A Day in the Life…
(with a pre-emptive apology to J. Lennon and Sir Paul)
Behind the bus stop in the middle of the roundabout...
There’s a motorcar that sits before a bank...
And then the tourist rushes away…
From the pouring rain
Very strange...
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
Let me take you down,
'cause I'm going to TRY and find…
All the lonely people
Father McKenzie…
Wonders who’s stumbling round with that camera near her grave
Is anyone sane?
So if you haven’t figured out…
After A Hard Day’s Night at the wedding yesterday we became Day Trippers as we took The Long and Winding Road to Liverpool for Ray’s Magical Mystery Tour of most the incredibly touristy Beatles’ stuff.
Our gracious hosts for the weekend, Mark and Christine escorted us armed with GPS and Google maps galore, and put up with my idiosyncrasies as we searched for (in no particular order) a headstone, a street and a gate (see above). All the while dodging somewhat heavy rain showers.
We also headed down to Albert’s Dock and took in the Beatles’ Story which included a detailed history of the Fab Four.
After checking out two OUTSTANDING, almost museum-like pubs (The Philharmonic and The Vines) we meandered down to Mathew St., home of the Cavern Club. Well… the original site IS still there, but the club itself is a reincarnation.
Thanks again to our hosts for a most enjoyable weekend and especially for Mark’s persistence in finding what proved to be (for us) the almost elusive gates to Strawberry Field.
Goo goo g' joob

There beneath the dark and rainy skies, Penny Lane.

Strawberry Fields…
All the lonely peopleWhere do they all belong?
Eleanor Rigby...
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
