A well-known cider business on Anglesey has shut its doors.
Janet and Adrian Percival moved to the island and established Jaspels in 2017 - originally appealing through social media channels for apple contributions to get the venture off the ground.
The label flourished, securing a manufacturing facility in Amlwch, with their cider being stocked at public houses, eateries and retail outlets across Anglesey and further afield.
The operation subsequently moved to premises incorporating both production facilities and a cider bar at Ty Croes, close to Aberffraw.
However, Jaspels has now confirmed the end of its operations, reports .
A statement cited seasonal difficulties, lease issues and a change in personal circumstances as contributing factors.
Janet explained: "Jaspels has sadly closed for a number of reasons" - highlighting an issue with the length the of tenancy they were offered at their site, which she said had a "significant impact on the future planning of the business".
She continued: "That on top of seasonality challenges made it unviable in the end. A change of personal circumstances also meant we could not continue as myself and Ade separated due to stress. I left in November, and it finally closed mid-July.
"I would like to say that we loved every moment of Jaspels and will miss the barn and bar massively. We hope it will hold happy memories for you all over the 9 years it was open in Amlwch and Aberffraw.
"It is very sad for the island and ourselves. Thanks for the memories."
Customers expressed their disappointment at the news. One commented: "So very sad to hear this - we have enjoyed Jaspels on so many occasion's - it was such a idyllic location and had amazing views."
Another remarked: "Such a shame. We were looking forward to visiting for our yearly Jaspels Cider fix next week. Good luck for the future."
