Having had what felt like endless weeks of unseasonably warm, excessively wet, and irritatingly windy weather here in the UK, I wasn’t expecting much from the last weekend of November in North Wales. With this corner of the UK not known for its propensity to deliver suitable holidaying weather, I was well up for (and would have been quite satisfied with) a couple of days sat in front of a roaring open fair, quaffing ale, and talking nonsense with my mates.
