Today we drove across to Liverpool to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary.
We visited The Liverpool World Museum to see and hear 'The Beat Goes On', a celebration of 58 years of music in this city.

We also visited The Walker Art Gallery and explored the city centre which has a great deal of building work going on.

Wednesday 29th October
We walked up from our hotel next to Albert Dock to the Liverpool Metropolitan RC Cathedral.
It is a very impressive building and much bigger inside than we expected.
Not far away is the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
This had a very different feel to the Metropolitan Cathedral and is a much more traditional design, but was only completed 30 years ago. We took the lift up to a gallery to see some beautiful clerical embroidery.
We left Liverpool via the Birkenhead Tunnel to visit Port Sunlight. This purpose built village was much more extensive than we expected. At The Lady Lever Art Gallery here we saw this painting of Bubbles, of which Rachael now has a print that originally belonged to her great grandma.
