Weekend in Blackpool

We went to stay with our best friends this weekend in Blackpool. Had a fab weekend, lots of fun... in fact the fun started on the way there, we have only been to stay at our friends house a couple of times, so decided to use the Sat Nav on my phone for directions, got the addy from the address book and put it in the Sat Nav and away we go..... just coming off the motorway and the phone dies :( - we realise we have no addy, no idea of the town they live... nightmare - no problem tho as we can use DD phone.... get it out bag and ho hum its died as its been left on.... so what do we do.... no idea where we are going and no phone.... oh well.. we carry on our way thinking that we might recognise the place when we get closer, after nearly an hour of driving around we decide that we really dont know so had better get an action plan sorted..... we have packed the charger so need to find a socket to charge it, so drive to the train station, they always have plugs in the waiting rooms, dont they ???? NO not this one - we then stumble across the local leisure centre and the kind receptionist lets us plug the phone in and we manage to call friend to rescue us....... saved........................

Cant believe how PANTS the weather was this weekend.... it rained constantly on Saturday and eventually stopped at 5.30pm... so we went for a lovely walk by the river.


On Sunday we decided to go to the seafront...... and being usual Brits.... the kids wanted to paddle in the sea...... wind blowing, rain spitting, macs on and the kids went paddling... typical British summertime.... lol.... kids had a great time tho ;)
