Strong winds on the Great Orme.

Llandudno yesterday.
AJ and I travelled independently yesterday, as no room in the Fiesta apart from the boot.
We missed the Great Orme Tramway Terminal and thought that the road was becoming rather steep.
We then thought that we were at the top.
I got out and had a chat to the chap in GOT regalia/Arctic clothing, and was informed that we could only buy tickets at the top and bottom, not mid-way.
This interaction was fortunate, as he could then keep the family updated about our movements when they made the compulsory "change" there, shortly afterwards - we had been spotted at intervals, in the town, seemingly dotting around randomly.
We did all meet at the top.
The family all said that it had been much worse on Snowdon the previous day, confirming that we certainly should not have enjoyed that adventure.
We looked out in all directions, visited the shop to thaw out, the G/c played on the adventure playground and then we descended in a warm car, the family in an open tramcar!!!!

We met up at the bottom and did the town, taking in fish and chips for lunch, ice cream for the g/cthe lady gave them enormous cornets at base rates, being the first she had sold this year.
I wasn't surprised.

Home via The Welsh Food Centre -lovely, but expensive - and Llanwryst, which we like.
We dined on home made chicken pie and Devina's lime cheese cake, made by T.
As is customary, the amount of wine consumed each evening increases during the week.
Yesterday. It was sufficient to see us through a game of Scrabble, won by AJ, thank goodness.

Today, who knows?
Activity, I suspect.
There is a lot going on - a film in the larger lounge, g/c wrapped in duvets, cutlery clattering in the kitchen and a body in the shower.........
(The downstairs bathroom has only a bath, which cuts off all other water supplies when run and has a non-functioning heater, so only used once, by me. I have yet to live it down/recover)

A lovely day again, at least at this moment in time.
