There are friendly statues too...

Following on from the video post about statues fighting back, here is the other side of the coin. Me having a fun time with Eric Morecambe on Morecambe sea front a couple of years ago. Well, you have to, don't you!

You look like you really enjoyed that day

[SquirrelsHolt]

Hi there! Was it "Give me sunshine every day.......etc...."?

I remember watching The Morecambe & Wise Show on BBC1 primetime viewing and OMG did they get fantastic ratings. I remember when Angela Rippon showed off her long legs and danced with the 2 men, much to their delight 😂.

Hope you've been well and are hopeful for the future. 🐿🌈x

What a lovely photo. Thanks for sharing, xxx😘

Of course you do! I bet there will be hundreds of people who have done what you have done (photograph). He's asking you to join in really?

Great picture, great man! I don't know anybody who didn't love Morcombe and Wise.

They are Legends!

Cheers.

So now you have been to Morecambe and seen Eric are you a little Wiser? 😊😻x

[Ergendl]

It was a magical toothbrush trip - an overnighter with little luggage. Husband Alan and I started out early on the Thursday morning and drove from South Cheshire past the Ribblehead Viaduct to the White Scar Caves near Ingleton for a tour and lunch. Then we drove down to Morecambe and stayed the night at the wonderful Art Deco Midland Hotel, for dinner , B&B. Next morning we explored Morecambe and and had our photo-shoot with Eric. Then we drove through the Bowland Forest and had lunch in the garden of a lovely restaurant at Dunsop Bridge, before driving back home through Clitheroe and the main roads.

Sounds lovely! How I would love to do that right now! 😄

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

Wonderful, the freedom of movement prior to the pandemic.

[watergazer in reply to Ergendl]

A lovely trip - some wonderful places. The Ingleton waterfalls can be a spectacular walk and Dunsop Bridge and Clitheroe are beautiful . There's a lot of regeneration going on at Morecambe now - we went last year and sat on the beach . Used to live at Overton - a tidal village down the road- in my 20s I bet you felt mentally uplifted afterwards. x

[Ergendl in reply to watergazer]

Definitely. I had been planning the trip for months. Just needed the weather forecast to be right and a room to be available at the Midland on the right day.

The george Formby statue in Wigan ( no he hasn't got his little stick of blackpool rock with him) wants to know when he can join the statues fighting back gang 😉
