Butlins Fun and Disco with Phil & Pat

With a huge hop, skip and a jump, we all met up bubbling with excitement and set off for our Butlins adventure! 
 
During our holiday we spent some fabulous and fanciful fun at the fair!  We all won some marvellous prizes, achieved by hooking ducks really rather well!   Some cracking coconut-shy shots were taken and we impressed our spectators who clapped and cheered!  Mini golf was a must and we spent time on the course perfecting our holes-in-ones. Well done all for spectacular efforts!
 
 
Some of us enjoyed a leisurely swim in the warm pool, whilst other braved the twirling flumes!  We enjoyed several delightful walks along the promenade - the beach was beautiful and offered us expansive views out across the bay.  We mustn't forget to mention the ice-cream or two that we devoured.....
 
 
We had a few go's on the penny machines and gathered up our tickets for prizes!  Air hockey was a favourite and the competition got stiff a few times - the team spirit was brilliant!
 
 
We were thoroughly entertained throughout the week - we saw The Drifters tribute band, Ray Lewis, Take That and many more!  We danced til our socks came off and impressed everyone with  our fancy moves!  What a 'helluva' holiday we had!

Cyprus Sun with Steve, Michaela & John

    Cyprus Sun     Our hotel was fantastic! We all loved relaxing around the swimming pool or down the beach which was only a few meters away. In the evening we all enjoyed dinner on the terrace with stunning views. We went on the original open top red bus tour to the Turkish side of the island. We had a tour guide giving us a commentary on board about the sights we saw and the history leading up to the Turkish invasion in 1974. We toured the walled city of Famagusta and saw the ghost town left unoccupied since the war.  We spent our evening in town exploring the buzzing streets and listened to live music in fantastic bars. We also took part in friendly pool tournament. We took a boat trip along the coast where we explored the caves of Cape Greco and visited the Blue Lagoon where some of us swam in the beautiful clear water.  The hotel entertainment team was fabulous!  There was musi...

Attractions of Blackpool with Matt & Jackie

Image
 Attractions of Blackpool  Oh we do love to be besides the seaside and we couldn't wait to head up the infamous Blackpool Tower. The views along the coastline were spectacular.  We managed to step onto the famous Ballroom floor and watched some of the dancers glide gracefully around the room.  It was time to get up close and personal with all of our favourite celebs at Madame Tussauds. We couldn't believe how much they lifelike they were! There were Coronation Street legends and some pretty iconic pop stars for us meet. Next up was some of our sporting heroes. We couldn't resist a picture with Boris and of course King Charles. Our next stop was the Blackpool Dungeons! From the moment we entered we were greeted by the "Black Jester” and we could tell this place was not for the faint hearted. The characters and scenarios played out by the excellent actors were a reflection of Britain's brutal and often savage history. The final room had us all terrified as we...
