14th April day 404

Still feeling a little under the weather i had quite a restless nights rest. Waking up around 7:30am the muscles in my legs were seized solid. It was becoming apparent that a break was not only in order but required. Les was already at the station cleaning the tractor. The night before he'd mentioned alex had stopped a couple of nights so i asked if it would be possible to stop another night.

Looking forward to taking it easy and letting my body recover i set off in to town to visit barnacles, paul O'briens girlfriends mothers cafe for a complimentary breakfast. Full English, i guess because they don't do a full welsh.

Fully fed and content i decided to do something unthinkable, sight seeing. To be precise searching for a sculpture of alice. Llandudno as i discovered is where Alice  Liddell whom inspired the children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll spent her summers. A tenuous link admittedly.

After my short excursion i returned to the station to get back to catching up with my blogs and edit another video. While sat in the peace and quiet of the station there was a flurry of activity. A shout had cone in. A man walking his dog on the beach was stranded on a sand bank, caught out by the fast tides. Thankfully after being out for 10 minutes the team were stood down. The gentleman was able to swim with the dog back to shore. It was interesting to see the wheels of the team working in unison. A great insight.
