Stained glass in a old fashioned shop

There is a shop in the small town of Portmadog in North Wales called Kerfoots. It's an old-fashioned type shop with a bit of everything in it. For the millennium they commissioned this stunning stained glass dome in the center of the shop which you see as you climb up the stairs, if you look up and try not to fall back down the suspended staircase! It depicts the local area and shows the cottages, mountains and landscapes of Wales....Oh...and they serve a very good meal at lunchtimes too.
We have just had 2 weeks holiday and the first week was spent in North Wales, partly to visit the Welsh side of the family who are Welsh speaking and partly just to have a break. Fantastic weather and a cottage to stay in that was OK but not as good as we had hoped. The second week in Derbyshire, however was much better, cottagewise!
Spent a bit of time sewing, alot of time reading and walking too.
