So this week was the start of my second month working in Liverpool City Centre, after working and living around Newcastle Upon Tyne for the last 35 years.
One of the things I always loved about Newcastle was the architecture of the city. From the bridges to the old Co Op building and the Vampire Rabbit (look it up) Newcastle is full of surprises.
When I was a kid and travelled into Newcastle I found I was always looking for the hidden little gems of the city; wondering down side streets and seeing what I could find. The greasy spoon cafe in the basement side street level of what is now Yates, down the side. They service the best tasting fry up in town with the worst hygiene ever. The £1 stuck to the pavement next the the Mayfair just so the staff in the Doc Martins Shoe shop could have a laugh every time someone tried to pick it up.
As I got older that changed and I switch to walking the most direct root to get the where I needed to be, I was no longer the explorer. I had become accustom to how the City felt, looked and sounded.
In my last few months in Newcastle I found myself looking up at the sights again.
Here is Liverpool I need to start Exploring.
