Borth Y Gest - Simply The Best A memory of Borth-Y-Gest, Gwynedd I'm privileged to be the first to leave a memory relating to Borth Y Gest. I first had a holiday there in 1964. The owner of the factory where my dad was director owned a lovely holiday home in an elevated position in Mersey Street. The house is called "Mirain" and has unrivalled views across the estuary to Harlech. We had at least one holiday a year there until 1978 when the house was sold. I've continued holidaying in the Portmadoc/Criccieth area every year since and feel like I know it as well as I do my home town. These days when we (my wife, son and I) go to the area we stay in a cottage in Criccieth but we always go to Borth Y Gest a few times each holiday. Mirain is still there and how I envy its owners! Is there a more idyllic place than Borth Y Gest anywhere on the planet? I think not. Posted: 25/03/2008 11:51 by Paul Woodin |

A memory of Criccieth, Gwynedd I was fortunate enough to have spent a holiday at "Brynawelon", Criccieth in the mid 50's. I stayed with my Aunt and Uncle who rented a cottage in the grounds. My Aunt introduced me to Sosia {Soshia} who was the Polish housekeeper's daughter - we were inseparable. We would slide down the highly polished wooden bannister in the main hallway, onto a lion skin, {I was horrified!} We hopped and skipped and jumped the days away and all too soon it was time to say goodbye. I remember our traumatic parting as if it was yesterday, my Aunt turned to my Mother and said "parting is such sweet sorrow". I often think of the delightful girl with the smile that would melt your heart, and wonder where she is and if she remembers me. Last edited: 26/06/2007 15:16 by Lorna Enslin |

 Harlech, Castle and Golf Links 1908 (ref: 60251) |
Golfing memories. A memory of Harlech, Gwynedd My late husband was the professional at Royal St Davids for many years and the only golfer so far to have been both Welsh Amateur Champion and Welsh Professional Champion twice. We lived at 'Plas Owain' which is the house just above the Golf Links on the curve of the road up the hill. It was built in 1907. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by Mrs Black |

summer camp A memory of Abererch, Gwynedd At Sir Josiah Masons Orphanage in Birmingham where I was bought up from 8 - 16 years old we ran both Guide and Scout troops. During our senior years we went to camp at Abererch in the Summer holidays and this was an event that was anticipated with relish, months in advance by those entitled to go. The camp always coincided with the village children's sports weekend which took place in the adjacent field and we were encouraged to participate. It's probably my age but I recall us always doing rather better than the local children, having said that its probably a selective memory! The train journey was noisy and exciting, living under canvas and all that went with it was great fun, the visit to Butlins was a highlight, the beach and swimming in the sea was excellent and the sun ALWAYS shone - simple pleasures but happy days. At our annual Old Masons Association Reunion, Summer camp is a topic that invariably arises with "Do you remember when....." Last edited: 13/02/2008 18:30 by Derek Wilshaw |
