A very different scene to yesterday, glorious warm sunshine and clear skies welcome you down onto the beach.

However, it seems only the seagulls are brave enough to take to the water.

11am this morning, colour kindly provided by the back of this postbox.

Many thanks for all your good luck wishes, the switchover has successfully been completed!

Today we are switching broadband providers, so I scheduled this post yesterday in case we have any issues getting back on here again.  This image of the sun rising over Llandudno bay was taken last October.

Normal blogging service should be resumed tomorrow…we hope!

A view of Llandudno Pier from the small beach alongside it.  Our photograph shop is the third kiosk along, towards the centre of the image.

Are these goats having a stand-off, High Noon style? Or is the goat on the left telling the others to stop being so silly and come down off the rocks?

Wild Kashmir goats have roamed the Great Orme since the 19th century. These were spotted on Marine Drive, the road that leads around the Orme.  See more pictures of Llandudno and North Wales on our website:  North Shore.

The Great Orme seen around noon today.

Unfortunately the clear skies didn’t last for long!

Seeing as the weather is so grey today, we took shelter in Forte’s, an Italian-style, retro cafe on Mostyn Street.  We valiantly tackled the Extravganza sundae pictured above…and won!

Looking down from the Happy Valley towards the Pier and Little Orme this afternoon.

Taken from outside the shop at around 5pm this afternoon.

A view looking towards Puffin Island, with Anglesey visible on the horizon.
