Wowsers! #StormBoelo at high tide in Blackpool 💦
Scenes from Blackpool this morning at high tide, when #StormBoelo was raging
Spotted a tent pitched at Manchester Square on Blackpool prom earlier. With the worst of the winds coming from behind the building, it should be ok but I certainly wouldn’t like to spend a night in it.
Torrential rain in Blackpool this afternoon. At least it’s set to dry up before #StormBoelo gets going 💨🌧️💦
Scenes from Blackpool today as we brace for #StormBoelo later 💨🌧️💦
It’s the calm before the storm here in Blackpool this Saturday. Visitors are enjoying the promenade and attractions while the conditions are not too bad, but it’s going to kick off from this evening & overnight #StormBoelo #StormAusten
A few years ago, after eating a chocolate bar or biscuit, I started folding the wrappers before tying them up. I sometimes do the same with crisp packets. Saves a bit of room in the bin, at least.
Still very wet in Blackpool, but the winds have calmed somewhat. #StormBoelo is coming next.
The Lightpool Festival in Blackpool runs until the end of the month. Here are some of the sights you can see share.google/LDQwfeWlhf6cUFn…
Well, another night and another Wetherspoons in Blackpool. This time it’s the Layton Rakes on Market Street in the town centre. The Layton Rakes also has a quite rare music license for a Wetherspoons, meaning that on certain busy nights with young people/students, they can play banging dance music.

Huge news for Blackpool! We’ve officially been shortlisted as one of the final four places in the running to become UK City of Culture 2029!
For generations, Blackpool has known how to put on a show. From world-class events and our iconic Illuminations to our proud seaside heritage and local community arts, Blackpool has proudly entertained the nation. Now, we’re one step away from bringing a huge £10m celebration, new jobs and massive investment to our town.
We're up against Wrexham, Sheffield and Milton Keynes and the judges will be visiting us soon before making their final decision later this winter.
Nearly 30,000 of you have already backed our bid but we need the whole town behind us now!

This light up display on Blackpool promenade is part of a festival of light starting this week, but it’s been battered by high winds today. I took a video of them setting it up the other night, but I can’t see it surviving out here, especially when Storm Austen hasn’t even hit yet.
I’m not a plane spotter or anything, but I do use FlightRadar24 quite a lot when I hear something loud going over. It seems like the Airbus A330 is the most common jet going over my town. It’s quite loud as well, compared with similar jets.
The Castle Pub in Blackpool has always been a very popular haunt for entertainment, music and football.
