Life Really does go ON
Its been a few weeks since I moved back to Blackpool and I am finding it surprisingly easy to slot back in. I have found a local pub and made great friends,the flat I have moved into is well placed and the only problem being it is on level 2 with NO lift. People have been great with furniture removing and the neighbour below has been a gem !One end of my street is the Blackpool Promenade/Beach and every time I go there memories of my well mis spent youth come flooding back,at the other end of my street is the magnificent water tower ( I have worked inside this building and the echo is fabulous ! especially songs like The Lion Sleeps Tonight and yes I did !) Hervey Bay is a lovely spot but after being here a while I do not miss it but i did make some great people there and some not so great.I am currently canvassing for a couple of volunteer jobs and will elaborate more on them if successful .Medically I am being well looked after and I do a lot of “FREE” bus travelling.I have lots of family here and its fantastic I can drop ( or they here) in and see them at any time.My sister in law does a family gathering HUGE Breakfast on Sunday mornings where we all gather to catch up on Gossip!! Nephew has a pub in Preston that we visit frequently and it is reminiscent of pubs of days gone by,PLUS the entertainment is great,even met up with Elvis last week.Christmas this year will be a very special one as my Perth Australian daughter will visit Blackpool with her lovely family.Roll On !! My furniture is mainly second hand BUT my bed is new,later next month,hopefully,my Australian stuff should arrive.All in All I,m very happy,could have been happier but time to move on Merry Christmas !!!!!
Still ont Tram
Still travelling towards my drop of point and we are now passing the Colonades on my left and they are magnificent .They exist a level below the tram tracks and a level above the beach line,and are enclosed area,s with an open view (some had glass enclosure but vandals have destroyed them) I have had some good times in them during the winter months when we played there and where I got to know the first love f my life.Moving on towards Uncle Toms Cabin which is at the top of my new home street we pass the cliffs and the very grassy slopes again a playground of my youth and spent many an hour there learning climbing skills on the man made rocky structure. Going thru town earlier I see lots of Vapour shops and have NO idea what they are (first thought was a legal drug store) apparently they are substitutes for cigarettes but when exhaled they give off HUGE clouds of smoke !! and people smoke them in pubs altho the norm seems to be smoked outside.Darren took me to see The Mummy in glorious 3 D.Once I have settled in and found my niche I will do a full photo blog on all I have attempted to explain…….
