My boyfriend, Pidge, has always been a bit of an adrenalin junkie. He is into winter sports, rock climbing and has always dreamed to do a parachute jump. So, you can imagine his reaction when he discovered that I had booked him for a flying lesson. And, as if that wasn't enough, the flying instructor was actually one of his old school friends!

So, last weekend, we packed our bags and set off for a very sunny weekend in Manchester to stay with Danny and Louise (Pidge's school friend / our flight instructor and his lovely fiance). After, we got settled in to their beautiful new home and spent a few hours catching up then it was onto Blackpool airport!

I had never visited Blackpool before, but it was on my bucket list of '25 things to do before I'm 25'. So I was thrilled when I found out I was going along for the ride! We flew the whole breadth of Blackpool's coastline and I got to see Blackpool tower for the very first time at 3,000 feet! It truely was the best experience of my life... oh and Pidge had a cracking time too :)
