The link was sent to me by my cousin and he has come up trumps again (thank you CK)
As you may know or may not know, depending which part of this planet or indeed which part of the UK you live in, Liverpool was voted City of Culture for 2008.
Now being a Liverpool lass from birth and way back in one part of my family history to C1795 I am so very pleased about this.
I love my birthplace, it is heaped with history (some of it is not so sweet with the slave trade but as those higher up the pecking order have said 'we are sorry' but at the end of the day we can not carry the hair shirt of our ancestors, we can only do what we think is right at the time of our existence on this planet and we learn as we go along....... I often wonder how we will be judged when we are no more..............)
But I do love Liverpool with a passion as a city, it is my roots (I am trying to embrace the changes however!! some of which I will be so positive about but find a bit foreboding )

My cousin sent me link this weekend about 2008 and it's plans to celebrate the accolade it has been given :-
"Commissioned by Liverpool Culture Company for European Capital of Culture 2008. In May 2006 something incredible happened in London. For four days the city stopped in its tracks and marvelled at the sight of a gigantic wooden elephant, and a little-girl giant in a green dress. A million people jammed the streets, astonished at the scale and beauty of the spectacular Sultan’s Elephant . Now Artichoke, the company that brought that event to London, is planning a magical new show, created specially for Liverpool 2008. The precise details are a closely-guarded secret, but what’s certain is that it will be huge in scale and utterly unlike anything seen in Liverpool before: an unforgettable piece of live theatre, played out against the landmarks of a great city. Will you find it? Register now for updates and you just might...www.willyoufindit.co.uk ."
There is loads going on in 2008 and the the new magical event is scheduled for 26th - 28th September 2008
Just to say I will be going .. want to join me?
