Wilma does Blackpool

  1. Thanks to a lovely bunch of people for making Wilma's birthday wonderful!

    We stayed at a camp site in (and I'm quoting the owner) "in one of the Fylde villages", not Weeton and definitely not Blackpool ::) ;D

    There was a million and one rules C:)

    and the owner made sure we were all "camped together" (about as far as you can get pitches away from each other, and god help the two caravans in between ;D) and apart from the clay pigeon shoot and the mechanical bird scarer; it was lovely ;D

    There was a brave little group on the Friday night and about two ton of curry (and thanks to Mr 'I like it hot' Moosey, Tiny Pie (and boyfried Paul), Dubweisers and us, we had enough curry to feed the entire campsite - tlb curry club here we come!)

    It was freezing, literally, but thanks to Tiny Pie we had the gazebo to keep off the worse of the weather. No bbq/firepits but I think it may have been too cold for a fire, it was even colder than Spring Camp :shiver:

    It was beautiful the next day, sunny, crisp and after a very leisurely loungy morning sitting the sun we headed for Lytham St Annes to the beach

    and had our own little line up

    the Yips found us by coincidence and joined in the fun

    The Yip's Alex is a birthday boy too, it was great to see him there

    We got ready for Blackpool lights, decorated the vans and after a bit of Jive rescuing we set off to meet everyone else.

    A big thanks to Wonty for sussing out the meeting place, we had a chance to get warm in the Morrison's cafe (living the dream!) before setting off

  3. The worlds slowest tour of the lights saw a few causalities down to exhaustion and cold, wet weather but the Blackpool 5 soldiered on

  4. Well what a lovely first meet i had... there were fairy lights, bubbly, curry, halloween decorations, arctic weather, sunshine, and downpours...but what stood out for me was how welcoming and lovely EVERYONE was... such a mix of people yet it just works... I LOVED IT... and can't wait for the next 1 (if you'll have me back) hehe

    We arrived later than originally expected on Friday, but when we eventually arrived i was welcomed with cuddles and smiles... it was so lovely finally putting faces to names on here!!

    The first night was chilled out and as has already been said was absolutely freeeeezing... i won't repeat what's already been said and only got a few pics but i'll share anyway :)

    Line up by the beach (all in age order just my number plate spoils it :S )

  6. Have to agree with tiny-pie what a warm welcoming to our first meet up too!

    Both Mrs Wonty and I can't wait for the next one and we will be there! Had a great time - again apols for bailing early especially when we were on the doorstep so to speak but had to be out early this morning.

    So thank you for inviting us and welcoming us into the family. What a family.

    Also as a side note wilma was still looking awesome on her way home! I was on a run between southport and ormakirk hospital when you whizzed around in front of me! Made me smile in all that rain :)
