Following on from the "I had a dream" post where I dreamt that the date stone, Gary Owen (grandson of the last tenant) had told me about, had a date of either 1893 or 1895, which I assumed would be the date the kitchen extension was built and the roof raised. And should I be correct with the date I wondered whether this proved I had psychic powers:
David the builder said that Gary was very excited on the last day he was working at Cefnmeurig because he had found the date stone. Hearing this news made me very excited as well but I became a little puzzled when David started to walk away from the house towards a concrete gate post. "Here it is" he said "it's very faint though".
On top of the concrete post was scratched "Gary Owen 1985" I'm sure that this will be of great interest to Gary's descendants in a 100 years time but it does not take me any further forward with my research into the history of the house!
1895? 1985? Perhaps I'm a psychic that just makes the occasional transposition error.
