The Llangollen Balloon Festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday August 30-31.


The impressive ruins of Castell Dinas Bran command spectacular views of Llangollen.


I WOULDN'T say I was an outdoor type but I do enjoy walking when the weather is nice.

In this country it's a bit hit and miss, but I remember being blessed with some rather fine weather while on a short break in Llangollen some years ago.

I'm Not Alone

The Tutankhamun exhibition at the O2 in London finishes on Saturday, August 30.

The Terracotta Army exhibition at the British Museum has now finished but you can always take a trip to China to see the real thing now the Olympics are almost over.

The London Eye is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.


EARLIER this year I went on a four-day trip to London with my family. I haven't been since I was 15 years old so as my son is now that age it seemed an appropriate time to go.

We had booked the Tutankhamun exhibition at the O2 and also the Terracotta Army at The British Museum but these weren't the only trips on the itinerary.

In fact it was a bit of a whistle-stop tour which wouldn't have been complete without a spot at a London shoe shop.

I'M off on my summer holiday soon and so I've got to start thinking what shoes to take.
Obviously, I can't take too many as there's no room in the suitcases, but one pair would never be enough for me.

It Must Be My Friendly Face

A pair of white sling-back heels similar to the one's I spotted.


I DON'T know what it is but whenever I go out to the shops people start talking to me.
It doesn't even matter what type of shop it is - supermarket, clothes shop, grocer's - customers always talk to me.

The Same But Different

ON the whole my shoe collection is very varied. It's fair to say I'm a high heel girl at heart but I do possess some flat shoes and even some of those toe thong types although these always seem to give me blisters!. But I confess the majority are heeled court, open-toe court and sling-backs.
