I was there when Hibbo scored

Top shirt

Derby day, Waterloo vs Birkenhead Park. Mens XVs then the Ladies XVs. Two great clubs

So far Waterloo on top, more as I have it

The Mersey looking decidedly Turner-esque from the Tate

Went to the Turner, Monet & Twombley exhibition at Tate Liverpool...brilliant collection. Definitely go to see it if you can

Just found this on my phone. Hibbert scored and we rioted

Brilliant to be there and get on the pitch when a great Evertonian finally scored, it wasn't some ropey penalty he got either. We got the free kick and the Gwladys sang his name as he slowly marched up to take it. The celebration when it hit the net were fabulous and then everyone just scrambled to get on the pitch. It had to happen.

Oops something landed in Liverpool

Liverpool Biennial?

Greek style columns unearthed on Camp Hill, Woolton, Liverpool?

Anyone know anything about this? We happened upon a newly uncovered site whilst walking back from The Victoria. Does this mean we've been walking past these antiquities for years and never knowing they were there in the overgrown undergrowth?

Season tickets have arrived, season tickets have arrived, season tickets have arrived...

Another year following Everton, always great when they drop through the letterbox...ask me again in November whether it's such a joyous event.

Still, today....whilst the hardcore blues are in Dundee and most of my season ticket friends are in France doing voluntary work in Lourdes with Liverpool Hospitalite I am sitting back in Hunts Cross with a smile on my face.

Another "Sky on Fire" sunset over Liverpool

Well you can never have too many

Time to take down our German Euro 2012 wallchart

Got this in Maximilians near Koblenz on a recent stag do. My wife has filled it out in German to keep in with the theme.

Great tournament overall and you have to say the best team won, the pity is that perhaps it didn't get the final it deserved because A: Italy going down to 10 men and B: The 2nd best team in the tournament, Germany, failing to turn up for the semi-final.

For England, given the awful preparation, getting out of the group as leaders represents a success but to fall to a penalty shoot-out yet again grates on your nerves.

Went for a wonder round the re-opened Garden Festival park.

Remember going there 30 years ago...nice to wonder round all these years later. Still a work in progress but very nicely restored with the pagodas making up the centrepiece.

Koblenz (with the Rhine and Moselle)

Definitely a great place to go to, haven't been to Germany nearly enough but spent a weekend there watching footy, drinking and sightseeing.

And Corgis! Warming up for the Diamond Jubilee with The Times

I do love Irthlingborough

One of the funniest placenames ever

Looking through old maps and plotting the history of Hunts Cross, Garston & Woolton

Have looking through map versions going back to 1840 to find out the history of south Liverpool...in particular Hunts Cross and the area we live in. There seems to have been a place called Honey Hall and Rose Farm where we live now although I have never seen any trace of it when I walk round nowadays.

If a map OS map says it's a rough track then get ready to scramble

Spent hours stumbling through the gorgeous wonderful Scottish countryside, sad to see that the last round of storms have devastated the forests there, at times it was like witnessing the aftermath of the Tungushka Event, so many pines toppled from the roots, many of them across our intended path.

My Father and other working class heroes

One of the best sports books I've ever read, a hymn by Gary Imlach to his father Stewart Imlach who played with distinction in an era when the rewards were scant and the game tough

Brilliant atmosphere at the Sea Odyssey

Awesome things happening in Liverpool right now
