By Donn Lovett & ‘wee John’ Habeeb - June 3rd, 2018
The day started harmlessly with John and I dawdling along the streets of Liverpool, destination Moose Coffee (https://www.moosecoffee.co) on Dale Street. John’s mother Shanda and his Gramma Nora had gone on ahead.
We discovered one of the famous UK Red Telephone Boxes, in use since 1924 and a great jail for wee John (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_telephone_box).
After that bit of fun, we got back on the trail of Moose Coffee as we walked alongside Liverpool City Hall. Liverpool City Hall is "one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls", originally constructed in the mid 1700s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Town_Hall).
We walked along the side of the building turning the corner to come along the front of this beautiful building when we caught sight of an object sitting peacefully between the bricks. We picked out the painted stone turned it over and discovered a notation of a Facebook page related to this very stone titled ‘Kernow Rocks!’ (https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=kernow%20rocks). It occurred to us that we would take the stone on a journey through the UK and release it once we arrived back in Edinburgh.
First stop Moose Coffee where the stone joined us for a fabulous breakfast with fantastic service and wonderful ambiance.
Following breakfast it was off to ride on the Mersey Ferry, something I’d wanted to do since I first heard Gerry & the Pacemakers sing this song in 1965 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08083BNaYcA).On the way to the Ferry, a quick pic of Canada House. Then on to the Ferry and a lifelong wish came true for me and I trust wee John enjoyed it as much as I did, ahhhhh.
