Snowdon and Llyn Llydaw

This vintage postcard shows Snowdon and the lake Llyn Llydaw in Wales, with a few cottages along the edge of the lake. According to the date written on the postcard, it was sent on 5 August 1924.

The message on the back, to "Mrs Capell" of Colwyn Road, Northampton from her nephew "Colin" reads;

"Dear Auntie, We arrived here safe and sound. Having rotten weather. Rained on Sunday, most of Monday and is raining now as I write, with no prospect of it clearing up. Welsh weather (?). However, we have managed to keep out of doors most of the time. Hoping this will find you in good health; and hoping that the fete was a success, your nephew Colin".

On the top right is a red one penny George V stamp.
