Anglesey

Sunday 11th August 2024.

Two of our friends from home, Caroline and Arthur are spending two weeks here on Anglesey in a rather nice bungalow.

They kindly drove to our site from Benllech picked us up and drove us along the coast showing us RedWharf Bay until we arrive at The Four Crosses Pub near the Menai Bridge where we had an excellent Sunday lunch.

After lunch they took us back to the bungalow where we were treated to cake and cream before being chauffeured back to Homer.

The weather this morning wasn’t as good as the previous days, it was grey and we had a little rain late morning. However it soon cleared up and we decided to do another coastal path walk but in the opposite direction. There wasn’t a welcoming village/ pub on this stretch so when we came across a deserted beach we decided to stop and spend time there, walking wasn’t so easy today as it was humid.

There very few people around at all.
A lovely beach.
Would it have been better to have left a rowing boat there as well?

On the walk back I realised that we could see Homer in the camping field.

There’s a very small black circle on the photo.

By the time we returned to Traeth Lligwy our beach we were quite thirsty so we took advantage of the refreshments for sale.

Tuesday 13th August 2024.

The weather today has been a complete contrast to the previous days, very windy and constant light rain showers.

Again Arthur and Caroline picked us up today and we made our way to Anglesey Agricultural Show, as it was day one I think normally it would have been rammed but I believe the iffy weather deterred some people today.

There were lots of fine horses and there was a stand where we could have sat down and watched the events.
The cute Highland Calf was half buried in the straw.
Just a few of the fine specimens of pigs.
I was rather taken by the tractors and agricultural machinery , Cal and Art in the bottom picture.

After lunch, pork for three, lamb for one, sorry animals, we were driven to Beaumaris where we had a drink in a cafe. Art then drove us further out along the peninsular towards Puffin Island and then back to Red Wharf Bay before being returned to Homer.

A huge thank-you to them both for their hospitality and taking us to places that wouldn’t have been easy driving Homer.

Tomorrow it is the return journey back through the Welsh mountains and then to prepare ourselves for The European Tour starting in September.
