Making The Most Of The Sunshine!

 If you play with anything long enough it will break - Murphy's Law
Welcome to my Monday in Blackpool🗼
Nice warm hug with brew to start Monday!
Dressed.
Had a lovely cooked breakfast.
We are going to explore outside Blackpool today.
Now out to get the tram!
We missed one tram.
The next tram was full.
The next tram we squeezed on.
When we got down to Starr Gate.
We saw a classic tram!
Tries to run for the bus.....
Misses it!
Another bus goes past and didn't stop at our bus stop :(
Now to wait half an hour for the next bus.
Helicoper about.
Gets the bus to Lytham!
Nice charity shops to look around.
One bargain find↓
Nice pair of shoes,
(Pity they were not my size!)
We sat down in the public square to rest our feet!
Then we caught the bus to
St Annes on Sea.
I got loads of bargains.
Our favourite shop shut at 3pm.
So we nipped into another Coffee Shop.
The person serving wasn't very nice, when I only ordered 3 drinks and not 4.
One of my sons didn't want anything!
I bought some crochet blankets...
I hope soon I will be able to do my own!
We went into one place and before he gave us a price on anything, he looked it up on Ebay!
The Porsche was £16
The lambo was £14.
I decided on something else...
It was too late to visit the Les Dawson Statue.
(We will come up again on Thursday!)
Back on the bus to Starr Gate...
Gets the tram to the South Pier.
Food time.
Well full now....
Now to wait for tram back to the B&B

Back to unpack all the bargains we got today.
Time for a hot chocolate with nibble...
Then to rub down hubby with my warm hands and with....

Putting It Down!

Welcome to the start of my weekend🎈
As the norm, I was up early,
But not that early....
I caught up with the final hour of "Sounds of the 60s" with a nice cup of tea in bed!
 We have a nice snuggle in bed.
We all got up and out in the cold...
 It was nice to get some bargains↓
 Then we popped into the nearby Co-op↓
 Then down to Studley after I dropped off one of my sons at his boxing lesson
 We visited the local Charity Shop.
(Got some bargains!)
Followed by a much needed coffee in the near-by coffee shop↓
 I showed hubby and my other son, where I do my lollypop 🍭 job twice a day↓
 Gets back to car
(via a short cut)
Picked up son from his boxing lesson.
Quick lunch..
Sir Ridley Scott, English film director (Alien, Blade Runner) is 82 years old 🎈
We then went off for a road trip to Alcester.
 Someone picked up a tin in a Charity Shop we were in.
(I said to myself, put it down, put it down)
She did!
Woo hoo!
I swooped in and got it!
I got the kitchen tool to help unrelease lids on jars!
We nipped into Waitrose↓
 Private Eye front cover↑↑↑
Some nice big big sunglasses↓
 We got a free coffee and free newspaper.
 The moon is out↑
 It was getting dark when we got home↓
 I got myself an advent calender↓
 I made a really tasty Califlower Cheese↓
