On Wednesday I visited playshcemes in Penmaenmawr, Llanfairfechan and Abergele Library in the afternoon. On Thursday I visited Colwyn Heights playscheme, Colwyn Bay Library and Rhos on Sea Playsheme too, reading stories and and showing the children (and adults!) how to draw the characters. In Penmaenmawr i took some video to show all the different and wonderful versions of Viking Vik that they drew, but I’m still getting to grips with my new iPhone, so I filmed it all sideways by mistake!

I’ve not visited a play scheme before, so wasn’t sue what to expect. I had no need to worry as I had a great time and a warm welcome wherever I went.

I’ve stayed in Llandudno a few times, but this time I was a little East in Rhos on Sea, which seemed quiet for the height of the staycation season. I doesn’t have a sandy beach, which I suppose is what draws the crowds. I had a lovely time rootling around the rocky shoreline of the little harbour, where I found all sorts of interesting stones to bring back and add t my seaside collection. Perhaps I should a feature on it one day?

Many thanks to Margaret and Kathryn, who looked after me and organised everything to go so smoothly.
