Clwb Cinio

ON Wednesday, 19 July, 36 members travelled to the Feathers Royal Hotel in Aberaeron for an excellent lunch and an interesting talk by Natalie Smith and Enfis Jones, who are Dementia Friends.

They told the five things everyone should know about Dementia.

It is not a natural part of ageing, it is caused by diseases of the brain, it is not just about losing your memory, thinking, communicating and the ability to do everyday tasks, it is possible to live well with Dementia and there is more to a person than Dementia.

They encouraged the group to become Dementia Friends and to help people with Dementia to do simple tasks and give them valuable social contact.

The Strawberry Tea at Y Talbot will be on Tuesday, 8 August.

It will be opened this year by Cllr Lyndon Lloyd, MBE.

THE next walk is scheduled for 12 August, and has been organised by Andrew and Helen McConochie 07854 088142/07890 767511.

The Legend of the Lady of the Lake/Llyn y Fan Fach – a young man used to take his cattle to graze on the Black Mountain.

One day he saw a lady sitting on the water combing her hair.

Admiring her beauty, he offered her bread and cheese but she refused, saying: “Unbaked is thy bread, I will not have thee”.

She refused him on a second occasion but on the third visit to the lake she accepted his gift and agreed to marry him.

Her dowry was sheep, cattle, goats and horses but she warned him: “Strike me without cause three times and you shall lose me”.

They lived together with their family but ‘alas’ he did strike her three times.

Though his actions were without malice, she returned to the lake with all her animals.

She would later appear to her sons and show them herbs with medicinal uses.

They went on to become the famous Physicians of Myddfai.

The walk starts from Lampeter Surgery (behind Lloyd’s Chemist) at 9am and the walk is to last approximately seven hours and is graded a hard walk which covers seven miles with an ascent of 915m.
