Dyfed memories

Hillcroft, Lluest

I used to live in the farm house and my grandparents lived next door in the barn to Bed House. I loved it there and I hope whoever is there now is having a fantastic time. Wish we hadn't moved. x

Trefenter

I was brought up in the village in a house called Ty Newyth which means 'the new house'. I remember every part of the village from the school to the post office, the jet plane crash on Trefenter mountain, and the old Trefenter village higher in the hills where the windmills or turbines ended up. I remember some of the families from the village. If I can help in any way I would be happy to help.

Trefenter School And Village Life

I am raised in the village and was in the school when it closed. I remember most families and events and places in the village. 07826698904

Williams

I would love to hear from anyone that remembers any of the WILLIAMS family, Gwarffynnon, Ochyrbryn and Wauncastle. I'm researching my family tree so anything would be appreciated.

CHILDREN OF THE WAR

MY BROTHER AND I WERE EVACUATED TO LAMPETER IN JULY OF 1944 COMING FROM LONDON AS OUR HOUSE WAS BOMBED. WE WERE TAKEN IN BY MARY AND JOHN POWELL IN "BARLEY MOW".  EVEN THOUGH THESE WERE TRYING TIMES FOR OUR PARENTS, IT WAS THE HAPPIEST TIME OF MY CHILDHOOD. AUDREY [LATTER] VOELKER

Carnival Day in Gadlys' Field by Our Church

I was dressed up as the 'knave of hearts' with real jam tarts on the plate which my mam made. My friend Martin Morgan was dressed as 'Andy Capp', most of the village dressed up, children and grown ups, and if they didn't they were involved in other ways. I also remember the following year I dressed as 'Puppet on a String' in bare feet like Sandie Shaw, they were the begining of some great memories. Jane Arch Davies

A Cottage Holiday in Aberaeron

Main Street c1955

My wife Elizabeth and I had decided we needed to get to know the west Wales coast as our son David's fiancee Amanda was studying at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. After a number of visits to Aberystwyth itself we were ready to explore further afield so we booked a week's stay in a holiday cpttage in nearby Aberaeron. The cottage was delightful and overlooked a stream running beside a road called Heol-y-dwr (I think).

Yes it rained a lot of the time, but there was sunshine too. The sun was shining on the day we chose to take a small boat trip from the Aberaeron Harbour out to see the dolphins frolicking in the bay. I remember a car drive up into the hills and seeing waterfalls, an old steam railway and back in the town there were delightful small independently run shops with local produce and gifts. I bought some exquisite Welsh cheese here!
