" Theres a Dog in the Pram " Llandudno

Today was a beautiful spring morning. We headed out the door early for our days adventure, As we passed Whittington Castle we noticed a little fluffy head popping out from the nesting swan. The Cygnets have now arrived, We were all very excited so we stopped to look it was so early in the morning there was no one else around as we got to see the new arrivals much better than if it had been later in the day. As we stood admiring the new swan family a mallard swam over with her new ducklings proudly showing off her new family of 8. Time was getting on now so we got in the car and made our way along the North Wales coast (stopping at a Car Boot on the way) to Llandudno.


First we went to the Transport Festival, there are all kinds of different vehicles from motorbikes to motor homes to big lorries. We looked around the trade stands for a while before getting into the transport. Kellyn was very excited He headed straight to the Tractors and slowly made is way around the cars. He is really interested in Minis at the moment and he was not disappointed, there where also bubble cars on display another vehicle which causes interest with all of us. This was Ceienna and Muzzys first show today both of them enjoyed their time out. Ceienna was most excited seeing all the vehicles and really showed an interest in more things than others. Muzzy had lots of fuss and attention at the Transport Festival but caused lots of laughter later on.

After our walk around the transport exhibits we walked along a very cold and windy sea front. by now Ceienna wanted a feed so we sat admiring the views out to sea while the three musketeers Daddy, Kellyn and Muzzy walked along the stoney Shore and Muzzy enjoyed dipping into the sea.

Next we headed into a very packed town we were constantly stopped by people laughing at Muzzy. With him still being so little he gets very tired so he will share the pushchair with the children. This caused lots of commotion and attention with the crowds. We were even stopped by people wanting their pictures taken with " The Dog in the Pram" it was so funny.

Anyway the Victorian Extravaganza was packed and very exciting with live music which we all enjoyed and steam engines something the whole family has a soft spot for and Ceienna thought they were just great.

The day slipped away fast and it was soon time to hit the roads again, so we dwindled back to a sunny Shropshire via our most favourite place in Wales Betws -Y- Coed for a lovely Chip supper. Life just don't get better than this.
