Our stay in Liverpool came to an end, but after picking up our granddaughter so that she could spend some time at home over the Easter holiday period, we drove a few miles up the coast to Crosby and took a walk on the beach.
The weather had changed and it was a lot colder and windier, but there were still some families sitting on the beach or taking a walk along the long stretch of sand.
It was reassuring to see the RNLI (the Royal National Lifeboat Institution) truck go by. I expect many visitors walk out towards the sea to look at the Antony Gormley sculptures that are dotted along the beach and further out that make up the installation The Other Place.
I was impressed by Antony Gormley's famous art work installation The Angel of the North and was equally pleased that we had the opportunity to see The Other Place installation and to get close up to some of the sculptures. You can see my visit to The Angel of the North in 2013 here.
Before we left the area we had lunch of fish and chips and a mug of tea or milk shake at a café in the town. We met some friendly people and had a chat with a lovely man who said that he's a member of a group of singers that entertain the elderly in the local care homes. He was quite a character. He reminded me of my late father who had a good tenor voice and used to do the same thing as well as participating in other musical concerts.
The fish and chips were delicious!
