Happy Holidays In Abersoch
Since 1962 I have always been to Abersoch at least once a year if not two three or four times!! In the early years we always stopped in a flat over the cowsheds at Tyn y Mur farm. ( These have now been beautifully converted - in our day there was no bath room and an outside loo!!)It was farmed by Mr and Mrs Olwyn Jones. Mr Jones was a lay preacher as well as a farmer and Mrs Jones was a nurse at the hospital in Pwllhelli. I could not believe it when I found this photo as there is Mrs Jones and her lovely Triumph Herald parked outside the newsagents .Happy Days!! Last edited: 08/12/2006 17:11 by Shan Moule |

Tyn-a-don Farm/ Llanengan
The first time I stayed at Tyn-a Don farm I was about 6, I fell in love with the place straight away. I remember we borrowed a tent from a friend of the family who took us there that first time. The kids of today would be horrified at what we had to last us for the whole 2 weeks we stayed. My sister and I could only take 1 bat and ball, (for French cricket), a board game each, 1 pack of cards and a book. We would spend most of the time in the sea and climbing the rocks. Back then the beach was mostly sand, but now it has turned to shingle, but this does not detract from its beauty. When a large storm hit overnight, the next day the waves were huge, it was wonderful. I also remember that each year we made new friends to play with. There used to be a horse there called Frisky (I think it was) he was always so friendly and loved to be petted. There was also a field full of geese near the farmyard, and no matter how you tried you could never sneak past they always heard you and set up an awful racket that would have us in stitches. I can't remember the names of the farmer or his wife, but they used to take orders for a daily pinta for any who wanted it. The village was a lovely little place, I remember it had a little shop where we used to buy sweets and postcards, a garage, a few houses and a pub called the Sun Inn, we would stay in the car if it was raining or outside at the back of the pub with a bottle of coke and a packet of crisps while mum and dad went in for a drink. Even though I only went there for about 4 years, I have been back a few times In 1988/9 I stayed just down the road in a bungalow called Cefn, with my oldest daughter who was about 5 or 6, she thought the place was great. I have told my family that when I pop my clogs I want my ashes sprinkled into the water off the point on an incoming tide. I love this place so much I want to be there forever. A lot of surfers have now found the place because of the great waves, the water is really clear, when it is calm an average person can walk in up to chest height and still see the bottom, but after a storm everything gets churned up. I will be back there again tomorrow for a flying visit and this time I wil be the one getting a drink in the Sun. Cheers. Last edited: 05/09/2008 08:54 by Lesley Myers |

Edward John Hughes.
My grandfather Edward John Hughes of Henllys Isaf sadly passed away on Wednesday 27th of June 2007 at Bryn Beryl at the age of 92. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially the ones closest to him. My grandmother Pat who he thought the world of, and had been married to for 63 incredible years will need all the support and love from friends and family at these difficult times, also his beloved sons Adrian and Valance who meant so much to him. "Ned" as he was known to the locals was truly a fine gentleman and a well respected character in the village, he always did his upmost to keep the village clean and respectable. If he wasn't emptying the bins, he was painting the wooden benches or cutting someone's lawn or doing some sort of garden work to help people out. So I can honestly say he was a big part of Llanbedrog and I'm pretty sure whoever knew taid would agree with me. He never had a bad word to say about anyone, he always had a zest for life, and that unforgettable smile that always shined when he spoke to you. I'm sure I am speaking for all of the family and friends by saying he'll never be forgotten and will remain in our hearts forever. xx Rest In Peace xx Last edited: 03/07/2007 21:12 by Mathew Hughes |

Vacations!
As young parents along with our two daughters we would spend many happy vacations in Pwllheli. Mostly at Butlins Holiday Camp. So many happy memories, arriving at the camp, hoping we would get Blue Camp as it was closer to the amusements and the tennis courts. The times we would visit the Pwllheli Market. So many happy memories of Pwllheli. Even now to this day we still talk about those happy days. Both our daughters are grown up now with children of their own so perhaps one day they might take their own children to show them Pwllheli. Last edited: 14/04/2008 13:30 by Brenda Vanderwert |
