Thank you Ron, very much. Glad you enjoyed the walk and especially glad you enjoyed the “All This Time” memoir. Trust you’re both having a peacefully festive time in Ireland.
Thank you Ronnie for bringing the lightness out, on these darkening days. I love these descriptions which make me want to escape my country life and head into the city. Isn’t it lovely just to notice what’s right under your nose! Great photos, especially the one on a late Sunday afternoon. Best wishes!
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful images of Liverpool—it has a unique air of nostalgic joy, facing the sea around without surrendering to the gloomy clouds. A brightness inside, almost walking across Albert docks :)
Another powerful walking meditation - the light along Hope street so beautiful Ronnie, & again you stand in a 'songline' place for me ( Holy Trinity - resting place for close family member long years gone). Thanks for this, Liverpool is a city like no other, hard to define though you coming close.
Thank you Deborah, and I’m biased of course, but I do find much about here that’s achingly beautiful. The architecture, well much of it, the huge amounts of parkland, the sheltered version of an Atlantic climate, the great wide river and its estuary light. And then the people too, who I’m also biased about. Every one of us a conglomerate mixture of everyone who’s ever arrived here along that great wide river.
I remember. I had an early album as well, called “Boy For You.” Which contained not one mention of seals or Shetland. But was great in a late nineties kind of way.
Thank you for the recommendation of Shetland Suite - very beautiful music and her voice is gorgeous. The Mystery is so different from the other Liverpool parks - I go walking there for that "big sky" feeling - something about how small the houses along the road look from the park path.
And I especially love it now when all the trees around its railway end are bare. So you can stand on the path in Holy Trinity churchyard and see the whole city, including both cathedrals, spread out round the far end.
Thanks Ronnie for your lovely descriptive and atmospheric piece on your walk around the city.
Thanks also for the lovely piece of work, words, music and photos that you gifted recently. Thoroughly enjoyed. Compliments of the season to you.

Thank you Ann, good to hear from you.
A walk i know and love and so well too! Beautifully captured. Stirring my heart. Thanks to @sarahmoorcroft for sharing this :-)
Thank you Helen, Sarah too.

Wouldn't it be lovely!
Let’s think about it then.

Thank you Jo, very kindly said. I love Holy Trinity, as well as the view from its steps.
Now I'm retired I plan to visit more cities and towns in England, Liverpool is on my list.
Wisely.
I have never visited Liverpool, but it looks very beautiful bathed in wintry light, and it is the quality of light that I love at this time of year.

I really will have to visit!
Be good to see you when you do.
Loved that. And I love Astrid's work. She was almost a pop star many years ago, her Day of the Lone Wolf album is a personal fave.
