Conway

Conway is one of my favourite places to spend time relaxing. It is situated on the North Wales coast, United Kingdom and has a Castle which was built on the orders of King Edward I of England during one of his periodic attempts to take control of the entire British Isles.

The picture is taken from Conway harbour from which short coastal excursions are operated during the summer months and also you can observe locals repairing their own boats before sailing.

Nearby is the smallest house in Wales which a lady in traditional Welsh dress will explain the history of and maybe let you take a picture of her and the house to show your friends and family.

Also to be found in Conway town centre is Aberconway House which is owned by The National Trust.

I find the calm helps me to remember what I love about going to visit places and the seaside activities I loved as a child.

Late Summer Hols 2006

I went away this week and by way of souvenir, here is a picture of where I stayed.

 As you can tell it was very sunny indeed with all the flower in full bloom in the guesthouse gardens which is something I enjoyed waking up and rushing downstairs to sit out in in the morning. 

I normally have my green camera bag with me with the Minolta X500 and XD7 with me plus a few lenses. These days I have digital cd-roms made of the films for blogging when sending my films back for processing.

I went on the Welsh Highland Railway  with spectacular views of Snowdon.

I'd always pack some short sleeved  t shirts and games skirts to put over my trunks as well as hardier clothing for walking and something more formal for evening dinner with fellow guests.

I also take a couple of skirts with me too
