As per tradition, it is only right that there should be an annual trip to the Blackpool Illuminations. With this in mind, we took our lovely residents on a nostalgic minibus trip to the fun capital of the North. After a whistle-stop tour of Blackpool followed by a lovely, blustery stroll down the promenade, we headed to Bispham Kitchens for a fish and chip supper followed by a leisurely drive through over a million lights. Along the way we reminisced about family day trips, recited ‘Albert and the Lion’, ate hot doughnuts and revelled in a camaraderie that united us.
