It does look a bit like that one but it isn't.        It is on Anglesey and so you could say that it's an island on an island, but what is it called?

Well done Hugo. This building is crammed full of knitting wool for sale. There are several different buildings which are attractively arranged like a small village. The largest sells fabrics and another one sells craft and hobby items.
There is also a nice looking cafe and access to the coast path and the grounded ship.
A fascinating place and thank you suepp for the original recommendation.

I am surprised that you could stagger out of this place, knowing your penchant for crafts and knitting. !! ;D I have to put a padlock on my purse when I visit there, as I always find something fascinating !

Yorkie's guess is that it is Mouse Island but not sure which of the three it is.   ZXZ

a very good guess Yorkie and you are pretty close but that is not the name of the island in the photo.    $walesflag$    $wales

We had a nice walk to the island yesterday and then walked on top of it as you can see in the photo.      $walesflag$

Could it then be  Llanbadarig island which is a recommended walk?    :D

Another good guess Yorkie but I'm afraid that it is not correct.

Does this photo help?

            After having another look at your latest photo Hugo, I reckon that is the Skerries in the far distance which makes the island "Ynys-y-Fydlyn", which is just south of Carmel Head on the North West tip of Ynys Mon, and I believe that there is a lot of maritime history there. I have done the circular walk to Carmel Head from Cemlyn Bay past the "White Ladies" but never walked further round as the car was back in Cemlyn.

Well spotted Gwynant, it is Ynys Y Fydlyn.   We had a coastal walk from Church Bay (  Porth Swtan ) to Ynys Y Fydlyn and then returned via some country lanes.

 &well&

Hope that your hip operation is continuing to improve and I forgot to mention about two friends I know who had the op.     One was a lady of 71 who was able to play badminton again after a couple of months. The other was the son in law of a guy that I used to go walking with and the son in law who had had two hip replacements and this guy both walked up  Kilimanjaro together.     $good$

Yorkie,  Ynys =  Island   $walesflag$     but it's a bit like Llanddwyn Island and is only an island on certain high tides

I find it necessary for me to cry, "FOUL,"
I was there at low tide so it was just like a pimple on an elephant's backside!

And, Thank you for today's Welsh Lesson, it is all being absorbed.   :D ZXZ

Going by the colour of the Gate, Portmerion or the garden that they own at the bottom of the road to Croesor.

Nice try ME but it's not correct.    It's a lot further North East.    $walesflag$
