Saturday Night Fever

Saturday night (devoted team that we are) saw a group of us get together to have our long awaited "Bunting Party" intent on untangling, repairing and adding to, the wonderful bunting that adorns the town at Feast time. Sara Allardice, Bunting Queen of Conwy, originally spent months slaving away at her sewing machine to create dozens of metres of glorious colourful bunting.
A good night was had by all (great curry Louise!) we did go to bed seeing spots and stripes and the stitching may have gotten a little wobbly after 11pm, but the bunting lives to face another day.......

BACKYARD GARDENING

This year the Conwy Feast is promoting the principle of growing some of your own vegetables and fruit at home – whether you have a big garden or just a window box there will be something you can grow.

In the Trees, Birds and Bees Tent in Lancaster Square we will have a stall with information and advice on how to get started growing a few easy vegetables and fruit in among the flowers in your garden – it isn't necessary to have your back garden looking like an allotment – edible plants will grow very happily among the decorative ones. Herbs will grow in window boxes or pots just handily placed outside your back door.

Come and see us in the Trees, Birds and Bees Tent if you think growing edible stuff is too difficult and we will show you just how easy it can be to get started.

Countdown to Gwledd Conwy Feast 2010

We are now on the brink of our 7th Feast and the event has grown from a couple of marquees and a community hall to fill the whole quayside and town.

The programme is printed, the stalls are all full and you'll be lucky to get a bed in town for the Feast weekend.

We're just hoping for the sunshine.......
