We are in Liverpool. Our very nice hotel is on the waterfront next to the Liver Building.<\/p>\n
Last night, as we walked around the docks, desperately trying to digest a most excellent dinner, we couldn’t help wonder precisely what<\/em> the Liver Birds on top of the Liver Building are intended to be, so we researched them, when we got back to the hotel.<\/p>\n Eagles – in 1207AD – but after a bit of mucking about and jiggery-pokery in the 17th Century, they became transformed in to Cormorants.<\/p>\n Well, when I say ‘they’ I don’t mean the two on top of the Liver Building, because they haven’t been there that long, natch. No, I mean the birds that were on the original Seal of Liverpool. In 1207AD.<\/p>\n So there you are, a momentary deviation where this blog swerves once again from the shallow end of the pool of life, to a place of a little more depth and substance.<\/p>\n Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Have I mentioned that we’re going to Spain on Wednesday? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are in Liverpool.
