Lovely shots Russell.
I love Anglesey.
Did you get a chance to visit Plas Newydd....the residence of the Marquess of Angelsey.
The house is fantastic and has a good exhibition of militaria from the Napoleonic wars....and the Battle of Waterloo.
The Marquis of Angelsey from that time, lost a leg at the battle of Waterloo and he was the first man in the world to have an articulated prosthetic leg....wooden of course.
There is also a fantastic trick of the eye mural by Rex Whistler.
The gardens are beautiful and the views from the grounds are spectacular.

I should tell you that I don't get paid for promoting the place ......I just love it!
