The Bluecoat is the oldest building in Liverpool city centre, built c.1717 in the Queen Anne style to house a school for poor children. It's been redeveloped and reopened in 2008 (Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture) as an arts centre.

10 Things I'd Do Over...

List written 10 April 2008

In January 2007 a friend and I took a small road trip through Southern California. If I went again, I'd do some things differently.

Cathedral Rock

Cathedral Rock

In one of the few occasions of our getting the timing right, we took a walk through Golden Canyon to Cathedral Rock early in the morning when the light was just right. The colours in the rocks were just amazing.

Erraid

Erraid

This belongs with the photo under sail, as it is one of the little coves we visited on our sailing trip off Mull and Iona. This is Balfour Bay on Erraid, a tiny island off south-west tip of Mull. It featured in R.L. Stevenson's novel, Kidnapped, and is named after David Balfour. You can only get to the island by boat or on foot across Erraid Sound at low tide

One of the best ways to see the islands off the West Coast of Scotland is by boat - indeed, most visitors access them by ferry. Even better than the ferries, however, is the chance to sail around the islands, gliding in and out of the all the rarely-visited inlets and channels, such as Balfour Bay. It's the most peaceful way to travel, and a glorious way to spend some time.
