May 13th 2012 Wirral Circular Trail
Weather on our side as we walked the Port Sunlight to Hooton section of the Trail.
Another good day for plants, as you can see. Bromborough Pool Village & Port Sunlight Village are well worth the visit; linked with Price's Patent Candle Company and the Lever Factory respectively. Eastham Country Park is a wildlife haven with oh so many grey squirrels.
