Set off for the Outer Hebrides but stop off at Liverpool to catch up with someone I don’t see enough off.I find Liverpool a complex city. It’s currently undergoing massive regeneration as part of being the 2008 European City of Culture so much of the place is a building site. I spend some time on the waterfront and then visit the magnificent Catholic Cathedral.
It’s a city with some fantastic architecture and a potentially magnificent riverside, but so much of the city’s identity seems tied up with the Beatles or football. It must have been a truly bustling metropolis early in the 20th century, I guess it just needs some catalyst for it to return to its former glory.
Spent a great evening catching up at a fantastic bar/café called tabac - the sort of place you want in your own neighbourhood as your own local catch up spot.
