-Hello and welcome to Bore Da...

-..on the morning

-of Sunday 26 February.

-It's hard to believe that

-it's the last weekend of February!

-Let's get on with the programme

-before this hour flies by.

-On today's programme...

-..I look forward

-to St David's Day...

-..with the pupils

-of Ysgol Gymraeg Dewi Sant.

-Gerallt Pennant

-celebrates Welsh music...

-..at the Y Selar Awards

-in Aberystwyth.

-Huw Fash has the latest from

-the catwalks of London Fashion Week.

-We also meet some of

-the Welsh speakers of Liverpool.

-Sit back and enjoy the coming hour.

-Welcome, once again, to Bore Da.

-It's St David's Day on Wednesday.

-This is the day when we celebrate

-the patron saint of Wales.

-In preparation for the day, I went

-to learn more about the man himself.

-St Davids.

-This is a glorious city.

-But how much do we know

-about this cathedral...

-..and how much do we know about

-the patron saint of Wales, St David?

-The cathedral that we see today

-dates back to the Middle Ages.

-The foundations date back

-to the time of St David.

-This was the site of a church...

-..built by St David

-when he lived in Wales amongst us.

-I met the historian, Ann Rosser...

-..who takes great delight

-in our patron saint.

-We're all familiar with St David.

-But who was St David?

-These days, he's known as

-the patron saint of Wales.

-St David was a man of flesh and bone

-who lived in the sixth century.

-He's thought to have died in 590

-or thereabouts.

-It was such a long time ago

-that we can't be certain.

-He died on 1 March...

-..so that is the date

-that we commemorate him in Wales.

-How much do the children

-of Ysgol Dewi Sant in Llanelli...

-..know about the man himself?

-St David was born in 520...

-..somewhere in Ceredigion

-in West Wales.

-He had his early education in

-a monastery in Henfynyw, Ceredigion.

-His teacher was called Paulinus.

-Paulinus was blind.

-His father's name was Sant

-and he was a king.

-Ysgol Dewi Sant

-was the first Welsh school in Wales.

-We're very proud of our history.

-Miss Olwen Williams

-was the first headmistress.

-She would be happy

-to see all this at the school...

-..and that the children

-are proud of it.

-A cult has developed over the

-centuries in the name of St David.

-There are many legends about him.

-There's an incredible amount

-of places that are dedicated to him.

-When I read this...

-..I had no idea that St David's

-influence in the churches...

-..reached throughout South Wales

-and West England.

-It also reached

-Ireland and Brittany.

-Today, there are churches

-dedicated to him...

-..in Canada, America and Tasmania.

-The list is too long to mention.

-He's definitely an iconic figure...

-..with a cult dedicated to him.

-But the question is: how will you

-be celebrating St David's Day?

-There will be a procession

-around the city...

-..in the presence of the bishop

-and a guest minister.

-We'll also welcome those pilgrims

-who visit the cathedral...

-..on St David's Day.

-A lot of people will visit

-this important location...

-..in the history of Christianity

-in the whole of Great Britain.

-I'll wear the Welsh costume...

-..and celebrate with

-a school Eisteddfod in the morning.

-I'll wear the Welsh costume and take

-part in a procession in the town.

-We'll have a procession

-through the town to Seion Chapel...

-..and have a jamboree

-with Martyn Geraint.

-I've certainly learnt a lot

-about this incredible cathedral.

-I also feel like I know a bit more

-about St David too.

-Happy St David's Day to you all

-on Wednesday.

-Enjoy the celebrations.

-Three years ago

-to the June of this year...

-.. the singer, Beth Frazer from

-Anglesey had some terrible news.

-It changed her life forever.

-This next clip takes us back

-to the summer of 2014.

-Your life has changed dramatically

-over the past few months.

-At first, I thought it was hay fever

-as I get it every year.

-After being in hospital in Bangor

-and at the Walton in Liverpool...

-..they discovered a cystic

-brain tumour in the pineal gland.

-It is sitting beneath the brain...

-..and is considered

-the most dangerous brain surgery.

-It's knocked her for six...

-..and her life

-has been turned upside down.

-I can't work, drive or walk.

-One of the symptoms

-is breathlessness...

-..so I can't really sing

-in the same way either.

-# Open your heart to me

-# Open your heart... #

-We just want her

-to get back to how she was.

-# Open your heart to me #

-That was Beth's incredible story.

-It's great that she's recovering and

-restarted her career as a singer.

-We'll have a brand-new song from her

-at the end of the programme.

-That's all for now but in

-the next part of the programme...

-..we hear about the Y Selar Awards

-in Aberystwyth.

-It's an event that awards

-those musicians...

-..who left their mark

-on the Welsh music scene this year.

-Lisa rustles up a family dish

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-Rhodri Davies has the Welsh names

-for the various parts of Cardiff.

-Grab a quick cuppa

-and join me in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Aberystwyth is our next stop

-this morning...

-..for the Y Selar Awards.

-The evening awards those who

-left their mark on Welsh music...

-..in the last year.

-Enjoy the highlights

-of the Y Selar Awards of 2017.

-# Climbing and looking at the view

-# Are you expecting to be praised

-when you don't let it happen? #

-Who will win the awards?

-That was the question

-on everyone's lips in Aberystwyth.

-But everyone knew why the

-Y Selar Awards were so popular!

-I obviously love Welsh music.

-Every band in the country

-and even North Wales is here.

-We're here to listen to Welsh music

-and enjoy some culture.

-# One, two and one

-# I'm chasing you #

-It's an excellent night and

-the Welsh get to socialize together.

-I can meet friends and enjoy myself.

-This is the night

-that everyone dreams about.

-# I'm chasing you #

-The Y Selar Awards are great.

-# I give up on you #

-This is our fifth consecutive year

-of hosting the Y Selar Awards.

-It's grown into one of the biggest

-events in the music calendar.

-We wanted a festival in February.

-There's a lot of big music events

-and festivals over the summer...

-..but nothing

-in the cold winter months.

-We wanted this event to celebrate

-the successes of the past year.

-It has obviously worked.

-Thank you.

-This is the award

-for the Best Presenter.

-It's sponsored by Heno

-and I get to present it.

-In a few moments,

-I'll reveal the winner.

-Gerallt Pennant!

-Thank you.

-Welcome to the Y Selar Awards.

-Welcome to the Y Selar Awards.

-

-It's great to be here.

-The winner is Lisa Gwilym.

-Congratulations to you.

-Congratulations to you.

-

-Thank you.

-Winning this award

-means the world to me.

-It means that people

-still enjoy my programme.

-I love promoting the incredible

-music from Wales on a Wednesday.

-These events are so important...

-..to recognize the hard work

-of our musicians.

-It's voted for by our listeners

-who share their opinion...

-..and are still listening...

-..so it's very special

-and I treasure every award.

-Y Bandana was the main winner

-of the night...

-..who started by winning Song of

-the Year with Cyn I'r Lle Ma Gau.

-Y Bandana!

-Winning the Song of the Year

-is great.

-and the Llareggub Brass Band.

-Thanks for voting!

-Beca Dafydd won our competition

-It's for the Welsh music.

-Y Bandana won the Best Album Award

-at the Y Selar Awards for 2016.

-We were up against two fantastic

-bands in Candelas and Swnami.

-It's great that people appreciate

-what we've done in the last year.

-This was totally unexpected.

-I really didn't expect this

-so it's the icing on the cake.

-# Rhys is my name, I'm a sailor #

-Y Bandana was great.

-Gwilym Bowen is one of

-the best heroes in the world.

-I don't know why they split.

-# Always in the darkness #

-Yws Gwynedd was named

-Best Solo Artist for the third time.

-as I think of Yws Gwynedd as a band.

-That's just me.

-Candelas closed the night.

-Osian Williams

-won Best Instrumentalist.

-It's lovely to be here

-and it's always amazing.

-# Ignite your heart with the flame #

-Thank you very much.

-Congratulations to all the winners

-at the Y Selar Awards.

-Next, we venture to the kitchen.

-It's half term so Lisa Fearn rustled

-up a dish for the whole family.

-It's important to have a healthy,

-tasty supper that's simple to make.

-This dish is perfect for a family.

-It's full of fresh flavours and easy

-for Mam or Dad to throw together.

-I've started frying the chicken.

-You could use the breast

-or any cut or even a whole chicken.

-What have you got?

-I'm using the chicken thighs.

-There is a recipe for the dish...

-..but it's just about seeing

-what's in your fridge.

-People often have peppers on half

-or leftover from a salad.

-All you need to do

-is roughly chop them.

-It's a great recipe for anyone,

-not just a family.

-People want recipes for leftovers

-in the bottom of the fridge.

-This is a fresh, tasty dish...

-..as opposed to something

-that just uses leftovers.

-We don't always like ingredients

-that have got to be used.

-You'll see from the colours

-that it's an attractive dish.

-Remove the pith because it can have

-a bitter flavour.

-These are thrown in

-with the chicken.

-Do you just brown the chicken?

-Yes, I've left the skin

-on the chicken...

-..as the fat in the skin

-is full of flavour.

-You could remove the skin

-after cooking it.

-Browning it first means it's crisp

-and not limp in the casserole.

-I don't like calling it a casserole

-as it sounds old-fashioned...

-..so I'll refer to it as a traybake.

-Next, there's an onion.

-You can use any kind of onion

-or a leek would add sweetness.

-Can you use spring onions?

-Can you use spring onions?

-

-Yes, you can.

-Add them at the end

-as they cook quickly.

-I've got garlic.

-The dish will be baked so you don't

-have to chop the garlic finely.

-You can use as much as you like

-but I'll add two cloves today.

-Garlic is great at this time of year

-for the seasonal colds.

-Throw in some home-grown rosemary.

-You don't need to boil the potatoes

-separately.

-Simply cut these raw baby potatoes

-into quarters and add them.

-The potatoes

-weren't cooked beforehand.

-No, these are totally raw.

-Cut them into small pieces so they

-have enough time to cook properly.

-These can go in the pan.

-Add button mushrooms whole

-or chop up the larger ones.

-You're throwing everything in!

-You could add some olives

-if you've got some left in a jar.

-I'd leave those out.

-Sorry, but I don't like them.

-Add them and you can leave them

-on the side of your plate...

-..because they help to give the dish

-a real depth of flavour.

-I know you don't like them

-but you won't notice the flavour.

-It depends on your children

-but you can add chilli.

-I teach children and a lot of them

-like their food to have a kick!

-We'll add a touch of chilli.

-I think that's everything.

-Add the stock at the end.

-Is that vegetable stock?

-Is that vegetable stock?

-

-Use vegetable or chicken stock.

-The recipe does say to add a tin

-of tomatoes but I haven't got any.

-You might not have one

-in your cupboard.

-You can leave it out

-as the stock adds plenty of liquid.

-You could even add

-some cherry tomatoes at the end.

-This pan has a plastic handle

-so it isn't ovenproof.

-I need to transfer it

-to an ovenproof dish.

-Can you use a casserole dish that's

-suitable for the hob and oven?

-Yes, and that's what I've got here.

-It's one of those heavy dishes.

-Do you need to cover it?

-No, because I like the top

-to brown a little.

-I won't use this one

-because it's touched the raw meat.

-You can see that the chicken

-has become crispy.

-Add the cherry tomatoes

-near the end of the cooking time.

-They disintegrate

-if you add them at the start.

-You want them to retain their shape.

-You can see that the liquid

-has evaporated.

-The potatoes have also cooked.

-It's very healthy.

-It's very healthy.

-

-Yes, it is.

-Add tomatoes as opposed to ketchup.

-This can be served

-with some green vegetables.

-Children should see green vegetables

-a few times before eating it.

-The end result

-is a colourful and delicious meal.

-It can be served in a small bowl

-for the children.

-Would you like to try it?

-Would you like to try it?

-

-Yes, let me taste it.

-I'm going to dive in.

-I'm going for the chicken.

-It's straight from the oven

-so take care.

-Mmm!

-It's hot.

-It's hot.

-

-Yes, it is hot.

-I'm sorry.

-But it's delicious!

-You can see all this morning's items

-on the iPlayer or on Clic.

-Type "Bore Da" into the search box

-and you'll find us easily.

-Next, we're going to hear about the

-Welsh names for parts of Cardiff.

-These Welsh names

-can be a topic of discussion.

-You might wonder why the Heath

-has two different Welsh names.

-Rhodri went to solve the mystery

-surrounding the names in Cardiff.

-If you take the time to look around

-when you're walking in this city...

-..you'll be surprised at some of

-the Welsh names that come to light.

-How many residents of Grangetown...

-..are familiar

-with the name of Trelluest?

-The late historian, John Davies

-lived in Grangetown...

-..and is responsible

-for the name of Trelluest.

-He took the word of lluest...

-..which was a term that was used

-for some barracks in Ceredigion...

-..and borrowed the name

-to create Trelluest.

-It was a conscious creation.

-Welsh speakers of the city

-used the name of the Grange.

-The clash between

-the old and the modern...

-..is apparent with the names of

-Mynydd Bychan or Waun for the Heath.

-Language has always been important

-in the city's history.

-The names found on the outskirts

-of Cardiff are proof of it.

-The city centre

-has always been very small.

-It stretched from the castle

-to the bottom of St Mary's Street...

-..which is now Queen Street.

-It was surrounded

-by Welsh speaking farmers.

-They spoke Welsh...

-..until the early 20th century

-in places such as Rhiwbina.

-Lisvane is now part of the city...

-..but housed Welsh speaking farmers

-until the mid 20th century.

-Welsh farms and fields were within

-walking distance of the city centre.

-They also spoke

-a unique form of Welsh.

-The residents of Whitchurch are

-familiar with the Velindre area...

-..but many might question

-this spelling which is Velindra...

-..not because of the "v" at the

-start but due to the "a" at the end.

-It's a perfect example of the

-old traditional dialect of the area.

-The dialect of Glamorgan and Gwent

-or South East Wales is Wenhwyseg.

-One trait is that the last letter

-of a word changed from "e" to "a."

-People in Gwynedd do this and

-say "pentra" instead of "pentre"...

-..but it happened in Cardiff too.

-For the city's

-Welsh speakers of today...

-..these archives and stories are

-both informative and educational.

-It was interesting

-and I learnt a lot.

-I now know I live in Cimdda Llandaf

-and not Victoria Park.

-We learnt that the city

-has a very diverse history.

-Both languages existed

-side by side for centuries.

-I live in Canton or Treganna.

-There's been disagreements

-about the history...

-..and identity

-that stems from the placenames.

-My family have lived in Cardiff

-since the start of the 19th Century.

-I'd never heard anyone

-use Waun or Waun Ddyfal...

-..but I was aware of Mynydd Bychan.

-Languages get mixed

-and change over the centuries.

-People enjoy hearing the history.

-Living in the city, you can look

-back at the layers of history.

-We have some excellent maps.

-You can go online and

-view the tithe maps of the 1840s...

-..as well as some old newspapers.

-People can learn about Cardiff

-and Wales from their own homes.

-That was very interesting.

-Make sure you join us

-in a few minutes...

-..to enjoy the highlights

-of London Fashion Week...

-..to meet the Welsh speakers

-of Liverpool...

-..and hear the story of Brett Johns,

-the cage fighter from Pontarddulais.

-I'll see you shortly.

-Welcome back.

-The eyes of the world

-were on London last week...

-..as some world famous designers

-exhibited at London Fashion Week.

-A highlight of the week...

-..was the show by the Merthyr

-designer, Julien Macdonald.

-One of the most exciting events

-at London Fashion Week is On/Off.

-On/Off is now part

-of the schedule of the week.

-This is where you'll find

-the truly creative spirits!

-The Jayne Pierson show

-was worth seeing, Elin.

-I loved everything

-that I saw on her catwalk today.

-The location was a perfect match

-to her collection.

-It had everything from the styling,

-composition, materials and colours.

-I loved it!

-It's rare that Elin Style Doctors

-sees something that she loves!

-I liked that she used pale colours

-compared to her harsh graffiti work.

-Yes, and this collection

-can be worn by anyone.

-There's something to suit everyone.

-Our viewers are more familiar with

-seeing you in glamorous venues...

-..but this is a new location

-for Jayne.

-It's a bit more funky

-and she's gone back to basics.

-This is all about the fashion so she

-wanted this to be a blank canvas...

-..to showcase the funky styles

-of the collection.

-I want those massive boots

-that go up to the knee.

-I'll be stealing those later!

-Are you happy with the make-up

-by L'Oreal?

-Do they match the quality

-that you use on Heno?

-I doubt the Heno presenters

-would like this make-up.

-I think it's fab

-and I can't wait to show you.

-Holly helped to design the Luna

-Amani bags in this exciting show.

-Yes, it's was fabulous

-and in a great location.

-The collection was perfect.

-The colours were bang on

-for autumn / winter 2017.

-You also photographed the bags

-for the show.

-Yes, I took the photographs

-for the Luna Look Book.

-All the bags

-have been photographed by me!

-London Fashion Week is not complete

-without some royal presence.

-No, not Huw Fash but the King

-of Fashion, Julien Macdonald!

-I've been watching you

-during the show.

-Composed, collected, very calm

-amongst all the chaos.

-How do you keep control of that?

-I'm not a control freak

-but perhaps I am.

-You oversee it all when your name

-is attached to something you love.

-The drinks, the chocolates,

-the hair, make-up, lights and music.

-It's my party

-and I'll cry if I want to!

-I want to wear everything that

-goes down that catwalk - always!

-He knows how to dress women.

-It's another London Fashion Week.

-You've moved back from Italy

-to design in London.

-Yes, I've returned from Italy

-to live in London.

-It's great to be back

-and this really feels like home.

-What are the must-see shows

-during the week?

-I find the British designers

-the most interesting...

-..such as Julien Macdonald,

-Simone Rocha and Molly Goddard...

-..who have shown feminine designs

-that are lovely to see again.

-That was excellent and Huw Fash

-obviously had a memorable week.

-At one time, Liverpool was dubbed

-the capital of North Wales.

-Thousands moved to the city

-to live and find work.

-These days, it's the university that

-attracts young people to the city...

-..as Gerallt discovered.

-Three Welsh students

-call Liverpool their home.

-Chloe Roberts

-is studying Physical Education.

-Gwenno Dafydd is studying Law.

-Cai Llywelyn Gruffydd

-is studying Sound Technology.

-All three love the city.

-We know about the Liverpool Welsh

-but what about the Welsh Society?

-The Welsh Society

-was established in September...

-..and we're officially part

-of the John Moores Societies.

-There's 200 members...

-..and we organize

-a lot of different trips and crawls.

-The society

-and Welsh life is thriving.

-Yes, and it's just like

-being at home!

-A lot of the street names are Welsh

-which is really cool.

-You obviously love it.

-You obviously love it.

-

-Yes, I do.

-Why did you decide to come

-to Liverpool 18 months ago, Gwenno?

-I had a lot of fun in Sixth Form

-at Ysgol y Berwyn in Bala.

-I enjoyed it so much and got

-a lot out of that experience...

-..and didn't think I would get

-anything better.

-A lot of the Sixth Form

-went to Bangor or Aberystwyth.

-I could have gone too as it meant

-I wouldn't need to make new friends.

-But I wanted to try something new

-and go somewhere else.

-I could establish myself...

-..and prove I could compete with

-first language English students...

-..and achieve

-the same grades as them.

-I hope I can succeed

-but we'll wait and see!

-I'm a little too young

-to remember The Beatles.

-What's the music scene

-like in Liverpool these days?

-It's evolved a lot

-since the days of The Beatles.

-There's some great music venues...

-..such as Frederiks jazz bar

-which is on the street over there.

-In 24 Kitchen Street,

-you get house music and a lot more.

-There's also concerts...

-..for those people who enjoy

-chart music and music in Bangor.

-What's it like

-for a Welshman studying music?

-We haven't had any Welsh gigs yet...

-..but as a society,

-we plan to change all that...

-..and organize a few Welsh gigs

-in the coming year.

-That would be great!

-We might even host an Eisteddfod

-with choirs singing Welsh songs.

-How would you describe Liverpool?

-How would you describe Liverpool?

-

-Fun and full of life!

-Scouse, sesh and noise!

-Welcoming, lively and a lot of fun!

-Yes, Liverpool is a very fun place.

-I was raised an hour away

-from the city...

-..and have fond memories

-of Liverpool.

-The career of the cage fighter

-from Pontarddulais, Brett Johns...

-..is going

-from strength to strength.

-Last week, Brett visited Heno

-to chat about his experiences.

-Welcome to you.

-It's wonderful to have you back

-as we enjoy your company.

-You've been really busy

-so what have you been doing?

-After Belfast, it was Christmas.

-I had to enjoy myself

-but I put on a lot of weight.

-I've lost a stone since Christmas...

-..but need to lose a stone

-and a half for my next fight...

-..on 18 March at the 02 in London.

-I've got a lot of work to do.

-It's quite a fight against someone

-called Ian Entwistle.

-Who is he?

-He's from England and has

-already had three fights in the UFC.

-He won one and lost two.

-He's very dangerous if I'm honest.

-I'm not looking beyond that fight

-but think I can win.

-I think my boxing, wrestling

-and grappling is better.

-It will all depend

-on the night itself.

-I'll have to watch out

-for his foot locks.

-You need to prepare and lose weight.

-What will you do

-from now until the fight?

-You've got a month

-to lose a stone and a half!

-Yes, I need to lose

-a stone and a half.

-How will you do that?

-I'll do it through dieting

-and eating the right sort of food.

-During the week of the fight,

-I'll stop all carbohydrates.

-The day before the fight

-is the dehydration phase.

-I'll have hot baths

-and use a sauna.

-When I go running, I wear shorts,

-a t-shirt and trainers...

-..but you wear something else

-when you go running.

-I wear sweatsuits and bin bags

-to help lose excess water.

-Every bead of sweat

-counts on the scales.

-You watch your diet too.

-Yes, and chocolate

-is one of my biggest weaknesses...

-..but I can't eat any chocolate

-between now and the fight.

-I think that will be

-my biggest battle!

-That's how you prepare physically

-but what about mentally?

-I find it very difficult to be

-in camp and get a lot of injuries.

-Last May,

-I had surgery on my shoulder.

-It was difficult to get back.

-I spent the summer in France

-watching the football...

-..and I ate and drank too much!

-I had to work hard

-to lose all that weight.

-I was lucky to have Belfast

-and have a great fight out there.

-I'm back in the right place,

-at the correct weight for me...

-..and I'm ready to take

-that next step.

-Your next fight is against

-Ian Entwistle at the 02.

-How many people

-will be watching that fight?

-I'm not entirely sure.

-Brad Pickett is one of my heroes.

-I was lucky enough to train with him

-three weeks ago.

-He's London-born

-and faces his last fight...

-..so a lot of his fans

-will be there.

-A lot of people are coming

-from Wales to support me too.

-This is my home fight as the UFC

-doesn't hold many fights in Wales.

-I hope that changes

-in the coming years.

-There might be 20,000 at the 02.

-That will be

-quite a platform for you.

-You always talk about the importance

-of your team in Swansea.

-You don't want to change your team.

-No, because my team

-is very special to me.

-They have been with me

-from the start.

-I don't class them as friends

-but family.

-I've said it in other interviews

-that I live and sleep in that gym.

-It's my home

-and I want to stay there.

-When I go to Vegas, I want to say

-that I'm a Boy from Bont!

-You mentioned Vegas and you've

-spoken about it in the past.

-How close are you

-to getting that fight in Vegas?

-In my head, I'm going to beat

-Ian Entwistle on 18 March...

-..and hope to get the chance

-to ask for an opponent.

-I've got a name in my head

-but I can't look beyond Ian.

-I need to beat him first...

-..before looking to fight

-an American in Vegas.

-The UFC might organize something

-so I get a good fight in America.

-Good luck for the future, Brett.

-In the final part

-of today's programme...

-..we celebrate

-Random Acts of Kindness Day...

-..with Ysgol Dyffryn y Glowyr.

-Ieuan has gardening advice

-for the season.

-We close with a song by the singer

-from Anglesey, Beth Frazer.

-Don't you move a muscle!

-Welcome back.

-Last Friday was a day when we were

-all meant to be friendly to others.

-It was Random Acts of Kindness Day.

-I celebrated the day with the pupils

-of Ysgol Dyffryn y Glowyr.

-We hoped to put a smile on the faces

-of the residents of Cwrt Enfys.

-Today is Random Acts

-of Kindness Day.

-As a kind person myself...

-..I've come to Cwrt Enfys in

-Ystradgynlais to share the love.

-I have an army of helpers

-from Ysgol Dyffryn y Glowyr.

-Are you ready?

-Are you ready?

-

-Yes!

-Cakes for everyone!

-Be careful with those cakes.

-Over 90 people live at Cwrt Enfys.

-It was challenging to negotiate

-the corridors and the rooms.

-Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day.

-Is that nice?

-The relationship between

-the young and elderly is important.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-You're welcome.

-It's very important.

-You can see

-that it lifts their spirits.

-It takes them back to when

-their own children were young.

-It's great to see them

-and they bring cakes as well!

-Thank you ever so much.

-I am honoured. Thank you.

-We've enjoyed chatting with them

-and giving them cakes.

-I haven't been to a place

-like this before.

-It's a new experience for me.

-I'll be back to do it again.

-It's been special for me because

-I've given cakes to old people.

-Seeing them smile

-makes me happy too.

-We've worked very hard.

-We've worked very hard.

-

-Yes!

-There are a few cakes left,

-so there's just one thing for it...

-..cheers!

-Yes, I had a memorable day.

-Thanks to the children

-and the residents for their company.

-Next, we venture to the garden for

-some gardening advice from Ieuan.

-It's a relatively quiet period

-in the garden...

-..so February is the ideal time

-to clear your flower beds...

-..do some weeding and prepare

-the soil for planting in the spring.

-I've got more work than usual...

-..because this corner

-has been neglected...

-..thanks to three consecutive

-wet and windy winters.

-As a result, this border

-has been overrun with brambles.

-The brambles died over the winter

-so are easier to clear away.

-Cut back and collect the branches

-into a heap to be burned...

-..before attempting the tough task

-of removing the roots.

-These are very stubborn...

-..so dig deep to get rid of them.

-This one was incredibly stubborn

-and there's more to clear...

-..but I'll turn

-my attention to another task...

-..which is the pruning

-of this Wiegela shrub.

-It was almost choked

-by the brambles...

-..so the stems fought for light

-and grew upwards...

-..as opposed to growing outwards.

-The Wiegela generally flowers in May

-and June on branches of a year old.

-It's more common to prune them in

-the summer after they have flowered.

-There was very little new growth

-on this shrub last year...

-..so it needs severe pruning.

-It's best to do this in the winter

-before the new growth in the spring.

-If you have a similar shrub...

-..prune one in every three of the

-old branches back to the main stem.

-They are usually about

-an inch and a half thick.

-Do the same next winter and

-complete it the following winter.

-It opens up the shrub...

-..and the older branches

-don't really flower.

-This shrub is more complicated

-due to its poor condition.

-You can prune every branch

-to just a foot above ground level...

-..but the shrub will not flower

-again until next year...

-..so I'm going to make

-a few compromises.

-I need to remove

-this horizontal branch...

-..but this year,

-I'll only cut it back this point...

-..where there's a new stem.

-I need to remove all

-of this thick, old branch too...

-..but for the time being...

-..I'll only cut it back

-to where there's a new stem.

-These few bits of pruning

-have helped the shape of the shrub.

-It encourages new growth

-from the base.

-Keep these year-old branches...

-..as they will flower this year.

-I'll shorten the taller branches

-in the summer...

-..after they have flowered.

-Let's get back

-to the boring task...

-..of removing the roots

-of the brambles.

-Thank you, Ieuan.

-That's all for this morning.

-The hour has flown by!

-We close the programme with

-Beth Frazer singing Tanio y Fflam.

-Enjoy the rest of your day

-and good morning to you all.

-# I walked down the street

-# You passed in your car

-# You weren't alone

-# Picked up the phone

-"Hello, are you OK?"

-# The answer was, "Yes, thanks.

-What are you doing tonight?"

-# Acting stupid

-# "Nothing, come over and

-we'll have a little jam and chat"

-# Who's the fool now?

-# And you pull up

-# Outside my house

-# And knock on my door

-# One, two, three

-# And you expect the welcome

-# You've always had

-# But it's too late

-# To ignite the flame

-# I'm not as stupid as I look

-# I saw you with her today

-# And so

-# Don't pull up

-# Outside my house

-# Or knock on my door

-# One, two, three

-# Don't expect the welcome

-# You've always had

-# It's too late

-# To ignite the flame

-# Ooh-ooh

-# It's too late

-# To ignite the flame #
