Fascinating :-)  I was wondering who the local apiarists were.

Just to let you know, Peter, there are yellow AA signs scattered around Conwy that still say every Wednesday for the Farmers' Market.  :)

Might just pop along to that Bee Fest. I have myself a nice bit of agricultural land and am considering housing an apiary to pollinate my flowering crops, not too keen on honey so would probably give it away. I haven't a clue where to start, maybe I will find my answers there. Is the reintroduced market any good?

Bee keeping is very satisfying, and it's something anyone can do, even if you live in the centre of town which - curiously - is where bees seem to do rather well. The odd sting aside, bees are fascinating creatures, and do most of the looking after themselves. Best way to learn is to find someone who already does the job and offer to help out.

Seen them before on the quay in Conwy, if it's the same lads they were excellent and I will do my best to get the night off and go down there.

My favourite Pink Floyd song is 'One Slip':

Thanks guys; yes it was us who played Conwy Quay earlier this year.
We played the Civic Hall last December and had a great time, that's why we decided to to it again.
Such a shame to hear it's future is in the balance; we've been assured that our booking, which was made some time ago, still stands.

Dave, I'm afraid we don't do One Slip although we're still expanding our reperoire.

On your recommendation, Bellringer,  we went over to Bodlondeb today  (coincidentally we got there just as the Lady Mayor was arriving to plant a tree). It's the first time we've been over there and I really enjoyed the woodland walk. Loads of animal and bird activity and a surprising number of Woodpeckers in the trees.I think it might be an old wives tale about the volume of holly berries being an indicator of how bad the upcoming winter is going to be, but if it is the case, then we are in for a really cold  one this year.

Glad you enjoyed it. I had every intention of going but my wife was ill and so I was confined to looking after her and doing a few things about the house.

Haven't been to Conwy for a whileso-- anyone know what is happening to the Antique shop  (Lovejoy's?) It was cleared out and workmen were in there middle of last week? It was featured on the Antiques Road Trip earlier this year.

It was all closed up with the windows covered over when I went past yesterday.

Thanks Ian, hope she will be OK in a few days - the menu is a bit limited at present!

Medieval parade Friday Dec 10th along the quay in the early evening. I understand there will be fire jugglers! Conwy shops are staying open late as well, apparently. Looks like a fun way to spend a Friday evening now that forecast is calling for a toasty warm 8C that night. Time to break out the BBQ?

Not so keen on the 'Late Knight Shopping' phrase but after a few mulled wines maybe that will change.
