๐Ÿ“ Ynys Llanddwyn

Die kleine Gezeiteninsel Ynys Llanddwyn ist nur bei Ebbe mit Anglesey verbunden. Ich hatte mehrere dieser #Holzpfosten auf dem Inselchen gesehen und fand die mysteriรถsen walisischen Schriftzeichen total faszinierend. Bis ich dann gerade beim Nachschรคrfen festgestellt habe, dass da einfach nur der Name steht. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Im Hintergrund seht ihr den Leuchtturm Tลตr Mawr und ein groรŸes Kreuz, zu dem man hinwandern kann. Auf der Insel befindet sich die Ruine der St Dwynwen's Church, die als Schutzheilige der Verliebten verehrt wurde โ€“ quasi die walisische Valentina. Nach ihr wurde auch die Insel benannt. Wenn ihr mehr Fotos sehen mรถchtet, klickt mal auf das Hashtag der Insel unten.

The small tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn is only attached to #Anglesey at low tide. I spotted several of these wooden pillars on the island and was fascinated by the mysterious Welsh script. Just now, when I was sharpening the image for the post, I realized it simply reads the name of the island. ๐Ÿ˜‚ In the background, you see Tลตr Mawr Lighthouse and a tall cross that you can walk to. The island is named after St Dwynwen, patron saint of lovers, so basically the Welsh St Valentina. Her church is just a ruin now, but it was a popular pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages.

I'm not trying to show off or anything, but I just came back from a dip in this river pool to cool off. Fresh, crystal clear mountain water at sunset... it was absolutely magical. โœจ

Abandoned UK village 'entirely drowned' but ruins reappear during hot weather

Here's a #MotoringMonday x #MountainMonday mash-up. I decided to leave the windshield frame in because otherwise it might have been confused with a #FootpathFriday... But, nope, that sweet little lane is a two-way road in Wales.

I have been researching my family tree for the last few years now, & although it is for mostly academic reasons, it has certainly explained a few things to me.

My strongest DNA compatibility is for #YnysMรดn and #NorthWales, which makes alot of sense because we both love the place so much.

I have located possible former relatives in #MenaiBridge and also near #Llangefni. This family line then splits between the island and the #Conwy valley.

So, looks like I'm half #Gog!

Exciting stuff! โ˜บ๏ธ
