Ooooo, 'ow cheeky! Chuff lives in the Welsh answer to Copacabana, H, but without the swarms of armed thugs. You must have heard of it: ♫ ♫ Aberdyfi, Aberdyfi, the hottest spot north of Havana
Music and passion are always the fashion…… Aberdyfi-yfi-yfi ♫ ♫ My ex wife's folks had a holiday chalet there Murph spent many a wet weekend there , towyn is sleepy shall we say 🙂 It was sleepy before the lockdown harry you should see it now!. It's where people go to see how we used to live 150 years ago.

Any of you decided to go all Castaway & grow a beard whilst you're locked inside for the duration??? Yep, and its coming on a treat. Not quite ready for its first trim but looking pretty good. Even mar lady likes it and she's never been a fan of the more hirsute look.

He sleeps in a coffin Oh, nice one, Fel --- he does, too - I'd forgotten about that! Probably brings the woodwork up a treat. (Afternoon, H mwah mwah)

Music and passion are always the fashion…… Aberdyfi-yfi-yfi ♫ ♫ Just this second in from work murph, we were all singing it as we left. 🎤🎶🎺 Excellent! Welllllllllll, talk about 'In with the In-Crowd' - it's where anyone who IS anyone likes to be seen, though, innit, Chuff. Just done a bit of a bossa nova myself at the very thought. (Luckily I'm wearing a Carmen Miranda outfit today - very fetching, if I do say so myself - and I thought it was close enough.) LOVE those graphics, btw. 🎤 🎶 🎺

It's where people go to see how we used to live 150 years ago. Good ploy, Chuff - play its attractions down, especially the corkin' salsa evenings - keep the hoy polloi out. Oh, 'scuse me a min, sudden urge - (**band strikes up**) ♫ ♫ "Tall and tanned and young and lovely…" ♫ ♫ (**step, step back, repeat, twirl, three little steps quickly, swivel hips a bit…..**)
By jove, I needed that.

Avoiding the locals on their mobility scooters is now a form of daily exercise. The Talyllyn railway has been shut for a few weeks which is a shame because it's a magnet for other outsiders. As for the newsagents, don't even go there!!.🤔😳

There is actually, it's called Abergynolwyn but we aren't allowed to go there. 30 years ago when staying In pennel I would go into the little grocers shop where there would be 2 or 3 older ladies speaking Welsh. They would immediately stop talking and give me the stare before ushering me to the front of the queue so I was served and out the door , very unsettling 😲😲😲

Nice enough place but about 70% of the place is a second home to someone. It's even got a Fat Face shop!.Outward Bound centre still going strong, chucking themselves off the jetty when not catching the crabs. 🦀

We stayed at the trefeddian hotel a couple of times . Really nice hotel in a great location. The waitress were like julie Walters character in acorn antiques. Joking apart when the sun shines there's nowhere nicer

My lunatic ex missus used to fancy herself as a hair dresser and got offended when I politely declined her offers to cut it... so one time I took her up on the offer. I came out looking like a cross between Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber and a Lego head that you'd find in your kids play pen. Suffice to say, it's getting long and no fucker is touching it unless it's to bic it... which I'm considering at this point. As long hair, I've recently been sporting the greasy wannabe cultured defensive midfielder look. Found some old tubs of Brylcreem. You know the drill. Was thinking about some brylcreem , wasn't sure if it's still around I found some old tubs from years past. Been having a great time looking like a shit Muniesa. I feel like I could ping a 45 yard pass... Straight out of play.
