Heya all..
Sooo how are we all? Sorry havent written much for a while.. but things are going well.. went to Liverpool a couple of weekends ago, and that was awesome, we caught the train there and done the Beatles Story.. which is like a museum tour about the Beatles and where they got their inspiration from for their music etc etc.. so it was really cool.. went down to the Mersey Docks, to see "the ferry cross the mersey" went to the markets, and had a nice buffet lunch.. Didnt spend too much time in Liverpool, cos we were knackered.. dont know how we managed to get that way, i think it was the early morning and then the walking all around, Liverpool is quite big, and im sure our tour guide Tina managed to take us the long way everywhere.. hahaha just kidding Tina, it was Rangi's fault..! haha.. nah but really it was a nice day..
We are looking forward to Europe in 2 weeks time.. woohooo! time is going by a lil too fast now.. Christmas is at the door.. the shops are already starting to full up with Christmas goodies.. its strange, but neat.. the weather is getting colder, Summer is definitly over, but it was a nice one to enjoy, so no complaints here.
Well better hurry up and post some photos before i run out of internet time.. love ya's.. ali

Me by a statue..

Okay.. so theres a lil story to this statue.. Apparently, this statue was made by a man who was asked to make this by another man.. it was to represent the Saints in the pioneer days, leaving the Docks in liverpool for America.. but the man who asked the artist to do it, was ermm.. fake.. or yeah, wasnt ligit.. soooo the staute just got put here, with no dedication for it, so theres no plaque or anything to show what it means.. but yeah.. We know! hehe..
We found this about 5 metres away...We found this about 5 metres away...

aaaaannndd then.. to complete the story of the statue, this plaque is found on a wall about 5 metres away, and it talks about the potato famine, and how the families left these docks to escape the famine.. hmmm funny that this was put soooo close to a un-marked statue representing people leaving the docks.. hehe... anyways..
