Setting up was much easier this time, approx 15mins. Everything is where you need it :o).
Not much time for Photography or Bird Watching, good job as I forgot my camera bag and scope, maybe next time.
Time spent sat enjoying the sunshine, reading, watching the football (forget that Semi final :o(() and eating - Full English on Sunday morning was easy to cook on the stove - team work. Oh and we did some visiting as well, we went to Broadwater Park to see Harry's new van - very posh.
Blue Belle Cottage is a great site and we had a very friendly welcome from Mark who was also extremely helpful when we arrived, assisting to site the Pod. We had a heated shower room, admittedly during set times but these were long enough so everyone could use the showers and some where to wash your pots undercover and warm. The site is very quiet and is visited by regulars, everyone was very friendly. A couple of ducks kept us company all weekend. In the village is a great chippy and a lovely bakery. We went to the chippy Sunday evening with Uncle Harry, Uncle Brian and Aunty Caz and had a brilliant fill of Fish Chips and Mushy Peas (now open Sundays until 7.30pm), well worth a visit even if staying in Fleetwood.
We will be visiting again in the summer, if we can get on.....
Knott End has a special landmark down by the ferry LS Lowry statue, telling us of his vantage point from the slipway where he sketched and painted. The painting below is the arrival of the ferry.
The statue.
Thanks to Mark and Sharon (Site Owners) for a wonderful trip.
Now to plan our May trip.
