Llandudno seems to be a fantastic place for having a rest and for spending some days or even hours in a different way - full of new sensations and oppprtunities for having fun! I like the atmosphere in the photos, in your lovely sketches and words. You are a good storyteller, Gretel! Thanks for sharing your impressions! Thanks also for the very interesting information about the "Punch and Judy" show, as well as the links! What a family - dedicated to keep the tradition!! The stage and puppets look so picturesque under the grey, cloudy sky!<br />Thank you once again for the beautiful postcard, too!xrossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-9786433307736501022011-08-13T17:47:44.327+01:002011-08-13T17:47:44.327+01:00Oh How fun it is over here at your Blog!

I really enjoyed this post, and thank you for allowing us to experience some of your holiday.<br /><br />Might I also say that your sketchbook is now definitely anointed with your wonderful drawing. I know that strange feeling of actually putting those first markings on the initial pages. Heck, I also know the feeling of wondering why some of the other pages of the sketchbook still seem a bit empty!<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-67933842148042538102011-08-11T22:20:25.208+01:002011-08-11T22:20:25.208+01:00Ive never been but it looks just like my sort of p...Ive never been but it looks just like my sort of place.Thanks for sharing.<br /> xxxLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548006686821838698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-48854829098630378802011-08-11T22:11:43.491+01:002011-08-11T22:11:43.491+01:00There really is no better place to eat fish and ch...There really is no better place to eat fish and chips than at a seaside.
