I am writing this from a small hotel in Preston. We're too tired to go out, so we're staying in and catching up.

I've only been to Blackpool once, but it was also off-season -- January, I think. Very odd to walk down near-empty streets in such an obvious vacation area. I live in Florida, but even during the winter, we have Snowbirds. No such think in Blackpool. ;-)

Blackpool any time of year is surreal

You're making me jealous. I wish I was 'back' in York (although it's probably too cold right now to really appreciate the city).
