Well it's been an eventful few weeks since I last posted... lots of madness that we shall just have to gloss over, but last weekend, a community event overtook most things. For those that don't know, Liverpool has been awarded European Capital of Culture 2008. To that end, where I live in a small area called Garston, was one of the areas chosen to have it's own focal point. There has been a focus for a number of years on bringing art and all things cultural to Garston and we now have the Garston Cultural Embassy, designed by artist Michael Trainor.
The celebration on Saturday saw the arrival of the President and his weapon of mass attraction (don't be rude) to declare independence! There was a parade and local groups performing all led by a local pirate who with the help of some dodgy diamonds helped Garston in the 18th C!!!
So despite an attempted assasination attempt the new President was installed, promising no more parking fines or council tax for the citizens of Garston (thank you!) and told us of the large olive oil deposits that have been discovered underneath the Embassy (yippee - we are rich!) and urged us all to use creativity to build the future of this fine area!
So.... come to Garston.... just remember to bring your passport!!!!
Today Liverpool begins it's celebrations in the year it is European Capital of Culture. Ringo Starr will be singing (or swinging - no not that kind) on the roof of St Georges Hall. It is being televised on Sunday I believe...
Think of Liverpool and you'll think of football, the Beatles, the ferries, the Liver Birds (as seen in this picture of The Royal Liver Building by Dave Wood which can be seen with more at this site)
People are what make a place, this city has many brilliant people who have helped make it what it is...as a poet from these shores once said...
