A Magical Mystery Tour

Could you guess where I have just visited from the title of this blog entry?  What if I had said that I had been on a Yellow Submarine, or that it was a Hard Days Night?

You guessed right...I went to Liverpool last weekend!  I had a brilliant time - what a fab city (a Fab Four city?!)  OK...I will leave the Beatles references alone now - although I did go to a famous street called Matthew Street and saw where the famous quartet started.  I don't know much about the Beatles, being quite a young little bear, but people tell me they are famous. There certainly was a lot of stuff around the city about them, so people must really like them.



This is a picture of me at Albert Dock, which used to be where things like cotton and tea were once stored, although now it is a tourist attraction with lots of shops, museums and places to eat.  I went there to visit the Tate Art Gallery, which is a gallery of modern art.



It is a really interesting gallery - with lots of different types of modern art in it.  I am not sure I really understood all of the art there - some of it was very strange like this piece by an artist called Salvador Dali.

Even though I didn't understand all the pieces of art there, I still enjoyed looking at them and trying to work out what they were supposed to be about.

Later on I took a look around the rest of the city, which has got some really really big buildings in it.  This is a picture of me in front of the Liver Building.  The bird on the top of the clock tower is called a Liver Bird.  I had to look up what a Liver Bird was, because I had never heard of one.  Apparently they are mythical birds that look after the city, and if they ever fly away the city will disappear!

I hope that never happens because I think that Liverpool is a nice city, and one that I would like to go back to again.

Veni, Vidi, Vici!

Guess where I am?

Did you guess right?  I am in Chester - the picture above is of the Eastgate Clock which is in the middle of the city.  So, why am I here?  Well, the exciting news for me is that I have moved here!  It is quite a long way from Cambridge - on the other side of the country.

I think I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that my servant was moving house and I decided that, although I probably could get another one I had trained this one just right and so I would stick with her and make the move myself.

The city is quite historic - with quite a lot of Roman history.  I have even seen a Roman soldier walking around the city!  I know, you don't believe me do you - but I have...I'll try and get a photo of him soon and put it up here to prove it!

It has taken a little while to get really settled here, but I am starting to feel like this is home.  Although a bear like me enjoys travelling a lot, seeing new places and meeting new people it is also very nice to have a home to come back to which has all the bear necessities!!
