Day-Tripping
Yesterday my wonderful friend B took me on a day trip to Wales!! This is what we did:
Got up very early, packed picnic. Drove for hours. I kept asking "Are we in Wales yet?" Kept getting the answer of "No" until finally we drove past a sign saying "Welcome to Wales" Stopped asking if we were in Wales.
Went to Llangollen, walked around, had a lemon meringue ice-cream, saw the rushing water under the bridge, bought martha1985 a present.
Went to Betys-Y-Coen (unsure of spelling) walked around. Saw a Radley shop. Enviously eyed the Radley stuff. Spoke to very nice shop assistant about Radley bags for 20 minutes while B looked on desparingly. Paid 20 pence (!!!) to use the loos. Saw very bizarre food product....marshmallow fluff....in a jar(???)
Went to Landudno (spelling!!) It was very windy. Walked along the pier. None of the rides were open which was disappointing as I wanted to go on the helter-skelter. Stood at the end of the pier. Walked back. Had my photo taken outside of the Tardis, I knocked on the door but Doctor Who wasn't in. Went to the beach, turned down B's offer of getting in the sea. (It was cold) Walked into the centre, mooched around some shops, bought 6 sticks of rock. Walked back to the car, B insisted on looking at all the prices of the hotels on the way back so it took a while. The people in the van next to our car were smoking pot. Went up the Great Orme (in car) it was Really Windy. Tried to have a drink at the bar but it was closed (!!!) Drove home. Stopped at pub for a drink. Back home again.
All in all it was a lovely day. B wants to go camping there some other time. I'm game.
