Working on things

It's a cooler and wet week this week than a fortnight ago but that warm period coincided with a good deal more dressy presentation but that often brings other things to the fore like just how gurlish are you and maybe I do need to work on some aspect although my walking isn't good for disability related reasons.

Often we do wish for  a sister to really work with us on various things so it does become more second nature.

A room like this is what a Little Gurl Tammy really needs free of anything ikky male that become an oasis of gurlhood.

Is that too much to ask for?

Day trip to Blackpool

Well I'll start this blog entry with saying as I continue to explore some of the problematic aspects of my childhood we'll continue with everyday stuff too.

Okay guess where in the UK this might be seen? You see I went off on another little adventure to a place you might have childhood memories of  and is surrounded by fun things you might want to do.

This place has trams a plenty running up and down some like these are modern ones but at weekends and high season the old types are run.

Okay that place is Blackpool, Lancashire, North west England, a place that is  unapologetically loud and I travelled on as coach using the Motorway network although we as a bit naughty and used the slip road but a few miles from my main road to join it!

Being very near the entry point to one of the principal motorways has its advantages.

Like a number of UK resorts it's has a pier that jets out into the sea with various attractions including amusement arcades on them. This one had a Victorian Photography booth where you can wear and be photographed in period attire.

 You can see just how far out it goes! It's as well there were things undercover as it rained hard for a period in the afternoon. I went to Harry Ramsden's for lunch where the service was exemplary and the Plaice lovely and moist.

One prominent landmark is the Big Wheel although going on that is out of bounds for me as I'd lose my head if I went on on it.

That's the big Tower which is being restored near the Sealife Centre, Dungeons  and the waxworks museum. I spent quite a bit of time in Toymaster looking at the dolls, train sets, colouring books, sylvarian families toys and that. I'm sure the assistant clocked me!

In the foreground is one of the illuminations that was one of the main reason for going as these lights have partially renewed allowing for more fantastic effects. There were fairies, teddybears, diamonds and at a Quarter past six, we assembled to go through them all illuminated at Seven PM. It was beautiful.

By Eight-thirty, I was back home for a light snack before putting my jim jams on  as this little gurl was dead tired and needed hur sleep.

Revisiting a childhood holiday haunt helped me get back in touch with myself and what it meant to be a young child.
