A shared heritage - The opening of the Menai Bridge was big news in #Ireland - Sir Henry Parnell and some "gentlemen" came on the ferry to #Holyhead for the opening of the "stupendous work". #IrelandWales #MenaiBridge #IrishSea #engineering #transport #Wales 🚢 #Anglesey #YnysMôn #FlashbackFriday

Countryfile - Menai Strait John Craven, Charlotte Smith and Adam Henson reveal how the Menai Suspension Bridge (Pont Menai) has connected people, nature, farming and heritage through the generations.

Looking forward to catching up with this on iPlayer…

Photograph shows a lone fisherman on the Mebai Strait to illustrate a poem entitled Lone Fisherman by Fred Hobbs A morning sea like fractured glass, silver in the first moments of a rising sun lapping softly at the crusts of a sandy beach, deserted by all but one A fisherman, a weathered face eyes straining to see the thin clear line stretching taut across a breakerless surf whistling as the soft breeze passes vanishing into a world below Beneath the surface, a beach less abandoned teaming with silent life radiant with tropical color All, like the fisherman, searching for nothing more than the morning’s sustenance A bamboo rod, tall and defiant arches now to a familiar challenge while the tattered reel screams and grudgingly releases its precious holdings to... A creature struggling to live but doomed to perish in a world it does not know exists
