Overheard from a Barmouth local, as the For Mountain, Sand & Sea audience walked past him yesterday:

"What's going on? I feel left out!"

Spend just on hour in Barmouth between now and 10th July, and you'll see exactly what he meant - Marc and the team have made a huge impression on the town, as it has on them.

We had a glorious day for it, and the performance was a triumph. Lovely in particular to meet so many local residents, who added to the atmosphere (and the information) - nodding in recognition, shouting additional facts, or smiling with nostalgia.

Someone who wasn't even from Wales yesterday said their perception of north Wales had been given quite a jolt, which also gives a great deal of satisfaction, though of course you could argue that Barmouth isn't at all representative of the region.

The weather is more uncertain today, which has given the cast and crew its first opportunity to perform the alternative version, which still incorporates the highlights without the prospect of trudging through the rain.

The view of the Mawddach is as spectacular as ever, though, and it's still warm. Come and join us at 3pm in St John's Church Hall, if you can!
