Well, was commissioning a boat last week in La Rague and somehow ended up going from the South of France to North Wales in less than 24 hrs (big problem when everyone has your 24/7 mobile, the cheeky so and so's expect you to actually answer it !).
Anyway long and short of it was had dash to up to North Wales to meet a customer on his six week old 39 as some kind sparky (not employed by us I hasten to add) whilst fitting bigum LCD made a hash of his beautiful new American oak joinery, poor guy was so distraught and upset I agreed to shoot up there and see what could be done as quickly as possible and also do the 20 hour post delivery inspection as there was now 19 hrs on her, kill two birds with the one stone sort of thing.
Having met the customer at the Marina viewed the damage, discussed the options and how long it would take to get the new oak panels I decided to whizz up to the sea cat and come home for the week er, (ish). Realising I hadn't actually eaten anything since breakfast and it was now 15.00 thought I 'll get a sandwich and find somewhere along the North Wales coastline on route to stop, admire the view and have my sandwich. Spotted a nice little road that seemed to lead off in the direction of the sea so off I go, up....down....left .....right every which way and don't even ask me to pronounce any names of villages etc I haven't a notion /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Totally bloomin lost I was then, suddenly I ended up here, out of the blue, unsign posted, directions, tourist info or anything (well from the direction I cames from anyway).
What a charming, peaceful place it was, no idea where it was but sandwiches tasted all the better for sitting on the grass along the quayside in the warm sunshine admiring the view, well worth getting lost for /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
Does anyone know where I got lost??? I still don't, leaving I drove up a steepish hill and round a few corners and suddenly I was back on the main road again /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
