Liverpool's modern skyline

Another view of Liverpool from across the Mersey .. more modern this time.

Not far from the Pier Head.

View across the Mersey

View from the promenade across the Mersey.

The famous Liver Building in the centre .

Pirate Boat

This boat was attracting a lot of attention when we were walking by - lots of clicking cameras.

It would appear to be made from driftwood and rubbish washed up on the river  Mersey.

Wallasey Town Hall

Wallasey Town Hall - what an imposing building ..

The Ferry

Just the right place to stop for a pint of Guinness on a hot day …

Birkenhead

A view of Birkenhead from the Royal Iris

Seacombe Ferry

A floating jetty or pontoon at Seacombe Ferry - board the Royal Iris for your trip over the Mersey

Royal Iris

A few days away to Liverpool and a considerable number of photographs taken.Many of which I hope to publish over the next few weeks. 

What better way to cross the River Mersey than by the Royal Iris.

The garden again

More snaps from the garden …

Rain Rain Rain

We've had some rain over the last few days but here are some reminders of sunny weather.

Taken last week - tulips happy in the sunshine.

Spring

Spring is still with us and the garden is alive with colour -

Manchester United progress ...

Last night Manchester United progressed  to the last eight of the European Football Champions League.

Three goals from Robin van Persie saw them beat Olympiakos of Greece 3-0 and go through to the next stage of the competition.

Much to the relief of their many fans….

The Miners

The miners of Ashton - long gone .. 

River Tame

River Tame at Ashton as it flows past the the Portland Basin

Portland Basin Museum

More pics from the museum - a butter churn, something ?? and a printing press.

No prizes for guessing the something - I've no idea..
