I think we may look into basing ourselves somewhere close by as I liked that side of the coast, probably because thw eather was fair. the next day on the other side was awful:) The glamping sounds wonderful. the garden is just inside a door at the end of the main street and comes out at the road at the back, so access both ways:) Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-47033164623877978502019-09-27T00:59:22.014+01:002019-09-27T00:59:22.014+01:00Lovely post & such a gorgeous place to explore...Lovely post & such a gorgeous place to explore.

I've been to the castle several times but never the Castle Gardens so thanks for that, I'll add it to my list. We've rented cottages a few times through Menai Holidays and we've never been disappointed so it might be worth you having a look at them, but my favourite place to stay on Anglesey is the glamping pods at Llanfair Hall. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-4727465045723865462019-09-26T08:39:41.762+01:002019-09-26T08:39:41.762+01:00We are very lucky to live not far from some lovely...We are very lucky to live not far from some lovely places and to be able to travel to others.

We want to return to Beaumaris,perhaps even find a base there for a few days as there was much more to see. I don't mind small spiders but really don't care for the larger ones that come in to the house at this time of year. We do try and get them into the bug pot and put them outside as far away from the house as possible. I don't like all the webs with spiders in them in the garden either I hate the feel of the webs on my arms or face as you walk between plants in the garden:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-5445315324226373712019-09-26T08:33:48.448+01:002019-09-26T08:33:48.448+01:00We did time it rather well I was so glad it didn&#...We did time it rather well I was so glad it didn't rain all day. I thought I might make an awful discordant noise with the harp but it sounded lovely even in my untrained hands. Spiders, ugh - I really don't like them, it's the not knowing where they have gone when you see them and they disappear whilst you are looking for something to catch them with - we always put them outside:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-69182200008110798232019-09-25T18:08:30.133+01:002019-09-25T18:08:30.133+01:00Ha Ha - intrepid spider, perhaps the conkers don&#...Ha Ha - intrepid spider, perhaps the conkers don't work after all.

So pleased the rain stopped for you. It was especially interesting for me to see the chapel in the castle as somehow I managed to miss it!!!<br /><br />I have heard about conkers too and spiders. My son is not keen on them and does have a bowl of conkers in his bedroom although I still see spiders in there!! <br /><br />I really liked Beaumaris - it is very picturesque and so much to see and do. Well done on the eiders :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-75692902544389923522019-09-25T11:10:14.358+01:002019-09-25T11:10:14.358+01:00You timed everything well as you had the castle to...You timed everything well as you had the castle to yourselves for a while and then experienced the peace of the garden afterwards with the sun coming out so that you could enjoy more outside. The chapel in the castle and those lancet windows caught my eye. The harp sculpture invites one to touch it and hear the sounds echo around the building. The garden sculptures are different and charming. I tried the conker experiment to deter spiders last year, but don't know whether it made much of a difference. They're sure to be lurking now that it's getting colder and I'm not keen on the way they scuttle across a room.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-19656046773350793172019-09-25T10:18:56.165+01:002019-09-25T10:18:56.165+01:00It's lovely, I really like the Woodpecker and ...It's lovely, I really like the Woodpecker and Puffin sculptures too!
