Lennons on Bardsey: January 2011
http://lennonsonbardsey.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Final thoughts . . . We left Bardsey on the 21. Our thanks go to everyone who helped us to fulfil our dream and helped us to maintain it for seven months, but especially to our children, Jenny and Mike, who kept the home fires burning and kept up the supply of chocolate. We love you. Also, thanks to readers of and commentators on our blog. Finally, here's a random selection of our favourite photos. Elaine and Jim . . . . Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lennons on Bardsey: Closure in the withies
http://lennonsonbardsey.blogspot.com/2010/05/closure-in-withies.html
Closure in the withies. Plas Withy - regrowth. Plas Withy - freshly coppiced. Cristin Withy - regrowth. Cristin Withy - freshly coppiced. Cristin centre ride - before. Cristin centre ride - during boardwalk building. Cristin centre ride - boardwalk completed (view from opposite direction). I mentioned down the blog, that there were still the lowland withies (Plas, Cristin and Ty Pellaf) to coppice and boardwalks to fix up there. Along the way I ripped my wellies and waders (puncture outfits are not just ...

Lennons on Bardsey: March 2010
http://lennonsonbardsey.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
We did eventually let everyone else have a drink! On a cool St Patrick’s Day evening, the island’s residents met to formally open the re-vamped ringing hut for business. We are all very busy cleaning, decorating, lambing ‘live’, settling in the newly arrived goats and generally getting Bardsey ready for the coming season – hence the soubriquet Dirty Dozen, but once the ribbon had been cut by Steve we were able to find the time to raise a toast to ‘all who ring in her’! Jim decided he would like to mark t...

Lennons on Bardsey: April 2010
http://lennonsonbardsey.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A new sport may be about to take Bardsey by storm; tractor tyre rolling! This afternoon Steve and Jim were to be found practising down at Cafn perfecting their technique in time for the inaugural event. Return match as soon as the tyre is patched and returned to the island! Elaine and Jim . . . . We now live in a gated community! Out with the old . . . And in with the new. We’re now living in a gated community, but not the sort that is socially exclusive. Elaine and Jim . . . . Change in the weather.

Lennons on Bardsey: The sound of silence
http://lennonsonbardsey.blogspot.com/2010/05/sound-of-silence.html
The sound of silence. A strange thing happened today and nobody knew. We have had fog for a couple of days, the fog horn had been our constant backing sound track, and I was quite worried that I might not actually be able to see the island before we leave on Friday. The view from our kitchen door was often restricted to just the front yard. Then mid morning today both the lighthouse and the ship blew their foghorns in rotation, then both fell in to an eerie silence in the white out conditions. The spectr...

OYEZ from the TOWN CRIER. Penkridge Town Crier ringing his BELL and bringing you LOCAL NEWS, Information and comment about our community and the people who make it what it is. Saturday, 8 November 2014. Looking down on Penkridge.

Here it is - what do you think? And here I am thinking about...

Lennons on Bardsey: December 2009
http://lennonsonbardsey.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Here come the girls. Meet the girls; our constant companions and source of much fun. I don’t know their names, maybe they don’t have any, but they live in the pigsty in Cristin yard and emerge mid morning to wait by the gate to come up into the garden. Once there they spend the rest of the day scrounging as much food as possible. They know Jim is a good source if he is filling up the wild bird feeders and follow him around ever hopeful. On windier days they stay in the yard and sunbathe in a cosy corner.
