Each May and November, we like to spend a few days on the Welsh island of Anglesey.
It’s hard to say what draws us back, year after year, but there is a certain tranquility and peace about the place.
The hotel we stay at is a former farm, run by a brother and sister who inherited the place and set about making it one of the best small hotels on the island.
We left for home this morning, early, in order to avoid the holiday traffic coming up the M6 to Cumbria. While most of the world was still waking, I took the collie out into the garden for her morning necessities.
And there the sun was, rising over the silhouette of Amlwch church in the near distance. a moment of peace and intensity that I hope never to forget.
The iPhone was not the best tool to attempt a telephoto shot of this nature, but the result had a degree of character. The more I looked at it the more I found it an accurate emotional record of a special moment.

A lovely picture of a place I’d love to see. But how on earth do you pronounce Amlwch?
Thank you, Noelle. It’s pronounced ‘Am-lock’! 😊
Who would know!
The Welsh language is like that! I have no expertise; just a few place names.
