After attempting to get Mum to get rid of some clothes ( 4 items) I ventured off in search of stuffed animals and other items to take to Nepal. I wandered around Allerton Road which is trying to be sophisticated and only serves to over-charge for poor copies of great euro food.
I wandered over to Penny Lane and did some banking and headed over to Picton Road where I used to traumatise myself over not being able to swim in the old Victorian pool we were forced to take classes many moons ago in my school daze.
It's a run down area and looks unloved and seedy these days. The old cinema where I saw Gone with The Wind years ago still stands but seems to be selling furniture - what a shame to see these old theatres left to rot.
I then ventured down to Smithdown Road and decided I was in need of a drink so I ventured forth to a pub called the Willows where my dad used to have a Sunday pint with his brother Ed. In all these past years I have never been inside and I was delighted to find a lovely old pub with an ancient clock over the bar. The bar maid was young and cheerful and I ended up chatting to a mother and daughter sitting next to me while I devoured my delicious pint of scrumpy.
Finished off the day with a good walk around Asda (big supermarket) and picked up some food for dinner. Drove back to D and Rs around Sefton Park in lovely sunshine.
Turned out to be a pretty groovy day.
