Blue sky thinking

The skies over Bardsey are often streaked with contrails from passing aircraft heading to Ireland and beyond. They fan out over the Irish Sea and sometimes provide stunning sunsets. However, it has been quite lovely without them; we have been blessed with very blue skies and the lack of white plumes has added to our sense of isolation. Whilst feeling for those inconvenienced by the volcanic out pouring from Iceland, we do think, rather smugly, that we have been lucky to have enjoyed our own blue skies in our special place; no passport or airport waiting room required!
