Beside the Seaside- Beside the Sea

Hello, we just got back from Blackpool after another fishing trip. This time a nice easy drive for me for a change. It was a lovely little CL site affiliated to the Caravan Club and called "Serendipity" or "Happy Accident" The mates caught plenty of fish in the big lake which is attached to the caravan site, and is for Members only. We are deffo going back there soon. One of the days i took a drive up to Fleetwood, via Cleveleys. The seafront at Cleveleys has been all done up and looks really nice now. Fleetwood market was really busy, but i dont care for the Freeport Shopping Complex. Blackpool itself is undergoing lots of refurbishment. The prom is having a new seawall and the illuminations are almost ready for the switch on which is only a few weeks off now, i wonder what happened to the summer? The front of the tower looks a mess, but it was being worked upon so i expect next time i see it, it will look much nicer than before.

I have included a picture of Andrew who caught an enormous fish!

it's been a while

It seems ages since i wrote anything on here, we have been out and about and generally being busy. We recently went to Scarborough in North Yorkshire, although i always call it East Yorkshire it being right on the coast. It was so hot on the day we travelled. The temperature went from like 15C to 32 C in one day, and it really tired me out. When we arrived all i could do was have a sit down! Good job i had Andrew and Paul with me!

They went fishing, fishing, fishing! both in the sea and ponds, and we all had a thorough good time. i will post a couple of photos for you all to see.

We are off again!

At last we ventured out in the caravan, the first time in 2011. We went to Lady Margaret's, in Chirk, Wales. It was a lovely site surrouded by trees. The Wardens were very friendly, and we were surprised that it was almost half full in the middle of February, with the temperatures around 6c during the day and just below freezing at night. Once again the heating in the caravan didnt let us down, once it had heated up it was lovely, despite the smokers keep opening the doors to go outside for a fag!.

not far away in fact very close to the site is a Cadburys factory, but you wouldnt guess it was there. We had a ride to Oswestry and found a lovely fish n chip shop, it wasnt too expensive either. On the second day Paul and Dale went fishing to the canal which is about 7 minutes walk away. We struggled to get any telly reception on the second night but on the first night it was brilliant, so i dont know what went wrong there.

We are hoping to go away once a month now, and hopefully it will get a little warmer soon. Oh forgot to mention the fresh cream eclair that i had ! mmmmm
