As you might have guessed I’ve had to split this weekend’s blog up because it is soooo long!  Sort out a drink \ go to the loo before you start!

After last time’s pictorial homage to Sami you’ll probably get a few more of the scenery this time and maybe even some of Megan!

 

The weather people had been predicting rain for us for the whole weekend, with the possibility of some sun on the Bank Holiday Monday, so I wasn’t holding out much hope of getting a lot of walking done.  But, to be fair, the Met Office staff are a bunch of idiots who haven’t managed to predict our local weather correctly so far this year – we were even talking to a chap in the village who had specifically come out to Betws from Manchester because the weather had been predicted as terrible and he had correctly guessed that would actually mean it would be gloriously sunny most of the weekend.

Friday – I dropped Paula off at the hairdressers, which would give me about an hour to take the dogs around the Great Orme.  Unfortunately I forgot the camera so you’ll have to take my word for it, the weather was superb – it wasn’t even windy, which is really rare for the Orme!  Crystal clear skies and hardly a soul about.  As Paula wasn’t with me I did the path around the very edge – in a race with a spectacular 3 mast yacht as it sailed around the coast and into the marina at Conwy. 

In the afternoon I even had the time to re-pot some Livingstone Daisies – I had planted up one seed tray and managed to replant half of it – 160 individual plants so the conservatory window ledge looks like a greenhouse again.  I only stopped when I ran out of compost – the other half will get done next weekend.  The day finished off pleasantly with us and the dogs having our evening meal in the Royal Oak in Betws.
