I have recently been looking into my late grandfathers background and founds some interesting facts.
I remember as a kid going to visit him at a Bothey in the grounds of a large home in 'Bontnewydd' , Wales.
I remember the house had a HUGE garden and a HUGE house at the top of the garden, i was told i couldn't go to the big house unless i was asked.
My brothers used to play with the kids from the big house, they were called 'Peregrine & Sarah'. I knew the family were rich as there was sometimes a red helicopter parked on the lawn yet at 5yrs old i wasn't to concerned nor interested in these folk.
After asking loads of questions recently and looking on the net it turns out that the home was 'PLAS DINAS', the home of Lord Snowdon & Princess Margaret, the kids are Pregrine & Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones
My grandfather was a plumbing and heating engineer, he was living in the grounds of PLAS DINAS for many years whilst working in the area and carrying out maintainance on the Armstrong-Jones family home.
