“It was a hot sunny day, the sky was intensely blue, and there were wonderful views of the Anglesey landscape and the mountains of Eryri and Llyn. The hedges were a mass of hawthorn blossom, and the churchyard was full of bluebells and campion.”

We held our AGM last night, followed by a excellent and amusing talk by Arwyn Owen, 'Anglesey's Hidden Prehistory', about his PhD work tracking down previously unknown prehistoric sites. Would you like to join the society? Details at www.hanesmon.org.uk/aaswp/member...

The officers and committee members of the AAS gathered yesterday to celebrate Frances Lynch Llewelyn MBE, who is stepping down as our chair after 13 years. She first joined the society in 1964 and has been at the centre of our activities ever since. She will still be very much involved, though!

A 3-minute clip of the Irish Mail Boat docking at Holyhead in 1898. Both my grandmother & then my mother were sent from Dublin to boarding school in England, travelling alone by boat and rail - my granny mentioned once the delight of seeing the welcoming lights at port at the end of a crossing
