Aunty Gwyneth NEW
by: Anonymous

Dear Ann O'Neamous

Let me know who you are (G? Most probably A).

We may even be related. It's still a small town.

Anglesey preachers are renowned for twinkling eyes and "I understand your pain and haven't you got nice legs."

The Welsh term is 'Sglyfath Neis'.

American Aunty in Anglesey NEW
by: Anonymous

I remember the Christmas of 1979 vividly, My Aunty Gwyneth came to visit from Texas.

She'd "forgotten" all her Welsh (Mind you she did fine when the whisky was flowing!) And when walking into Llangefni we bumped into T.C. Simpson, a retired postman.

He was the pregethwr - preacher - at Capel Lon Y Felin.

He asked my Aunty if she would be coming to the chapel on Sunday, She replied she wouldn't be able understand the sermon as it would all be in Welsh.

T.C, with a twinkle in his eye said "Yes, but we'll hold the collection in English just for you" and off he went on his way

Virgin Mary and the Marian Conspiracy NEW
by: Wil

Dear Bella

Yes, there is a story that Mary came to Anglesey after the Crucifixion. The story is that she was accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea.

There is a book by Graham Phillips called, "The Marian Conspiracy" that seeks to bring a load of strands together to make a case. I'm not sure that he succeeds; nonetheless, it's a really good read and will inform you about the Arthur connection with Anglesey, specific Roman history and an alternative theory on the 'Lady of the Lake'

Check out my Book Store and go from there.

Thanks very much for popping in to Anglesey Hidden Gem.

Warmest regards to you.

Hidden Indeed! NEW
by: Bella

Went to an old church near Llanerchymedd and they told me the Virgin Mary was buried there after she escaped from the Holy Land.

Is this true?? Sounds very Holy Graily to me:) Your blog has a good name - Hidden. I only just found it! haha!
