Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches
If you walk along the beach at the bottom of my road, you will run into the most unlikely people.
Antony Gormley's work of art Another Place has been installed along a 3km stretch of the Sefton coastline at Waterloo and Crosby and will remain here for 18 months.
The statues are cast iron and said to be casts of his own body. They stand naked and life-sized at various stages of submersion in the Mersey Estuary.
They are fascinating and it's amazing to think this work of art is right here on my doorstep. Look, you can see my house!

Does it not freeze in winter? Would do the statues in I'd think...

It's never cold enough here for the sea to freeze Ike - despite my moaning. They've only been here a very short time (the official launch was last Friday) so we have yet to see how they will fare against the British elements.
