Young Carers Christmas Party 19th December 2013

LETS PARTY!!!!!!!

     On Thursday 19th December all three girls went to Blackpool Yong Carers Youth Club Christmas Party. It was held at Holy Cross Church Hall on Central Drive in South Shore. 

     This is where Louise volunteers every Thursday when she helps with the running of the club.

     This is what Louise did to help with the party;

"I helped put all the presents out onto the tables for all the children, i helped make the food and drinks, helped the DJ, they played pass the parcels (there were 5 parcels), they played loads of games, they saw father Christmas, they had popcorn and they had their face painted and loads more".

     All three girls came home with presents from Father Christmas and they all had a great time.

PANTO TIME THURSDAY 19TH DECEMBER 2013

ITS THE PANTOMIME!!   OH NO IT ISN'T............OH YES IT IS!!!


     On Thursday 19th December Lily and Katie went with Mum along to the Grand Theatre to see the pantomime.

    This year the pantomime was the favourite Peter Pan.

Katie and Lily were taken on a magical theatricle journey to visit Edwardian London where Wendy Darling was telling a bedtime story to her brothers Michael and John of swashbuckling swordplay with the formidable pirate leader Captain Hook and the heroics of the playful Peter Pan  which leads to leads them over moonlit flying over rooftops to the lush jungles of the mysterious kingdom of Neverland.

    The girls were thrilled to see Tom Lister (Emmerdale's Carl King), and Radio Wave Breakfast show host Hayley Kay.


   They enjoyed the comedy acrobats The Nitwits and the very talented boys and girls from Barbara Jacksons schools of Dance.

      I am sure Katie and Lily would have loved to have joined Wendy and her brothers in an exhilarating life, free of grown-up rules, while also facing the inevitable showdown with Hook and his pirates.

     They all absolutely enjoyed the pantomime (I think Sarah has actually fallen in love with Tom Lister!!) that they are already wanting to book for next Christmas and the panto Sleeping Beauty.
