Here's the lifeboat at the ready.
One has to do a bit of beach combing when at the seaside.
No smiley stones here.

Once back we just had to go to the Tower Ballroom to watch the dancing.
I've reloaded yesterday's video and it seems to be working again.
I love seeing your photos of Blackpool and the places nearby, they bring back memories of family holidays in the 1970's. It looks to have changed so much, we really should go back for a visit.
ReplyDeleteA lovely day out. I haven't been on a tram for years and yours look lovely.

I was so exited to see Fleetwood! we went there when we were over as Aunty Jean took us to see the town.It was a lovely day,we went into a store that had lovely clothing as my friend needed a wedding outfit,there was a bomb scare!!!we were all shuttled out the front..this was 10 years ago but I remembered all about it as soon as I saw "Fleetwood" funny how the memories are stored and forgotten until something triggers it off.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a grand day out!

ReplyDeleteVery smart new trams!
