What a postcard!

A look at a Blackpool beach scene in 1975.

We bought this great old postcard from a car boot sale yesterday. It was just 10p. What a scene.

Look at that sunburn!

We've been to Blackpool a fair few times over the years, but we've never seen the beach anything like that. Although it was sunburn weather on my visit to nearby St Annes on Sea last year.

The card has a nice special postmark on it with a list of the resorts that make up the 'Happy Holiday Coast'

We'll be heading back to Blackpool soon as we've heard there's an Adventure Golf course up the Blackpool Tower!

Minigolf and Sunburn

Even in my fifth season as a BMGA Tour Professional Minigolfer and after playing 65 British Minigolf Association Tour Events, at the seaside, in sunny weather conditions, since 2007 I still go and get bloody sunburnt at the weekend's BMGA British Masters tournament in Margate!

My regular Minigolf Doubles partner, Kevin 'Max' Moseley, is a Pharmacist too and would have definitely advised some Factor-50 should of been applied!
