In My Liverpool Home Part 2

I have briefly dealt with some of the reasons I love Liverpool - here are a few more. 

First of all there are the fabulous museums, including the new Museum of Liverpool which opened in 2011. The building, designed by a Danish company really adds to the waterfront. There are fabulous galleries and displays but my favourite is the Wondrous Place which celebrates Liverpool's musicians and sporting heroes. On the second floor there are huge windows which give tremendous views up and down the river where you can sit listening to 'Ferry 'Cross the Mersey'.

My father's father came from Everton - and he was proud of where he came from. Apparently when elder daughter went to university in Liverpool, I insisted that she supported Everton - and she still does!

Hurrah for the 'toffees'

Family history is another of my passions and I am intensely proud of my Scouse/Irish roots though sadly all of the places they lived are now gone. One of my greatest regrets is that I cannot remember how he spoke. He spent a lot of time in Manchester and then London so perhaps he did not have a Scouse accent. 

So Liverpool is where I feel really comfortable thank to the spirit of the locals. My husband recently fell over in the street and was immediately surrounded by people trying to help - perhaps not what would have happened at home!

Daughter and I were in a local pub near Anfield when the Liverpool match ended and floods of supporters arrived including some Scandinavians who apparently once bought the pub drinks as it was so cheap! Every one talked to one another happily. Typical of what I have always found here - perhaps embodied in the following, unforgettable,

You'll Never Walk Alone
