The Journey (the 5th in the Traveller Diaries)

The journey started in 68

Like the hypnotic humming of a bird

Even back then I was always late

To be early would be absurd

We start our unknown journey

With no destination sight

With hopes to become attorney?

And the power it gives to take flight?

LUTT

My train keeps on going

There is still fuel in the tank

A year older means more puffing and blowing

Mouth wide open, expression almost blank

I continue to perform the ‘Swan’

Cool and calm is the top line view

Inside pistons fire like a mad man

You never want to reveal the real you

Another year is added to my number

Its birthday time on the horizon again

Yester year I had time to slumber

But now, it’s a huge thank you to all my friends

The hope is to keep life simple

Drive your journey your way

Stay as cute as a dimple

Retain your essence – afterall its your brithday! (it’s mine actually)

 

Pirates Menu

Leave a reply

 

For all the children and adults alike with a fascination for Pirates, this is something I came across when researching what Pirates do when they think about food. I can’t prove it but this is what I think they do???… Read for yourself, it won’t take long, think of it as reading, the words to a song..(the utter randomness of words)

 

PIRATE MENU MADNESS…
Patch of a pirate, the pirate wears a patch
Snatch like you grab, grab like you snatch
Matches that light,light those matches
To catch a fish, a fish catches
A batch of bones,bones in a batch
Hatch that plan, plan not to fall down that hatch
Latch that door, the door has a latch
Attach those braids, braids need to be attached
Stash that gold, the gold must be stashed
Bash that steak, the steak must be bashed
Flash that lash, the eyelash must be flashed
Slash that sword, the sword makes a slash
Mash that potato, make potato mash
Add corned beef, to make corned beef hash
Use corned beef hash, to get rid of that rash
Get rid of the rash, but then you grow a tash
This is a great menu for pirates on the seas
Will ensure success or bring you to your knees!
Any questions? Let me know  and I will do my best to answer them! (Captain Nelson!)

No Shower in the Tower

Our first family trip to Blackpool was a ‘roasting’ success,  with southern Spain style temperatures being delivered over our weekend. The amazing circus display was simply magnificent.  The sealife centre, thrilling, educational,  interesting and exciting for parents and our two children alike. The walks along tbe south pier until gone 1030pm, summed up how holidaying on the uk coast can be enjoyed,  particularly with near 30 degree heat!

Our hotel, smart, friendly,  helpful and family orientated with a touch of class and great food, all within a stones throw of the tram and bus service that ran along the Promenade. Directly behind our hotel stood the Pleasure Beach. This, a mammoth selection of roller coaster rides for the brave and some others for the less thrill seeking, chilled  riders and of course rides for children. Our two loved the car rides, the train that took us throughout the pleasure beach (a good distance I might add) as the area was huge to cover on foot.

All in all a surprising,  entertaining,  well stocked 3 day break, with superb weather,  activities for all, lovely hotel (with great family rooms too for your children and adults,  plenty of space for 4 separate area for kids bunk beds). Would we go again? Our children replied by saying they want 4 days next time! Well entertainment is guaranteed,  weather,  well someone else has that power I’m afraid….so in poetic homage to our weekend away here is a little ditty.

Brilliant sunshine won the day

Lazing about with my family,  what more can I say

An amazing time was had by all

Circus stupendous we certainly had a ball

Kicking our heels we weren’t for sure

Pleasure beach in the sun- could we ask for more?

Organised views with so much to see

Oh how we were tempted, oh how we were teased

Leaving ‘the pool’ our children wanted to stay

They loved every minute, of every single day

Only the call of those darn 2p machines

Would allow us to bribe them, to eat up their greens!

Evening would come and we’d be ready for bed

Remembering a fun filled enjoyable time – enough said!
