Anglesey Day 2 Cemaes

Cemaes is the village we are staying and we spent today pottering about it. The locals are very friendly and everyone seems to have time to gossip with two visitors. Coffee with Welsh cakes and Bara Brith what more could anyone want?  The village has a working harbour, lots of crab pots and a magnificent village hall. I have never seen anything it. Pure 1890s built of brick with tile decoration and a clock tower!!


The beaches are the proper sort with sand and shells and seaweed and lots of rocks not to mention cliffs. And also a surprising number of families. The whole place is a photographer:s paradise. I spent the afternoon, sheltering from the sun, creating a Lino cut.









I wonder what the pork and seaweed sausages are like?

About Me

I am weaver and - -. I dye my yarns with acid dyes, I paint my warps, put fabric collages and stencils on my weaving. I have three looms, a 12 inch wide, 12 shaft Meyer for demos and courses, a 30 inch Louet Kombo which is nominally portable but has a stand, two extra beams and a home-made device containing a fan reed. And last a 32 shaft Louet Megado which is computer controlled, has a sectional warp and a second warp beam and I am the proud owner of an AVL warping wheel which I love to bits and started by drilling holes in. I inserted a device for putting a cross in. I have just acquired an inkle loom and had a lesson from an expert so I can watch TV and weave at the same time. I am interested in weaving with silk mostly 60/2 although I do quite a bit with 90/2 silk. I also count myself as a bookbinder with a special interest in Coptic binding.
