The northwest coast of Anglesey holds some very precious memories for me, as my wife Liz and I have been visiting and holidaying here since the early days of our marriage over thirty years ago as I write this.
Back in those early days it was in a tent on the cliff edge, braving the elements as best we could while trying to keep our three young children amused as the rain hammered down on leaking canvas.
These days, with the children all grown up now, we tend to holiday in sunnier climes, but we've never lost our love for this stretch of coast. (Nor for each other I hasten to add!)
So when the weather looks good, and we have enough free time to make a day of it, we'll take a drive along the A55 (God's own highway) and re-visit some of our old haunts for a trip down memory lane.
One little beach, not much visited by others but that means a lot to us, is the lovely Porth Trwyn, just a mile or so along the coast from the much more popular Church Bay.
The Anglesey Coastal Path runs past Porth Trwyn, and in early spring when this photo was taken the winter storms had covered part of the beach with small rocks.
Great for foreground interest for this image!
God willing, I'll still be visiting, photographing and writing about this wonderful place for a few years to come yet!
