Wednesday 3rd October 07

Due to our disturbed night, we didn't wake in time to get the 7.40 train from Llandidno Junction, and as the weather was wet and cloudy, we decided not to go to Snowdon today. We took the opportunity to talk about our behaviour last night, sort out what had happened and clear the air.

Had a good walk in the afternoon into the countryside near Conwy, and this was lovely.

Louise and Guy came over from Denbigh in the evening, for a meal. I know Louise from my first college in 1984, Nene College, Northampton, where I did one year of a B.Ed degree. Lou was in the same hall of residence, Dryden Hall, and the following year, once I'd been chucked out, she and I were neighbours on Cambridge St in Semilong, Northampton, and we were quite friendly. We've kept in occasional contact, so it was really lovely to see her and her husband. We had a couple of glasses of wine and then went to Alfredos in Conwy, where we had a selection of Italian food. Excellent chats.

We explored Conwy again, retracing our steps from last night and getting a bit of extra veg. I made a nutloaf, something K remembers from yonks ago. We planned a trip for tomorrow to Betswy Coed and Snowdon.

Had quite a few drinks this evening and due to this had some differences of opinion and a bit of a troubled evening. We are both passionate and opinionated people and it was inevitable we'd have some heated discussions.

Didn't get much sleep. Did a lot of talking, trying to communicate stuff. Intense times.

My eldest son has an activity week at Bewerley Park this week, so we were up early and he was excited. Gill took them to school, as I had also arranged to spend some time away.

I took a train to Manchester Piccadilly and met up with K who has come over to the UK. We got a train to Chester and then on to Conwy, where we are going to spend a bit of time catching up... we haven't really seen each other for over 20 years, so it promises to be quite a reunion. It was lovely to see her again, especially after so much emailing and Googletalking over the past year.

We easily found the cottage in Conwy, and once we'd dumped our stuff we went to do a bit of shopping for provisions for the next few days. Later we went for an after-dark wander around, the castle well lit up and it's a picturesque place.
