Trip To Manchester and Liverpool

As we decided to stay in the UK for this years holidays we had a cultural trip to Manchester and Liverpool. This closed my holiday period following the Olympics and a family wedding in Chester-le-Street.

In Manchester we visited a large Lowry exhibition and in Liverpool there was a exhibition of paintings by Turner, Monet and Twombly.  Comparing their styles and influences.

Further up the coast was Anthony Gormley's beach figures at Crosby.

We let the train take the strain and left the car at home.  The Senior Rail Card came to out of the wallet. The Holiday Inn and Thistle Hotels provided the rooms and breakfasts.
