The Finest Neo-Classical Buildings in the World that just happens to be in the finest City in the World - Liverpool
Also at the base of this montage is Antony Gormleys "Another Place" situated on Crosby beach - to the North of the City. Not to be missedMy kids - Sam & Sophie are the world to me - but then do you expect anything else?. The time I spend with them is of paramount importance. Other interests - ALL Sports particularly Golf, Swimming, Walking. Participation in Tennis and Football curtailed injury & the onset of old age. Have bought and exercise machine to get fit through the winter - Honest !!! Gardening - Know the difference between a flower and weed ! Hey the sunflowers were good this year. Music , am back into live music again after years of neglect. History fascinates me . There is so much around us both locally & nationally.
I'd like to meet:
Apart from the person with the £20m lottery cheque made payable to me......ha haAt the moment, I have no immense desires to meet anyone in particular.What fascinates is to have a dinner party for a group of an eclectic mix of 6 profound people in history who have had a world changing effect in their respective fields and would contribute to a tremendous, and never to be forgotten evening.
Struggling to 100% finalise but I would include for consideration: Winston Churchill, Alistair Cooke, John & William Harrison, Boudica, Marilyn Monroe, Groucho Marx, Fred Dibnah, Peter Ustinov, David AttenboroughAny further suggestions folks ?
