I was so excited when I finally found this little shop after wandering around the time zone that is Afflecks Palace. This place sells all the favs from dip daps, nerds and wham bars to 10 flavours of bon bons, midget gems, pineapple cubes, lager tops and so on and on and on and on..... all priced at 75p per 100g! They should change the saying from "cheap as chips" to "chip as the sweets in Retro Sweets in Afflecks Palace". A big surprise was the selection of Wonka sweets available. I have only ever seen a few varieties in Selfridges but this was just simply amazing! I can't even remember the names of them there were so many! We came away with a bag full of sweets for only £4 and were well happy! :) Shall be my new fav sugar haven.

We took the train from Barmouth here (which was a beautiful ride) to this small beach town. Whenever I see a sign that says homemade ice cream I make a beeline for it. We stopped in here after lunch at a pub down the road a bit. The line was out the door and that is never a bad sign. We both got cones and went and sat down near the sea to enjoy them in the sun. Good quality ice cream on a warm and sunny day. Never a bad thing.

The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because I'd love it to be bigger!
