With the short, icy days of Christmas approaching families wanted to make their surroundings as welcoming as possible.

Three hundred years ago Britain was entering an epic era of its history – the Georgian period. Liverpool reaped rewards with the growth of empire and ever-expanding trade.

The Georgian period started in 1714, with George I ascending the throne, and

Welcome to the December edition of the LINK

There are still a few weeks to go...but, as this is our festive issue, there's nothing like getting your greeting in first! So, from all of us here at The LINK, we hope you and yours have the Happiest Christmas ever. We hope also that, while you are having a fantastic time, you will also spare a thought for those who will find that Christmas is not such a happy time...families who have lost a loved one in the past year or people who, for whatever reason, find themselves on their own and those people who may have health or money worries.

riots of colour after frosts had melted into memory. He liked reading on the bench overlooking a path leading through an ivy covered, arched doorway. The drone of bees and twittering of birds sent him into a reverie as he studied a timeworn tome from the family library. The Owles had been at the hall since the 1700s after making their fortunes in the port. Books, along with paintings and furniture, had been

amassed over the centuries. It was a bright sunny afternoon when he first saw her. Christopher was examining a complex engraving when a movement caught his eye. He looked down the path and saw the white figure beyond the arched doorway. She watched him intently, her head slightly bowed. When he looked again, she was gone. Christopher thought he recognised something about the way she moved but dis-

Something glided from behind the flowers – it was the woman in white again. He watched her for a couple of seconds then she was gone. The next time her saw her he was again on the bench. She was closer now and watching him intently. He noticed her smart bonnet and long dress. Her face revealed unutterable sorrow as she nervously wrung her hands. Christopher stood up and made towards her but she was gone. The next day was

Christopher placed the volume by the window overlooking the garden. He carefully opened the age-spotted pages carrying the stale aroma of centuries. He was marvelling at a woodcut of an iron chest secured by huge locks when he was distracted.

into him, his every move watched and noted. “It is you, Alice,” he murmured as he recognised his lost, dead love. She did not respond but turned and walked slowly away, beckoning him to follow. The dusk was falling as he followed her

her welcoming lips and held her slim form. She sighed, a mist formed and she disappeared into the dank tomb. It was their first and last kiss. • Read my next S t r a n g e Ta l e – Leonardo’s Horse – in the January Link.

Marie Curie Cancer Care is looking for people in Liverpool to help organise the charity’s biggest annual fundraising campaign, the Great Daffodil Appeal. The Great Daffodil Appeal encourages everyone to give a donation and wear the charity’s iconic daffodil pin during March.

With planning for the 2014 campaign already underway, the local Marie Curie

fundraising team are looking for volunteers to help in a variety of roles. From organising local collections to delivering boxes of daffodils to shops in your area, by volunteering some of your time you’ll be helping local people with a terminal illness to get the care they need. If you’d like to help your local Marie Curie fundraising team prepare for the Great Daffodil Appeal and make the 2014 campaign the most successful yet, then please contact Colette Byrne on 0151 801 1405 or visit www.mariecurie.org.u k/daffodil for more information.

ALDER FC ZINGARI TEAM PROMISE by Peter Harrison This month’s article puts the spotlight on Will Grant’s I-Zingari Combination division one team who are pushing for the league title. Currently lying second with a game in hand on the leaders, they have made a promising start to the season. Results in the last month include a 32 victory against Liverpool Cavaliers, a 6-1 win against Wood Street and an unfortunate 4-3 defeat to leaders Essemay. Amongst the goals have been Danny Graham who grabbed a hat trick against Essemay, with Phil King, Phil Mason and Guy Clifton netting in other games. The first team have only suffered one league defeat all season, but their number of drawn games is proving to be their achilles heel. Despite g o a l s f r o m Te r r y

Ty n a n a n d P a u l O’Hare they conceded a last minute goal against Copperas Hill to draw 2-2, and also recorded the same score against Bryon, with an Antony Barnes brace registering for the Alder. A goalless draw against Lower Breck completed a hat trick of draws. The second team have had mixed results with a 4-4 draw against Warbreck, but despite a Michael Sutherland strike suffered a 3-1 defeat to Cheshire Lines. Finally, the Vets look to be turning their season around after a heavy cup defeat to Aintree Villa. They drew 1-1 with Winchester and 3-3 against St Allys. Both games could have seen victory as goals were conceded in the last ten minutes of both games. Neil James, Jim Davis and Mark Carney have been amongst the goals.

WORRYING TIMES AT THE CROFT AS DEFEATS MOUNT UP by Mick Titherington Two defeats at the hands of fellow strugglers Roma and Red Rum and then a

thrashing at home by East Villa has seen air of depression descend on the

Maiden Lane outfit. It has been said before but the inability to retain the ball coupled with a distinct lack of confidence has led to series of below par performances and things are now reaching crisis point. On current form it is difficult to see the club hanging on to its coveted Premiership place and players and

officials at the club have all got to pull together, take responsibility and act fast if anything is to be rescued from an up to now extremely disappointing season. No doubt new boss Ross Kirkpatrick, who missed the East Villa game as he was out of the country on business, will have, on hearing the result, raised concerns over

the player resources he has at his disposal. Certainly he will need to apply all his motivational skills and tactical awareness if he is to turn around fortunes when they face the in-form unbeaten league leaders APH at Cheshire Lines in the next game. He will certainly be looking for a reaction from his players.

There is no doubt that the lengthening injury list has had its effect with Jon Bowers, Sam K e r s h a w, M a r k Flanagan, Mick Gough, Matty Adamson and the non-availability of Mark Calland and others reducing the options but these things have to be overcome in competitive football.

Positives have been hard to take from these games but Kirkpatrick will be reassured by reports that his skipper, Paul Finnegan, has been absolutely outstanding and will wonder why others have failed to take inspiration from his Captain Courageous, whose never say die performances deserve the highest

praise. Liam Currie and Jack Kelsall also deserve special mention. They say that when the going gets tough the tough get going and all who support the club will be hoping that the players will show their mettle, dig in and display their determination to bring back happier times to this long established club.
