Fireworks to Bring in The 2016 New Year at Beaumaris Castle

On New Year’s Eve we went with friends to the midnight fireworks at Beaumaris Castle. Despite the rain which had fallen across the UK for weeks, the night was dry and mild with only very gentle breezes – just perfect for fireworks.

We stood in the square with all the other revellers gazing up at the perfectly orchestrated display on Beaumaris Castle walls.

Beaumaris New Year Fireworks 2010

Beaumaris fireworks over the castle New Year 2010

This Christmas there has been snow on the mountains throughout and we even managed a couple of flurries of hailstones and had ice on the pond here at Coed y Berclas. Daf took some lovely photos of frost patterns which might become inspiration for a quilt at some time in the future.

However the photo which just had to be featured in this blog comes from the New Year’s Eve midnight firework display on the walls of Beaumaris Castle. The night was frosty and sharp with a clear sky and the most astonishing full moon cast silver blue light, creating strong shadows over the landscape. The backdrop of snowy mountains added to the magical feel as the crowd, dressed for the weather, was thrilled by the display. We really enjoy the sense of community this gathering gives.
