Getting near the end of my week off and we have come to Blackpool for 2 days. Set off at 07:00 this morning and got into Blackpool for just after 9:10, not a bad drive, we went a completely different way but as it was almost all motorway travel it was an easier drive, but…
I’m sat at my desk looking out my front room window at the green, I have the Social Network playing on the tv. The family are all out apart form my son and his girlfriend in his room. My life is so exciting, I might have to get back to the short story I have…
