Blackpool Break

Well, up to yet, I have had a lovely break here at Blackpool.

I have come on the 5-day break with my Mam and stepdad, sister Jill, my nephew Roy and his partner Katie and their kids, my great niece and nephews, Kristian, Bethany and Joshua.

We came on Monday, my 45th birthday, and we go home on Friday. The weather today (Wednesday) is very sunny, but a bit breezy and that is keeping the temerature down a bit, but yesterday was a total rainy washout and Monday was very cold indeed.

I haven't been out anywhere much, apart from my birthday when we went to the family bar on the Central Pier pub, but yesterday we didn't go anywhere because of the weather. Today we have been to the South Pier end, in a taxi - too far to walk now - and done a bit of shopping before getting back, and my Mam falling arse-first backwards as she was getting into the taxi - it was very funny, but it also could have been quite dangerous as well, especially with my Mam having osteoporosis as well - it's a good job she fell backwards onto me, where I then fell forwards because she knocked me off my balance, and we counter-acted each others' fall.

All in all I am enjoying my little 5-day break and look forard to see what tomorrow brings - bring it on!
