On our way to the second part of our holiday in Llamberis we had every type of weather you could imagine! Gales,snow,hail,and sunshine...we were glad to arrive at the hotel! |
but I still got Bill to stop the car so I could get some snaps... |
Bill relaxing in our lovely room at the Padarn Hotel.... |
couldn't see much of the view when we arrived |
but when the rain stopped it was lovely! |
We went to the Llamberis Slate mines--its free to go in and very interesting-- |
as well as the mines there are some cottages that were moved there stone by stone,,,and done up in different era's..... |
all very interesting, they have all the sounds and smells in the cottages and it really brings back memories of my nans house when I was a child. |
The sixties house was brilliant--- |
reminded me of my mums bedroom when I was a child |
A lovely demo in splitting slate--he made it look easy! |
wow--what a lovely slate fan---- |
the cottages at the mines.. |
Lots to see in the sheds--- |
Love the old windows.. |
some birches to take to workshops,I like folk to have some examples of the real thing.. |
Bill meets Polly-the resident doggie at the craft centre next to the mines.. |
The goats are across the road from the centre |
they are around half way up the rock face---long way to fall! |
the view was just beautiful when the rain stopped... |
the lovely dining room at the hotel.. |
we stopped on the way home to get some snaps of this waterfall--how beautiful! |
