Today was another travel day. We left Liverpool in a hire car (people mover) and ended up in Blackpool. Along the way we stopped for lunch at a great little pub called the Pig and Whistle, in Preston.
It is clear that Blackpool is very much a Summer tourist town. Many of the businesses that we saw along the seafront today are closed for the Winter. I would love to be here in the Summer to see this place thronging with people and sounds and lights and, let's be honest, some warmth. We did have some fun at a place called Coral Island, which is a very large amusement arcade/casino, and had drinks at a Wetherspoon, which was on my to-do list.
Yesterday I said that we would be heading to Scotland today, but I was mistaken. Tomorrow we shall venture North to search for that mystical land that the inhabitants call Scotland.
Wish you were here.
