The double front door opens into the galleried vaulted living room with its oak floor and wood burning stove, to the right hand side an inner hall has a staircase, a store room and a bathroom. On the first floor are a single bedroom and a double with French doors to the balcony and fitted wardrobes. To the left of the main living room is the large dining kitchen with granite surfaces, tiled floors and integrated Bosch appliances. A hall lies off with an outside door, an inner hall has a staircase with a store below and a cloaks/shower room with a utility area and the central heating boiler. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms with French doors to the balcony and a shower room. An access door to the master bedroom leads off the landing and this has an en suite bathroom and a spiral staircase leading down to the cottage lounge/dining room with its wood burning stove and an adjoining well appointed kitchen with integrated appliances and a door to the rear terrace. The rear terrace is perfect for entertaining and features a pizza oven and plenty of space for barbecues.

Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.

  • Anglesey & Gwynedd Jldp (2011 – 2026) Public Inquiry
    ANGLESEY & GWYNEDD JLDP (2011 – 2026) PUBLIC INQUIRY: Hearing Session 6 – NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT Action Point S6/PG1 – General Refine policy wording to ensure consistency in terms of describing the degree of impact, i.e. the use, or not, of ‘significant’. Councils’ Response In respect of the policies pertaining to the natural and built environment, the Councils conisder that this is only an issue for policies PS16 and AT4 and are addressed under Action Points S6/PG5 and S6/PG10 respectively. Action Point S6/PG2 – Paragraph 7.5.2 Present Matters Arising Change to correct the last sentance of paragraph 7.5.2 to note that the whole of Anglesey has been designated by UNESCO as a Geopark. Councils’ Response After giving the matter further consideration it is considered that the sentence that refers to the GeoPark should be moved to the section relating to ‘landscape conservation’ rather than retain it within the section dealing with ‘nature conservation’. Also, it is considered that additional information should be included to explain the reason for the Island’s designation as a Geopark. Consequently , t he Councils wish to offer the following modifications (through Matters Arising Change): 7.5.2 Nature Conservation : Species of principal importance .................. Part of Anglesey is designated as a GeoPark. 7.5.4 Landscape conservation : Covering an area that incorporates the Anglesey Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Llyn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to the boundaries of the Snowdonia National Park, the Plan area has a distinctive and diverse landscape. As well as the nationally protected Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the wider Plan area has tracts of unspoilt countryside that are locally distinctive and worthy of designation as Special Landscape Areas.
