Default TQ's holiday

why are you breaking up a week before I do, when you had your last holiday a week later than I did.


(expect you will go back a week before I do, I don't go back until about 15th April - almost summer than, and all holls if you work in a school)

Ahhh!!!! Kevin and I got engaged at the end of Blackpool Pier - it would have been the Tower except it was out of season. I love the market over there - and the people, they are so relaxed and laid back.

About those deep fried Mars bars - we tried doing those when we had the chippy - they totally ruined our dripping because the first few exploded. (Fish & chip shops use dripping up North, oil down South! Can't tell you how much nicer the fish & chips tastes up here!) We tried doing deep fried icecream as well.... not to be recommended - but the kids loved it. !

I've never been to Blackpool 'in season' - we usually go for a day in early December and last week in March (to celebrate when we got engaged) - but we can't go this year. Boo Hoo!!!

We always TRY and get there during the lights - but somehow we have never managed it yet - always just a bit too early.
