On Sunday, skies in Aberffraw were even brighter than the day before, and the incoming tide was lapping over the road as we left for a morning walk
More blue sky from the front garden where some closely cropped Cotoneaster covered in berries was being enjoyed by blackbirds and sparrows.
Having walked north the previous day, on Sunday, we walked south down a road through the sand dunes, and then on reaching a private, no through road sign, walked across a field on a footpath, hoping to do a circular walk.
Lovely views, but the stile at the end of the field was too overgrown, so a circular walk was not possible
We walked back the way we had come, looking forward to reaching our lovely cottage, it's the orange cottage one in the photo below. Perfectly located.
By the time we got back, the tide had come in a bit more so the previously beached boats were now floating
A blackbird is almost visible on the Cotoneaster in the photo below
There was an interval in walking around lunchtime while Tim watched the Liverpool match, and I walked round the village, this 12th Century church, St Beunos looked fantastic, particularly with the blue sky. It's locked so I couldn't see the ancient wooden door arches inside
In the afternoon we walked to Lake Coron, and tried unsuccessfully to use a stile
it wasn't clear which side of the hedge we should be walking on. We ended up in a field with a fortunately benign bull and some rather lively heifers and walked very briskly back to the road.
Two overgrown stiles in one day. The coastal path is well signposted and kept clear, but a short way inland is another matter. I wonder if it's the same all over the island?
