Wirral to Blackpool, UK: 8th April 10





Today we drove the hour and a half to Blackpool to join Colette and her 3 kids Stasia (10), Soraya (6) and Gigi (2) at the haven holidays caravan park where they’re spending a few days as it’s the Easter holidays.




The whole family came, Dad, Mum, Richard, Nicky, Mimi, Matt and I. We had lunch of Mum’s famous green pea soup with sausages and then went for a game of mini golf – the kids loved it, although Gigi and Mimi thought picking up the balls and putting them in the holes meant that they won – little cheats!





After the golf Dad and Richard left and Nicky went for a kip, the rest of us went to play on the arcade games and rides, and then hired bikes to cycle around – 2 adults per bike and 2 little ones on front – much fun!






That was followed by swimming and bingo, which was great, if slightly stressful – they read those numbers out way too quickly for me! Stasia very kindly spent some of her pocket money on a toy ‘Super Bradley Bear’ for Matt and I and then the girls got their photos taken with Rory Tiger!



After that Mum, Nicky and Mimi headed back to Bromborough. Matt and I are staying in the caravan for the night – it’s a bit cramped so Gigi is staying in the perfect toddler sized bedroom, known more commonly as the wardrobe!

We had fish and chips followed by a puppet show by Soraya, using some knitted finger puppets of condors and llamas that Matt and I had brought back from Peru. Soraya wanted us all to concentrate but when we got a bit excited she popped up from under the table and shouted ‘Just Calm Down Everyone!’ A true Scouser…

Colly and I finished the night by tormenting Matt with her Hello Dolly DVD!
