Last night was 5th November, the official Bonfire night, and we watched fireworks across the Strait on the mainland from the warmth and comfort of Coed y Berclas: however we are looking forward to Saturday 8th when Beaumaris holds a Firework bonanza which is always brilliant. We’ll be there, in fact Daf will probably be behind a camera as usual: he has produced some brilliant images in past years.
Tonight there’s a full moon but it doesn’t appear until after 10pm. We have recently noticed high tides which occur around the time of the full moon.
We have had some interesting weather recently: on Tuesday we saw the first snow on the tops of the mountains with a stunning blue sky: it looked beautiful. On Wednesday it has all vanished. We love looking over to Snowdonia capped with snow – we like it even better when there’s no snow on Anglesey, which is what usually happens.
Dawn from a rather untidy Berclas main house terrace… bit of gardening to do then!!
