BOF's Big Bucket List Trip To Anglesey! *MNHQ editing title to say that there is some very sad news contained in this thread. Sending love to all*

[BitOfFun]

AIBU to ask for some help planning this?

I've been on mumsnet almost forever, and it's my go-to place for wisdom, help and advice. I don't really have a long time alive, as my cancer treatment has stopped working, so I'm hoping that some of you can help me plan a trip to Anglesey, so that I've seen somewhere that isn't these four walls during my Liverpool Lockdown!

I don't want to go much further afield, as I would feel better being easily accessible to medical care if necessary. The plan is to hire a car with my husband, who'll drive, and stay a night or two in B&Bs, taking in some coastal views and sunsets.

I'd love to trawl antique shops.
I'd like to take the dog, if possible, though this isn't really essential.
Outdoors is good, but I'll have to use a wheelchair for more than short distances.
I like the idea of "hidden gems" in terms of places to visit (who doesn't?) but comfort is good too.
I'll wait for the weather to warm up a bit, so in a few weeks is fine (I hope!).

I don't want to annoy anybody, but I'd like to use this thread for a bit of support and encouragement, and keep bumping it for more ideas and suggestions.so I can make this trip as special as possible. As Anglesey isn't all that far from where I live, I could split the trip into a few parts.

So, can you help? AIBU?

Damn..

Newish namechange, been around this place for 14 years on and off.. she always bought a smile, and will be missed, the place will be less for her absence.

So sad to hear this. RIP BOF

She was a remarkable woman 💔

Sleep well dearest BoF
💜

I have been here since 2008, I have lots of memories of BoF's kind, funny, sensible posts. A couple of times she was directly very kind to me.

It's extraordinary really to be on this huge anonymous website and to still have touched so many. What a special person she was and how cruel that she has passed away. I won't forget her. I feel really sad for the people who knew and loved her.

I'm so sad reading this. It feels very weird that she's not going to pop up on the thread taking the piss out of us all solemnly talking about how lovely she was. I am sure if there is an afterlife, she is up there cackling about this thread. I am going to miss her so much.

RIP you were a remarkable woman. Much love to all of your loved ones.

Oh no, this is very sad news. I was following the Anglesey thread with hope for her trip. RIP BoF. 🌺🌺

This, even those of us who barely interacted with her will still miss her presence.

We had so many conversations recently about how she’ll be canonised 🤣

She’d be laughing her traitorous tits off at this.

But it’s all true, she really was something special.

😇🐝

I saw the RIP thread, and posted on there, but saw this in Active so read through.
Am I to understand that MaryAnnSingleton is also dead?

@BitOfFun I am sorry to hear of your prognosis, you were so kind and helpful when I had a thread to help me leave my abusive ex (under another name).

I haven't been to Anglesey for a very long time, but I remember it as a lovely place, so I hope this trip is as special for you as possible. 💐

I've been around Mumsnet forever so even though I didn't 'know' BoF I'm still saddened by the loss of one of our original crew.

I’m so very sorry to read the update on this. I’ve been around since 2007 and always loved BoF’s post. May you rest in peace.

I only read the first half, but such sad news. I'll not forget the support I got when I needed it. 💐

On the way to Anglesey have a stop at Llandudno. Nice prom, pier, easy access to lots of shops, fairly flat. Short bus tours along the coast a bit. Its one of OH's favourite places and I must admit to liking the place as well (don't tell him).

@CaptainNancy Sad to say, MaryAnnSingleton died some years ago now

Very, very sorry too that we have lost @BitOfFun. She was fantastic.

to her family and all those who loved her.

I always used to hear 'BOF', like a comic sound effect in my head when I saw her name and it made me smile.

Me too. I was going to write "RIP BOF" but it doesn't sound so good said quickly
So just

Such sad news

Thank you @BIWI
I had not realised- she's still on my Pinterest

Very sad news all round.

Oh, such sad news. I wasted many a gulp of wine spat all over the keyboard on a Saturday night because of BOF. So funny and also very kind.

So sorry to hear this. Sending love

Very sad news.
Condolences to her family, heartbreaking for them.
She will be missed on MN for sure.
