Whirly Gig

I would have liked to have put a different picture than more Blackpool today & I was supposed to be going to Garstang show but discovered I had double booked B&B for tonight ! I have been sorting it all out & by that time it was too late to go ! Anyway these young lads were having a great time on the funfair! It looks like my mind was this morning ...in a whirl ! Not the first time I have done it but a bit stressful ! Best viewed large !
Great motion...looks like fun!

It's very colourful and I'm sure they are having fun but I avoid these at all costs!! Hope you get some chill time after your stress!

Well, what's done is done. Try to sit back and relax. Enjoy the day!! You really got a great photo out of it all anyway!!

@sarah19 @karenann Thank you both, all is well now & it was a total misreading of my booking book,. I write things in it thinking I will remember a month later. It turns out I wasn't double booked at all & had put the name of the B&B in the village where I had put the relations of the folks I had in !! Sounds complicated but we haven't to sleep on the sofa after all !!

@shutterbugger Thanks for your comment Jen, I was quite pleased I had got a visible picture of the boys & also the speed of the ride. Just shot on auto.

@snowy It is enjoyable having family but nice to get back to normal...which is good! I was shattered after I'd had them over from NZ but just ignored all the house work until they had gone !!

@stepheesue @jquinn Thank you both for your comments! I took lots of shots of Blackpool that night & hope nobody is getting tired of them !

This is a great shot - still parts & moving parts at the same time! Glad the crisis was averted - you don't want to have to borrow a stable!
