Warners- Alvaston Hall with Netty & Candy

 Warners- Alvaston Hall

We headed out for a fun day in the wonderful city of Liverpool. First, we had a drink by the Albert Docks admiring its many impressive boats and dockyard with of course, a little bit of souvenir shopping. We had some pictures take with the famous foursome, the Beatles statue. 

We took photos under the rainbow coloured Liverpool Mountain, a 10- meter high sculpture consisting of coloured rocks, stacked vertically which seemed to defy gravity. Then it was straight to the Liverpool Museum where we learnt so much about Liverpool and its history. Everyone was excited to be taking the famous ferry across the Mersey. The Mersey is described as 'the gateway to the British Empire and the door to the world' for its port’s importance. The docks have the largest brick built building in the world the Royal Liver Building which is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city. 

A lovely day was spent exploring the Roman city of Chester. We parked by the River Dee and walked along the river to find our cruiser for the morning. The sun was shining as we pootled along the water, taking in the beautiful sights of the boats, river and scenery that surrounded us. We also managed to fit in  an open top sightseeing bus tour. We learnt so much about this famous Roman city, from the racecourse called the Roode, which was built in 1540 and is the oldest racecourse in Britain; we were also told how Chester is the oldest city in the country, too. 

We couldn't resist a tasty ice cream treat.

Every night, we were the first ones on the dance floor, showing off to our groovy moves to the resident band Blackjacks. Lauren Faye Moss then took us to a magical place as she performed a variety of songs. Her voice was sensational, and she sung with such ease. We partied on late into the evening with smiles on our faces. 

We explored the tiny streets of Nantwich and spent some our our holiday pennies in the quaint old shops. We also visited the stunning Nantwich church, St Marys built in the 12^th century which displayed stunning stain glass windows. 

Down at the Archery area we all took it in turns to show off our  skills, giving Robin Hood a run for his money. 

Feeling competitive we then decided to try our hand at riffle shooting. 

A fascinating morning was spent at the Nantwich Museum. Set in the former public library, dating from 1988, it is full of local history. We explored the Roman salt making, the Great Fire in Nantwich in Tudor times and the Battle of Nantwich during the English Civil War. It was jammed packed with displays and artefacts.
