Hello friends, I was in Liverpool over the recent bank holiday weekend. I visited the Picton Reading Room at the Central Library, the Walker Art Gallery, Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight, Speke Hall, and the coast at Crosby Beach. The Lady Lever currently has a small but well-presented exhibit on the textile artist May Morris that is open until November. On Sunday, I visited Gustaf Adolfs Kyrka in the Baltic Triangle, which holds services in English and Swedish, and celebrated the installation of the new pastor there. As always, I really enjoyed my time in this friendly city!
