Possibly the nicest day of the year, but got up a little bit late to sort myself out for a ride so after some short deliberation, decided that the mountain will have have to wait until tomorrow.

So, what to do? Easter Sunday…hmm, I know..let’s head for the crowds….SEASIDE! Quick trip down the road, & a blustery walk up the pier, & its time to spend some of those 2p’s! Forgot quite how addictive penny drop machines can be. As with much of this stuff, I really don’t seem to have a great technique, so left it to the seasoned pros to drop the jackpots. Wow, do some people take this seriously…you can feel eyes on you as seasoned penny droppers weigh up how much you’ve fed in, ready to pounce if you move an inch.

Was good to see the whole place so busy though…Great British public pulling the v’s in defiance to talk of the credit crunch & completing the pilgrimage to the blustery Welsh coastline. How good is the seaside!? – every section of the community represented to worship daylight regardless of the temperature (myself included!)

Anyway in the absence of bikes & because I’d not followed my own mantra – “ALWAYS take your camera EVERYWHERE” – the search for a cafe was on (it’s all about trails, pictures, cake, or beer right?).
Oh, mission accomplished! Quality cake & fresh juice just to see us through you understand? And so it should be too…flippin’ seaside prices!!! Anyway, enough fresh air, time to head back & get ready for a big ol’ night out – its gonna get messy!
