Pen Morfa - Ground Zero No.2

The now demolished Pen Morfa

"News first from the Llandudno Local...

Disappointment to Llandudno has come after the Local discovers a reliable source confirming Anwyl have no immediate plans whatsoever to develop on the Pen Morfa site on West Shore after being told by their bankers not to commence any developments for the forseeable future, the result of greedy developers who have no shame. Has Llandudno been left with yet another 'ground zero' on it's hands like that of the pavilion site on North Shore. The big question is, how long will this eyesore remain?"

How long this eyesore will remain is as good a guess yours as it is mine, if the loss of heritage is isn't hurtful enough to the town, now we're left with another pavilion site to showcase our resort. Welcome to Llandudno folks.

Llandudno Local Allotment

I decided to pop down to the Llandudno Local allotment yesterday evening and I was pleased to see this years strawberry plants are starting to yield glossy ripe red berries for my picking. There's nothing more satisfying than harvesting your own fruit and consuming them at their freshest shortly after picking, they went down a treat with a sprinkling of sugar and cream. Asides strawberries, I also grow raspberries, blackcurrants & blackberries and a variety of herbs and veg. I wonder if any of our readers like to grow their own too...?

A few too many...

Normally I try to put some kind of illustration or piece of thought imagery with every post on here, but for this post I didn't have my camera with me as much as I wished now that I had. Sunday night I had a few too many drinks with some friends of mine, we were having such a good time that we totally forgot about time itself. It became clear when I opened the door to leave and return home, it was light outside and the time was roughly 4:30 a.m. I had the delight of walking home back along the promenade, and for the first time in my life I saw the sun rise from the North Shore... I can describe what I saw in 2 words, absolutely amazing. The sea glittered like little pieces of gold, even the wind farms had an eerie feel about them, portrayed in such a way I felt they were acceptable... which under any other circumstance would be difficult for me to say lightly. If you're not much of an early bird, try to experience this, just the once. Next time I will be taking my camera...

They're Everywhere

Well I knew it wouldn't be long before our neighbouring little sprogs were to hatch, they are now the proud parents of 3 hungry little chicks. Stay tuned to see more... coming soon...

Good Luck Phil

Firstly apologies for my distance lately, for I have been basking away in the sunshine. Now that finally a dull day has arrived, it makes perfect chance for a spot of blogging whilst other bloggers with nothing better to do prefer to make the most of the finer weather by logging on constantly throughout the heat of the day. Each to their own as I say.

Anyway, let's start off back with something a bit funny.

I happened to be walking across Upper Mostyn Street the other day when myself and good friend of mine bumped into our old towns friend Phil of the Kings Head, known by many locals in and around Llandudno, Phil is a true character and squire and I always have time for a bit of banter and friendly chat with him. He was making his way up town so we accompanied him for a short walk as we were going in the same direction. Phil walked between myself and friend of mine, and just moments into our walk a ray or sunshine shone over him and the heavens opened... literally, and he was anointed with the towns blessing. Was it sheer luck that me and my good friend were missed by a fraction..., or then again for Phil giving us the best laugh we'd had in ages, was he the lucky one for getting a free half off us!

Cheers Phil, will never forget that one!

God bless you.
