All these pictures were taken this morning - this is Queen Victoria feeling the chill!

More on this statue

So here’s another in a series of articles I am planning to share with you in reference to the 2008 European Capital of Culture, the city of Liverpool here in the United Kingdom

The plan is, I’m going to research places of interest around the city, then get out and about and visit these places, take some photographs, and then post an article about each place

I’m hoping this will be a useful travel guide for visitors to the city, without giving too much away because I don’t want to spoil any surprises for you!

Liverpool residents awoke to this unusual sight today – overnight the city has been covered in a blanket of snow

So I wrapped myself up and ventured off round Gateacre Village to bring you these snaps of Gateacre Village in the snow

I hope to write articles on each of these locations, so watch this space!
