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?

Don’t forget the “it was better back in the day”
All we need is Cod’s artful misspellings of various insults and swear words.

I will be digging out my crochet hook as soon as K&P request.

We need another Moldies debacle to really kick things off properly!!

It's passed as we lived life. My middle one finished school today and it all feels very anticlimactic and abrupt with covid .

@SunshineCake DS isn’t getting a prom. He’s thrilled but I’m really sad about it. No assembly, no big goodbye. 11/12 years of education- over.

[SunshineCake]

Mine isn't going to the prom as can't take their boyf. Count down to uni now . Doesn't seem two minutes since DC1 went.

It’s going to feel like a proper tribute if there are lots of posters, lots of sadness and fond recollections, a ruckus, a few deletions, some old timers turning up, chats about mumsnet royalty before someone flounces and someone else heads off to start a ‘who is your favourite mumsnetter’ thread
If we could then get the thread frozen, Justine turn up to sort it out and finally the boxroom troll unveil themselves as Jason Manford

That’s would be fitting

Just a long as no one shares that picture of Terry Wogan...

[HannaHat]

Oh man HoneyDragon introduced me to the wonders of Terry Wogan.
It’s burned into my memory.

Bee was so loved. It’s wonderful to see so many old names back on here reminiscing. Her memory will be a blessing.

I’ve missed you lot.

17 years plus and the bat and Terry Wogan pic will always get me.

I found my friends in nobdies and the time no one cared we couldn't spell because we were all pissed.
