Happy Childhood

Ffynnongroew was a place of happy childhoods, and the Garth Mill was a landmark. We could tell when the old watermill was working by the rate at which the Llinegr stream was running. We would play around the mill and in the woods behind, following the sticks we threw down the stream.

Sun, Sea & Sandhills at Gronant

Going on our holiday in dad's car to nan & grandad's holiday bungalows, driving over the railway bridge and onto what I always knew as Gronant (The Warren), the first thing we would see would be the little wooden shops. My dad would carry me on his shoulders to buy a windmill and a bucket & spade and then onto the sandhills for a day of fun.

What fantastic memories of our family holidays of sun, sea and sandhills at Gronant. (The picture is just how I remember the wooden shops).
