It not being Sunday we walked to Liverpool Cathedral which is big. Actually it's the longest Cathedral in the world and they didn't let us into that either in case we got lost. So instead we walked under the tunnel lined with gravestones into the quiet of St James gardens with it's fountain of springwater. It was lovely though the gravestones made very sad reading.

William Huskisson was buried here in 1830. He was the MP for Liverpool elected in 1823. He was the first person in the world to be killed by a steam train having fallen into the path of an oncoming locomotive.

We sat for quite a while in the park drinking in the quiet and the coffee and then decided to walk back via Chinatown which looks very run down at the moment which is probably because we are not getting on at all well with China just now so they are all keeping a low profile or in hiding in case Dominic Raab decides to pay them a visit.

Even the dragon looked fed up so I gave it my gay umbrella to chew to cheer it up.
