Red Sunset

 

Criccieth

Saturday 22 - to  Criccieth to see Starlight Player's Snow White Pantomime, but

Covid restrictions forced postponement till end of this year.

Sunday 23 - This stony-faced chappy glowers down over a wall when we go out for a walk.

Monday 24 - Dinner at Dylan's with Dan & Krisie. Postponement of pantomime meant Dan and Krisie were free of their commitments to the show so we dined together every night.

Wednesday 26 - with both Criccieth chippies closed for winter we caught the train for the seaside resort of Barmouth which has a great number of them. 

Unfortunately they too were closed and it was bitterly cold with a cutting wind off the sea. 

So after walking around the town we went into 15th Century The Last Inn pub where, not only did we get a warm welcome, and they did decent wine, but they also had a very good battered cod loin.

Friday 28 - Cold dark and wet again. In the evening we returned to

Dylan's for dinner with Dan and Krisie. We emptied a few  more bottles of Longbeach Pinotage.

Saturday 29 - we drove home, easy drive this time, with a stop at Dobbies Shrewsbury for a changeover of drivers and a scone, and with the M54 open in Birmingham direction.
