The summer escape plan

Things won't be as originally intended, I wouldn't say planned as we didn't get that far so it's a matter of reworking things a bit over the mid summer period to fill the gaps although I suspect it would of been a matter of taking the thinnest nightwear and cotton dresses with me as the weekend is going to be very hot apparently.


 

I was in Llandudno on Tuesday on a coach with less than comfortable seats enjoying the sea air and visiting a few shops as I never was away with the usual crew in North Wales although I believe they did in the early years of this century and actually it would of been very easy for me to had made my own way there by train.

Unlike the days when I did spend a good four days or so there, North Wales today has a dirth of record shops so any record shopping is restricted to markets and record fairs and photo shops equally left from the days of Jessops having a branch but I suppose when people are not likely to need to get consumables such as film, filters and photo processing  there probably is insufficient turnover to justify it.

Heck many don't print out or even back up the many pictures they take on smartphones or digital cameras while we'd sort our slides and make up photo albums by topics.

Anyway, that's this weeks recollections!
