Longbows indeed... the tree gifted me a nice section of bark... just lying there on the ground to have as a memento...
Anglesey, or Ynys Môn in Welsh, is also home to RAF Valley, one of the UK's training stations for high-speed yet-pilots, but only saw some of the Hawk trainers (Red Arrow's use them) on the way up to where we were staying...
First place we visited was an island off the island, adjacent to an historic bridge with a church with an unknown origin... no one knows who built it or why... but it is part of the name of what I call "that place" as the name is so long (2nd longest place-name in the world) they have reduced it to a third for the two-line road signs...! The church is dedicated to a Saint Tysilio...
I thought it might be a humorous image when I found this old and remarkably small slate gravestone in a remote corner of the graveyard hidden by a tree, because of the initials on it, but Roshina noted it was probably for a stillborn child... '02...? 1902, or 1802, or 1702... not known... definitely not 2002...
St Tysilio's has a fine stained glass window...
A specialised Hercules (MC 130, probably USAF) gave us a demonstration of some low-level flying through the Menai Straits... and I mean pretty low...
The Menai Straits and the Thomas Telford designed suspension bridge... that's Snowdonia and Mount Snowdon in that range in the background... the highest range in Wales... you can get a steam train trip to the top...!
This is what Roshina calls a "Nelfie" (Nala selfie...
) and me with her vicious beast of a dog outside the renowned railway station at "that place...", and yes, I was sad enough to buy a "souvenir" platform ticket...
