As soon as we were washed and ready we put up Bella. The last time, in Cirencester, it was a right faff and she looked a bit wonky / scruffy. Slightly better this time, although it still took us the best part of 90 minutes to erect her.
The temperature was really warming up and by the time we had finished I was down to my t-shirt to go off to ablute! On that subject, the shower facilities here are good - not as good as a Padstow and Weymouth who currently share top spot for that award. Although this one, like the other non-Club sites leaves the showers open all day - a real benefit for late risers like us.
Once Bella was safely pegged out we headed for the beach just down the road at Old Colwyn. Luckily for us, and it was luck no time tables had been consulted, the tide was well out. This gave us, well to be more accurate the dogs, a lot of space to run, chase birds and dive through the waves. Although the sea was very still and placid so the waves were not that impressive.
We walked from Old Colwyn to Rhos on sea. About an hour there and an hour back. We managed to find a tea cabin open to get a cuppa before setting back along the beach.
We got back to the car just as it was getting dark. We needed to get tomorrow’s tea from M&S so we set off for the nearest one - Prestatyn. It only took about 30 minutes- we went along the coast road which seemed to be one static caravan holiday park after another. I have to say, most of them looked quite grim but hey ho holiday places in the winter always seem a bit “grey”.
After the M&S visit we popped over the road to look at a Mexican restaurant we noticed when we were passing. On closer inspection it wasn’t up to much but next door we were lucky enough to find a place called the Torello Lounge. A pub / restaurant with loads of veggie options. I had the veggie breakfast and a side of mac & cheese. Kim had a veggie burger. We were both happy with our choices!
Back home along the infamous North Wales Expressway to settle in for the night. A repeat of last night really ... an episode of The Waltons, an episode of The Wire and another drubbing for Kim at Canasta. Tchh, I think the current Mrs Pitts used up all her luck when she bagged me!!?
