A Memory of Cwmynyscoy.
I lived in 50 Cwmnyscoy with my grandparents at the early part of the war years. I went to Blaendare Road School with my sister, Pamela, who was three years older. We had come from Cardiff and as we lived near the aerodrome we had nightly air raids, so we went to live with our grandparents, James and Jane Ann Jones. I have such good memories of plum pudding field, long walks with my grandfather where we picked berries in the summer, mushrooms, watercress, and nuts in the autumn. The library was next door to their cottage, and I would sit on the bedroom wide windowledge and listen to the choir practicing. It was such a beautiful place to live, out of the fears of the air raids. The space where my grandparent's cottage was, which was one of three cottages, is now just a small parking area. We had no electricity, no running water and my sister and I would carry water from the spring at the back of the cottage for our grandmother. I loved it and would like to find my cousins, Hartley Jones and Maureen Jones, who I have lost touch with.
