I must have been wicked.
Arrived home Monday planning a few days at home , but . . . .
The next day found me taking some reception kiddies to Delamere Forest on a Gruffalo hunt.
Friday I'm off to Llandudno for the weekend, returning Monday, GoldFlash will be left in the garage.

Ah....Gruffalo hunting at Delamere, a fun day out - I remember doing it with these little tykes a while back. However, I (generally....) prefer mountain biking there.

Either way, a great place to be, with a lovely - if occasionally busy - switchback road through it, and even lovelier pubs nearby .

Llandudno was cold and rather windy on Friday and Saturday.
Saturday had a very interesting drive in a big tri-axle coach to Llanberis and Caernarfon with trees down and frozen screen and mirrors
Sunday was much better to Betws-y-Coed where we had sunshine and no wind but found Llandudno had rain all day when we returned.
Tomorrow 02/12/2021 I'm doing a day excursion to York so I will be visiting the Monks Bar Model shop to see if they have anything worth buying for my other hobby.
