What's Llandudno Like Right Now?

Interesting article in the Huffington post about the plans to revive the Alice connection in Llandudno:

"The Directors of Alice In Wonderland Ltd., Barry Mortlock and Simon Burrows, have purchased the Rabbit Hole content from Llandudno resident Muriel Ratcliffe, the owner of 20 years. They have launched a new Wonderland website to offer the finest Alice in Wonderland collectibles from around the world, and to act as portal to communicate new Alice initiatives underway in Llandudno. The team is working closely with the local County Council to bring an updated Alice trail to Llandudno. It will be a walking trail with 10 to 12 key places of interest that will depict the connection of Alice to the town. The new age trail will feature high tech interactive activities and will be open to the public in fiscal 2013/2014. Llandudno's existing railway station is also undergoing a major redevelopment. It will become the start of the trail. Mortlock and Burrows' coffee shop, currently housed within the town's large Waterstone's bookstore, is also being revamped "Alice style", which no one will be able to miss since it will be the final watering hole at the end of the Wonderland trail. Muriel Ratcliffe will stay involved in their plans to bring the strong Alice connection back to the town of LLandudno. Ratcliffe explains, "I get phone calls and emails to this day asking if the attraction is still open.""

We had a great time yesterday in Venue Cymru,  we went for a walk in the morning and when I was going past VC I remembered that David Dickinson was there with the team from 'Dickinson's Real Deal' so we popped in for a quick look. There were not many people there and we watched a few deals being done and retake after retake! There are 4 separate dealers sections, each with it's own film crew, several times we were required as extras in the background, afterwards we were rewarded with free coffee & food (no entrance fee either, right up my boulevard  ) After about an hour and a half we thought lets go home and find something to sell, so after a quick sandwich at home (I eat a lot ) we returned clutching valuable antiques   we had our items looked at and 2 were selected to be filmed for the show, the first was an enamelled sign (Lyon's Tea) that I had bought for a tenner about 3 years ago at a car boot, Helen was doing the on screen bit and the dealer offered £60    D) Helen turned to me in the background and asked if that was ok, I nodded in agreement (in my head I was screaming 'YES, YES!!! ) That was a good result!  Our other item was filmed also with er indoors but the offer was not enough so on the 28th April it's off to Morgan Evans,  Anglesey  for auction, we had a good chat with the auctioneer afterwards and we will be putting a few other items into the same auction  D)
In all a great day, cost nowt and a good earner too, David Dickinson is a total professional, going form dealer to dealer filming different deals, he was good to talk to too!               

We received a letter yesterday informing us that the programme with erindoors in it will be shown on Monday afternoon on ITV1 2pm

I shall be in meetings for most of the day but I am recording it with the aid of my Sky+ planner and in HD.

[Merddin Emrys]

erindoors in HD     only joking, she knows I love her really

[Hugo]

I've watched it and recorded it but don't know who was Mrs ME but I did see a husband and wife on it that I go to coffee mornings with.   I must remember to ask for their autographs next time I see them.     

[Merddin Emrys]

Mrs ME was selling the stained glass fire screen

[Hugo]

I thought that it might be her as she mentioned a house move.   You've gone from one beautiful location to another and I hope that you've settled in well in your new home.

[Merddin Emrys]

Thanks, mind you soon we will be moving to Rhos on Sea! only a couple of miles away.

Got my OH to record it whilst I was doing my stint at the Charity Shop. Saw you both-- well done!

[DaveR]

I missed it completely as I was boozing in Fountains!

However, you can see it here on ITV Player:
