Lein Amlwch. Here's one I drafted earlier - a lot earlier





Full Council voted to support the opening of the Anglesey Central Railway

Not exactly a post





It's so long since I posted that I can't remember how to do it - and I've never done it from W7










Not bad -

Caergybi



I get annoyed when people make unkind remarks about Holyhead.
I love Caergybi because I can buy duck eggs, (discontinued by a well -known food shops because they weren't selling) and other local produce, in the butcher's shop that's close to the Roman fort and the two ancient churches of St Cybi. Sometimes you can get a hot drink from the small building that used to be the chancel of an ancient church - then you can look at the gravestones with well-known local names on them
When I was walking with a stick and couldn't get to my favourite walks and work, I could at least watch, from the Celtic bridge, the comings and goings of travellers ,- and decipher the ancient symbolism of its mosaics and plaques
Against that, it infuriates me that the Eagle and Child has been renamed some dreadful "Bar" title - couldn't they at least have left the sign somewhere, and "formerly"? People used to walk or drive from the ferry,  specifically to see that, before going on their way, remembering the mail/stagecoack link between Caergybi and the other Eagle and Child in Oxford
It also enrages me that it's no longer possible to go by bus from Summer Hill  to South Stack and Twr Elin - not all birdwatchers have cars or can walk from - um - the village where the white bus terminates?
Fair enough, Caergybi  isn't a row of mobile phone shops and fashion shops,gardening and hardware shops and and and - but it's only a short bus ride to all those

UK Asparagus

http://www.fdin.org.uk/2010/05/first-asparagus-from-yorkshire/

Very good too - but I've been buying excellent UK asparagus for M and S and Waitrose for some time - and very delicious it is, at a delicious half-price
