Just in the centre having a bite to eat. The kids (our two nephews) are very excited about staying in a hotel for the weekend. It's just a premier Inn but they've never been to a hotel before.
We are taking them to Knowsley Safari park tomorrow. They have no idea about that. They just know we are taking them somewhere cool.
Was a lot of traffic on the way as a lorry had over turned just off the M60 I believe.
Plus the rain was horrid. It seems to have calmed a little and the sun is trying it's best to make an appearance. .
Wish us luck lol

We went to see the 'Dream' statue before coming to the hotel. It's a very impressive piece. Although some little scroats have defaced it with graffiti. . They need castrating!!!! :x
It was a hell of a walk for me and a quite steep hill imvolved but I used my brolly as a stick and did it very slowly. The rain was falling but had slowed down. The kids thought it was incredible.
At the hotel now. Resting.

Hope you have a good weekend and that your nephews enjoy it too. Hope the weather improves and you don't end up overdoing things too much.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Shame about the weather but I'm sure the boys loved it, and thought it was better than watching paint dry. Hope the after effects for you aren't too bad.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.
