Round Britain Day 4 - Wales

I actually thought out of all the day, this was going to be the difficult one. However it has turned out to be just as good as the others. Its great to see the guests joining in with the banter, and once again all the attire was out.


Tonight's entertainment was by the fabulous Sue Forrester, and she rounded off the week in style. Its been a great week

Round Britain Day 3 - Ireland

Another fantastic day on our round Britain tour as we celebrated Ireland in style. Lots of the guests made the effort to dress themselves in Irish attire and headed down to the dining room, for another culinary treat.

Once again everyone had their passports at the ready, hoping luck was on their side to win the fantastic raffle prize. Tonight, there was an Irish cream Easter egg, bottle of Guinness and Irish fancy dress up for grabs

Tony G Ford (seen below) was on top form, and had everyone up dancing to the Irish jig with his upbeat sound.

Just a few of our dancers. I must say, anyone needing an Irish entertainer, Tony G is your guy. It's always good to see the guests up dancing and enjoying themselves. It makes all the work worth while

What a Great Irish Day it was

Aye, every wee lad and lassy were kilted to perfection for our Scottish themed day of our Around Britain week. And of course the Staff were not afraid to make a fool of them selves. Seen above from the left, Tom, Christina, Pauline and Head Chef Steve. And below looking very happy to see the camera, director Sue Rollings

On the menu were traditional Scottish dishes such as Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. And a Modern twist with an Arbroath Smokey Risotto. Being Shrove Tuesday as well, guests were treat to scotch pancakes with all the toppings.

After the once again wonderful food, it was seats in the lounge for the Diva Vocals of Donna Reid all the well from Motherwell One !

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!

On Saturday 21st February 2009, 32 guests and members of staff from the Lindum Hotel took a Coastal Coach to the heart of City Centre Manchester, The Palace Theatre, for a wonderful afternoon of musical theatre. The well known stories of PL Travers and Disney Film Productions have been adapted by Cameron Mackintosh and has toured the country since 2004. We arrived in good time and had great centre seats in the stalls. Lisa O'Hare played the legendary Mary Poppins and she was "Practically Perfect In Every Way", cleverly convincing us that she was just as worthy to be on the stage as Julie Andrews. Daniel Crossley played Bert, whose singing and dancing was magical - and not an american accent in sight! They were supported by a very talented cast and the production was packed with clever scenery, stage tricks and all the well known songs - and some new ones. No wonder it has won so many awards. We arrived back at the Lindum just in time for their award winning food! An evening dinner of 3 delicous courses and coffee, followed by more entertainment in the lounge. A great day out!!! Looking forward to the next Lindum Theatre Trip - "Thriller" on March 25th.

Delighted with the Halsa Enthusiasm


Many thanks to the members of Halsa who showed tremendous interest in our community blogging idea yesterday evening. Halsa (The Holiday Association of Lytham St Annes) were all for their business joining together and promoting each other with the blogging technique. Especially in this time of economic decline, it was deemed that all publicity is good publicity. It is hoped that most of the Halsa members will join the idea and will join together under the brand new Halsa website that is being designed by the very talented Ian Richardson of IWI Design. Ian has already revamped the Lindum Hotel Website and is very close to launching the new Rowley's Catering website as well, something which we are all looking forward to.
