Thanks Victoria,Brenda..Glad you like it..
OMG Kev that picture of the North Wales Holiday camp. Me and m family have had a caravan in Towyn in North Wales for many many years(31). Our First caravans were in ty Gwyn right next to The North Wales Holiday camp.(Their building flash houses on it as we speak). I am around your age Kev and would bet money we would have met up one summer.
My Cousin and I used to bunkin there every single night.those spangly curtains on the stage, The freezin swimming pool next to the pub and Robs arcade with his revolutionary space invaders. 1942. kung Fu. olympic games and later on paper boys. I used to go in with 50p and I got so good on the games that i could be in their for 4 hours on a single machine as the other kids grunted behind me to get on.Oh the memories(I am filling up)
Like Ste H I still have a caravan in Towyn and I have travelled to many of the great cities and capitals around the world. But nothing will ever beat windy Towyn.

For over 20 years now lynnee29, I've wondered about that place plus people we met whilst there. I do remember the pool, there were 2 of them? Freezing cold and full of insects.
The arcade was where I first got my taste for gaming and I'm proud to say I am a first generation gamer, still playing when I've got the time! Those air hockey games - I'd play against my dad and beat him of course!!
Rhos-on-Sea, that was our place. Me dad had a thing for this spot. Every Bloody Sunday when I was a kid, beef sarnys and Wilson's white pop and off we'd go.
Sometimes we'd take what he called 'the low rd.' thru Rhyl, stop at the chippy kitty corner to the fair ground and swill down grease and chips. .
The next week would be the 'High Rd. past the white church at St. Asaph. Then past the Castle to the I.C.I. entrance where we'd stop and consume the sarnys. Then the run by Old Colwyn, Colwyn to the 'jewel' of the coast Rhos-on-Sea. Every Sunday for years was this trip, I collect car plate numbers while driving along, I had books full of them. Jeese how boring it was. Lol.
BobbyMac here's a photo of the small chapel in Rhos on Sea as well as a strange statue thats appeared in the last few years
You know, I'd spend hours in that place, I once fell down the bank there, thru. all the nettles. Beautiful mems. Thanks for the pics. I think most of the rest of the time was spent at the baths, or forte's. . What's that strange statue?
Bobbymac, The white church isn't in St. Asaph, it is in Bodelwyddan west of St' Asaph. Sorry, just being picky again.
You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

Thats right the Marble Church in Bodelwyyddan, a beautiful sight from the A55
I was there in 2005, I am sorry we didn't go inside, I believe it is very impressive, we went inside St. Asaph cathedral, that was very interesting. Next time I am over there I will go inside.
My dads family are originally from that area, my grandparents and some aunts are buried in Tremechion.
