Liverpool City of Culture 2008

Lots have happened since we left home at 5 a.m on Thursday - Mrs B. was kind of shattered with the early rise, but we were off and running . Firstly to Glasgow where she met Fraser for the 1st time, face to face, having spoken to him on the phone previously. Even Bob Dunk called while I was there, kind of shattered also.
Off we headed down the M74 and M6, a very good run , non stop and we were in Runcorn at 10 40 a.m.. Ann met everyone down there, Jill on Reception; Liam and Lorrriane in DNA; , Cathy in Drugs; and of course, there is no show without punch , Christine in the Restaurant - who was a lost soul without her pal Sue who was off on holiday. Never the less we had a chat and a laugh before the place got busy and we headed off towards Liverpool.
Despite a slight detour !! we made it and eventually ended up on the waterfront, down by the Albert Dock complex which is a fantastic piece of regeneration work - after going round the block a couple of times we tried the Juries Inn - but I think they wanted me to buy the place so we headed off again adn I found another hotel more suited to my pocket and not depending on Corporate clients.
Quick change and off into this beautiful city.
