Get off the line

A bit of a surprise this weekend. Jess called from Uni, feeling a bit homesick and all her Uni friends had gone home for the weekend. So that was the weekend mapped out, cheaper to go see her than for her to come home.

We spent a lovely day walking around Southport, which struck me as a lovely seaside town, like an up market version of nearby Blackpool. We seemed to talk lots, about all the stuff she has been up to, difficult things she has had to deal with and the positive stuff too. We had a bit of a laugh too along the way.

Sometimes you cannot help feeling proud at the way your kids turn out when they tell you how they dealt with difficult situations.Though she is normally camera shy, she posed on the train track for this one - and got some funny looks in the process :-) I should perhaps point out that the tram was stationary at this point and even when moving, proceeded very slowly, stopping as pedestrians got in the way!
