South Stacks Lighthouse

South Stack lighthouse keeps it's lonely vigil on the windswept tip of a peninsula. It's a short drive from Holyhead but a world away from the cluster of shops around a terminal. The air is fresh and invigorating, the coastal views stunning, but best of all, there is another small world at your feet, where tiny clumps of colourful vegetation add colour and texture to the scene.

Shelter can be found from the cutting wind.

Meanwhile, back in town, the high speed connection with Dublin is waiting, just beyond the diminutive houses.

The clouds have all gone, weather fronts rush through this part Wales at a great rate of knots, and now the sky is a Mediterranean blue.

There's an architectural dig going on just beyond the old churchyard.

Holyhead-38.jpg (32248 bytes) A rare glimpse of me working on the show that has brought me to Anglesey: Pawb a i Farn, it's always live between 8.30 pm and 9.30 each Friday for the duration of its run. Holyhead-39.jpg (19307 bytes) July 29th, the show is over, last one of the series. A peaceful scene back at Trearddu Bay.
