Jack and I spent a lot of time looking for and at pictures of Blackpool going back to the 1940'. We chose that decade because that's when his Nana was born (1944) so he could talk about differences in seaside holidays between her being little and now.
He chose two pictures from each decade from 1940 to the present day and made a poster (thank you picmonkey) and then took a look at our own holiday snaps from Blackpool over the last few years.
He noticed similarities: Playing on the beach, riding donkeys, visiting Blackpool Tower, eating ice-cream. Things that haven't changed in 70 years!
He also noticed that there seems to be more things to do as time when on, like the Pleasure Beach and arcades, and fewer people.
I think he did well!
Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.
You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook
