Illuminations
Illuminations
This lockdown malarkey is starting to get us all down now and although the kids have been fantastic throughout, we need cheering up and Rachel has just the thing. She’s found a nut-save chippy not far from Blackpool Prom and as the illuminations have been extended to help bring in some much needed revenue to the area, we get in the car and head out.
The chippy has agreed to making Adam’s chips separately from everything else to ensure they’re nut-free and although it takes a bit longer than usual, he’s absolutely made-up. We park up on the prom and he’s chomping through his food as we watch the sun go down over the Irish Sea, before having a socially distanced walk along the promenade.
The lights these days seem to be a lot more commercial than I remember as a kid and I was hoping to see some of the old characters and less LEDs but the kids love it and once my eyes have adjusted from the bright light, we head home full of smiles and sea-air.
