At the station this morning i saw a train depart for Blackpool and it brought back so many memories. One of Mum's favourite places to holiday. She adored the illuminations and the Log flume.

One particular memory though was of us walking through the "Pasaje del Terror" on the Pleasure Beach. Jason Julie and I (all adults at this time) screaming hysterically everytime an actor jumped out to scare us and mum bringing up the rear, cackling equally hysterically but with laughter as us being so ridiculous.

That wicked sense of humour will be so missed x
