Childhood Memories
I used to stay with my nain in Clawddnewidd and have very fond memories. Mrs Watson lived next door and used to pop in every night with some fruit for us. At that time there was a top shop run by Mr Lake and his wife, they were always so nice to us. We used to go to the chapel for service and my nain and a few other villagers used to pluck pheasants. My Uncle Emrys lived in Nant Farm and used to call at nain's every morning with fresh milk from the farm. We went on many walks picking rasberries for nain to make a pie but my favourite was always her ginger cake. I was told never to go to the pond at the bottom of the village as it had a whirlpool in it but of course I had to find out. Once a year there was a show and my nain always dressed up in her Welsh lady outfit. I still visit Clawdd now to go to my nain's grave, it has changed. There are more houses and top shop and bottom shop have now closed but there is a farm shop across from the cemetery where many of my relatives are buried. I love this little village and will always have my happier memories of my childhood in my heart forever. Last edited: 03/07/2008 12:11 by Jacqueline Owen |
