Blackpool Illuminations

 I've been meaning to visit Blackpool again for several years now! We went once when we were children; All I can remember was a very long, but colourful walk down the promenade, with magical  trams going past every so often....

So, when my sister came up to visit, of course we had to have a trip down memory lane.... I wasn't sure exactly what to expect going back as an adult but we couldn't have chosen a lovelier night to visit. The sky was lit up in every shade of pastel you can imagine and there were lots of little flocks of starlings settling in for the night. It was mesmerizing watching their murmurations across the sky and then the flitting of fish in the puddles! 

 

As it got darker, the Blackpool I'd heard so much about, finally started to appear- sparkle by sparkle... We soon found a little Blackpool Rock shop and stocked up for the night before strolling along the promenade.

Our legs did a lot of walking! We might have stopped for a cheeky pint and hot chips somewhere along the way to console Sam haha - although I'm sure he secretly almost had as much fun as we did. Sometimes you just gotta accept your inner sparkle 😊✨
