"BRYN ALMA"
'Alma Hill' in Welsh

'Bryn Alma' is a mid-19th Century, stone-built, farm cottage that we fell in love with while Judy was consulting for the British Nuclear
Fuels people at the Wylfa Power Station that lives 5 minutes down the road. Nestling in a tiny Welsh-speaking village full of lovely
people, it's a snapshot of rural Welsh life a century ago.

When Magnox offered Judy a full-time post on the Power Station's management team, we jumped at the chance to buy
the house ..... and then promptly started knocking much if it down in order for Bob to install new wiring, new plumbing,
new heating, a new bathroom and a new kitchen. Then we turned the lean-to cowshed at the side into a dining room.

Next we had the main chimney re-opened (note the lack of chimney pots in the original photo above) and re-lined. This was partly
to help to dry out the damp lime mortar stonework, caused by lack of ventilation, but also so that we could use the big Victorian fireplace,
we replaced the beamed ceiling in the living room . Then it was time to start on the rambling and overgrown garden ....

Two years later and the house is just starting to come together. We're putting together a picture trail of our 2-year stay in this
lovely little Welsh village, and our many new friends in it, and we hope you enjoy it.
