With traffic clots in Uxbridge Square as unfathomable as ever, I decided to take the scenic route through Menai Bridge, along the waters edge and under the bridge to the Anglesey Arms. Down there beneath the mighty iron girders and suspension cables life looks entirely different; one really does 'feel the poetry.' There's a definite sense that two lofty giants straddle the Menai Strait, commanding the swirling blue-green waters beneath their feet ... felt like nothing more than an ant in the bushes to be honest!
This shot proves that height isn't necessarily an advantage. For those of us who are vertically challenged this image is a reminder that people who look down upon life may possibly see someone passing by - but might never catch a glimpse of the journey that they are taking.
Oh yes, and for anyone who says that shortcutting is for lazy buggers ... Wrong!

It's common knowledge that Anglesey beaches are sprinkled with bits of old pottery, but these pieces of green & white have been turning up regularly on the Menai Strait around the area of the Glyn Garth flats and I've been intrigued as to why they are there. I've been searching for years for some information on the initials FHA. Suggestions have been everything from Federal Housing Administration to Floppy Hat Association. Then I discovered this old photo in a junk shop in Rhyl.
