With the chemical works of Runcorn and Widnes as my backdrop I left my charming boarding establishment (the rough pub) to try my luck at finding something to eat at Hale Village. You could have rough breakfast but you needed to have ordered it the day before - oh - and the everything else looked exceedingly unappealing and rather hard work. Of course Hale Village offered nothing whatsoever in the cafe department. It was a church and a post office and a bus stop where I duly caught a bus to Liverpool which gave me a head start on Mother Rita, my mother-in-law.
The very expensive hotel was rather disappointing. I changed our rooms for ones with a view as ordered and they did kindly give me free breakfast - maybe they sensed how starving I was. I met Mother Rita at 1pm and we museumed and sight saw. Liverpool is a great city with magnificent buildings. The Liver Birds, two cormorants perched on the top of the two towers on the Liver Building, are tied on to prevent them flying away. It's not too Beetles mad and we didn't have take a Furry across the Mersey. We took a train to Port Sunlight which has one of the best art galleries I have ever visited.
