New Year in Liverpool

Happy New Year!!!   I just got back from Liverpool last night after a couple of nights away. I stayed with one of my bezzie mates Elaine and we met up with Pete, John and Pete's dad and new family.  They are such a lovely bunch of people.  

We met up in The White Bar, at The Radisson and then got a taxi to Tai Pan.  The food was really excellent. I wasn't sure about the decor or the size of the place at first......it reminded me of being of a big cruise liner!  One the plus side, there were quite alot of chinese people eating in there and what they were eating looked very good......whole plate of sea bass on one table and  lobster on another. We had a banquet and there was soo much food, I nearly popped!  Time flew.....and I do not know where to!

For the chimes, we  had to race back to Pete and Johns new apartment and we all let the New Year in on the balcony, over-looking the Mersey. With a glass of  bubbly in hand, We watched all the fireworks from over the water and listened to the boats sounding their horns.  It was great. :-)

Had a bit of a teary moment when Elaine and Pete had a big cuddle to Abba's - The way Old Friends Do......Boy, I won't be able to listen to that again without a big lump in my throat!

We bobbed into Liverpool for a bite to eat and a little wander around yesterday, before I went home.  The Lamb Bananas have been replaced by Penguins!   Over a hundred of them are all over the city.  I love em!
