Yesterday met up with my new friend Caroline and went off in search of the minibus to go to see the National Trust sites of John Lennon and Paul McCartney's homes. After waiting for 2 hours found out that all the tours are booked until the end of August - so much for that plan.
Fortunately I knw approx where John's house was - or thought I did and exactly where Paul's was so off we went.
John proved to be his elusive self and after hours of searching, several mis-directions from helpful scousers we found it right in Woolton, nowhere near Allerton. Brief stop in the pub where I was very self-controlled and only had a 1/2 pint of lovely ale.
Bus out to Forthlin Rd and qucik visit to the shrine of the Mcartneys - photos and then said my farewells to C who is off back home to Guatemala on Aug 1st. Hope we stay in touch.
Oh yes did I mention that I BOOKED MY TRIP TO ST PETERSBURG - yes Aug 12 to 20th and even booked the hostel right off Nevsky Prospect in the centre of the town. Now I just need to get the visa organized...its crazy but ah well if its meant to be its meant to be.
Got back to D and Rs exhausted but Dot served me dinner on a tray - what a swell place to be - thanks to great cousins - watched the new Midsommer Murder barely staying awake and now its a new day.
