Colwyn Bay

So Telford was wet and rainy, therefore Daddy very kindly drove us to sunny Colwyn Bay so we could see Grandpa at work during the towns' annual uke festival.

Grandpa didn't know we were coming and was surprised when the grandchildren came rushing into his pop up shop.

The children were thrilled to be able to "help" Grandpa, and kept saying;  "wow, Grandpa is famous" as they realised just how much of a renowned luthier Grandpa is among the Uke world.

They enjoyed playing the  beautiful instruments Grandpa had on display, although Nanah was understandably slightly nervous about them holding them as the total price of the instruments in the photo would buy me a nice car!!!

So that Grandpa could get on with his work we took the children for a walk by the beautiful beach. Colwyn Bay has some impressive coastline!

To thank Grandpa for letting us gate crash his party, we took him and Nanah out for dinner to a fabulous Indian restaurant recommended to us by the festivals' organiser.

We are so proud of you Grandpa Howlett, thank you for letting us be part of your day xx
