At the Seaside

Did you guess where we went from the clues on yesterday's post?   My Girl and I spent the day in Blackpool.   It is probably 30 odd years since I have been to Blackpool and My Girl has never been,  it was certainly an interesting day!

First we visited a Rock shop,  but this one was making rock and giving demonstrations throughout the day,  it was fascinating watching the demonstrations.

We then wandered along to the beach front, so very british and exactly what I had imagined Blackpool to be,  I was fascinated with the Donkey rides and especially the one little donkey who decided to have a little wander on his own

After people watching for a while, we decided to ride on a tram,  I've never been on a tram and wanted to experience it!

We did like the look of the vintage trams running along the sea front,  but my goodness there were expensive,  so we may do with taking photos of them.

We departed our tram at Pleasure beach,  just to have a look at it,  unfortunately you have to buy tickets to even enter Pleasure Beach which was a shame as we would have liked to have just taken a look - no rides for us this time!

Finally after walking along the pier,  My Girl wanted chips in Gravy not something you can find easily in the south of the country, but is everywhere 'up north'.  The chips were found and we sat on the sea front for My Girl to enjoy her lunch!

We did have a lovely day and I am so relieved that My Girl seems to be back to normal health and is recovering well from her operation.
