over the bridge

Our jaunt to Wales started on the Saturday - so if you want to start at the beginning click here first


MONDAY

Over the fabled Menai Bridge to Beaumaris, with a quick cuppa and sandwich in this rather swish tea room, complete with cosy characters.

Mum still sunburned from the beach at Aberdaron yesterday!

 taking a turn about the town

 and a stroll along the pier

 then a step back in time to school (age eleven) for Mike!!  Right next to the castle

first school to go comprehensive in the UK

then on to Menai Bridge (Porthaethwy) down by the quay

 where the old timber yard used to be where Grandpa Hughes worked

and onward to the swish Dylan's where the saw mill once stood

 for delicious Anglesey mussels

 and views of Telford's masterpiece

TUESDAY

All good things must end and Tuesday saw us driving home, but time for a quick stop and shop in Llandudno in the sun!  Lunch at the lovely Hambone Cafe

and a drool over someone's favourite chocolate - monster size - spotted in Marks and Sparks

and that my dear beloved was that - the end of a brilliant holiday
