Explore Trearddur Bay
Trearddur bay is a lovely location to explore, with sheltered coves, easy to climb rocks, and lovely sandy beaches – the history makes it’s own tale – apparently a cemetery was situated on one of the beaches, (easy to dig I guess). Monday in Holy Island, and the house owners leave about midday – and…

Holyhead
Holyhead – what a beautiful location, even if the town itself is sadly showing what are now becoming the familiar signs of deprivation – like so many towns we are seeing on our tour – if the high-street is to survive, surely something needs to change! Anyway – we arrived on Holy Island, Anglesey having…

Stray – Off to Holyhead
Saturday evening – no moon – we are in the kitchen, dining hut, and two odd eyes come to the window – staring in at Annabel and I – a stray had ventured into the farm and was searching around – further back in the dark, another two eyes stare – we have two strays.…

14th March, and with the return of Jolly’s owners – it is time for us to set off to the next location, which is just outside Swindon, near Highworth – in old English, Warde, (enclosure).

Widmouth and Boscastle
A rainy day in Cornwall, so it was an easy day watching waves from the car at Widmouth bay. A quick drink at the Wellington Hotel in Boscastle – an interesting building – the first floor bears the high-tide mark of the flooding that hit Boscastle in 2004. It is impossible to imagine how water…

Castles and Friends
Saturday I had a relaxing breakfast and caught up with some work before my friends from Liskeard arrived. We’d agreed to meet and tour Pendennis Castle an English Heritage castle on the Falmout headland. A relaxing day wondering the old buildings, dodging the showers, and examining the castle’s role in our nation’s defense since Tudor…

Falmouth
Friday morning and I was catching up on a few customers, and met a friend for lunch. In the afternoon I was off to Falmouth to meet some friends on Saturday. Booking into the Falmouth Hotel, I had a relaxing evening just catching up on some work and chilling out in the pool. A peaceful…

Cornwall Bound
Thursday, and I was catching a train to Cornwall to catch up on some work and meet some filming friends. The train journey went well, and I arrived back in Liskeard to some Cornish sunshine. Despite the rain, I was able to squeeze in a few jobs and sell a laptop before camping at my…
