New Journey

A few weeks ago we began our next adventure------to walk the full length of the Leeds/Liverpool canal.  With our Canadian trip well over, we set off for the Albert Dock in Liverpool, the new start (or end, if you're going the other way!) of the canal.
Here we are at the impressively renovated Albert Dock, ready and raring to go.
Naturally, we had to have a cuppa first at the Tate Cafe (very expensive).
Thermos flasks in future!!

A couple of statues seen around the dock area depicting Liverpool's history.
Above is Allan's favourite, Billy Fury. Not only the Beatles came out of Liverpool!

Below, I am seated with a family who we think are about to emigrate to America. Sadly, no notice with this statue, so it's pure guesswork.
