This weekend we took our first trip away to camp with Tom & Joyce & their caravan. Joyce found a lovely site on the hill just behind Conwy, a little inland from the estuary…

This view was just round the corner and some trees from our pitch. There’s a fabulous sweep of the Conwy river just off to the right – properly lovely scenery. Joel & Lily can be seen here with their new friend, who for 2 days we thought was called Noah, but then we found out was called something completely different… which is a shame, because for once Lily actually remembered his name from the get-go!

We arrived on Friday and left on Sunday – Saturday’s short trip took us to Conwy for a stroll around the walls and a visit to The Nice Butcher’s Shop.

Finishing up with an ice cream on the quay. While we were chomping, someone pointed out that there was a monk with a bird coming our way. It turned out he had a friend, who also had a bird. They are from a birds of prey company who have them potter about town talking to the tourists. You don’t see that every day! (click through to flickr to see the picture a bit bigger – you might actually see the birds then!!)
