I'm very proud that Liverpool is Capital of Culture and very fond of the city. It's where I went to college and it has so many wonderful buildings. It's really exciting to visit nowadays as there is so much going on and you never know what you'll find round the next corner.

Work was crazily busy again today. The weather is just gorgeous though so I made sure i got out for my lunchtime walk. Work again tomorrow, though, just my luck to be working during this Indian Summer!

The news from the financial sector gets worse and worse. It's a worrying time for sure...

Despite three of us having heavy colds, we went over to Liverpool today to see an exhibition by the microsculpter Willard Wigan. The exhibition was in a gallery attached to the Hard Days Night hotel in North John Street, a hotel with a Beatles theme! Outside the hotel are large photos of the four Beatles and I took this pic of Paul for Quiet Rage cos Paul is her favourite!! QR, if you and yours return to Liverpool we promise to book you in for a night at this hotel as I'm sure you'd LOVE it!


The exhibition was amazing. Please click on the link to find out more about Willard Wigan. I saw him on TV and he is a piece of art himself...I'd LOVE to photograph him! His work is just astonishing. During his TV interview he mentioned that he once accidentally INHALED a sculpture he'd worked on for days! Imagine how horrible that would be!

The weather has been perfect these past couple of days - I wish I'd not been feeling grotty as I'm sure I'd have appreciated it more without the bunged up nose and constant sneezes.

We have made the big decision to book our holiday to New York City next year. Lucky we did, as already flights are scarce for the time we want to travel. We'll be there from 2rd May for four nights. I'm so excited and can't wait to show the girls all my favourite places.

More from our trip to Liverpool...

My dad use to be a captain in the Brocklebank Line. The ships he sailed in were bigger than this little boat though!
This is part of the Echo Arena down at the Waterfront. This wasn't even built last time I was there!

The building work for "Capital of Culture" is nearly finished yet! I liked how the red cranes stood out against the dark clouds here.

The famous Liver Building. That's a Liver Bird perched on the top!

Happy Easter everyone!I was at a wedding shoot all day yesterday and got back to late to post this in time for Easter Sunday!
