London the last days before we return to Blackpool
today we visited Ripleys believe it or not. Very strange oddities abound ie 2 headed sheep,people pulling tractors with eyelids,that sort of stuff !!!! I was particularly interested in grave yard oddities When i was a wrought iron welder a lot of years ago I made railings to go around the tombstones in the Blackpool showing of Ripleys.The evening ended by a visit to the Billy Elliot show.it was brilliant!! the kids were marvellous.scenery terrific & the music ( written by (Elton) was just perfect !! another brill day with just 1 more to go before we return to Blackpool for the festive season thats IF the snow lets up and we dont get snowbound !!!
More London Fun
Off to the Movie site today situated next to the London Eye.There was lots of film memorabilia .Loved the actual gong that was used in the original J Arthur Rank pictures ( I’m sure a lot of you remember J Arthur? as in “dont be rude !!” ) Some of the artefacts are from yesteryear films I was particularly interested in the original Clash of the Titans & the creatures that featured in the film The memories came flooding back. To my child hood Saturday mornings at the Odeon Who can remember the Odeon song “we come along on Saturday Morning etc ” Superman with his knickers on the outside and MY fav Capt Marvel shouting SHAZAM ! to change from mere mortal to a super human ………..ahhh the innocent days when we as kids were indestructible
