Liverpool

It's the shadow on the floor that I most like here, although the significant difference between the received image and the reflection interest me too — enhanced by the knowledge that there's yet a third perspective from outside of the window.

Note the inset enlargement of the message on this beast. They *know* you're gonna.

In her fitting seat / throne? That'll be Graham on the right. He would later play a further rôle in the evening... ;) Oh, and please appreciate the first outing for this sparkly dress!

Amanda rocks out.

An Alvis TD21 (I believe), in gorgeous condition, just minding its own business outside a restaurant on Liverpool's Hope Street — oddly, but appropriately-ish here, named "The London Carriage Works". I've always fancied an Alvis and this one reinforces that, though I'd have to have a soft-top! I'll take the opportunity to provide a cautionary tale: I've stayed at the hotel associated with this restaurant, the Hope Street Hotel. It carried a good reputation, which I understand is due to the restaurant. I didn't eat there, but I can certainly say I wouldn't stay in the hotel again. Hugely over-priced, not especially nice, and that's after I had the hassle of getting a room - they'd lost my booking even though I'd confirmed it. Even when they did give me a room, they tried to "downgrade" me without offering a discount on the price I'd agreed for the better room. You never get this nonsense with Travelodge! ;)

Sefton Park, Liverpool. The park is currently in the midst of a major renovation project, and the main lake is being de-silted. The most obvious result so far is a large number of very bewildered-looking ducks wandering around the neighbourhood!
