| HOMEPAGE |
| A personal website designed to help both the visitor to Liverpool, and those residents who want further information about this wonderful city. This is a companion to my wife's site about Nice in the south of France - allaboutnice.com. |
| The history of Liverpool from prehistoric times is covered and details of transport to, from and around is aided by links to many sites. I hope to add many photographs of the spectacular and the mundane. The city is progressing at breakneck speed after forty years of decline after the second world war. |

| I am a General Practitioner who has lived and worked in Liverpool for 33 years. Apart from my daytime work I have driven round the city at night visiting patients of every type and have come to love the fierce, fearless, obstinate,at times irritating but above all friendly and sensitive people who live here. Beware those who make insensitive remarks as Boris Johnson and the Sun Newspaper have famously discovered. Liverpool people are passionate and this is shown in the support for the two football teams. If the grounds were big enough there would be joint gates of 100,000, not bad for a city of 450,000 souls. I also have an allotment with its own website- allaboutallotments |

| The sights, including much of the dramatic architecture and restaurants in which to break your journey around this fascinating city, are listed. The polyglot community has led to a mouth-watering variety of restaurants, in my opinion Liverpool can hold its own with almost any other city when it comes to eating out. |
| Sports, including details of grounds and many cultural events and of course shopping, will soon be listed. Web sites grow in a circle and each layer requires more work than the last. Please be patient! |

| I have had this photo transferred to a canvas on a wooden frame and it is magnificent with vibrant colours.Four birds are evident, two Liver birds, a seagull and a cormorant that has just dived under the water! I can supply a 16x24 inch complete picture for £50. |
