Welcome to my exciting Thursday 😍

My youngest son is getting his A-level results this morning. ;)))

Breakfast and Brew.

Dressed.

I leave the same time as hubby.

I give him a sloppy wet one 💋

Goes to the local Tescos to fetch my newspaper.

Bumps into a ex-worker who turned out to be a bit of back stabber when I worked with her.

She asked how I doing.(Glad she didn't read my mind when I answered her question)

Back home I went.

Adds more to the recycle bin outside.

It being emptied today.

Coffee time.

Wishes younger son good luck as he goes and gets his results.

Out comes Kenny the Kenwood.

Quick cake to be made. 

Cakes go in the oven.

Just about manages to download yesterday's photos.

Cake cooled down.

Now to add some bits and pieces...

My son's A- level results:

Maths - A

Chemistry - A

Geography - B

Liquid lunch time.

Now out I go for a little ride...

I just got there and someone was reversing out of a space.

Time for another hair cut...

Pixie time!

While I was waiting for son who was having his  hair caught, I was chatting a woman about our holidays in Blackpool.

We talked about the charity shops in Cleveleys, Lytham, and St Annes.

I told her about last year's holiday when the kids had to catch the train back as the car was rammed.

I told her about our visit to see Les Dawson's grave we visited at Whitson.

When we go up next, we are going to see Keith Harris's grave.

My son was looking really great with his new haircut.

I told the woman before I left.

"I don't have long hairstyle no more, as I look like a bad transvestite!"

They all laughed as I went down the stairs.

Got some reduced things in Tescos before we went home.

Picture time!

Hubby has a haircut as well.

He gets a takeaway on the way back.

I recorded the first 3 episodes of "I Claudius".

It repeated on BBC 4.

Really good :)

Off we go.

As there was a train strike on, the motorways were rammed! The motorway we were on stalled at one point, so we had do Plan B.

We were still on the road at 4pm.

We had to get off again for another break...

Back on the road to try and get home before it gets dark!

Welcome to another sunny day in Blackpool 😎

We woke up early for a much needed brew↓

We went down for Breakfast.

Came back up to fetch the trolley....

Now to catch a tram to Fleetwood...

We caught the tram to Fleetwood.

The market was still open :)

Got two large bag of sweets for the kids.

Now to walk down Fleetwood High Street.

There was a tram not going anywhere...

The way the car had parked, the tram couldn't get past the back end of the car.

We all stood watching the tram driver phoning the depot and the police. Suddenly a man appeared at the car.

I started giving him a loud clap and everyone else joined in. The old man ignored the tram driver, and reversed and drove off!

We then carried on walking....

We had to buy another trolley!

We had a ice cream and watched trams come and go...

Nice name for a shop↓

Waited for the tram to arrive...

We caught the tram to Cleveleys.

Nice lloyd Loom in one Charity Shop↓

Coffee and nibble time...

We popped into Aldi to get our tea for next couple of nights.

The red light is flashing again!

Back on the tram, back to the B&B.

Unpacked all our bargains.

Looked in the newspaper before we went down for tea.

We had our tea.

Now to walk it off...

Back to the B&B, to enjoy the lovely bed!
