Re: Whinberrys are closely related to Blueberry's, and known by different names depending on where you live. Some of these are, Bilberry, Blaeberry, Whortleberry, Myrtle Blueberry. In my opinion a Whinberry Tart is heaven on earth, but not had any for a long time!! I wonder if people in Aber still go Whinberry picking.

Im only 21 and I have since moved from Aber to Newport. All my family still live there. In response to Ray Dix's message, as a kid I used to go whimberry picking every summer, and wrecked a million white T-shirts, up rhiw park/gelli grug, so yea, it's still happening. Also, I'm related closesly to the Dix family and wondered if you had any link with them. My Great Grandparents were Harold and Peggy Dix of Princess Street, Abertillery.( there children Terry, Hilda, Lesley and Kay.) Hilda was my Grandmother but she died young and unfortunately I never got to know her, but I am very close to the others. As Dix is not a common name I was wondering if you were any relation. Interesting.
