Liverpool - my home city

by allaboutnice - last update: May 19, 2005

The 19th Liverpool Women's 10k run 15th May 2005

Before and after the run - spot the medal
I ran the women's 10k in Liverpool for the first time. My time was 44 minutes, 29 secs and I came 67th overall and 7th within my age category. There were over 3,300 women running today so I'm very pleased with this result. The best bit was walking back to the car afterwards and passing hundreds of women still running, I was SO glad to have finished.

Off to the Albert Docks

It's mid-October and yet still another beautiful sunny day with blue skies.

In the Albert Docks today, all the outside tables and chairs were full of people enjoying the unseasonable but very welcome sunshine.

The Mersey River Festival June 2003

A gorgeous sunny day, the first of many this Summer in Liverpool and the Tall Ships look wonderful against the background of blue sky and water and fine architecture.

 I love tips about "overlooked gems". They always make the visits more interesting. Thank you.

 I've been to most of Britain but somehow never to Liverpool. The closest was looking across the water from the North Wales coast on a misty day.
