We headed for Branwen's gravestone. Alec had goggled it and we hoped the farmer hadn't planted any tall crops in the meantime. We waded through a field of grass and found it. Yeh, Google.
Next we went to the very edge of the island and looked toward Ireland - where Branwen went after she married the king.
They were having a fund raiser for birds so I added to my hedgehog collection.
Then we went to the Halen Mon sea salt factory. It obviously was started as a way of creating jobs in the area. The founders had had a sea food distributing business that segued into a sea zoo. That was too seasonal, so they started the salt works. It is small and all the packing and salt skimming are done by hand. At the end of the tour, we had a salt tasting. It is interesting how different they can be.
Dinner at the Y Branwen. We had tried to stay here, but the were completely booked for a ladies international golf tournament.
We started with tomato soup which tasted like thinned marinara sauce.
Most of us had fish & chips with mushy peas
Bangers & mash. Branwen loves mashed potatoes. She is in heaven here.
Toberone tart for dessert.
We are staying in a farmhouse tonight. Finding it in the dark was a treat. The ROAD to it was 2 tracks with grass in the middle, then we turned into the drive which was even more problematic. But we made it. The lady was happy to see us. I think she was worried that we weren't coming.
Family room had bunks, but since my room had twins, Calder came in with me.
