| We got away for a few days last Monday--back to one of our most favourite places--Blackpool.. As always we had a brilliant deal off Wowcher and stayed at the www.brionihotelblackpool.co.uk for the 3 nights-just £75 for the two of us B+B . Lovely hotel--further North than we usually stay, but spotless clean, great food and hosts. |
 |
| Lovely view from our room, and we were treated to a beautiful sunset for 2 of the evenings! |
 |
| I always check out Trip Adviser before booking rooms or food when we are away--and had found this very close to the hotel £9.95 for 4 courses -you cant go wrong ! http://www.curryqueenindian.com/ |
 |
| Just could not fault the food at all..plenty of it and so tasty. I had the mixed starter--and it was huge--had no chance of eating it all ! We missed out the soup course as well! The staff were lovely, and very helpful..one even showed me how to fold the fancy napkins on the table..not sure I would remember how to do it now mind! |
 |
| We are not very adventurous when it comes to Indian food though, opting for chicken tikka or chicken balti.. |
 |
| the pilau rice was beautiful and not bright yellow as it usually is.. |
 |
| chicken balti... huge chunks of chicken in it.. I only managed to eat about half of my meal..and didn't want any breakfast the net morning as I still felt full! |
 |
| We went for a drive around the area and found the John Ditchfield Glassform studios www.glasform.com |
 |
| Some amazing pieces of glass on display--and we were able to watch some glass being blown too.. |
 |
| There are loads of glass sculptures all around the place, in the field outside and in the huge studio/workshop. |
 |
| Love this-Olympic torch!! |
 |
| Beautiful sunset again on the Wednesday night--watched it for ages while getting ready to go and see our favourite show of all The Funny Girls...Another bargain off Groupon--2 tickets to see The Funny Girls along with a 2 course meal with a glass of bubbly for just £27 |
 |
| the food was lovely--pate ,toast and salad for starters |
 |
| a glass of wine or three in between... |
 |
| Then a lamb shank in red wine and rosemary sauce with spicy wedges,peas and Cali.. |
 |
| Zoe the compare was hilarious as usual...it was a tiny audience,,,would you believe just the 8 of us in that huge theatre!! But the show was done as if it was packed.. the time of year and the weather was to blame I think! But we felt quite privileged to be sat watching our own private performance LOL.. |
 |
| Some we have seen before--including The River Dance..which is breathtaking to watch... |
 |
| There was a lot of new stuff too-- all very entertaining--and something we go and see each time we go to Blackpool. |
 |
| A grand finale.... |
 |
| The lovely Zoe... will look forward to going again sometime this year. |
