Days out (Family)
Going to Chester Zoo tomorrow. Taking my sons to check out the Lamas, then may be on to Blackpool Illuminations. If I see one of those Little Chef that Heston Blumenthalls food on sale we might stop and check it out.
Any body else doing family stuff in half term?

Went to the sandcastle tuesday , not bad but they let way too many people in , by dinner time (thats about 12 up here) you could hardly move and they decided to cut the red bands off everyone that rode the master blaster so you could only have one go because it was so crowded. The pool was swarming.
Shame cos ive been before on non school days and its nice when it just about half full.
Though I stayed well clear of the tourists and the Golden Mile and Pleasure Beach, mostly!
Actually, there is a really good trick you can pull on the Pleasure Beach - if the loop-the-loop coaster ride is still there (the one where there is a pathway directly underneath the loop).
People tend to gather under it and see all the screaming people on the ride turn upside down. You stand slightly away from them, and at the 'right time' (just after the riders have passed the central point), you chuck a load of small coins at the feet of the crowd and watch their reaction!
me and my mates used to do that with handfulls of pennies at the Hoppins when we were younger. Should've seen all the trampy fuckers eyes light up thinking it was pund coins!
