The sun shines on the Righteous

They say the sun shines on the righteous ...
well the sun surely was shining down here on the marine lake.

My home town of West Kirby has a beach, marina and Hilbre Island just off shore.
The Wirral Country Park trail follows the old railway line down to Parkgate.
Please check out the travelogues for more info on these places.

West Kirby and Hoylake will also played host to the internationally acclaimed Briish Golf Open in July 2006 - indeed preparations have been going on for months and even over the last 2 years for this nvasion of stars, media and the crowds who wish to witness this sporting event at the Royal Liverpool Golf Course.

Been years since I was on the beach in West Kirby but I was on the beach in Talacre on Thursday and I could clearly see your neck of the woods. I guess that was the one and only sunny day we'll have this year.

Hi Sandy, your travel pages make for great reading. I'm from Hoylake originally. After looking at your Hilbre page I realised that I haven't been over there for 20 years so I'm going to make it one of my priorities when I'm home this summer. cheers :o)
