Gwynedd memories
The Bridge at Llanuwchllyn
I know this view very well, as my aunt and uncle lived in Ty Newydd, their garden led down to the river on the right hand side of the photo. Spent many an hours playing in the river and fishing with my cousins, never caught anything!
Ty Newydd.
Good to see that you have the view from the bridge, my aunt and uncle lived in the house on the left, which is called Ty Newydd. Many happy memories of tea time visits and playing and fishing in the river with the cousins. I helped my Uncle lay his drive, which 34 years later is still in good condition.
Tempus Fugit
My mum and dad retired to Llandderfel and lived in 'Plas Onn' by the bridge - a lovely home. Sadly it was a time of family tragedy and they didn't stay long - Mum was born and lived in Wales until her 20s and she was still classed as an outsider by a few of the locals which hurt her so much - one of the girls stole lots of things from the house. Hey ho, I suppose it doesn't really matter any more as my parents have now died, but I don't think we'll be visiting any time soon!
My memories of this beautiful place have been sullied by their bad experiences.
Llanuwchllyn
Mums family are from the village, I have wonderful memories of staying with my grandmother at Aran Lane, which is at the bottom of the street on the right. On hearing a train, I used to rush out into the main road to see the train going over the railway bridge. My great uncle Tex had the butchers shop in the village, but spent most of his time in my grandmothers house drinking cups of tea. There was also my great uncle John, who used to ride about on a bike that had a creaky chain. He refused to oil it as he felt people knew he was coming, when they heard his bike!
Summer Holidays.
I spent many happy holidays with my grandparents John and Alice Hughes at Bron Cadnant, much of the time in the two rivers/streams that come together near the house. I was taught how to fly fish by my grandfather and my Uncle Bob who lived in a shop almost opposite the church in the village. I remember visiting Hafod-lom where by mother was brought up with her father and mother - now under water at Llyn Brenig. One activity I'll never forget was turning a 'churn' for what seemed like hours to make butter and llaeth enwyn - I loved the salted butter which was almost white with beads of water on it, I've only very recently got to like llaeth enwyn :) I think Auntie Avril still lives nearby, closer to Cerrig-y-Drudion. I could go on and on. Hwyl Arwel (once of Henllan)
1966
Stayed here with my parents in August 1966 when it was a Christian Guest House.
If there had been a fire it would have been a death trap!!
The Caravan Park Owned by Mr Pughe
In 1972 when my parents had a caravan on Mr Pughes site we had a Sprite Muskateer owned first by my grandad, Lesley Fellows and his wife Louise. I have very fond memories of the caravan site, and can still remember all the old caravans there.
