The Barefaced Poet: April 2011
http://liverpoolpoet.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 April 2011. A lovely Good Friday walk to Hale Lighthouse/beach. It nearly killed me and is taking 2 days to recover from but it was worth it! Had a lovely medicinal drinkie at The Childe of Hale pub too before heading home. John Middleton (1578–1623) was an English giant commonly known as the Childe of. Hale Most of what is known about him is based on oral tradition and legends. Legend tells that he slept with his feet out of the window of his small house. The long walk down to the beach.

The Barefaced Poet: July 2010
http://liverpoolpoet.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 22 July 2010. In search of Cupcake. I received a 2nd hand book today that I'd ordered on line from America and inside the cover I found a birthday card! I opened it and it read. Even if you called Mrs cleaver a notorious strumpet". Now, having recently had a birthday myself, I thought it may have been a marketing ploy from the company I bought the book from but clearly not, unless this is some strange coded message!

The Barefaced Poet: A special day...
http://liverpoolpoet.blogspot.com/2012/03/special-day.html
Friday, 2 March 2012. Way back in 2007, I told you about 'The Liverpool Saga'. And how some lines of my poetry had been selected to go into the saga. Well, NML have finally got round to doing something with the poem. They initially said it would go on a special brass plaque in the museum, with all the names of the contributors, but that never happened. The saga has now been published in book form and is in the 'The Museum of Liverpool'. When it was first published, my contribution was verse three! We wen...

The Barefaced Poet: You can never go back...
http://liverpoolpoet.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-can-never-go-back.html
Thursday, 19 January 2012. You can never go back. That's the saying isn't it? Generally, I abide by this and if I've had a fantastic time somewhere I am always loathed to go back because I always think that the next time I go, it can never be as good. When my sister and I were little, mum and dad used to take us and the caravan down to Abersoch and we'd stay on a camp site right next to The Warren. The Warren is the main beach in Abersoch and it's lovely; golden sand, lovely views etc. We took mum and Mo...

The Barefaced Poet: November 2010
http://liverpoolpoet.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 November 2010. We're in a recession apparently and the amount of people trying to save money, or talking about trying to save money, has exploded! I love it personally as we've been trying to live cheaply for a few years now, since I had to give up work. Hence getting the chickens, growing fruit and veg, amongst other money making (or rather money saving) exercises. This is the diary of a chicken keeping friend of mine and I love reading what she's been doing to save a penny or two! Saturday...

The Barefaced Poet: March 2011
http://liverpoolpoet.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 March 2011. I'm really getting into this crochet lark. Just finished a poncho and matching hat for myself. I'm rather pleased with it :0). Monday, 7 March 2011. For Ian's birthday this year we got the train from Liverpool Lime St. to Euston and the whole trip only cost £20 booking with virgin trains via megabus.com. It would have only cost 50p by bus but we didn't fancy the 5 hour trip and you can't really complain at £20 return for 2 people! Very multicultural is The East end and there were ...

Saturday, 14 May 2011. Quackers about the locals. Had a very productive afternoon despite the rain! Bought some live mealworms for our OAP (old aged poultry), we have a raggedy little ex battery hen who we think is on her last legs so we're spoiling her with tasty grub, or should I say tasty grubs! Steak, mince and burgers from 'Brosters beef' clay lane farm cw7 2qh. Asparagus from 'cherry orchard farm' CW8 2HN. Duck eggs from a friend's ducks. And that, my friends, is un oeuf! Friday, 6 May 2011. Our lo...

Monday, 4 July 2011. Went with mum to an al fresco music event on Sunday. A few local bands were playing inside St Luke's at the top of Bold Street, Liverpool. 'But how can they be inside if it's al fresco? I hear you ask, well. St Luke's is also known hereabouts as 'The Bombed Out Church'. We had to sign a waver absolving the organisers of the event of any responsibilty should a piece of loose masonry fall on our heads! We went to try and sell a few of my poetry cards. It was pretty overgrown and unkemp...
