| This picture is
taken from the Barmouth Promenade not far from the house where my Aunty
May and Aunty Dilys used to live. Plas Mynach sits on a small hill and
is surrounded by woods. It has an
imposing appearance to it. A path runs down from the house through the
woods and down to a stream that we used to play around as children. The
stream had small fish living in it that were extremely hard to spot.
As young children we used to meet in the woods close to the stream where we had a rope swing set up on an overhanging tree that grew next to a small rock outcrop. Standing on the rock we would hurl ourselves into space in a circle so that we would not smash back into the rock on the return swing. We often played 'Robin Hood' and his merry men and constructed bows and arrows from the sycamore trees and reeds growing there. I also worked in Plas Mynach as a waiter serving breakfast to the guests during my later school years. |
