3 March - Steve, Emma and their son Connor have been unable to return yet to the island which they left in November. They were hoping to be able to go back after the Council and AGM meetings at Criccieth a week ago but high seas and strong winds have prevented the boat from going over. So they are back in Lancashire waiting for the break which will let them get back over to their home.
Thankfully, our new friends and neighbours, the Porter family at Ty Pellaf, the farm, are popping in and putting the central heating on regularly to keep the buildings relatively warm and dry as there is nothing worse than returning in the spring to find everything damp and wet. We are very lucky to have such good neighbours but we all help each out on the island - its the only way to survive. When the farm needs help rounding up sheep for shearing, or to send a load or two off the island in late summer, then its a call out to all islanders to give a hand. Co-operation and caring is the only way to live when you are in isolated communities.
If you scroll down the first page of the Bardsey website, you will find the current weather forecast situation for the Aberdaron area. See if you can forecast when the first boat will be going over.
I'll be back soon.
