Conwy RSPB Nature Reserve

Woke up to a lovely warm morning. After breakfast we headed off to Conwy RSPB Nature Reserve and had a nice couple of hours walking around the lakes and watching a few birds.

Then we dropped into the RSPB cafe and had some traditional coffee and crisps. 

On the way back we dropped down onto the sea-front and had a walk along the promenade. We had a nice Kelly's ice cream on the front before having a steady ride back for a chill at the caravan. 

Every night around dusk hundreds of starlings fly noisily over the caravan to roost in the trees opposite.

We left Mirey Lees just after 9am and headed for our usual Toby Carvery breakfast, today at Trentham Village in Stoke-on-Trent. 

We were back on th road by about 10:45. Traffic was bad today and we were constantly dropping down to 20 mph ish. 

We arrived about 1:30 pm but had to wait until 2 pm before we were allowed to pitch. It is a lovely site with excellent facilities. The only slight downside is that there is not quite enough room between pitches. 

This is the view in front.

After we had set everything up we had a short ride to Tesco to pick up a few bits, then back for a relaxing evening. As we chilled in the van there was a beautiful sunset over the sea.

Lovely day again today. Bit windier this morning but it was a nice warm breeze.
