Like so many others at this time of year, we had a busy weekend. A lovely weekend, but busy. We had a family lunch on Saturday, which went well apart from my tomato and mozzarella disaster tart. Everyone said it tasted fine but let's just say I didn't bother taking any pictures of it...
Sunday involved a trip into the city centre. I don't do that very often, working there means I don't very often need to go, and it sometimes feels a little bit like going to work, especially if a train journey is involved. Just too much like the daily commute. That's a big unfair in the rest of the family though. They enjoy a trip to town on the train, the bustle of the city, the shops, and at this time of year the lights and various Christmas stalls and activities.
So a trip to town was in order. Just the girls, EB and I. A rare chance to leave those pesky boys at home and shop and eat in peace.
What do you think of the tree in Liverpool?
Apparently it's the tallest tree in the UK. I confess I'm not overly keen, not in the daylight. As dusk falls though something happens....(ps I don't know those people in the picture they are random passers-by)...
...and by the time it's completely dark it is really quite magical...
The lights change colour slowly, we stood for ages captivated. We also need to plan another trip, so we can share his magic with the boys. Maybe even book one of these carol-oke huts to have a drink or two and a little sing.....
EB and I didn't buy a lot, secret Santa gifts, a couple of other bits and bobs. We enjoyed a a scrummy meal in Wagamama, chilli squid. I can still taste it now.
I've changed my lock screen on my phone to this picture of the incredible Lego sculpture in Liverpool One. Isn't that amazing?
The reindeer are my favourite part
Even the escalators in Liverpool seem to be in the festive spirit...or maybe they're always like this and I've never noticed before ;)
Love Tor x
ps sorry about the rubbish pics I couldn't be bothered taking my proper camera with me so these are all taken on my phone, and its just not the same is it?
