The weather was inclement to say the least when we got up Saturday morning but by 11.00am the sun was largely out as crowds gathered at The Metropolitan Cathedral. Well that's most of us, with one person deciding to go to the Anglican one.

The singers were from all sorts of different choirs including The Choir With No Name, run by our very own Ema. The Liverpool singers joined other groups in London and Glasgow and at midday all three locations sang a beautiful rendition of "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. The aim was to send a message to the delegates in Glasgow. Job well done I say. It was very emotional and heart warming to see and hear such a beautiful sight of hundreds of people singing on the steps of the cathedral.

Then it was off to the Museum of Liverpool for most of us. One of the group decided to play hide and seek by going to the World Museum. We all finally met up in the docks and of course before we did anything had tea, cake and other assorted food.

Once re-fuelled we spent a lovely tine walking around the museum and learning all sorts about the city's past, including a fascinating section about Liverpool's links with the orient.

It was so nice to spend time not running or cleaning, or painting and having a giggle, and spending tine with some lovely people.

There are 2 more social events planned, one a trip to Williamson tunnels and the other a Christmas quiz on zoom, so we hope to see you at one of these soon.
