Its a hot one in north Wales this year, more hot than I seem to remember. Summers are getting back to what they should be here. Beaches are packed, well for Anglesey standards anyhow. North Wales is having a bumper year in terms of tourism and all thing’s outdoors. Its so amazing to see the beaches of Anglesey, filled with happy people, swimming, playing in the outdoors and getting some well needed Vitamin D & Sea.

We have been swimming in shorts everyday in Rhosneigr, it has been bliss. Work by day, swim by night. Anglesey beaches have been over flowing with sand castles, sup’s and sailboats, and we think it may last all summer. We have also been BBQ’ing almost every night at home, experimenting with different vegetarian dishes on the beach and at home.

On a little more serious note, while we all are having a bumper summer on the beaches of Anglesey and north Wales, there are others who are having to struggle with day to day needs. Crops are failing, livestock are struggling in the heat an there are fires breaking out left right and centre over our scorched Welsh landscape. We are advocates of BBQ’s and beach fires (if done with the respect and consideration for our environment and others ) however with fire services stretched to the limit an risk to wildlife and peoples homes, we would urge our readers to consider and bbs and fires very carefully and especially not to be doing them in on dues, forests or pretty much any rural land.
