We sometimes don't appreciate what is on our doorsteps do we? I used to visit Aberystwyth and loved to stand at the old ruined castle.There is a view of all of Cardigan Bay.
Lovely! It seems a good setting for a historical novel or play. The sea wall looks very old, too. And I thought I had a beautiful commute when I drove throulg a park. You win!
Hey, John. Absolutely beautiful and a lovely commute. We are going for a break in Llandudno (trains permitting) Would you know if there is a bus to Conway? :) Louise
We drove from the Dublin - Holyhead ferry to Sheffield this lunchtime - drizzle had set in. I can recommend Stena Plus as an upgrade if you go to Ireland soon. Comfortable lounge, coffee, croissants, newspapers etc on tap - all for c£25 on your ticket A full grill or eggs benedict as well if fancied for an extra fee. Worth every penny.
Such a breathtakingly beautiful view, and one to savour especially after a long night shift. My granddaughter and I enjoyed eating fish and chips whilst sitting on the sea wall there. What a backdrop ! Sorry to have been so scarce in commenting, I have been visiting you often and keeping up. Jo
Well her blog has gone and I found her through you. I was curious and worried. I really care. I sent you the ceramic pigs just so you o ow I’m being honest
Heart lifting!

ReplyDeleteYes, reminding yourself of the good things is so important
DeleteI see that the local authorities are a little slack about cleaning the tops of the street lights.
ReplyDeleteThere’s always someone who notices
DeleteTom, mucky luck's good luck!
ReplyDeleteI hunted up some more pics. Amazing! This antipodean always loves to see and think about the sort of historical buildings that we don't have here!
ReplyDeleteConwy is a beautiful totally walled little town very pretty
DeleteAs a commute, it beats staring up an HGV's exhaust pipe on the motorway! xx
ReplyDeleteI see enough of those tooo
DeleteJust lovely. Lucky you to be able to see this so often!
ReplyDeleteYes and so many days I drive through I don’t see it
DeleteI bet that was just what you needed after a long shift. Beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteYes I stood on the railway footbridge blowing the night shift from my hair
DeleteSuch a pretty place, we should organize a GoingGently festival there.
ReplyDeleteWith you as guest of honour
DeleteBeautiful . Does anyone swim in the estuary, or is it too dangerous there ?
ReplyDeleteThat I don’t know, the nearby Menai straights are notoriously dangerous
DeleteBless you for proiding such a beautiful view and food for plenty of thought dear John. Lovely view.
ReplyDeleteXx pat
DeleteSuch an iconic view.Never fails to impress.Barbarax
ReplyDeleteIt is really not a bad view is it? Looks like a lovely part of the world.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when the sun was shining and not a soul could be seen
DeleteLovely! It seems a good setting for a historical novel or play. The sea wall looks very old, too. And I thought I had a beautiful commute when I drove throulg a park. You win!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I don’t know much of the history of the conwy and the castle but I bet it’s an interesting read
DeleteOh yes, John its history is fascinating. Longshanks and sieges !
DeleteBeautiful views. The numerous boats show community interest in sailing.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a popular marina but there my knowledge stops
DeleteHey, John. Absolutely beautiful and a lovely commute. We are going for a break in Llandudno (trains permitting) Would you know if there is a bus to Conway? :) Louise

ReplyDeleteI used to see the World Trade Center every morning n the way to work.
ReplyDeleteI am not anonymous I am Ruth S.
ReplyDeleteGosh , I remember walking inbetween the towers on a grey Sunday
DeleteIt was chilling as I could see the tops of the buildings
What was that bloody awful noise that accompanied the video? Perhaps it was the soundtrack of my life!
ReplyDeleteOr just the wind from the sea
DeleteI love that lovely little town with its walls and its castle.
ReplyDeleteJohn, your posts inspire to visit Trelawynd the next time I travel to England.
ReplyDeleteAnytime x
DeleteWow! So beautiful.....if only.
