I’m utterly convinced that we have many more very windy day so per year than we ever did.
As a young man I remember maybe one night per year of disturbed sleep as the gales rattled the slates on the roof.
Now, it seems to be twice a week!
Similarly, I’d be interested to see if the cable car owners keep records of this, because for the past 3 years or so, they are hardly ever open.

Fester, as a young man surely all the air raid sirens and bombings kept you awake more?

I was also on the West Shore this afternoon Hugo  I travelled up GLoddaeth Ave towards West Shore I have  never seen the sand  deposits so far down the Ave .I feel very sorry for the people who live there it appears to be  a problem for all the residents in that Ares .

We are 1/2 way between the 2 shores and have a losing battle to see through the windows, it also blows inside through the extractor fans. Recently we had a ceiling on a loo at the west side of the house fall in. When my OH began to clear up the mess he found 2 sacks of sand all over the floor which had blown into the underdrawing. For a small loo that is a heck of a lot of sand.

I know that I go on a bit about the sand problems on the West Shore but it's only because I was born in Llandudno and know what it was like before the idiots got their heads together and created the 1993 sea defence which has turned out to be a man made environmental disaster.

This is what it looked like before 1993 and it would have looked like that now if only they had listened to local people at the time

After digging my car out of the snow today I drove to Llandudno and then had a flying visit to the West Shore.    I got out of the car but quickly got back in it as it was so cold so I didn't take any photos.
I noticed that more sand has blown into the gardens opposite the boating lake and that there was a great big puddle on the road that has probably been created because the drains are blocked with sand.   Also the grass, if you can call it that, is now above the level of the retaining wall by the road.
However there was a major operation going on with the sand clearance from the lake and surrounding area.    A dumper loaded with sand was ready for putting it back on the beach.    I didn't stay long enough to see where exactly they were putting it, but CCBC aren't stupid enough to put it back above the high water mark, or are they?        &shake&

It's a regular earner for the company, it looked like Jennings as per usual.    Apart from the grass being higher than the wall by the road I noticed that parts of the "beach"  are now higher than the sea wall.
All it needs now if for them to put the sand above the high tide mark and it'll be higher still.

I remember those houses by the boating lake being des res but who would want a house where you have to hoover the sand from their lounge and the bedrooms?

And all because the goons thought they new what they were doing ,never a problem before they messed with the beach , the Sandhills were fine sand so digging a path through it without boarding it up not rocket sience to know rest would keep falling down ,Jennings aren't daft just moving the sand to the side .

Notice on the webcam 2 diggers and builders huts have arrived on the rough ground close to the café.

Anyone know what it is all about ?
Is the little sculpture in that area ? If so I hope it has not been buried under the sand.

This may help Mull.      It's written in an arty farty  language so people can understand the thought that has gone into the masterpiece.

I'm sure Arch Motors would give a good price for this bit of scrap metal,  pity the sand doesn't blow over that  ?   instead of into people's properties
