March 8th 2010 - Under Starter's Orders...

As this year's races at Aintree got underway today, I thought this photograph of a small selection of Liverpool's iconic mini Lambananas lining up under the Liver Buildings was like a humorous suggestion of the 'horses' under starter's orders.

March 8th 2010 - The Women's Hospital

This hospital is the first trust in Liverpool to receive foundation status. An amalgamation of a number of women's health and maternity units in the city, the Liverpool Women's Hospital came into being in 1995. Today is International Women's Day, so it seemed fitting that I should photograph this pioneering women's health establishment in Liverpool...and as both of my children were born here, it has special memories for me too.
