I think that must've gone Dianne. I certainly don't recall it.
There are two lovely Arcades......The Wayfarers and another one whose name I can't bring to mind right now - it will come to me when I stop thinking about it.
The Wayfarers is still full of shops, unlike our Victorian Arcade.......which has very little inside.(such a shame)
The next time I go to Southport I will take some pics sepcially for you so that you can get the feel of it.

That should read 'specially'.
(I am giving Jaysays Keyboard a run for him, to make sure it still has all the built in errors)

Royal Arcade Southport | Discover Southport

Thanks for that link AE! I used to visit Southport a lot for summer days out with my mum and later when a student in L'pool I'd somethimes go for a day trip on the train. I think the last time I remember going there was when my eldest was about 3 - he's 26 now! One to add to my list of places to re-visit!

Yes, that one is the smaller of the two, and right at the bottom of Lord St.

Well, here we go again. And if you guys are getting tired of looking at snow, snow, and more snow, just imagine how we feel

[Margaret Pilkington]

Eric, it looks lovely on pictures....?But there ends the appeal.....for me at least.
I don't get folks who go on ski trips. If I were forking out for a holiday I would want to be warm.
If I had a magic wand I would wave it and banish winter for you.....and bring you some spring flowers and sunshine.....alas, I have no magic wand!

No wand, eh. A pic of a steak and kidney pudding would do.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Oh, I don't make my own anymore Eric. For some reason( not sure what it is) himself prefers Holland's ( muck).

[Margaret Pilkington]

And the steak pudding season is coming to a close here(think it must be breeding season or something - not allowed to shoot them, catch them or trap 'em)

Surely there must be some left in the rhubarb plantations around Knotty Ash.

Arrghhh! My sympathies fellow sufferer. I managed to dodge that one, thankfully.

[Margaret Pilkington]

They are there alright.....you just can't be seen to be hunting them.....but it is alright, because if you get withdrawal symptoms you can get a chitty from your doctor and Iceland will let you buy some of the frozen variety.
