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.

The alarm went off...

 Quick breakfast.

We loaded up the car.

 Said goodbye to the house.

See you Tuesday

 Nice bit of reading↑

While listening to "The Sounds of the 60s"

We have a first stop off the motorway↓

 It was a bit chilly to sit by the pond this time

 

 Enjoyed the coffee↓

 Plus nibbles↓

 Good CD to listen too↓

 Hey hey we are nearly at Blackpool

 

 

 We got to B&B.

A nice bed was waiting for us...later↓

 Nice bit of cold coffee to have↓

 Oh dear, we leave the B&B and it starts to rain!

 We catch the tram to the North Pier

 I pop into a shop called "Blacks".

I bought a size 9 crochet hook and some lovely wool.

 The Old Post Office Building↑

 Red telephone boxes↑

 We caught the tram to Fleetwood.

I visited a shop that had a stall at the NEC Craft Fair we visited a few months ago.

Fabrics at Fleetwood

 I got a big Pom Pom from there.

Before we entered Fleetwood Market, four women at the entrance decided to take the piss out of me and the t-shirt I was wearing..

I ignored the piss taking and looked around the market.

We went for a coffee

 

 

We left to get the tram to Cleveleys.

We got off to get our evening meal from Aldi.

I walked into a charity shop and the shop assistants started loudly taking the piss out of the t-shirt I was wearing again.

I left in disgust.

We can the tram back into Blackpool.

We nip into McDonalds↓

 While we were waiting to get the tram back to the B&B, two men were singing a great song.

I had to sing along with them...

We were great as a trio.

The song was↓
