Llanddona memories

Llanddona

Went to Llanddona as a baby and still going. Every year we went in the October holiday and stayed for a week. When I was 1year old a cat had attached herself to us and as we left she jumped in the car so home she came. She passed away when I was 21, what an age. The big rock on the beach we always called Grandad's rock. now my kids call it Grandad rock. We spent many an hour sat on top.

Living in Llanddona

My childhood years were fantastic. I loved the hot summer months, especially the walks to the beach, just being free.  The smell of the sea air, and the fresh air.  I spent most of my time outside playing. I loved going to school and learning Welsh.  I miss Llanddona.  I am now in Manchester and have two grown up sons, but I promise one day, I will return, to enjoy the smell of LLanddona. If anyone reads this and remembers me, my dad was Gareth Rowlands, and my mum then Susan Rowland.  I had 2 sisters, Michelle and Mandy, please reply to this. Thank you for reading. Would also love to see some photos of the place now.

Extracts From Llanddona & Gwynedd books

Llanddona, the Village c1955

The timeless occupation of harvesting oats, at one with nature when performed by man and beast, is seen here on Anglesey. Soon however the more versatile tractor was to make horses largely redundant in the countryside.
