We were away on a day trip this week to Llandudno, Wales for the first time in a good while following the disruption of the Pandemic in 2020 where with different parts of the UK under different regimes habits were disrupted.
We were a bit late in arriving thanks to odd route decision and the first habit change was in getting a meal where the usual haunt of Tribells was given a miss as reports suggested the quality had dropped off so we went to a cafe/restaurant on Mostyn Street near the former M&S shop for cod, chips and Mushy peas.
Given how long I had gone without food it really was a must and it did not disappoint being in thin non greasy batter with plenty of superior pure fish rather than the reconsituted sort served quite warm with a huge pot of tea.
Several shops were visited such the Gift Centre, Boots and the cat rescue shop although like a number towns in the UK there had been changes such as M&S moving to Mostyn Champneys retail park which I used to like to visit for the school wear section and HMV closing its store due to issues between it and the landlord over rent.
I did get to see the promenade and pier with the gift shop no longer with us but with the boat trip excursions around the coatsline still running, busy as ever.
We took a better route back thank goodness in the light rain of the late afternoon.
