There's a bumper crop of apples on the trees this year, and Mike tells me they get taken up to Speke Hall and made into apple pie - so next time you order one in the cafe there you could be eating John Lennon's bramleys!
I also had a few quiet moments to myself in John's old bedroom.
The tour group which was in the house when Yoko arrived was a little surprised to say the least! And several people had got wind of the visit and had turned up at the gate...some from Canada, Poland and Ireland.
Earlier, she also paid a visit to Dovedale School where the kids screamed the playground down and Yoko had a look around the new Sure Start centre built on the site.
There was a "walking piano" on the floor which she gamely hopped on. Apparently if no one steps on it for a while it starts playing Imagine of its own accord.
We also had a look in the school register at John's entry. It gives his address in 1946 as Menlove Avenue, but dad Alfred's at Mosspits Lane in Wavertree......that year John left school at the end of May and came back in September. I wonder exactly what the hiatus was?
Anyway, it was a lovely sunny day and it all seemed to go very well.
