(S) This morning I watched (outside if our hotel window) the sunrise over Wembley stadium and the city of London, life is hard!
(T) On the road again and it was up to Birkenhead ( near Liverpool) to see where my family hails from. With a 4hr drive ahead it was an early start with a break for breakfast in Birmingham before pushing on to stay with Pete and Carol. Pete is dad's cousin so i was excited to learn more about the early days of our family. With only a couple of weeks before the 5yr anniversary it was a fitting time be here with him.
This afternoon we took a tour around Birkenhead with Pete & Carol giving us a great insight into my families history in the area, I learnt so much this afternoon. We took in the church where my great grandparents were married, the church where my grandparents ( and most likely Dad ) were christened, Great Auntie Mary's little home where the family spent many nights as well as the various parks and lanes where Dad played as a kid.
There's still so much more to see next time, but to finally take in this history up close and personal was a truly moving experience......
