A record of wildlife in my garden and various trips to the Warwickshire countryside and occasionally further afield.

"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

Anglesey
We've just returned from a week on Anglesey - lots of photos to sort before I can do a few blog posts. What a beautiful island - so much history and wildlife and we stayed in a wonderful cottage near Penmon with stunning views.
I will catch up on all of your posts over the next few days or so but apologies if I do not leave as many comments as usual.
I have visited Anglesey twice and enjoyed it both times. In fact I have nothing but great memories of Wales and its wildlife - and I had the best fish and chips of my life in Conwy. Now that's hard to beat!
David M Gascoigne - Thank you. Anglesey surpassed all my expectations - I haven't been since I was a teenager! We stopped off in Conwy on the way home.
Amanda Peters - Thank you :)
Rustic Pumpkin - Thank you - we did discover a lot probably much familiar to you :)
Toffeeapple - It really is worth visiting - we all loved it there. And there are quite a few counties I have not visited in England - Sussex, Suffolk, Northumberland all come to mind!!
CherryPie - Thank you - I went with my parents as a child but only have vague memories of a jet from RAF Valley crashing in a lake near our holiday cottage!

Welcome to my blog. I have been interested in natural history from an early age and we have tried to create a garden attractive to wildlife. I also enjoy reading, photography, collecting fossils, visiting historic buildings and gardens and supporting Aston Villa. Please feel free to leave a comment and, if you would like to email me, my email address is ciraggedrobinsATgmail.com - remember to replace AT with @. Thank you for visiting.

Anglesey is indeed beautiful, and I am looking forward to seeing what you discovered.

It is hard, as a Welshwoman, to admit that I have never been there! I must try to remedy that very soon.

We love Anglesey, there is just something about it! I'm looking forward to your posts about your visit:)
Rosie - Thank you - I thought it would be good but it surpassed expectations and a change to go somewhere new :)
I am looking forward to catching up with your (now posted) Anglesey posts.
Anglesey brings back fond memories of a family holiday there :-)
