Blackpool

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to.....Blackpool!!!!

Chrissie and I went on a jolly jaunt today, the sun was shining and the sky was azure blue. Chrissie wears a step counting bracelet and we have walked over 25,000 steps today...no wonder I am absolutely shattered. It is wonderful to have a blast by the sea. We walked up and down the three piers and were buffeted by the wind and it was so invigorating.

We decided to go up the tower and do the full shebang. The ballroom was absolutely packed with people having afternoon tea and dancing to the Wurlitzer man. It was brilliant watching them cha cha cha and foxtrot round the floor. There was a mix of dancing garb, mind you...one man looked very dapper in his shiny spats, there was Mrs Mutton dressed as Lamb and the man in his turquoise shorts...to name a few.

We then went right to the top and did the walk of faith on the glass floor. It took us a few moments to pluck up the courage, but then there was no stopping us as we took pics of us lying on it. The view at the top was superb and we could almost see all the way home.

Chrissie had a major camera problem and fingers crossed it can be sorted...thank goodness for the iphone though. We took plenty of pics between us of everything. I lay on the beach to take this one just before a wave swooped in and demolished the sandcastles.

The diet went out of the window today as we had fish and chips and an ice cream today, but with all the walking I don't feel too bad about it.

I'm off to bed now so I will catch up with everyone tomorrow :)
