• Caernarfon, Beddgelert and Llandudno

    September 18 in Wales ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Had a two hour session in Caernarfon the morning learning how to weave. Very interesting and very easy.
    On our way out of Caernafon, we had a look at the ruins of a Roman fort. The fort was manned by German auxiliary rather than real Romans. Geoff was ecstatic anyway.
    Then to Beddgelert, where it was raining cats and dogs. A very nice village, which was the site of a very sad incident in the late 1200s (see photo).
    We had a rest at home before heading out for dinner at Llandudno at the Abode restaurant, which was very nice (home-made pie and veg). Then a walk around the town (which was a bit of a revelation - this is a very popular seaside holiday destination with lots of delightful Victorian buildings along the shoreline) before attending the local Methodist church for a 2 hour concert by the local all male choir. The choir were great, as were the guy accompanying them on the piano and organ and a female soloist. All very good. Jules over the moon.
    An hour drive home and straight to bed after another very successful day in Wales.
