| I
hope you enjoy your visit and I would like to
offer you a warm Scouse welcome (Liverpudlians
are known as Scousers, after the
gastronomic delight of boiled root vegetables and
meat we are thought to eat all the time).
Merseysiders are proud of their region, and
rightly so. It is exceptionally rich in history,
interest and visual appeal as I hope you will
agree. If allertonOak satisfies your
curiosity about Merseyside, causes pangs of
nostalgia if you are an expat or simply gets you
away from the telly, then it will have served its
purpose. Best of all, why not visit Merseyside
and take a look for yourself. By the way, the Allerton
Oak is an ancient tree in Calderstones Park,
South Liverpool (about which more elsewhere). |
