I don't know what BP is like at the end of the day because we are usually done in and flopped in our comfy chairs, feet up, tucking in to our fuddles by then. The main area has such a lot of entertainment and lots of people go there just for that, as we have done ourselves in the past, but we are out too much in the day to face the nightlife anymore. During the day just out of season it is great, so much improvement has been carried out over the last few years. The Prom is so clean, the sand is so clean and even the sea looks clean. The view for as far as you can see each way is pure golden sand. Lovely. A bit different to the 1980/90s when we used to visit. I won't describe some of the disgusting stuff floating in the sea, and on the sands in those days. Who ever has had the improvements done, should be very proud. We cycle from Lytham along the road and then get onto the prom where it begins, giving us a clear ride for three miles to the Tower, very pleasant. Can't wait for September, going to do the same again at Skeggy.
Just read your post catfan, and I agree about the beggers. We were asked for money three times in about twenty minutes one day. Back in Lytham one day, inside Tesco Express, we were actually asked if we had a spare pound, the young man had his arms full of Lager and wine. He said it was for his friends and they hadn't given him enough money. I wont tell you what I said to him!

Glad you had a good time at Blackpool catfan. We are still here at Lytham St Annes until tomorrow. We have had a really great two weeks, a very quiet holiday, just what we needed. Fabulous sunshine every day until today, and it has rained most of the day, but that is not a problem, it makes it easier to accept the holiday is over. We like to have the two weeks running up to the bank holiday every year, everything is up and running but not too hectic. We were probably out on the cycles the day you went to St Annes, we cycled every day. Definitely need to go home now for a rest.

Had another smashing day here in Lytham St Annes. The weather couldn't be better, but today we have been like two 70odd year olds instead of youngs. We have cycled 113miles over the last 8 days, not a lot to some people, but to us rather plump, foodies, it has taken its toll. No cycling today, we decided to take it easy, wish we could say the same about the munching. The weather looks good for tomorrow, so we will probably be out early in the morning, I feel a 20miler coming on.

To you all who are not fans of Blackpool, believe it or not I am with you. I wouldn't stay a night in Blackpool if it was offered free. I can't take the noise anymore! In years gone by we have had some great times, lots of laughs and happy memories made there, but that was when we wanted the nightlife. Shows, Dancing, Singing, Laughing, and meeting people. These days all we want is the quiet life. I can't drink Alcohol anymore because of health issues and medication, so late nights out don't hold much interest for us anymore.now, I realise that most people under the influence of too much booze aren't much fun, they just think they are.
For a lovely, peaceful, slightly upmarket place, just travel five miles past BP to Lytham St Annes (where we stay) or approx nine miles to Lytham which is even nicer. We choose this part of the coast as the terrain is very flat and we love to cycle. Catfan, I'm not sure what you will think of BP these days.Most of what you hear about the place, seems about right. Go with an open mind. I sincerely hope you both have a good time,

Bostin' bit of sunshine here in Lytham St Annes. Shorts weather as hubbs puts it. Just off for a car ride now to Freeport shopping outlets at Fleetwood. I feel a serious spend coming on at the Sketchers outlet, then a little rest for an hour before it's cycles out for our daily peddle to Blackpool. We can only stand the Razzmatazz for about an hour, so we don't stay long. Just long enough for an Icecream. Must fly.......fun to be had.

Well Carni, it takes a special kind of linguistic talent to learn French from an Italian song!
Tricked Yer. Wondered if anyone would notice. Honestly.

I really loved that song. I learnt to speak 'Proper French ', Gedling style of course from listening very carefully.
All together now.......No Noyleh Tar?
Dunt sound right does it.
Only jesting. As with so many songs with foreign lyrics, I found a way of singing along.
Elvis Presley singing Wooden Heart was another one, .......
Lucy Den Lucy Den, Oowoo Shtate a lady now, Shtate a lady now, Ooh Doo my stut bline stin. I learnt 'Proper Gedling German' from that one.
Don't get me started on Charles Aznavour, Swoon.
Anyway, we are here in sunny Lytham St Annes, just starting our second day of a two week holiday. Sun Shining, already sampled the fish and chips yesterday so not sure what delights today holds for us. The cycles are awaiting as I type. Mustn't keep hubbs waiting, he has his foot on the peddle as we speak. Bye for now NS buddies.

I managed to get this screen print today, as you can see there is now only two eggs left. Sadly I have just read on the NTU Falcon website that they expect there to be no chance of chicks this year. So sadly this is probably my last picture this year.........But you never know, miracles can happen.

We picked our son and partner up at 8.30am this morning and headed for Chasewater, which is a very short drive from home. When we got there just after 9.15am it wasn't too busy and already very warm. The youngies walked around the lake while us oldies sampled the delights of the cafe in the disused railway station. A very nice destination for anyone looking for a day out. All the usual attraction plus speed boat rides, chuffa train rides,cycle hire?, small fair rides plus areas for food and icecream. A lovely couple of hours spent there.
From there it got very busy everywhere. We drove to Stourport, Bewdley, Bridgnorth, dropping the youngies off at Bewdley, so they could walk the 4miles (approx) along the Severn to Stourport and we would be there to pick them up!!!! Wrong, after dropping them off, we tried to park at Bewdley for a walk round the stalls that were there for the holiday, but no chance of parking, so we drove to Stourport to await our phone call, couldn't even get into the place. At that, we got a phone call from son, saying they couldn't walk by the river any more and the road was to dangerous to walk. The last time we did that walk was nearly 30yrs ago and all the little bushes are now full grown trees making parts of the walk almost impassable, so off we went to find them. Picked them up and headed for Bridgnorth. No chance of parking so Chris hovered in the car while we popped in the F.C shop and pulled up out of the town to eat them.
So all in all it was a very hit and miss day, but always nice to get together with sonny boy, besides, he paid for the F/C.

We never saw the first series, so I look forward one day to catching up on it. We used to go to Butlins quite a lot in the 70/80s and some of the episodes of BD really remind me of those crazy days and nights. We met a few people on those holidays that could have fit in with the BD cast easily. You can always give the real Benedorm a whirl benj, pretty sure you would soon have a few tales to tell.

..anyone else admit to enjoying it ?
I love Benidorm. Did you say it's the last one tomorrow night. Shame, I love daft, and you can't get much dafter than BD. My favourite characters are, Kenneth, Joyce Temple Savage, (The late Donald) and Jacqueline, Geoff Maltby, played by Johnny Vegas and my all time favourite is his mum Noreen Maltby played by the lovely Elsie Kelly, but in reality I think most of them are great.

We had in the past three Irish Red Setters. The one died at about eighteen months with Gastro Enteritis?, The vet did an autopsy, he suspected some kind of poisoning. Long story, so I will leave it there. That one really broke my heart.The other two lived full happy lives, though not particularly long ones. the one had various illnesses through her life and eventually succumbed to one of them at 11 yrs. The really sad ending was that the other one must have been so sad that she went into a coma and died ten days later. We couldn't take the heart ache again so never had anymore.

The first saying I remember well and would never mix those colours because of it. BUT. I like the idea best that Gem recalled. I have a plain light weight round necked emerald green jumper, and an azure blue silk scarf with pink roses, flashes of cream and green leaves that compliment the jumper. As I have got older, things like this don't bother me at all and I wouldn't be a slave to someone elses colour matches anymore. I wore these colours for my birthday yesterday and thought they looked lovely together.

Yes nonnaB, it has happened to some of my pictures on the Falcon thread, just as you described, a code and small square though the photo that I added yesterday seems ok so far.

I posted a picture onto the 'Nottingham Falcons' thread earlier today and there was no sign of a warning message. I have just clicked into 'Postimage' again to check and there is no message again. I feel concerned about this. Does anyone have any information on how to check the safety of 'Postimage' and have I compromised my Laptop by adding a picture earlier?

Thank you for your reply NBL. I know I'm not the only one it has happened to now.

This is my first photo for three weeks. I seem to have been just missing the change overs. As you can see there are three eggs still, so it shouldn't be long now before the first one hatches.Could be any day now.
My photos of the peregrines previous to this one seen to have gone.No idea why. Any ideas please.

Right LL. How did you guess?
We are back home now, on the way for 6.30am, home by 9.15am, just one stop for a sandwich. Not one cream cake has passed my lips today.........but there is time.
