When I visit a new place I always think to myself could I imagine living here? When I visited Liverpool recently the answer was a big fat ‘yes’!
It has the metropolitan vibe that I am realising is much more me than remote country-side is (although I am happy to visit there, of course). I love being near people, even if I’m not directly interacting with them and Liverpudlians are REALLY friendly too – my reserved southern sensibilities were well and truly shaken by all the smiles, waves and chattering. (Plus, I’ll never get tired of hearing a Liverpool accent).
The architecture is a mix of the Victorian grandiose and the modern and new and it all works together beautifully – plenty to photograph.
And of course there’s the little matter of THE BEATLES to contend with whilst you’re there. You may have heard of them…
BEATLES, BEATLES, BEATLES! I bet it gets a bit unbearable if you’re have to live with it on a day-to-day basis – or maybe you get Beatle-blindness? As a ‘day tripper’ though (ha ha ha) I was rather taken with it all. We were way too mean to pay the admission to the actual Beatles museum, so we made do with a Beatles-themed Starbucks and the Beatles section of the (totally fab and groovy) Liverpool Museum.
So yes, a big thumbs up from me – Liverpool rocks!

ahhhhhh so beautiful! Reminds me of my trip last year! It’s strange I also pictured myself living there, nice!
you make me want to go there…
Yup, giving me the travel bug too. Also making me want to be living back in the UK with so many wonderful places just a few hours away… There are some advantages to being on such a small island!

Welcome, Sarah, and thanks for your kind words! Can’t wait to check out your website :)
I really loved Liverpool when we were there, it is an odd mix of architecture but I enjoyed it too and I loved the Beatles things as well :)
Me too – a great vibe there – and all the building seem massive!
