Gwynedd memories
Happy Childhood
I lived with my grandmother who was Sara Catherine Roberts and we lived in Liverpool House, Penisarwaun. I was a teenager and lived there for about three years. I went to school at Llanrug, the one down the bottom of a lane. My name then was Wendy Williams and my father was Daniel Williams, who left Wales early in his life. Life was great there and one of the highlights was going into Caernarfon on a Saturday afternoon to the pictures. I remember Siop Gron when it was a shop and the post office when it was round the back of the village. My grandmother went to the Methodist chapel on the Deiniolen road and I went to St Helen's from time to time. I was not a very good church attendant. There was a house on the corner opposite Siop Gron where we waited for the school bus and my grandmother was friends with the lady who lived there, I think she had a daughter called Susan but I...

Childhood Holidays
We came here in Easter 1983 to 1986 with the school, I loved every minute of it. I am hoping to come back soon for a trip down memory lane, can't wait. 06.08.09 Dave Waite, Hall Road Junior High School, Hull
Post Office
I have fondest memories of the old Prichard family and Frank DM who lived and ran the post office in Llanrug for years. Frank DM also ran the coaches opposite the post. It was a very sad day for Llanrug when Mrs Prichard widow of Frank DM and her family left the post office. When I go to the post I can still see in my mind Mr. and Mrs Frank DM Prichard.
Ty'n Y Buarth

My Home.
I was born here in 1956 at 5 Vaynol Cottages. The house with the plaque. I remember the trees across the river. I used to run from Pen Lon all the way home as they were very scary in the dark .
Griffith Crossing
My Mum used to work for the Anglo American oil company on war work, her name was Rhoda Knight, and My Gran was Margaret Flynn from Caernarfon, She was a paint sprayer, painting the oil drums, where they went was supposed to be secret but she said you knew by the paint, such as light brown or sandy shade it was going to the desert, and greens for the jungle areas.
The Down And Up
We went to stay at Plas-Y-Nant, Easter, Whit and Summer every year in the 50s. It was simply wonderful. Yes, I remember Auntie Lena and the whole range of little customs and practices we willingly engaged in. Not the least important of these was the evening 'down and up' - the group walk down the drive, along the road and up the bridle path. The bridle path was, of course, only wide enough for two to walk up in comfort - hence the exciting attraction of the evening ritual for a 15 year old who had never held a girl's hand before, never mind had a kiss. And now, both were possible. The most exciting thing in the world. We were really privileged to have had this opportunity to grow up romantically in a safe and caring environment. I wrote to at least one of these contacts for a long time - I wonder where 'Dallas Bagshaw' is now. She would have arrived in the 'Manchester coach', a much... Read more
