I haven’t disappeared I have just been working hard and simply not had the time to write anything.  The weekend weather hasn’t been too bad lately so we have tried to get out as much as possible.  This weekend coming (25th & 26th Oct) is the Conwy food festival, which we are hoping to go to.

Above is the web address for this event so that you can get a better idea of what it is all about.  This is the first year we will be going and are looking forward to it as anything to do with food gets our vote.

Just to let you know £8 lets in a family of 2 adults and all children under 12 for the day.  Having read the front page of the website it sounds a great event.

We didn’t get to go on Saturday but went on Sunday and despite the cold and the rain enjoyed ourselves even if we spent a bit too much money – but food is so tempting!

There was plenty to see, a wide range of food, sweets, cakes, ice-cream, bread and other items and we chatted to some lovely people.  After paying our £4 we visited all the tents on the quay before going into the town.  Despite the weather there were lots of people there and it was with a lot of stopping, starting and patience we made our way through the tents on the quay, where there were cooking displays as well as a wide range of goodies.  I was glad to see a lot of local produce about as I try to buy local and it was nice to see what a range of stuff there is locally, so we collected cards and leaflets from a lot of stalls.  It was also nice to sample some of the produce like cheese, milk, spices, curry sauces and different meat – thank you.

I know we missed a few bits as well but we will try and see more next year (and hope the weather is warmer too).  Well done to Vasilly the acrobat, who we saw a bit of as he balanced on top of a pole, we were cold you must have been frozen.

We ate a lot and bought more than I’d intended but we had a great time out as a family and the children really enjoyed being allowed to try new foods.  We were very cold by the time we left but we thoroughly enjoyed wandering around the quay and town.
