Description

Hugh Jones oedd y bugail traddodiadol olaf ym mhen uchaf Dyffryn Tywi. Mae ei atgofion yn atalw traddodiadau ac arferion sydd wedi hen ddiflannu ers y dyddiau pan oedd defaid yn fwy niferus na choed. Tra bo popeth o’i gwmpas yn newid, parhaodd Hugh yn gadarn a di-ildio wrth gofleidio hen ffordd o fyw.
