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?

I didn't know BOF but what a loss. She was so young, and clearly from all the messages, a special and wonderful person. Also a stone cold fox - what a hottie!

Sorry to everyone on here who's feeling her loss, and of course to her family.

I hope BOF's up there - out of lockdown, hugging some loved ones and drinking in a heavenly pub with no masks and no social distancing!

RIP BOF, from a stranger who didn't want to read and run Flowers

EmpressWitchDoesntBurn · 12/05/2021 21:58

So much sympathy to all BOF’s family and friends. Rest in peace BitOfFun Flowers

Opal71 · 12/05/2021 22:11

not on Anglesey but just down the coast near Porthmadog is Black Rock Sands where you drive right on to the beach. Would be easily accessible and near Portmeirion if you fancied a trip there. Hope the sunshines on you when you're there x

So sad to read of BOFs passing, rest easy lovely woman. ThanksThanks

Serin · 12/05/2021 23:47

Very sad. May she rest in peace.

VivaDixie · 12/05/2021 23:47

BOF is absolutel virtually on this thread having a whiskey and is relaxing on a chaise longue smiling at us all (maybe with a 'heavily cropped' nip on show Wink )

Gosh how we all loved this darling lady, And what I love is that some old names from 'back in the day' are creeping into this thread to send their love, Either you have resurfaced or have namechanged to your old names to honour this lovely lady.

Fly high Bee - you are the one who I intermittently chatted to over the years and you always remembered me. How she did that I will never know but she was truly a wonderful Bit Of Fun xxxxx

Ostryga · 12/05/2021 23:50

Ah fuck. BoF was endlessly wonderful to me on the loveliest thread on MN when I was struggling a few years ago when I was a newbie under my first username.

I have never forgotten her wit and sass, and her kindness that knew no bounds. No question was too silly or stupid.

Sending all my love and strength to her family, thinking of them all at this incredibly hard time Flowers

EmeraldShamrock · 12/05/2021 23:56

I loved the portrait that her DH done. She was very proud of it.
I hope he finds the strength to go on while feeling her love forever.
So sad. Sad

PerArduaAdNauseum · 13/05/2021 00:11

Oh bugger. Bugger bugger bugger. BoF was one of the loveliest posters here. That picture, that pouffe, the comedy double act she seemed to have with Shiney for a while...

Bugger.

KarmaNoMore · 13/05/2021 00:57

So very sorry to hear the news. Rest in peace BOF Flowers

TheHoneyBadger · 13/05/2021 02:52

RIP BOF. I skipped to the last page to say hi and remind you of something about 13 years ago Sad

If any family are reading I'm so sorry for your loss! I always thought of her as a bit of a glamour puss - don't know how accurate that is but that was the picture in my mind.

Too soon.

Whymrsrobinson · 13/05/2021 03:23

💐 nope, got no words. Just 💐

ElGuardiandenoche · 13/05/2021 03:26

There are no words. Bee was always unfailingly kind to all around her. She will be greatly missed by all us old stagers and those who are relatively new.

My heart and good wishes go out to her family and friends.

PineapplesWillHelp · 13/05/2021 07:32

@PerArduaAdNauseum "for a while?!'

Until the end! But I was always the funny one.

LWOTT · 13/05/2021 07:43

I think many of us adore the portrait Lee did of Bee. He is an exceptional artist. When the time is right I may ask him if he’ll think about doing some prints of the portrait.
