Americans seem to do " Breakfast Meets" . Brits less so.
I like them. Ive Just got Dorothy out of her car crate( which went much better than I dared hope, -probably because of the pigs ear I'd hidden in her blankets) and after a walk on the beach I'm off to meet my friend Polly for breakfast at Bryn Williams in Colwyn Bay
Breakfast always tastes fabulous after a walk
And it did.
Film studies on zoom lecture thus afternoon, then choir....
It’s not a film I particularly like or indeed have ever sat through for its entirety , but I enjoyed the forensic dissection and discussion of the movie, which is also stimulating .
In one of the breakout groups I met a woman from Kent who, as it turned out knows my ex mother in law.
It’s a small world.
The “professional “ Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir singing Calon Lân
Choir was hard tonight. Jamie ( sans 1940 RAF moustache) only had 13 of us to deal with and decided we
Should sing the traditional version of Calon Lan which is one of the most famous Welsh Hymns ( it means a pure heart)
The harmonies proved to be very difficult for me as the bass lines are so different from the original tune.
We also sang an anti war song which had incredible resonance with the news from the Ukraine and today I’ve been reminded of my own Ukrainian Village here on the field which also has its own resonance .
One of the village wardens , Jo ( the powerhouse that runs the toddler group in the hall) has organised a collection of necessary goods to be sent out to the Ukrainian refugees and within hours had pledges of all manner of items by village people.
Start the day off right!

DeleteA walk, then breakfast with a friend is a wonderful start to the day and your plans for later are delightful.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see only poached eggs on the menu. Do they offer scrambled or fried eggs if you ask?
Hugs!
Oh, and Happy Mardi Gras, too!
DeleteIt’s a nice but rather regimented menu
Deletebreakfast out along with great coffee is always enjoyable. Your walk on the Bay looks divine.
ReplyDeleteLook in the fpvery far distance and you can just see the Gop hill 20 miles east
DeleteI miss the big skies and early morning prom walks in Llandudno so much. A coffee in the fresh air is always a treat isn't it.
ReplyDeleteHappy St David's Day. xx
Colwyn bay has skies reminiscent of the Turner skies in Margate x
DeleteDo you wear the girl's leads attached to yourself John? x
ReplyDeleteNo x
DeleteHappy Days John.
ReplyDeleteThank you, we need more happiness x
DeleteHappy St David's Day to my favorite Welshman! Breakfast at the coast sounds lovely. Glad the crate wasn't too difficult for the bulldog. She'd be hard to wrestle!
ReplyDeletecroeso
DeleteWhich means you’re welcome xxx
We used to go out for sumptious (i.e., over the top) breakfasts. Former Americans, you now. Now, it’s mostly just coffee. Porridge honey and pumpkin seed sure sounds good. Enjoy yourself!
ReplyDeleteWhat no bacon and maple syrup x
DeleteBacon, yes, please! Maple syrup, I’ve never been a huge fan. Just a dollop is plenty for me. SG has pancakes just for the maple syrup. He should serve it in a bowl. But back to the bacon...
DeleteI didn't know I had a day?

I love breakfast out even for dinner! My granddaughter requested for the family to have a brunch out at a favorite nice restaurant for her birthday last month. It was wonderful! I hope you enjoyed your film studies group this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI did , it my kind of film , but I enjoyed the chat
DeleteGinger Rogers said 'I did everything Fred did only backwards and in heels'.
ReplyDeleteDo you read music, John or do you learn your part by ear?
I referred to that quote today xx
DeleteNo we all learn from Jamie who sings our parts and shows us a level with his hand we follow his lead
DeleteWhat a thrilling song sung by the Trelawnyd Male Choir and it gave me chill bumps! Heartfelt thanks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy another day off tomorrow!
Hugs!
A beach walk and then breakfast is so good! Even better with a friend to talk to.
ReplyDeleteSaturday Night Live opened with a Ukranian Choir instead of a comedy sketch. It was very moving - particularly at the end. I've popped the link here in case you're interested

Bloody Mary! Bryn William's prices are high. I hope that he donates generously to Ukrainian causes.
ReplyDeleteI saw "Top Hat" ages ago and I remember enjoying it, but I don't remember anything about the plot. (Or if there even is one!)
ReplyDeleteThat breakfast menu is extremely cheap if compared to NZ prices. We went out for brunch the other day and it cost $47.00 for Country mince on toast with a poached egg on top (overcooked) Nachos with the said same County mince and no promised jalapeno chilli and a pot of tea for 2. I'd rather have yours.
ReplyDeleteI remember Top Hat from my childhood; my mother was a great fan of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers we watched every movie.
Jo in Auckland
Breakfast out is the best way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteOn another note. Our little quilt/fabric shop which also has online presence raised 34,000 for refugees in 4 days. The owner has a sister in Poland and 100% is going to aid the refugees. I was amazed.
So glad Trump didn't win this term..he probably would have paved the road for Putin's entry. I want to know who let all the crazies out..love you Dorothy..miss Ms Winnie but Albert has my heart.
