The marina opened in 1859. Copper smelting had become a major activity in the lower valley in the 18th century, due to the plentiful supplies of coal. This area earned the nickname “coppercropolis’.
In 1905, a French sailing ship, ‘St Patrick’ exploded and sank in the South Dock. The dock closed in 1969 and reopened as a marina in 1982.
First and foremost…I hope I’ll still be in good health.
For the last 6 years I have been on a very long journey, on a road to recovery and healing; both physically and emotionally.
But I have spent those years alone. 😔
Ohhh…I’ve had a couple of dalliances; I won’t go into those on here 🤪😂😂. I would be mortified if they were to read my thoughts on our interludes. 😱🤣🤣
Prior to my healing, I never felt…at peace, contentment, at ease, safe, deserving, worthy…
I feel I have achieved my goals, both academically, and with my career as an Art Lecturer. I have exhibited and sold my artwork in numerous galleries; most notably…’The Royal Cambrian Academy of Art’.
What I would like to accomplish in three years time, is that I’ll be with a special person. Forging a life together, sharing the simple things; a meal, a pot of tea, watching a movie, Xmas, birthdays, intimacy, etc. But more importantly, sharing my life with someone. Living a life together, creating new memories, and LOVING and RESPECTING each other.
Redamancy: A love returned in full. ❤️
Oh, 😱 I nearly forgot: Finish and publish my memoir.
It holds the record for the ‘longest non-stop single track cable car”, at 5,801 mtrs in length. It is 1,487 mtrs from sea level.
I took the cable car journey back in 2014, a year after it opened. It was a wonderful experience, looking over the mountains, the trees and the waterfalls below.
