7 of us caught a train to the seaside town of Blackpool on friday night. We chose Blackpool for many reasons, but the main reason (apart from my birthday) was to see the famous Illuminations - where the 4 mile Promenade is lit up at night with millions of lights. So Lorn, when your parents used to say the house was lit up like the Illuminations - you must have had every available light on! We arrived just before midnight and the sight was amazing. I was like a kid oohing and aahing.
If you ever go to Blackpool, stay at the Bracondale B&B. I can't recommend it enough... On saturday after a delicious full English breakfast, we went down to Pleasure Beach which is like a huge amus
ement park. They had 4 massive roller coasters - none of which I was game enough to go on - but apparently the view from The Big One was awesome.

I got some pics of the illumination lights, they were just as pretty during the day, as at night. Dinner was another fancy affair - at a restaurant we found out later was one of the first to appear on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare's show a few years ago.
On sunday we took a tram (double decker!) down to the shops, where we split up - and my 16 chins and I went to a Dr Who museum!! It had original props, sets, costumes and creatures from the 60's to the current series - even a machine you could talk into to sound like a Darlek! Exterminate! Mike almost bought me a life sized cardboard cut out of David Tennant, cos he wanted to see me take it home on the tube..!! (I would have done it!!!)

Hey Neen your photos look amazing and why does it not surprise me that you would take a cardboard cut out of a man on The Tube!!
You still look like you are having the bestest time :-)
Can we get some detail on the full English breakfast? It sounds delish!
