10.15am on my walk around the Great Orme this morning.
This is just about the highest point of Marine Drive and myself and the Great Orme Tour bus ran into this quite heavy flurry of snow. Twenty minutes, later when I got back down to sea level, there was no snow to be seen.

I’d expect Miss Marple to be on that bus! It looks rather 1950-ish! I wish Agatha Christie had written such a book, with Miss Marple sleuthing away in Llandudno! Makes me wonder: Are there any good novels set in Llandudno that you know of?

There is a short comedic novel written in 1911 by Arnold Bennett called The Card (Denry the Audacious in the US edition), which is partly set in Llandudno. In 1952 it was made into a film of the same name starring Alec Guinness and Petula Clark, well worth a watch!

It’s not just that it’s the coolest bus ever; it’s the complementary background and composition of the photo that make this a keeper.

Oh, wonderful! Both that old bus and the fact you braved the hike on a flurry-filled morning:)

Wow I love it. You can just imagine finding a postcard with this picture in a charity shop. You could honestly imagine this being taken in the 50′s. Brilliant, one of my favourites of yours.
