John, I hope I can call you, John,(after reading through I feel I know you well enough to be all familiar). A worthy webpage indeed to trip over on a dismal Hamburg Sunday, enjoyed the visit and the flavour of a home left behind it afforded.

All right,lar?
As another "ex-pat" down south, I love reading stuff and seeing pics from "back home"!

I love your piece on New Brighton, a place close to my heart . . .

Blimey, that pool would be packed in the summer . . .
and the smell from the indoor fairground; the noise; the girls hanging round the boys . . . the first kiss under the pier . . .

As a scouser living down south you have reminded me so strongly of what I miss the most about Merseyside, I can smell and almost taste it in your descriptions.
I grew up helping my Dad Fred Battersby deliver hardware round Liverpool and The Wirral, without fail the shopkeepers were always kind to a small girl and my school holidays were full of happy memories of being spoiled by them.
Later as a slightly wild teenager I haunted the Witches' Cauldron Club in New Brighton, listening to a group called The Vampires. Their lead singer was a bus conductor called Dave, who wore a bright red suit which was very outlandish for that time, and once when helping them at a church hall gig I was called upon to actually sew him into the tight trousers after they split!
When the club finished I used to run in my stockings down hill to catch the last bus home to Moreton, I ruined many a pair as running in stillettos wasn't a good idea and my Dad was always waiting to meet that last bus.
We thought we were very hip but looking back the club only sold coke!
I don't think until you move away you realise what a strong pull your home area has for you, I can be moved to tears nowadays seeing local pictures, and boy was I proud of the City of Culture tag, and that monster spider, well, all I can say is Wow!
Keep the stories coming, and the poems, I think perhaps the poems are my favourite, so well written and so evocative.
