Good God, Theres more of them!

For the past week, I have been staying with my old mans brother and his family in the very not sunny district of Blackburn. Having never ever seen him in the flesh, and only talked to him very briefly on the phone, i was very excited to see the other side of the Banks family which i have heard so little of.

For the first 2 days, my dads brother Clive was home alone (looking after 3 dogs and 4 cats) as his wife Judy and their lovely daughter Sadie were on holiday in Ireland.

So first thing, Clive thought it would be a good idea to take a trip down memory lane and visit where they grew up in Rishton and visit my dads old grammar school where he apparently went down in history as recieving Dux's of the college which the records are still there now.

The Family Home

The Study house! Apparently Ernest's mum couldn't stand any books lying around the family home so he had to study at a family friends house.

When Judy and Sadie returned from their holilday, Clive, Sadie and myself headed off to the lakes district.

The lakes district was quote ''RICH IN VEGETATION'' (Sadie) and rather wet. It didn't stop raining all day.

Next we were off to meet aunty Christine as shown below.

For my final day, the sun decided to pop out so we headed to Blackpool! Blackpool is home to Englands biggest fun park fittingly named the Pleasure Park!



The Blackpool Spire.

The Sling. A exciting ride which involved gettting winched high between two towers then slung over the ocean.

Clive, Judy and Sadie truely made me feel like one of the family during my stay. I had a ball staying at the Banks Household and i wish them all the best for the future. Rumour has it Clive and Sadie will be making a trip down under so look out Australia.
