Yesterday Tellytubby, old Uncle Albert and I met up in Betws Y Coed to have lunch at the Royal Oak with a short walk before the meal. It's something we normally do before Christmas but it had to be delayed for one reason or another.
The weather there was perfect but the day before the rain had been torrential so in effect it restricted our choice of walks.
What we did instead was to have a look around the beautiful St Mary's Church first of all and then walk along the A5 as far as the Miners Bridge. We stopped en route at Pont Y Pair to take some photos and watch the torrent of water flowing impressively over the rocks.
It was the firsr time we had been over the new Miners Bridge since the old one had been washed away in a storm. The river was in full flood so we couldn't walk back along the river bank and instead took a detour and walked up to the tarmac lane and followed it back to Pont Y Pair and then to the Royal Oak where we enjoyed a nice lunch and a drink together. We had a good chat and loads of banter as we normally do and the walks we do are good for our physical health as well as our mental health. There were just the three of us having the meal and it made us realise how important it is to continue doing the walks so we planned some walks for this year, some were old favourites and some new ones too.
