Not far from the empty lake, in the next valley there is also this very boggy area. You may remember I had been told it was called Cwm Llaid, (Bog/ mud Valley) well it seems that is wrong, it's called "Aber Llyn Cam." The best translation I can come up with is Crooked Lake Estuary. Funny yeah, but you can see why!
On the Facebook page the old timers are talking about people they remember in and around the village. As a nation the Welsh tend to give people nicknames that tend to stay with them for life. Steve may have left Liverpool since he was 17 but here he will always be Steve Scouse, Pat Rottie showed Rottweilers, Phil Post was a post man in his younger days ... quite easy to follow really,but I was tickled pink to read about Will dwr cachu who use to work in the water plant .. I'll translate, Will Shit Water ...(or maybe Shit Water Will) imagine going through life being called that, and now in his grave it's how he's remembered ... Well I'm amused anyway.
