00:00Do you like to go when it's sunny?
00:08Lizamstown Towns.
00:09And what do you like to do there?
00:12I like to go to different places, I like to go to Southport, Lake District, I like to
00:18go for walks.
00:19And how often do you do that?
00:21If it's nice weather, every week.
00:24Where would you recommend to go when the weather is nice in Lancashire?
00:29There's a nice place on the riverbank, the River River, called Continental Pub.
00:37When the weather's that hot, I'd recommend people go there, you know, you can sit out
00:44and have a chinwag.
00:47Would you recommend that for families with kids?
00:50Absolutely, absolutely.
00:52As an antidote to the great fires, you know, weather storms, you know.
00:58So where would you recommend going in Lancashire when the weather is nice?
01:01When the weather's nice, I think it depends, it depends on your finances a lot of the time
01:05and how many children you've got, if any.
01:07But I think in general, your first stop's got to be Avonham Park, because they've absolutely
01:11made it beautiful.
01:12They've got all the new steps put in, they've got all the fountains being refurbished, all
01:17the grass is cut and it's so beautiful, summer there on the park.
01:20But then there's also Moor Park, I think we might have a few festivals coming on there.
01:25So that's worth a look.
01:26And there's the nice places for food there, and is it nice scenery?
01:29Oh yeah, yeah, you get loads of mixed food, yeah, from all continents.
01:33Yeah, and is it dog friendly around there as well?
01:35Oh totally, yeah, you can bring dogs to Avonham Park and to Moor Park, yeah.
01:39Now that's if you've not got much money and you don't want to travel far, yeah.
01:43But if you've got a car and vehicles like that, I mean, it's 45 minutes and you're in
01:47the Lake District, you know, it's only over just on the border.
01:51And you can be in like, I don't know, you can go out to, what's it called, I've forgotten
01:57the name of it now, well it kind of connects from Morecambe all the way along the sands
02:03and you come out at a lovely kind of inlet.
02:07But you know, you can drive out there and it's free to park, fantastic for the kids.
02:12So would you say it's family friendly around there?
02:14Totally family friendly, yeah, you'll have no problem.
02:17What are your favourite places to go when it's sunny in Lancashire?
02:19We like to go, there's a park just round the corner from here called Avonham Park,
02:23that's a nice place to go with the children and have a walk.
02:26And there's also a park in Burnley called Thompson's Park, that's great.
02:29It's got outdoor fool, it's got a ribby, you can go rowing in, there's a little train
02:35and there's plenty to do for the children.
02:37You can spend all day there, so we do enjoy that, don't we?
02:40Would you definitely say it's family friendly?
02:42Oh yes, definitely.
02:43And it's for all, so there's disability, like a disabled park on there as well, so it's
02:47for all children and it's really, really good.
02:49You can go there at 9 o'clock in the morning, you don't come home till 3 or 4 o'clock.
