided it would be a nice idea to lift my ray ban's from right under my nose and run with them, so now i am short a pair of shades,.ahh boo hoo. at least i still got my money and my passport and i will get new shades when i get to Amsterdam. No big deal . I just got to my hostel this morning and i am going to see the Marytime musuem now, so off i go, and i will write more later!!! Ok so its about 7pm now, Liverpool time, and i have just arrived ...

John took me to Blackpool. He may have wanted to show me a UK beach resort. The street along the beach was full of decorations. I took a picture of his profile in the car. It was just a memory of Blackpool. We were on the way from Preston, where we met his old friend, and John talked about the word "love", because people there used "love" meaning "you" very often, when they talk to someone, like "Good morning, love!". That sounded awkward to him.
