FLOWER POWER at Southport’s North West in Bloom 46th Award Ceremony. Merseyside Wins Twice! Best Big Village, Woolton, Best Small Village, Gateacre
My visit to the UK, this week, happened to coincided with North West in Bloom Award Ceremonies. A luncheon was held at Southport’s Floral Hall Complex. Southport brings back memories of childhood day trips, so I was pleased for the opportunity to revisit the area. Although much has changed, a lot of the architecture and topography the same. As an earlier post on this blog tells, the North West of Britatin is well worth exploring: England Isn’t Just London. Travel North West For Authentic Local Experiences (June 25, 2008).
The North West in Bloom is part of the Britain in Bloom family. The intention is, as Britain in Bloom’s brochure cover states: “A cleaner and greener Britain through community action.”
p.s. My mother, Shirley, was part of the Woolton team, (front, center of image).
