Well, as predicted weather has changed. We went to the pub as it was starting to rain. Got a call from a couple that stayed behind that the awning was going to take off. Hobbled back at double pace on two crutches (about half a mile) and got it down in record time. Told my wife and three of the group to stay in the pub. Usual Shell Island weather, turns quickly and the wind gets up. Hoping it blows over. Forecast has been accurate.

Weather cleared up by about 7pm so we hobbled back to the complex to watch the fireworks. Hobbled back and I went to bed at about 8:30. Hadn't realised I'd done 12,000 steps on crutches (about 5 miles). The rest stayed up till 12ish and were a bit piddled.

I've been up an hour. Sun is just breaking through and it's looking a fine day, if windy.

First cuppa, cheese ham and tomato toasties on the grill.

We weren't cold last night.
 
Sunday 30th

Spotted whilst walking the last 2 miles, after being dropped on with dog, en-route to my parents house
(the hubcaps match their front door!)
I've seen the side-door open, it appears to be a camper van

Even better afternoon. Pre-booked into Portmeirion camper site. Apparently only it's third season. Do it I'd say.

Complementary access to the outdoor pool at the hotel (heated to 27c) and access to the village and pool both days. Just move van into car park on day two.

MrsF just been swimming, pint in the hotel, back at van, shower, then a walk to the brasserie at the Castle.

Bugger, had a choice of 2 campsites. Chose the wrong one, because I've been there before
Sitting in the van listening to the trains hurtling past. Knew there was a reason I remembered it
Even the owner looked askance as he said " you've been here before, haven't you?" The question mark was fresh from the 50% off pile.
