Travels of The Six Week Coat Go On

Something out of the ordinary has come my way, a night out at Tre-Ysgawen Hall, Island of Anglesey. Down a wooded path near Llangefni, sits a grand old house, with a history since 1882. Surrounded by secluded woodlands and set amongst landscaped gardens it is not an everyday find. It has been a family home, and now a very extra-ordinary venue and restaurant.
A wedding was in full flight, with guests and wedding party invading nearly every corner of this grand house. In the bar we enjoyed a canape with our drinks. And that was just the beginning. I was allowed to stay with K.
The restaurant was glorious with chandeliers, paintings, ornate decorations, elegant furniture. We sat near a window and watched the moon sail through the clouded sky (through the south). The meal started with Amuse Bouche and ended with Tea in the Library.




The following day I was packed into the back seat and driven to Holyhead via South Stack. There is a very dramatic view of the South Stack lighthouse from the cliff tops, just before you get to Holyhead ferry terminal. After dropping the rental car off at the drop off point, the car unpacked, K turns around and sees a familiar face, Jane from Drws y Coed! Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather! Hands behind her back a smile on her face. What have I left behind? says K.
My friend, the blue cashmere wrap has been attempting to stay behind at Drws y Coed the whole time we were there, but has not succeeded. J found her and has brought her to us.


Crossing the Irish Sea was not much fun. It was rough, later that evening further ferry crossings were cancelled. All I could see, and you can see I had a fine view, was water above and below. 
Arriving at Two Rooms in Dublin was a great relief, a lovely rest in the old wardrobe was just what I needed.
Further adventures in Dublin to follow.
