Eddie and Anita: Blackpool and back (A)

We start our trip just down the road...There's someone special up north we need to see. I hope we find her....

Our 9.30am train to Glasgow.

Mmmmm, breakfast on the train. Dipping mini pancakes into syrup

Games and a fortune cookie from last night's Chinese take-out. Eddie's badge from last year's panto.


Lunch and a picture of the gingerbread house wall we were bringing for Gemma.


What's this?? Sun on my face!?

We arrived!


Walking through the streets of central Blackpool....Hey, who's this?!

Looking for Tinkerbell.....

The Grand Theatre....Maybe she's in here?

Finding Tinkerbell in the audience




















Our real Tinkerbell on the stage








If only I had thought to take pix of the lovely reunion of Gemm and Ed at the stage door after the show...Hugs and kisses all round!

Peter Pan doing puzzles on the train home, and playing on my Iphone on the final stretch home in the bus! Home by 9pm. A long day, but it was worth it!

That was great, Anita. You must have been so tired. How amazing a nannie is that!! Eddie looks very suave as Peter Pan. Much love
