It was the fall of 2019, B.C (Before Covid) in Bologna, Italy. We lived in a quaint one-bedroom flat in the quiet residential area of Costa Saragozza. The porta Saragozza, one of the gates or portals to where the original 14th-century medieval walls once stood before WWII, was just three blocks away.

Perched on a hill overlooking Conwy and Llandudno Junction, a towering structure stands proud. The Bryn Pydew Obelisk, visible from both the A55 and the A470, is actually not an ancient Welsh monument but a relatively recent addition to the landscape. Constructed in 1992 on the grounds of Bodysgallen Hall Hotel at Ffrith Hill, this modern folly was not built to commemorate any particular event.
