• This New Homepage is running on WordPress, the best blogging software there is. The theme I’m using is called Intrepidity. It makes it easy when setting up complicated things like the rolling pictures at the top. I’ve discovered that I can use WordPress.com to provide me with statistics for the page. The few figures I have are most revealing.

    I’m now thinking that maybe the buttons on the side, that link to other parts of my site, should go at the top and I should reorganise the top part to fit on the side. I’m not sure if people can be bothered to scroll down to find the buttons!

    I welcome any thoughts.

  • This one is quite easy, at least I think so, but then I used to draw pigs quite a lot!

  • 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.
