Actually Hugo, I think Emma and her lovely family are still enjoying their holiday here in Llandudno.

I saw them all on the pier only yesterday!    Here for a fortnight I believe.

Thanks very much for letting me know Fester.  If you see her again give her my regards.   She may have called at the Archives anyway but it'll be worth a visit for her but I'll post something again.

Hi Hugo. lovely to hear from you. returned home yesterday from a fortnight in our lovely llandudno. We've had a super time and the weather has been glorious. Yes we bumped into Fester a couple of times. We also had another Roberts get together with my new cousins, Jane came down from liverpool too. A lovely long lunch in The Cottage Loaf and a good old stroll down the pier.
Im intrigued with your news Hugo. Please tell !
I didnt have access to my computer while we were there so i missed your post. Thanks for the info tho.  :)

Hi Emma, I'm glad that you've had a nice time in Llandudno and that the weather was good.   I'll post something later or maybe tomorrow.         :o

Hi Emma, I was in the Archives last week and had a conversation with someone working there.   He knew everything about Glanwydden and the Roberts family and was related in some way to them.   I was there about something else but ended up having a very long chat with him about the Roberts side and he told me something interesting, very interesting in fact.     :o
I'm not going to say what now but I'm hoping to see him again soon and will ask him to confirm again what he has told me and where his sources are from.
All I will say is that it concerns two families, one from our area and one from mid Wales and if I do tell you I hope you won't expect me to doff my cap or bow if I see you!!
Still intrigued?

Emma and Jane, have you been thinking about what I said?     I forgot to mention that neither family were called Roberts but were related to a Roberts family from Glanwydden.
Apart from the Roberts family is there any other well known very old Welsh family that you'd be proud to be linked to?     ;D   

Big clue there because you can rule out the Mostyn family from the local connection!

It's got you thinking Emma?   I hope to call at the Archives tomorrow and if the person I spoke to is there then I'll ask him again and then put you out of your misery.   
I'll tell you tomorrow.    $walesflag$

Bless you.....ill be watching for your reply !!! Apparently we have a 'Minogue' connection on the Capel Garmon side ???? Speaking of that area we visited Betws y coed whilst were there.....i did think we might get up to Capel Garmon but we went the other way on to Swallow Falls and Llanberis. Id never been before and i must say how overwhelmed we were by the sheer beauty of the area. We went up and over Llanberis Pass, stopping on the way to take it all in........stunning ! Passed the sign for Beddgelert, somewhere else i feel the need to visit. Ive heard its beautiful. Two weeks and still not enough time !!! I do follow your walks on the forum, you do go to some super places. Anyway, i digress........Thanks Hugo  :)
