Southport Starlings

Starlings starting to roost on one of the statues outside the pleasure beach.

Llyn Padern Tree - What happened to the branch ?

On our last visit back in February, it was intact but now in October, it’s hanging off. Another iconic tree no longer as photogenic as it was. Not the best weather to capture it, it was far to nice a day.

The Mad Hatter

In 2012 four sculptures of characters from Alice in Wonderland were made by woodcarver Simon Hedger for the town of Llandudno as part of Llandudno's link with Lewis Carroll. The design of The Mad Hatter was based on the original illustrations by Lewis Carroll capturing the moment where it is always time for tea! Commissioned by Llandudno Council, he stands on the promenade in Llandudno. He was made of half of a 9-tonne Oaktree.

Beyond the Bridge

Tu Hwnt I’r Bont is the 15th-century courthouse (now tea room) which turns red in the autumn and Y Bont Fawr is the three-arched bridge in Llanrwst which crosses the River Conwy to Gwydir Castle, a manor house dating from 1492.

September Sunset

As the nights draw in the sun sets at about 7.30. This was taken after one of our Wag Wednesday Evening in Bodnant. Sunset from south beach at Llandudno.

Bodnant in August

 August at Bodnant and the gardens are alive with perennials in full bloom, from the hot oranges of the Crocosmia to the rich blues of the Agapanthus.
