Well, whether we like it or not, I think it’s fair to say that summer has truly departed now and we’re firmly into autumn and rainy days are par for the course…
Never mind! We’ve Halloween and Bonfire Night to enjoy so let’s see what the coming week has in store for us:
On Friday the 30th October 2015, Bonfire Night comes early to Llangrannog as they host their annual display by the sea. It’s a cracking display with a bonfire that’s put out by the rising tide and the organisers use the local geography to make it a display to remember.
