A Trip to Anglesey


Bangor is situated really near the Island of Anglesey. It's about a 10 minute walk away from halls. So it was really great to get over there and have a walk around. I walked through the town on a sleepy and chilly Sunday afternoon. On the straights there are a few little inlets where boats are left decaying in the muddy wash. I put something to practise that i learnt in one of my lectures. I took some [rubbish] pictures of Algae or  as they more commonly known, SEAWEED. Yes i did not know this, but i suppose this is why i am at university. To learn a lot of useless knowledge.

P.s. Seaweed is MACRO algae not a plant.

Bangor


Sorry i haven't posted in a while but i have just finished un-packing. I decided to go on a walk earlier just to see the new area i am living in. It's really great. I have always wanted to live by the sea. Though it's not the kind of sea you want to go for a dip in. Way too cold!

Anyway i am off to sample university life. More pictures can be seen HERE

After a Long Drive...

...it's always great to jump on the beach and soak up the sun. It's always surprising that after a long-ish (3 and 1/2 hours or so) car drive, how cramped up you get. Ok my car is a little rust box and you can't swing a cat in it, but she does do the job excellently. I am going to sorely miss her when i have to sell her.

Anyways, we arrived at our destination safely and decided, while waiting for the key to arrive, to get on the beach and soak up some sun. Well i can't stay still for any extended period of time so we made and my girl friend named...
...Geoff. Isn't he smashing. When we left, we couldn't take him with us but we did keep his nose. It was the least we could do to keep Geoff alive. R.I.P Geoff. Before we left, we had time to make my girl friend some new feet, toesies included!
