Tuesday 4th October (Pictures, Pots and Port Sunlight)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a silver birch tree where the leaves were dropping down one by one. Today Mr. Kite and His Lady were heading home, but first a visit to the impressive Lady Lever Art Museum.

To make the visit more interesting Mr. Kite and His Lady were met by a black-headed gull perched on the tall Lever Hulme column. Now that what all good sculptures are for; a perch for birds. Well down to the designer Edward Onslow Ford for sculpting such a spectacular perch.

More birdie themes included hats that included ostrich, goose and jay feathers. Eagle heads on a lions body with a candle-holder stuck on top and Stubbs picture of The Farmers Wife and the Raven. Now Mr. Kite enjoyed the gallery very much.

At the end of the afternoon Mr. Kite returned home for a tipple of Becks. Cheers to all the birds that have inspired pictures, pots and Port Sunlight.
