so sad , they say the romans brought progress and civilisation to britain, try telling that to the ancient britons , they would have been happy to be left alone.
a beautiful piece of coastline about to be destroyed and industrialised but its ok cos there`ll be plenty of jobs , yeh right , that makes it ok then .
beware , the jobs won`t last for ever but the coastline will never return .
the peace and tranquility of the mother of wales has been sold for "a few jobs " .
Have sent the film cestyll garden,s as a video response, When I was at Wylfa Visitor,s Centre I asked about Cestyll, But No one could give me an answer as to what would become of this magical garden. But! they all shared my opinion on what a lost it would be to our culture, . Its is a fine, living work of art...to rival any.
Hi yeah jimsim !! Thanks for the video response! Cestyll would be a huge loss, the ghosts won't let things happen to that place though :)) , I will get there soon , I love watching your video . There is also a SSI near a farm called Ty Croes , if you know it, surely that is safe .
I saw Cestyll, the house, being demolished - I worked at Wylfa. It was an emotional moment.
I hope the gardens have been kept. They were beautiful - even so close to the power station.
As sad as it is to see an 'ugly' power station, surely it's better to see jobs, and the hope that if my children choose to stay on the island that there will be work for them...
Seeing such job losses now, it will be a relief to see a Wylfa B. However, it will probably be too late for my children...
I'm with you there 100% this isn't progress .The Saddest word in the english language is resigation but that is the feeling now, My family have been farmers there since Edward the first was still in nappies and now I have come to the realisation I can waste my breath against it, or appreciate things while they still stand , because like it or not it's going to happen . Go to Anglesey and see the place , it needs help, it's on its backside...and unfortunately this the big ugly lifeline.
Appreciate it, live it and save it. Destruction only happens when people do nothing and accept their lot.
I have been to Anglesey / Ynes Mon, it is a rather remarkable place; but my flabber was gasted when we went to Llanfair-p-g and everyone was at the shopping centre rather than the station. Says it all really.
I recommend "Real England" by Paul Kingsnorth for some genuine inspiration (or my humble book "Time's Up!" for some more radical action).
Thanks for the video, it's very good !!, and SoH seem to have this knack of hitting the nail on the head often ...I have stories to give them that would extend Country Life by about 20 verses .
Brilliant video, Trish, and brilliant info/comment too...I can feel the anger coming off the page there...Well done!
Personally, I think that as a species, we've lost the plot. HOW can we replace such beauty with such ugliness, in the name of progress. We have so very much to learn.....Good to hear Jenna again.

Theres been a nuclear power station there for years, and it hasn't hurt anybody. They're just de-comissioning it and rebuilding it.

This is *not* progress; global destruction in the name of a culture that only values what makes money is anti-nature, anti-human, anti-future.
"Jobs" is the most dangerous four-letter word.

Thanks for the heads up on the books, K.
Unfortunately as Mr Knightley put's sooo well.... this is other story of Country life.
Ynys Mon is a fantastic place.

Ok, I spelt it wrong. I'll post a response you might like.
