139 Saturday 3 September 2022 Liverpool Planetarium

 We  seem  to  have  mislaid  most  of  the photos  from  this  trip  but  never  mind.

One  part  of  the  World  Museum  in  Liverpool we  hadn't  yet  explored  was  the  Planetarium. The  shows  didn't  start  until  mid-day so  we  set  off  mid-morning. When  we  got  to  the  museum, there  wasn't  a  suitable  and  available  showing  untl  4pm  so  we  bought  tickets  then  went  for  lunch  at  Witherspoon's.

After  that  we  made  for  the  Anglican  cathedral. We  called  in  again  at  the  Catholic  cathedral  first.







We  moved  on  to  the Anglican  cathedral. We  had  a   look  round the interior  then  paid  for  the  lift  and  stairs  to  the  top  of  the  tower.

I  took  loads  of  photos  but  they  don't  seem  to  be  on  the  camera. This  was  a  picture  Simon  took  of  the  view  back  to  the  Catholic  cathedral.


We  went  for  a  drink  and  cake  in  the  cafe  there. I  didn't  feel  so  well  after  that  and  had  to  sit  on  a  bench  near  the  Adelphi  hotel  for  a  while. Simon  suggested  we  could  go  straight  home  now  but  I  thought  sitting  in  a  dark  room  sounded  quite  appealing  so  we  went  back  to  the  museum.

The  show  was  pretty  good  but  quite  brief. We  then  headed  for  the  station. We  had  a  drink  in  Waterstone's  while  waiting  for  our  train.

201 Sunday 14th January 2024 Rochdale Canal towpath : Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge

Image
 Having  got  the  bit  between  his  teeth, Simon  wanted to finish  the  towpath  with  the  final  section  into  Sowerby  Bridge.. This  was  a  direct  repeat  of  a  trip  from  the  classic  era  in  January 1980.  We  drove  to  Hebden Bridge, stopping  at  Nutty's  Butty's  along  the  way. We  parked  at  Hebden  Bridge  station. We  picked  up  where  we  left  off , spotting  a  Beatles  fan  moored  up  there. Where  you  have  to  cross  the  main  road  to  rejoin  the  towpath  between Hebden  Bridge  and  Mytholmroyd , there's  now  a  droll  sign. There's  now  some  fancy  ca...

242 Sunday 10th November 2024 National Football Museum

Image
 Simon  wanted  to  bring  Josh  along  for  his  trip. The  weather looked  a  bit  iffy  so  I  suggested  we  visit  the  Urbis  National Football Museum  in  Manchester. We  took  a  rail replacement  bus  into  Bolton and  picked  up  a  train  to  Manchester  there. We went  to Subway for  some  lunch  first We then  went  to  the  museum. One  of  the  first  exhibits we  noted  was  George  Best's  mini. We  all  posed  around  the  Premiership  Trophy. This  exhibit  caught  our  attention. I'm not sure  why  this  old  England  shirt  caught  their  attention. Simon  and  Josh  had  a  go  at  ...

244 Sunday November 24th 2024 Stockport Record Fair

Image
 There wasn't much doubt Simon would choose this option when I put it on the "menu" . We caught the train  to  Stockport , making the last  leg of the  journey on a Pendolino train. We  had  lunch at a Wetherspoon's before making our way  to the  record  fair  in  the  Guildhall. It  looked like a  failed mission but Simon found  something at the last minute. We  called in at  the  War  Memorial Art Gallery  which  was  on  the  way  back to  the  station. The  exhibit was  a  sries  of  townscapes  such  as  this  one  of  the  viaduct. The  war  memorial itself  takes  centre  stage  in  the  building. Simon liked this  one. Pity she  was a Stockport fan. This  was  the  view  to  the  town hall from the steps...
