Yesterday morning I said goodbye to my daughter at the hospital in Bodelwyddan, 
on the north coast of Wales, where she will be the next 3 months, doing an 
internship. My flight home from Liverpool was in the evening, so I drove west, 
all the way along the north coast and across Anglesey, ending up in Holyhead. 
As I was walking around the town, I happened on this church, apparently founded 
by St Cybi, cousin of the patron saint of Wales, St David. There has been a 
church here since the 6th century, although of course the current structure is 
much more recent:

I went inside:

There were some interesting details:

But as so often happens when travelling, it is meeting the people that makes a 
place special. These two volunteers (stewards, they call themselves), show 
people around and explain various features of the church. They were with 
someone else when I came in, so I just looked around on my own (which I prefer 
anyway). But as I was leaving, they approached me and apologised for not being 
available, and asked where I was from—a simple question, the answer to which is 
complicated in my case…So we had a nice chat and at the end I got them to pose 
for me:
