 This stunning photo, is the best illustration of the presence of goats of Llandudno . Recently the council has rounded up some of the younger goats and the Billy’s of the splinter heard and have transported them to new sites in Bristol and Bournemouth, but the majority of the herd remains intact here with contraceptives administered to the females wild now on the Orme This photo was sent to me by Facebook yesterday. It was dated 4 years ago “today” and was taken at the very last Flower Show   when I was Show Chair and general dogsbody  The lady in the photo was a new exhibitor to the show.

Dad and Paul at Filey in 1949 If my father, Philip, had not died back in 1979, he would have been 107 years old today. If my oldest brother, Paul Philip, had not died back in 2010 he would have been 74 years old today.  They were both good men who embraced life.

This decision has been forwarded to the Bishop and Diocese for them to discuss and to come to a decision. August tends to be a holiday month, so we probably not hear any more until the Autumn. But I will update you of any news. Thank you once again. Regards David Vicar” The vicar phoned me yesterday. He sounded as avuncular as ever and he showed no upset of my referral to him and his sexy young curate of being like Batman & Robin in my las...
