New Year Starts Here...


After a round trip of over a thousand miles to visit family and friends for Christmas it was with some relief to arrive back on the island, but only to be confronted with some of the worst weather we’d seen in a long time. No golf, no kayaking, but when the winds died down a little and there was a break in the clouds on went the walking boots and the waterproofs and out we went onto the cliff tops of Holy Island overlooking the wild and raging Irish sea. The walk from Porth Dafarch along the cliff path all the way to South Stack is a good couple of hours, but a great way to stretch those tired and lazy limbs and to get all the fresh air you could hope to breath.
I think next Christmas we’ll be sending out the invites for everyone to come to us.

Happy New Year to you Paul. As ever, your photos are outstanding. If you get time and you are near Point Lynas, I would love to see a photo of that. In the early twenties a Welsh painter called H H Williams did two paintings which my Taid commissioned. One my cousin has in Glan Conwy, which is of Point Lynas and the other one is of the farm, my Nain used to own called Tyn-Y-Coed at Pen-Y-Sarn near Llygwy. When my Nain died in 1958, Taid sold the farm and the 75acres of land with it for...£1,500 (yes fifteen hundred pounds). I think the painting of the farm is now worth more than the price he got for the farm! All the best to you. Hugh
