Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

We spent an afternoon cycling along the Lytham seafront last year and it stuck in my mind, it was so lovely.  A really quaint little town, I convinced GO that we should spend the day there exploring before heading to Blackpool for the Illuminations.  

We went for a wandered along the seafront before heading into town for a spot of lunch, you can’t beat chips and gravy.  We didn’t have any change so it was a portion between two.  Which was actually just enough.

Birthday Glam

For my birthday this year GO took me to Bertram’s a five star restaurant in Burnley.  It’s is part of the Woodland Spa resort and over looks the lovely rolling penine hills.  We were very lucky to get a booking as we had left it  the last minute (shock, horror) and it is very popular. Our only option was the early bird slot, which actually turns out to be a gray slot. The staff weren’t run off their feet, they had stone for all the guests and we saw a glorious sunset out of the huge picture windows.  The food was Devine, superb portion sizes, we will definitely be back, maybe for New Year?

Bring it on again

Here we go again, life zooms last when it’s made up of school terms.

It’s my birthday and I’ll cry if I want to

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday Lilbro

As a special treat for Lilbro’s birthday we went to watch his favourite football team.  I recorded a lot of the goals but would get so involved watching them I kept forgetting to press record.  I did manage to catch the announcement of a new player which was a surprise for everyone.  I managed to keep lilbro updated by text and nearly died when I told him that player ten had been injured and taken off.  It took me longer than I care to admit before I realised that they were wearing number ten, as that was the name of their sponsor.

La Luna

I knew as I walked out of the cinema in January that I had watched something amazing, something very special and when I saw an advert for an outdoor screening I couldn’t resist booking it.  I went the whole hog, full VIP, it was also being screened at my most favourite place in the UK, Waddeson manor.  We had a glorious summer, a heatwave like no other, there were droughts up and down the country, yet on that day it rained.  It rained so hard. It couldn’t have been any wetter but I loved it.
