I’m in Llandudno this weekend for the annual Gathering – some Alarm gigs and themed events around the town. I think that this is the sixth year that I’ve been, I can’t be certain and I’m writing in a rush to get something written before we head out to gig #1 tonight.
I headed out after dropping the children off at school, picked up Lorna shortly after nine at Chester train station and we arrived at about 10:30. Had some breakfast at the cafe around the corner from the hotel (tasty) and then went for a long walk along the promenade and back – and then past the Grand and through a park and back around so that we passed 5k.
It’s cold and blustery, but when the sun is out it is very lovely too. We’ve been here when it’s been worse weather, so I’m not complaining.
We’ve spent the afternoon in the pub looking at websites, google analytics and some wordpress stuff. How much fun can one have when in a Welsh seaside resort? I don’t know, but I think we’re pushing the boundaries.
Tradition states that on the first night we have a curry, and so that’s where we shall go before heading to the first, probably acoustic, gig. I’ll report back tomorrow.
Day 30: 5.42km in 54:39 minutes.
