So, the new job began properly this week and the first job included two days away at the Urban Drainage Group conference in Blackpool. Some people may think that a conference devoted to Urban drainage might not be the most interesting thing in the world? Those people would be completely correct. It wasn't quite mind-numbingly dull, but it would come a close second to watching cream paint dry on top of some more cream paint.
One plus side would be that I got to stay in a fairly decent Hilton hotel and I got a view of the tower and the seafront. I like the sea, makes the world seem somewhat more fresh which considering the subject matter of the conference is much appreciated.
Also got to take pictures of another football ground, this time it was Bloomfield Road, the home of Blackpool FC. Bit of an odd stadium, half way through a redevelopment and difficult to get a decent picture off. Should be good if they can ever finish it off though.
Was a bit disappointed that the world famous Blackpool illuminations weren't on. I always thought they started in late October and carried on through till the New Year. Turns out they are only up for a few weeks and then there is nothing in November before the separate Christmas illuminations go up in December. Timed that one badly didn't I!!
