A Bit Of A Wind Problem

“Haters will see you walk on water and say it’s because you can’t swim.”Martin Crane in Frasier

I woke up early to enjoy a cup of tea..

 Everyone finally got up.

We had a filling breakfast.

Now back out to explore Blackpool!

 We are playing on the South Pier.

I have £3.80 in 2 pence coins..

Lets me try and win some £££££↓

 I did make £1.60 and  £1.10.

We popped into a good friend who runs a 4* Hotel just up the road from the South Pier.

We were chatting, we saw someone try to park in a very small space.

It got in the space but was touching the car in front! 

We said goodbye to Tony.

Then off to get some lunch. 

 

 

 

 Now to walk it off...

However after we completed a mile, the winds were getting up to over 40 m.p.h and lifting all my dress up...like in a certain film..

So I walked very quick to the next tram stop and caught the tram back to the B&B.

Enjoying the sights of Blackpool along the way.

 We got off at the Cabin stop.

The sea was coming over the sea wall.

The man whose car was near the sea wall had to move his car in the end.

 We got our tea from the local corner shop.

While the kids played on the Xbox

We tested the bed again↓

 We enjoyed our evening meal later.

Caught up on some telly.

Those winds were blowing....

A very Wild Wind indeed.

Welcome to Windy Tuesday.

I could hear the wind chimes having a good bang outside.

Storm Gareth was coming in...

First cuppa of the day↓

 I gave everyone big 💋💋💋 when they all left.

I am glad I am putting my leggings on...

The wind is getting up...

Now comes the rain!

 

 

 I parks in my normal place when I have to visit the Doctors. It was empty! I had the pick of the car park \o/.

The wind and rain was lashing at the Sexy Beast while onto work I went.

Even the temperatures were falling ↘↘↘

As it was far too windy and the rain was lashing down....

So no pictures of the surrounding countryside today.... 

The rain was still coming down when I got home....

 

 I enjoyed cheese on toast with coffee.

 

  The rain stopped and the sun came out!

After I finished the other job,

I need a nice chicken stir fry,

with plenty of garlic, ginger and spinach thrown in....

We watched:

and

 The wind was still banging my wind chimes..

That banging gives me ideas....
