I was thinking if I was approaching the Conwy Tunnel and it was blocked there are a million detours inland. But then I realised that those were the places that were being deluged by floodwaters like Llanrwst and Llanberis. And I expect people in Beddgelert are building arks.

No escape from Mother Nature today :-(

Do people still hoot in the Penmaenbach tunnel? Or has that tradition stopped now?

still hoot in the tunnel John, but not many follow suit these days,
i remember when we still lived in liverpool but come to Anglesey for holidays,we used to beg dad to hoot,and he always did,everybody joined in..

Anglesey has been quite calm today,some hailstones and rain,but nothing like yesterday.

im taking my mum and daughters christmas shopping tomorrow in llandudno. but checking the daily post web site first.
:-D

Glad that things have eased Suzanne :-)

thanks Allan

how are your small furry animals? are they looking farward to christmas???? :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Yes they are...poor deluded things that they are :-D

Chap who lived in Llanfairfechan was hopping mad today. Becuse the 55 was closed at Conwy for 12 hours, people living in Penmaenmawr, Llanfairfechan and Aber just could not get home and had to find accomodation in places like Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. He has not been able to get home a few times recently.

Quite a stink about the poor drainage on 55. And he demanded road be upgraded as a matter of urgency.

The Romans ran a road in a pretty direct straight line from Caernarfon to Rhuddlan? and on to Chester. Straight over the mountains (Carneddau, I think). No pussy footing round that narrow coastline 2,000 years ago. :-D ;-)

Suzanne, i sjould have mentioned that I will have to go very shortly.

We are having a garage sale this morning starting at 8.00am, but people very often turn up an hour earlier despite the advertised start time :-|

ok Allan,.
im getting off to bed in a min,been on the wards from 8am today ,and taking the girls christmas shopping tomorrow in llandudno(we hope)

good luck with your garage sale,let me know how you get on.

:-D :-D

It had better be ok for Llandudno tomorrow Suzanne because that is where I work. I know it is only 4 miles away but I have no intention of hoofing It. Tried that the Winter before last, got as far as Deganwy and thought "beggar this" and went back home :-0.

Libby My grandma lived in Rhos ( Llandrillo-yn-Rhos). She always wanted to live in Mochdre because it was one penny ha-penny on the bus or tram (presumably to Colwyn Bay) and tuppence from Rhos.

Used to love shopping in Llandudno when we lived in Llanddulas :-D

the garage sale went well, Suzanne. Will PM you :-)

Just seen this thread...I was also on the A 55 on thurs afternoon on way back from Manchester after a week in Guernsey with family
It was extremely windy on M 56 and scary there,but got to Queensferry and visibility,heavy rain and wind was awful...however got home safe and sound as I don't live as far as Conwy...was I glad to see my turn off.

glad to say it was ok in Llandudno today,and we had a good time shopping.

Libby
did you get to work? where do you work in Llandudno?
