Blackpool Sealife Centre

Young neighbour Isabella, age 6 years, accompanied me on a magical mystery tour of Blackpool Sealife Centre.

In awe

Fascinated

Beautiful fish, excellent informational talks, but (for me) a bit sad. Like Zoos. Captive creatures.

But these establishments exist for a purpose. To perpetuate dwindling species.

Sharks

Sting Ray and Friends

Without a doubt, Blackpool Sealife Centre is a great interactive family day out.

As if in flight

Wouldn’t it be perfect if Sealife Centres nationwide opened for a morning or afternoon for adults only.

Big people would learn so much more without the demands of little people!

Rubbish Furniture

A comfortable chair and table
overlooking the Ribble Estuary at Lytham

Not just any old chair and table

This is designer furniture
fashioned from rubbish
washed in with the tide:
wood, a buoy, life-belt, rope,
the remnants of a Public Footpath sign

Table and Chair

A work of art
by artists with a sense of humour
