Downstairs for a lovely breakfast.
Afterwards, we put on the rain coats and grabbed the trolley. Out to grab the tram.

It was very windy on the front.
Time for a coffee....
Now to get the tram to Fleetwood.
On the tram we go, to Fleetwood....
Adding sandbags on the island at Gynn Square.
We gets off at Fleetwood Ferry.
(End of the line)
Time for something to eat....
Mmmmmm
Now to get the tram to Cleveleys,

Back on the tram with our bargains.
The island at Gynn Square looks nice now↓
Back to the hotel to unload our bargains.
Cup of tea time.
We had a light tea.
Then started to pack the bags for the return trip back home tomorrow.

Better Chance Of Looking At My Pine Cone!

When all else fails, read the instructions - Anon
Welcome to my Friday Feeling 🎈
Nice warm hug to start Friday with.
Brew with breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on.
It was raining outside.
The forecast from 7am -2pm was rain.
So on goes those sexy lumo trousers.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one when I leave.
I go and gets the cakes before I put on my Lollipop gear.
Then on goes two hats, big gloves and boots!
Looks like I have missed the rain!
Just my luck!
Wears the waterproofs and the sun comes out!
Once I have put on my lights, the fun starts.
Cars were stopping.
Except for the 4 cars, one after each other didn't stop. The 5th car driver did finally stop :)
The winds were getting up.
That is why I only poked my stick out a bit.
I didn't fancy flying off with my lollipop stick!
Everyone asked where I was yesterday morning.
I told them the stick was separated from top and the bottom.
I finished in one piece.
I go round and to pick up newspaper.
When the Land Rover came up behind me.
Talk about kissing the arse!
Just arrived home,
And it starts to rain!
Coffee machine goes on.
Gets ready for my friend to arrive.
My friend arrives and time to yak, coffee and cake.
Later on I wave her goodbye.
No post :(
Soup time.
It was still raining before I left.
On goes those lumo sexy trousers.
Now to leave.
One Land Rover failed to stop at the road traffic island, nearing hitting me as I was going around it.The  licence plate had 50 FT in it.
50 FT of dum dum I say...
I tried to tie my hat down with a scarf as it was quite windy. On goes the boots and gloves again.
The doughnuts are ready for my friends.
I turned on my lights.
Now waited for my friends to arrive.
The sun keeps appearing.
My friends arrive for rabbit and doughnuts.
The wind is really getting up strong.
I wish my friends a good weekend.
Now for me to start.
Talk about being blown about!
Dum Dum in his Land Rover went past me twice, having a good look at me being blown about!
I gave up on the scarf holding my hat down, as it kept flying off!
I couldn't do the BOING as my lollipop stick would have blown away! 
I finished in one piece.
I will have to consult my pine cone for further weather predictions, as today it was forecasted rain from the forecast on my phone and no rain appeared only sun!
Back home.
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
Puts the tea in the oven.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one when he came home.
The rain is back, he looked like a drowned rat,when he came in.
Tea is served.
Yum.
