A Room With(out) a View


I'm with Lucy Honeychurch on this one - I do like my rooms to have a view.  This looks about two feet onto the wall of a Chinese warehouse built in 1864.  The small hotel in the late Georgian Liverpool town house row looked promising enough on line (and was well within research budget means) - and indeed, it seems friendly, even if the wallpaper (there's a tiny little bit visible under the window) is so jungly that I'm very tempted to draw tiny tiny insects on it.


I'd intended to go to Birkenhead Park (much Victorian landscape design) when I arrived in the late afternoon, but it was so grey and drizzly that I stayed in and finished and posted all my grading whilst eating M&S salads.  You'll get a sense of the attractiveness of L'pool this afternoon - lots of stalls selling bubble machines ...

... just in case you thought Research only takes me to super-picturesque places ...
