I was a keen cricketer for a number of years and lucky enough to play to a decent standard in my youth, I&#8217;ve also dabbled in Rugby, Football and a bit of Marathon running.<\/p>\n<p>But most of my spare time is taken up by my twin, and that&#8217;s my 2 nearly 3 year old son Henry, he loves going out on walks exploring and feeding the ducks. We&#8217;ve got another little boy on the way so I imagine spare time will be a thing of the past!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/04\/107329697_10158204445533673_8879643517749157381_n1.jpg\" alt=\"Meet the Team - Luke Edwards - Menai Holiday Cottages\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #185ea2;\">Three fun-facts about yourself?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>1.

My name isn&#8217;t actually Luke&#8230;..well its my middle name&#8230;.don&#8217;t ask&#8230;.!

Not only can you see across the whole of Anglesey over to Snowdonia and beyond, on a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and Ireland on some parts.<\/p>\n<p>My family lived in this area for over 150 years and I also got married in the chapel where this photo was taken from, so its a very special place for me.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4193\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/04\/17498993_793266912483_4521794529969972391_n1.jpg\" alt=\"Mynydd Twr - Menai Holiday Cottages\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also the view when we come to work isn&#8217;t too bad either&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/04\/15178980_773057866573_3511930632014130033_n1.jpg\" alt=\"Menai Holiday Cottages - Brynsiencyn\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #185ea2;\">Where is your favourite place to eat?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now I like my food so this is a tough one.\u00a0I love heading to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catch22brasserie.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catch 22!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #185ea2;\">Beer or Wine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I am a beer drinker, although I do love a cold glass of White now and again.
