Great pic Blodyn!

Around Marine Drive today we saw this strange sight!  :o





seems very dangerous to me!

Then we had a look at the new house recently built, to me not a thing of beauty!

I can't understand how anything looking like that got planning permission  :o  it hardly fits in with the other properties and looks like it has had about 3 homemade extensions already!

That's not a new Bungalow, I was looking at a plot of land near to it nearly 40 years ago.   The bungalow was then a 4 bedroom property and was up for sale at £45K.     The original bungalow was the bit on the left of the photo and the bits on the right are extensions completed in recent years.

I must have been distracted by the car towing the skateboarder! I was looking to see the new build at the time!  :laugh:  mind you those extensions still don't  look quite right.

Maybe it was a trial attempt for that abomination on Colwyn Bay promenade!   ZXZ

There's a nice, clear view of the Isle of Man from the Great Orme today.

Next time you get a clear day like today Blodyn look just off the southern end of the I O M and see if you can make out the tops of the Mountains of Mourne over in County Down. I have seen them once in 15 years of looking from up on the track that goes up the Orme just after Rest and be Thankful

I was able to see the Isle of Man today from my house in Colwyn Bay and Cumbria was visible too. It looked like there had been a good snowfall in the Lake District.
