Really great pics. - congratulations and thanks for sharing them.
I agree fantastic pics.
Llandudno seemed to come off lightly compared to other areas along the coast.
We have to give the council credit to starting the cleaning operation this morning.
Yes, full credit to CCBC for getting the entire Prom cleared of stones by late afternoon.
