10 Ramblers completed a 10 mile circuit today starting and ending at Kelsall Village Hall in Cheshire. Once again we were lucky with the weather, and needed hats and sun tan lotion rather than overtrousers and waterproofs. From Kelsall we crossed over a busy trunk road and then headed through lovely fields and woodlands onto the Eddisbury way. There were a significant number of stiles on varying quality, and at one point we were walking through dense nettle filled undergrowth aided with the use of some strategic secateurs to make the way passable!

This exquisite exhibition of jewellery will mesmerise visitors to Lady Lever Art Gallery this autumn as part of the gallery’s centenary year celebrations.

Pure Brilliance: The Boodles Story will showcase the jewellery brand’s 200 year story and show how Liverpool has helped shape the company’s growth, from a family jewellery business to purveyors of some of the most stunning jewels in the world.

See how the heritage of Liverpool’s vibrant and creative jewellery industry in the late 19th century created a market for good quality jewellery and metalwork, for which Boodles soon acquired a reputation.

We are doing self guided visit to this brilliant exhibition , no tours on offer.

Wednesday November 2nd  call into u3a Tuesday  to book.

We will probably meet at venue 12 noon for 1.30 pm

Nice cafe on site. contact Maureen or Jan

Ladybird Exhibition – Williamson

We had a wonderful tour given by Niall  Hodson from Williamson Gallery, Birkenhead. His enthusiasm is infectious. Even though this is probably one of the most inaccessible galleries we visit , the effort was worthwhile.

If you want nostalgia this is for you. The Ladybird books are very collectable so if you have some hidden away, hang on to them. So much personal information available about each artists contribution.

On view until September 10th, it’s a must to visit, only three venues  included in England so far and its FREE. Next stop,  Northumberland in 2024
