Holidays spent in Wales as a child.

Mowhawk I was there that year too with our twins. Pete couldn't come as he had to start his new job at Ansells so Mom and Aunt Floss came instead.

For 6 consecutive years when I was a child in the 1960s we spent the first week of August on our summer family holiday at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales. Rooms were fitted out as basic self-catering accommodation i.e. beds and a calor gas hob. It was a fantastic place to holiday as a boy, and I loved it. It has now found fame as the location for this year's "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" TV programme.Abergele Gwrych Castle 9.jpg

Here`s hoping they will stick them all in the dungeon & do a live show when they are let out after a few weeks on bread & water ( maybe a jam sarnie on Sundays )
 
mw0njm : As you might imagine, there were always other children spreading rumours about a ghost .... but I was more scared of the jellyfish in the Irish Sea !

Not being a fan, I would be quite happy for all of them, AND the production team, be kept in the dungeons for good
