Wet Wirral, last Weekend

In Wirral for the weekend, wet and windy (and some snow and sleet). This is the view looking south from West Kirby, on Deeside. The tiny Gormley-esque figures in the distance are people walking (and often also walking their dogs!) along an almost-hidden causeway. In the distance, on the other side of the Dee estuary, is North Wales. Notice how sunny it always appears from a distance?

And then on to marvellous Port Sunlight and the Lady Lever art gallery. Although I lived - many years ago - on the Wirral for a couple of years, I had never been inside. It has to be a serious candidate for a Tardis in Hiding award. It is much, much bigger on the inside than the outside.

We had a very pleasant (if speedy) wander around - spotting famous paintings, and so forth.
Opposite is the Museum of Port Sunlight- which we din't really have time for, although I loved the village itself, just looking at the houses and parks...

And then back to London in the horrible sleety, snowy weather.
