Holyhead in Anglesey has a lovely promenade and harbour with open spaces and a beautiful sunken garden. You can choose to walk above by the road with great views across the bay or down at the bottom by the sea edge. We frequently do both, it’s a pleasant circular walk with old-fashioned shelters along theContinue reading “Holyhead Harbour”

The Saga of the Bank Card
by Karen J Mossman Another old one from a few years ago. On the way to our Anglesey to stay in our caravan in the Autumn of 2014, we stopped off for breakfast at McDonald’s. I paid by handing hubby my bank card. As I had the dog on my knee, I couldn’t get itContinue reading “The Saga of the Bank Card”
How Rude!
You wait, mouth still open….?….? ….? You’re gasping to tell the punch line, your heart is racing, waiting..waiting…. “Go,” they say, “carry on.” How rude is that? Well, that’s exactly what it is like waiting at traffic lights. I turned out of my road, sped up, changed into second gear, and about to turn rightContinue reading “How Rude!”
Living on an Island
Karen J Mossman lives on an island in the UK. Anglesey is just off the north Wales coast. She spent all of her life living in a big city where it was always full of traffic. Moving to an island meant she not only lived in the countryside but also near many beaches. Life becameContinue reading “Living on an Island”
My Dogs
These two are Tilly, the Yorkie aged two and a half, and Meggy, the King Charles Cavalier spaniel, aged about eight.

Both dogs taught themselves toContinue reading “My Dogs”

My Little Star, Tilly.
Ark Angels Animal Rescue is based in Chester. This is where we got our King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Meggy, from. She is a rescue dog, taken from a puppy farm somewhere in Wales in June 2018. It was evident she’d had lots of puppies and they estimated her age as four or five. I’ve continuedContinue reading “My Little Star, Tilly.”
Uselessly Smitten!
I went to visit someone’s house the other day in Llanfairpwll, on Anglesey. I didn’t know them very well and it was my first visit there. The houses are new builds, and at first, I thought they were flats but no, they were three storey town houses. She took me upstairs, saying the living accomodationContinue reading “Uselessly Smitten!”
A Walk in the Park?
No, it’s more than that! I’m really lucky to live here in Anglesey, and count my blessings every day. Winter can be a difficult time for us all as the weather turns cold. The coast can also be very chilly with the wind whipping up over the sea. It’s fine if you wrap up warmly.Continue reading “A Walk in the Park?”
