22/2/12 - Whenever I visit Blackpool every February the Trams are closed for repairs, I don't think I have seen a running tram for years, do they actually ever work?

Day 419 - I Wonder
I wonder, wonder how the stars, the silent stars
Open their casements on the sea to look
Without a rustle, without a noise, without
A break in heaven's silent face at night.
I wonder how the Night aloft his car
With trembling hands of fondness light
All everyone by one and one by one
The giddying stars all diademed at night:
Without a rustle, without a noise, without
A break in heaven's silent face at night.
I wonder how the Night alighting stars
Lifts gently each by each imperceptible
And breaks none in placing back again
Like diadems of east in their due niche:
Without a rustle, without a noise, without
A break in heaven's silent face at night.

Day 417 - The Tower
19/2/12 - The Blackpool Tower was recently closed for a multi million pound renovation, Its now open and the work continues to finish painting it and installing the lighting, I have to admit it is looking rather good both inside and on the outside.
