The front entrance of the Grand Ash. It has been like this for months now--such a shame.

Same happened last year and the then manager Des was doubtful that it would open for this season, but it did with a new manager, but ongoing work to literally shore it up is still in place.
Tripadvisor reports mixed,... it is a great looking building, be a shame for it to close.

It seemed that something was afoot again as they haven't offered any Tinsel and Turkey trips which in past years were very well subscribed.
They have been struggling since the first lot of masonry fell off the front of it, way back last year. It appeared that the more they tried to mend, the more collapsed.

Just spoken to temporary manager of Grand Ash and he says it is closed for refurbishment and they should re-open around March 1st when business starts to pick up again. He did not sound certain though.
After all what is time, a mere tyranny.

                   Nice rainbow over the pier earlier this morning. Wonder if there is a crock of gold to be found at the end or is it in the next kiosk along ---------?

We paid a visit yesterday afternoon to the Halloween Event at Bodafon Farm, which was being held in aid of Blind Veterans. A great event, that was very well attended. Bodafon Farm is an excellent venue for such events, especially if you have children.   $good$

Today, I snapped this 'double' rainbow... a phenomena that I don't think I've seen before.

              I've just walked down to get a paper and was amazed to see a dusting of snow on Tal-y-Fan and everything totally white from Foel Fras upwards and beyond. I didn't think it was that cold last night.

Funny you should say that. As I left home to go into town yesterday lunchtime, for a short time it hailed on me !
We noticed the snow when we looked out this morning and I said to my OH that it felt cold.
