Scotland is supposed to be having a heatwave in the next few days.
it's been rather miserable the last few days so fingers crossed we can start to look out the suntan lotion.
Nice day here yesterday but very rainy and dull today.
I hope it brightens up, I bought sunglasses yesterday.
I was in Llandudno today and the temp was around 18.
Sea mist was coming in fast and swallowed the Great Orme by 4pm.
By 6pm the whole town was fogged out.
By six we couldn't see any of this.
High street...

Not much of anything really except hotels pubs and food and 365 days of the year
parking can be very difficult.
The parking spaces throughout the town are mostly filled with Mercs Beamers and Volvos.
The many hotels are packed most of the year and no one ever really figured out why.
The high street is full of all manner of shops like high streets used to be.
Rents for shops are high and demand for space still outstrips available rentals.
The hotels and their bars and clubs nearly all have lots of staff living in like the old days...
great little town.
I'm there quite a lot for reasons I won't go into here but fantastic place.
The hotels are full of repeat bookings year on year so it's not like they don't know there's bugger all there.
It it is good base to explore Wales from though and come back at night to food alcohol entertainment and a comfy bed.

I think there's a lot of demand for places that are scenic without much going on.
Especially for those of us that live in big cities.
We like to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Very warm here yesterday and it's too be a scorcher today.
I took Shorty out early before it gets too hot and before we run into gangs of football fans.
I still saw a few but that's okay, they were on their own.
Very warm here!!
Scottish people weren't made for this heat.
Madders would probably think it was cold though.
Managed to get some flowers in, fingers crossed we don't get a late frost.
