LIVERPOOL - a walk down memory lane

MY FATHERS DAY GIFT FROM TANIA HAS ARRIVED.

We are off to Liverpool to go on the BEATLES TOUR on 27-28 JULY 2008

Now I have been and seen Liverpool - The Home of the BEATLES something I have wanted to do since I was 16 years old...........................................

We arrive around lunch time Saturday, after leaving home at 7am. The start of A MAGICAL TOUR. this video is the arrival and walk-about the new Waterfront at the docks- amazing CITY OF LIVERPOOL at 2:30 we get on the tour bus and the fun starts.

The tour on the BUS, and We walk down Penny lane, visit all the houses of the birth places of John, Paul, George & Ringo. We wander around Strawberry Fields, spend a Penny on the corner of Penny Lane. Back in The center of Liverpool, off we go to the original club and pub in Mathew Street. We walk around gasping at the 1960's, have a pint in the pub, and look at all the places where the Beatles have been, and seen it it all we have -Together, Now it goes back to where it belongs "Yesterday". Off we go to supper at the Docks Water Front and then get ready for the drive through to "ANFIELD" the football home of LIVERPOOL.

Yip this place just echoes out with YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE and then the sun sets on a wonderfull week-end, built of so many dreams and memories.

7 WEEKS OLD 20/7/2008 - Its ME AGAIN

Yip can you believe it, little Liam 7 weeks old already, I am sure and have told Leon & Elizma, where do they go - To trade him in for a bigger one every day. The answer I get is " Love and mothers milk" Here is a peak as to how he has grown from day 1 to day 49, special day because Oupa Billy was born in '49. so that makes us birthday pals. Sounds good to me anyway- Think what you like. Ouma Ria just can not stop looking at the Video on Leon & Elizma's Blog (click here) of him smiling from ear to ear.

LIAM - 7 weeks old TODAY- 20th JULY 2008

A CASE FOR "SHIRLOCK HOLMES"

Ria and I popped over to Tania's place in Reading about 40minutes away, she wanted Dad to build her some picture frames for the posters that she had just bought. On arrival, we did some measuring and went around to the local hard-ware shop " HOME BASE" an d bought the required Wood, glue screws and a mitre box. Back at her place it was cutting and fitting and then assembling. when all was "done and dusted" we then opened the beer and settled ourselves into a lovely summer afternoons braai. Tania made the most fabulous salad that Ihave ever had at a braai, this is a trade secret so don't even ask for the recipe.

A practice run - Have'nt lost my touch in 34 years

Well, the last time I did this was with Tania 29years ago and with Leon 34years ago, This was a dry run under the watchful eyes of Leon & Elizma. The big question is, Has the "OUTOPPIE" lost his touch???? The proof of the pudding is in the bottle and the look on his face,,,,,,,,,, If I must say so myself I passed the test "cum-laude"...... Now I have my licence to BABY SIT. Wow, can't wait for the night that MOM & DAD want to go out to paint the town red. Then its ME - RIA and the little fella. Maybe I should buy them tickets for GONE WITH THE WIND, that was a very long movie, then treat them to a supper somewhere.........................................

CATCH YOU LATER, HE HAS JUST WOKEN UP AND TIME FOR HIS NEXT BOTTLE
