Himself, myself, a lighthouse and a ferry heading orf towards Ireland. 😊☘️
Looking forward to catching up with this on iPlayer…
Happy Sunday and the 11th day of Christmas to you all. 😊
One of the many sheer delights of #YnysMôn is the joy of seeing badgers, if we are lucky.
This, believe it or not is an 'action shot' of the lesser known sprinting badger... 😊
I really hadn't realised that they can move so quickly.
One of the joys of being on #YnysMôn is being able to visit our favourite places and notice some rarities.
Take this diminutive daffodil. Looks rather cute and is probably one of the most valuable tiny plants.
The proper name is Narcissus asturiensis 'Cedric Morris' and it was found (many years ago by said Mr Morris) growing on the side of the road somewhere in Spain.
Seemingly hardy but it can be a little tricky to get to flower in some places.
Flowers from November to February.
Many and various mysterious objects have been found on #YnysMôn and this is one of the best.
Discovered hidden in a wall not far from the village of Menai Bridge, this stone carved figurine was once venerated by a local family druidic tradition as a kind of genius loci or spirit of the place.
The same tradition celebrated the 6th night of the new moon and would focus rituals around the statue.
Sadly, the family died out, hence the decision to hide it in the garden wall.
Now at Oriel Món.
Farewell #YnysMôn.
It has been so nice to spend a few days on our favourite island.
♥️
Approaching #Ynysmon, and a lighthouse is visible in the distance in the 2nd picture, with some interesting exposed cliffs rearing up from the sea. The first picture of the Snowdon range covered in snow takes me back to my first ever serious winter walk as a student, the complete Snowdon / Eryri horseshoe, with no crampons or ice axe at the time, and leather boots which froze up. To say I was a little bit concerned about falling to my death on Crib Goch would be an understatement, but the pseudo-invincibility of youth held the day.

Nuclear power announcement ‘is not good news for Wales’
"
"The billions of pounds to be spent on developing “small modular reactors” at Wylfa .. would be better spent on insulating Welsh homes and on renewable technologies that can generate electricity cheaper and far quicker, according to the group Nuclear Free Local Authorities."

"the moment #YnysMôn and the whole of #Wales has been waiting for".
No Eluned, the whole of Wales has not been waiting for this experimental shit to be dumped on our land, far far away from Westminster.
And no, it won't create an "abundance" of Ynys Môn jobs. They'll primarily be shipped in from elsewhere. Believe it or not, there are not many experimental nuclear scientists there. Shocking I know.
"#Wylfa #nuclear power plant plans go ahead, creating #Anglesey jobs"
