Well, I thought it was time for a quick update on the progress of Mersey: The river that changed the world. The production deadline is approaching, now that 2007 is underway, so Colin and I have picked up the pace on our interviews and photography. I took a trip to Liverpool last week to meet Louise Clark, an angler with Sefton Sea Anglers. Louise was great to interview, and even told me about the time she caught a 'crocodile' off the Sefton coast - at the age of just 7. You'll have to read the book to find out if she's really Merseyside's answer to Steve Irwin.
The next item on the agenda is our trip to London to talk to Lord Heseltine about his time in Liverpool in the 1980s. After some confusion with the A to Z, I'm now all ready to go, and semi-confident that I shan't get lost! We've got some really interesting questions to put to Lord Heseltine, and I'm sure the audio will be worth a listen when it's ready.
When we get back from the capital, we're both meeting Paul, a Loadingmaster from the oil terminal at Tranmere, so I think we might be testing our sea (or river) legs once again aboard a tanker.......
More news when the intercity delivers me safely back to the Northwest.
