Frondeg Talybont

my grandparents Rosina & Rev'd John Williams moved to Frondeg on the Aberystwyth side of Talybont in the 1920's when John's health meant he could no longer preach. He died in 1925 Rosina died in the 1950's I don't really remember her although my sister Phyllis who is 5 years older than me does. My uncle Idris Parrish Williams continued to live in the house until his death in June 1992 my mother Lili died in Dec of the same year. I spent most of my summer holidays at Frondeg with uncle Id either with my parents or as a teenager I would catch the bus from S. Wales. I was always made welcome in the village even though I spoke no Welsh & I carried water from the pump in the street until water was piped to the house. When I married & moved to N Wales Frank & I continued to spend time a few weeks a year at Uncle Id's. I still have many items from the family home & they have pride of place in my home in Norfolk
