FREE PORTRAITS!!
 To tie in with my new hobby of photography we're giving away free printed and framed portraits to any guest staying 4 nights or more who wants one. It will be ideal for a family portrait, a couple or just a treat for your loved one. You'll need to request this at reception so that we can book a time for the sitting (which takes about 15 minutes). This offer is strictly subject to us having the time to do it so its unlikely we can do this at Easter or busy weekends.
Some examples here
What does it cost?
| Guests staying: | Cost: |
| 4 nights or more: | FREE |
| 3 nights | £20 |
| 2 nights | £45 |
| 1 night | £65
|
| Subject to us having time to do this - unlikely during busy weekends - midweek shouldn't be a problem. Offer subject to one framed photo per room booked. Extra pictures can be supplied on disk for further charge. |

Canasta Scrapbook!!
I guess I should be keeping my personal stuff away from this page as most viewers here will want to know what's new at the hotel. OK...so I created a scrapbook where I can post more personal stuff for friends and family to mull over.
Canasta Scrapbook here
 One of my first posts to it is about the Smoke Art I recently had a bash at. I got this new all singing all dancing camera and it can take some great shots (in the right hands) and I'm quite pleased at the results I'm getting.

Guinea Pigs required!! If you are staying with us midweek and want a portrait doing...let me have a go....no charge....if I have the time it will be extra practice for me!!

Back from Thailand....awesome time
Urm....Mandy did seem to be "conversing with the animals" a bit...so much so that I was calling her "Doolittle" by the second week. And, yes, there are a lot of boats. I was captivated by the colours of them all. Anyway....it was definitely one of the best holidays we've had...
Mandy (aka Dr Doolittle) feeds a few tigers in this video (flash and broadband required)
and here are some of my favourite pictures... (Flash Macromedia required)
and here is a view from our balcony where we had breakfast every morning (flash and broadband required)

Portugal Flights
Another domain I never did anything with goes live today. Portugal Flights.com is a one way landing page which pushes viewers through to wegolo....who in turn will search over 75 low cost airlines to get you the cheapest airfares.
Sorry - nothing to do with the Canasta, I know, but according to our log files Googlebot visits this page nearly every day...so it's clearly impressed. I may as well keep it busy and throw him off to my other business ventures

London Hotel.com
Not much to report at the Canasta - its been a slow start to the season and after major expense of the new fire alarm system we could have done with Blackpool being a little busier. BUT...advance bookings are really healthy.
Time for a bit of search engine plugging...I've been working on one of my other domains whilst its quiet - it was in dire need of a re-design...but its ready now. Anybody going to London to catch a show or just for a few chill out days...please check out one of my other business domains www. London Hotel .com
There's still a lot to add to it but the backbone is there now and its looking good...even if I do say so myself :)

| Wed 15th April 2009 | Quick Trip to Paris
Swamps bought me a trip to Paris for my 50th Birthday. We've been many times and I loved it (so thanks for that Swamps). Saw all the sights but the best part was just lazing on the banks of the Seine with a bottle of Merlot in the afternoon. Night time was expensive...£26 for two vodka and Cokes!!!
Some of the best pics are here...
...and a 360 panoramic shot on the bank of the River Seine outside Notre Dame can be found here. It's a bit over exposed but you should be able to spot the drunk on the bench with the bottle of wine ...

| Wed 15th April 2009 | Spend Spend Spend!!
Well..Swampy decided we needed new bedding for all the rooms....and her decision just cost me £5000 !!
BUT...it is nice!! We ordered 60 Duvet covers, 120 pillow cases and 120 sheets from King of Cotton. Their sales blurb goes like this: "Simple and stylish, this self stripe design (1cm. wide) will enhance the look of your rooms for years to come. Made from Luxury Egyptian cotton Percale with a superior high thread count of 600 Threads per square inch."
"Whoo Hoo!!" I shouted as I looked at the invoice, "600 threads per inch...I hope our guests appreciate it." And..as I took another glimpse of the invoice total....Ko Samui looked a long way away....I hope the exchange rate with the Baht improves.
They will look nice as we get around to changing all the bedding over the next few days...the down side is...I got to take new pictures of 30 bedrooms now!! So....thanks for that Swamps!!

| Tuesday 3rd Feb 2009 | A Bit of Culture in Prague!
Always wanted to go to Prague so flew over on Thursday for a short stay. Its a wonderful city - the architecture is beautiful. Mandy's not into concerts, castles and culture so I was Wilhelm Nein Maten (that's Czech for Billy No Mates). I went to 3 concerts...Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, Vivaldi's Four Seasons and a bit of Mozart which were all fantastic and the highlight of my trip. (I included Rhapsody in Blue on the pictures page..you may need to allow the ActiveX control to play it)
The food was fantastic...plenty of pheasant and duck...my faves!! The Czech wine aint half bad either...had a bottle or three from the vineyard attached to Prague Castle - delish!!
Took my new camera and had fun trying to get to grips with all the buttons!!
So....in case you're interested...here are the pictures
...and here are some panoramic shots

Saturday was our anniversary...37 years. Not married (...thats only 29 years) ...since the day I asked her to go out with me. I was 12...I cornered her on Clevedon Road (not far from here)...and said "Will you go out with my brother?". She said, "No....but I'll go out with you!!" ...and that was that. So thanks Swamps for 37 years.....and I'll look forward to getting old and crinkly with you!!! Thanks to everybody who shared our fun over the weekend - and especially BIG THANKS to Andy (the nutter) and Tom Tom G100 !!!

| Monday 24th September | Not much to report....
Regular readers are reminding me that there's nothing new on "Latest News" ..urm thats because...not much has happened out of the ordinary. Swampy's recovering at home (and out from under my feet). All her jobs are covered (that took about 3 minutes). Weekends mad busy (so nothing new there). Midweeks ....just how I like it...not too busy. Vinny's growing fast (as babies have a tendency to do...). Looks like that's the "summer" over and done with....typical Illuminations weather today. The Fireworks Championships are pretty spectacular this year....on Friday nights at about 8:30pm. I'm definitely on countdown now to our holiday....6 weeks, 2 days to go (note to self...get to Driving Range). This year we're going back to Thailand...coz we love it there!!

Fancied something different to the normal Italian and Chinese last night and paid a visit to Kwizeen. We've been a couple of times and always had a top notch meal but last night I was especially impressed so we'll be recommending this restaurant to our guests in the future who want something a little bit different to steak and chips. Last night I had Lytham Wood Pigeon, Birchwood Strawberries and Pepper Sauce as a starter - it was REALLY REALLY nice. The Lancashire Tea Smoked Goosnargh Duck Breast in Liquorice Sauce as a main meal was also delicious and something a little different. You can view the full menu here. We think it's a great Bistro offering something a little bit different.

| Saturday 28th April | England Smoking Ban
May we remind future guests that from Sunday 1st July in compliance with new English laws the Canasta Hotel will not allow smoking in any part of the hotel (bedrooms included). It's not our choice. As smokers we realise we are in the minority now and most folk would prefer a non smoking environment but it does peeve a bit that the government aren't giving us the choice. I think it would be much better if legislation were changed so that any hotels were forced to display "We Allow Smoking Here" and let the guests make their minds up...it's just another instance where this government are taking away freedom of choice.
But..it will be self-policing and the fines are quite heavy so we will have to enforce it.
We've made the decision to extend the ban to all bedrooms. If we allowed guests to smoke in their rooms this WOULD cause excessive pollution which would be VERY DIFFICULT to clean. Any Guests causing us suspicion of smoking in their rooms will be asked to leave and the booking will be cancelled with all charges due plus a room cleaning/loss of revenue charge of up to 2 nights room rate (a room that smells of smoke may not be able to be re-let until the smell is cleared). If you smoke in the room and we do not identify it until you have checked out, your card details will be charged with the additional nights charges as detailed above.
Sorry - we don't agree with it - but we have to enforce it - at the end of the day it's our Residential Licence that may be revoked if we continued to allow guests to smoke. Thanks for your understanding.
For more information about the ban and help in quitting please click here

| Friday 27th April | Who Switches Lights On
I must be psychic - ages ago I made a page "who switched the lights on". Well it's quite aptly named this year as David Tennant aka Dr Who switches the lights on Friday 31st August.
Advance bookings are phenomenal this year (which is strange as the early part of the season is REALLY quiet...) ....so BOOK EARLY for high season!!!

| Tuesday 28th March 2007 | Anglo Scottish Trophy
Just back from a great two days with Andy, Terry and Davey in Burntisland. On the Tuesday we played GLENEAGLES Centenary Course.....it was awesome!!!!!!!!  Well ...we had to test it out prior to the Ryder Cup being played there in 2014. Terry pointed out to the greenkeeper that "the Par 3's would need toughening up a bit but apart from that it was a good test" (urm..without actually hitting a green)
Andy won the new trophy - he played the round of his life - I was so envious!!! So...well done Big Yin!! It was nice to meet Davey and hope he can make it for Gails Bash in May.
