I was recently invited to a christening. The invitation was from my cousin, Catherine, and it was to be held in the beginning of July. I couldn’t wait. Not to meet the baby, I’m afraid, but because she lives in Liverpool, and I was looking forward to go there for a shopping spree! But, sadly, I was told I wouldn’t stay ...  Read the complete review

I was born and raised in Southport, then went away for 15 years or so, and now find myself back living in the old hometown. Having been away, I find I see the town in a different light.

You can park on the beach for a couple of quid, the reason why is it's not very often you see the ...  Read the complete review

I went with a group of friends to Southport and we all had babies under 2. It was great for us, a nice beach (that wasnt too crowded) plenty of places to eat and have a drink and there were lots of facilities to change your baby/toddler. Theres also quite a lot of shops, so if you wanted to do a spot of shopping at the same time that ...  Read the complete review
