    Default Otterspool Aigburth South Liverpool

    Had a nice time at what has to be the best play area in Liverpool, the views of the river are excellent:

    Good looking boy.
    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    Is there still a 'promenade' there? We used to go to the 'prom' a lot as kids.

    of oil-slicked pelicans
    from the Gulf oil spill,

    the chat about culpability
    of corporate executives
    and playboy serial killers,

    I wish instead just to dream
    like Millais' "Bubbles" and wander
    the rhododendron path
    of a childhood park.
