-Stay with us and find out.

0:00:330:00:36

-Welcome to Adre.

0:00:430:00:45

-It's time to hunt for clues to see

-who lives in this lovely house...

0:00:450:00:50

-..which overlooks Cardigan Bay.

0:00:500:00:53

-This person is a musician.

0:01:210:01:23

-He's a bit of a joker too.

0:01:230:01:26

-'Sech chi'n siarad Cymraeg,

-'sech chi'n gwbod.

0:01:270:01:31

-If you spoke Welsh, you'd know.

0:01:320:01:34

-These are lyrics from the song

-Nwy Yn Y Nen.

0:01:440:01:47

-There's gas in the sky

-And the moon is white

0:01:470:01:50

-And something's wrong in the town.

0:01:500:01:53

-I think the person

-who wrote those lyrics...

0:01:530:01:57

-..lives in this house.

0:01:580:02:00

-This person is also an actor.

0:02:050:02:07

-He appeared in this film,

-back in the 1970s.

0:02:070:02:10

-It's a film called Grand Slam.

0:02:100:02:12

-Here he is!

0:02:130:02:14

-Do you recognize him?

0:02:150:02:16

-This is a Royal Television Society

-award for the Best Presenter.

0:02:210:02:26

-This man is certainly multitalented.

0:02:260:02:29

-There are lots of signs in this

-house that this man loves to travel.

0:02:350:02:40

-Venice, Africa, Japan...

0:02:400:02:43

-..and over here, Mongolia.

0:02:440:02:47

-Who is this man?

-Have you worked it out?

0:02:470:02:50

-He's a poet, a singer, an actor,

-a comedian and an entertainer.

0:02:510:02:56

-Who is he?

0:02:570:02:58

-Dewi Pws, of course.

0:02:590:03:00

-I'll go and find him...

0:03:010:03:02

-..while you watch him in action

-on Straeon Tafarn.

0:03:020:03:06

-She'll never find me!

0:03:100:03:12

-Hiya! I'll have a half, please.

0:03:130:03:16

-I received a warm welcome

-at Cann Office Hotel.

0:03:170:03:20

-I'm amazed by its stories

-and its colourful characters...

0:03:200:03:25

-..and I've enjoyed learning about

-Llangadfan's history too.

0:03:250:03:29

-Myrddin ap Dafydd, the poet,

-was equally impressed.

0:03:300:03:34

-The Cann and its warm welcome

-In here you'll find real characters

0:03:350:03:39

-The Cann's quota before an event

0:03:390:03:41

-The house of owls,

-The Cann's truly Welsh pint.

0:03:420:03:46

-Dewi and Rhiannon, his wife, have

-lived in this house for nine years.

0:03:510:03:57

-He's made a name for himself

-in several fields...

0:04:000:04:04

-..but he first found fame

-as a musician.

0:04:040:04:07

-I formed my first band...

0:04:090:04:11

-..with a lad called Robert Stephens

-when we were at school.

0:04:110:04:15

-We'd both learned

-to play the guitar.

0:04:160:04:18

-We called ourselves The Outlanders

-and we played the hits of the time.

0:04:180:04:23

-# Freight train, freight train #

0:04:240:04:26

-Nobody sang in Welsh back then.

0:04:260:04:28

-# Freight train, freight train #

0:04:290:04:31

-We played in the Labour Club

-in Swansea...

0:04:310:04:34

-..and we were paid ten shillings,

-which is 50p in today's money.

0:04:340:04:39

-After our first two songs,

-the man said...

0:04:390:04:42

-.."Go up the Tory Club.

-You'd go down better there."

0:04:440:04:48

-That was the end of the first gig!

0:04:480:04:50

-We got paid and off we went.

0:04:510:04:52

-My next band was Tebot Piws.

0:04:550:04:57

-That was during my student days.

0:04:570:04:59

-We had a brilliant time.

0:05:000:05:02

-We wrote a lot of silly songs

-and some profound ones too.

0:05:020:05:06

-Most of our songs were silly

-and it was great fun.

0:05:060:05:09

-I then moved on from Tebot Piws

-to be a member of Edward H.

0:05:100:05:14

-We sang pop songs, really.

0:05:150:05:17

-But Edward H also sang nice songs,

-profound songs and funny songs.

0:05:170:05:22

-I like the funny songs

-because I like to laugh.

0:05:220:05:25

-I then joined a band because

-I wanted to play with my hero...

0:05:270:05:31

-..Tich Gwilym.

0:05:320:05:33

-He was an amazing guitarist.

0:05:330:05:35

-He was brilliant.

0:05:350:05:37

-The band was called Mochyn 'Apus.

0:05:380:05:41

-Then, when I moved down here

-to Tresaith, I joined Radwm.

0:05:420:05:47

-You're a Children's Poet Laureate...

0:05:480:05:51

-..which means you visit schools

-helping children to write poetry.

0:05:510:05:57

-Do you enjoy it?

0:05:570:05:58

-It's a massive honour

-to be a Children's Poet Laureate...

0:05:590:06:03

-..when you see the list

-of proper poets who've done the job.

0:06:030:06:07

-I sometimes visit a school and

-one English boy has just arrived.

0:06:070:06:12

-I don't want to speak English

-but he's new.

0:06:120:06:15

-I don't know if I should

-but I speak English to him.

0:06:150:06:19

-Of course,

-I speak Welsh to the class...

0:06:190:06:22

-..but I always go back to the child

-and ask him if he understands.

0:06:220:06:27

-You see him start to understand.

0:06:290:06:32

-There are Welsh learners in

-this village and they're brilliant.

0:06:320:06:36

-There are 12 of them.

0:06:370:06:38

-Are you their Welsh tutor?

0:06:380:06:40

-I was a tutor for two years.

0:06:400:06:42

-I held a class called

-A Pint Of Welsh in the Ship.

0:06:430:06:47

-They came more for the pint

-than the Welsh...

0:06:470:06:50

-..but we had a lot of fun.

0:06:500:06:52

-Around four of the female learners

-are now fluent Welsh speakers.

0:06:520:06:57

-We've just seen a clip of you

-in the pub stories series on S4C...

0:06:570:07:02

-..called Straeon Tafarn.

0:07:020:07:04

-It was a perfect series for you!

0:07:040:07:06

-I wanted to do chapel stories but

-S4C said, "No! We want you in pubs."

0:07:070:07:12

-They already had

-too many programmes about chapels!

0:07:130:07:17

-I meet great people when I film the

-series and I learn a lot from them.

0:07:170:07:22

-I've done three series now.

0:07:220:07:24

-What about the acting?

0:07:250:07:26

-I started acting on Pobol Y Cwm.

0:07:270:07:29

-I then acted lots

-of silly characters on Torri Gwynt.

0:07:300:07:34

-The days filming Torri Gwynt

-were the best days of my life.

0:07:340:07:38

-I was paid for enjoying myself!

0:07:400:07:42

-How do you remember jokes?

0:07:430:07:45

-I never remember punchlines.

0:07:450:07:47

-The only way I do remember them

-is if you say something...

0:07:480:07:52

-..and a joke about it

-pops into my head.

0:07:520:07:55

-I'm sure you'll tell a joke

-in every room...

0:07:570:08:00

-..as you give me

-a tour of the house.

0:08:000:08:02

-This is the first space we see

-as we enter your house.

0:08:060:08:10

-You love hats, don't you?

0:08:110:08:13

-They keep you warm.

0:08:140:08:15

-They keep you warm.

-

-There's far too much clutter here!

0:08:150:08:18

-My next door neighbour gave me this.

0:08:190:08:21

-He said, "Here's a present from me.

-I'm going back to Ireland."

0:08:220:08:26

-And that's what he gave you?

0:08:270:08:28

-And that's what he gave you?

-

-Yes - a German army helmet.

0:08:280:08:31

-Tell me about that Buddha.

0:08:310:08:33

-I've been to Tibet.

-Buddhists are nice people.

0:08:340:08:37

-Rub his tummy for luck.

0:08:370:08:40

-I don't like clutter

-but Rhiannon loves it!

0:08:410:08:44

-These pictures of Tresaith are old.

-They're historic.

0:08:440:08:49

-Let's take a look at your sea view.

0:08:490:08:52

-Let's take a look at your sea view.

-

-After you.

0:08:520:08:54

-Dewi, this is a lovely room

-with an amazing view.

0:08:560:08:59

-That's the best thing about it.

0:09:000:09:02

-I turn this chair around

-and look out to sea.

0:09:020:09:05

-I shout at the tourists, "Go home!"

0:09:050:09:08

-There are lots of pictures in here.

0:09:090:09:11

-Ogwyn Davies from Tregaron

-painted that fantastic picture.

0:09:110:09:16

-That's what he sees through the

-window from his house near Tregaron.

0:09:160:09:21

-The canvas itself is made of soil

-taken from the fields.

0:09:250:09:30

-Those are the names

-of the fields he can see.

0:09:320:09:35

-Yes. I love it.

0:09:360:09:38

-Is that your mother?

0:09:380:09:40

-Yes. She's gone.

0:09:400:09:42

-Mam was brilliant.

0:09:420:09:43

-That's where I get

-my gift of the gab.

0:09:440:09:47

-This is where you socialize

-with your friends...

0:09:570:10:00

-..and you write your music.

0:10:000:10:02

-How many guitars do you need?

0:10:020:10:04

-How many guitars do you need?

-

-This is my latest one.

0:10:040:10:06

-Rhiannon bought the other one

-for me to take down the pub.

0:10:060:10:10

-It isn't valuable.

0:10:100:10:12

-This is my banjar.

0:10:120:10:14

-It sounds like a banjo

-but you play it like a guitar.

0:10:140:10:18

-It isn't a banjo. It's a banjar.

0:10:230:10:25

-Yes - half banjo, half guitar.

0:10:250:10:27

-What's written on it?

0:10:270:10:29

-A woman I know

-comes to some of my gigs.

0:10:310:10:35

-'If you spoke Welsh, you'd know'.

0:10:350:10:38

-'Sech chi'n siarad Cymraeg

-'sech chi'n gwbod'.

0:10:380:10:41

-This lady refuses to speak Welsh.

0:10:420:10:45

-One day, she'll ask,

-"What does that say?"

0:10:450:10:48

-I'll reply,

-"If you spoke Welsh you'd know."

0:10:480:10:51

-What does it say?

-If you spoke Welsh you'd know.

0:10:520:10:55

-It's a joke.

0:10:560:10:57

-To the kitchen next?

0:10:580:11:00

-To the kitchen next?

-

-Yes, but I don't know where it is!

0:11:000:11:02

-You don't spend much time cooking?

0:11:030:11:05

-You don't spend much time cooking?

-

-No. It isn't my favourite thing.

0:11:050:11:08

-What's your favourite food?

0:11:090:11:11

-Every night, I want a curry

-or a chilli. Something spicy.

0:11:110:11:15

-Chillies are vital to me.

0:11:160:11:17

-Every hour, on the hour, I hear

-a strange noise coming from here.

0:11:180:11:22

-It comes from up there.

-I love stupid things.

0:11:240:11:28

-TARZAN'S CRY

0:11:290:11:31

-Tarzan!

0:11:310:11:32

-There are old photos

-at the top of the stairs.

0:11:340:11:37

-Nice idea.

0:11:370:11:39

-Mam and Dad there.

0:11:390:11:41

-Is that you as a boy,

-sitting on your dad's lap?

0:11:410:11:44

-Yes. He played for MCC -

-Morriston Cricket Club.

0:11:450:11:48

-I was a mascot.

0:11:480:11:50

-Every time I turned up dressed

-as a mini cricketer, the team won.

0:11:500:11:55

-This is a teeny tiny door.

0:11:550:11:57

-Yes. This is our tardis.

0:11:570:11:58

-It's a small door

-leading to a big bathroom.

0:11:590:12:02

-This is a spare bedroom.

0:12:040:12:06

-There are two guest rooms

-upstairs too.

0:12:080:12:11

-Our bedroom is over here.

0:12:110:12:12

-There's even more to this house -

-a cellar.

0:12:170:12:20

-We're in the cellar.

0:12:220:12:24

-What do we have here?

0:12:240:12:25

-Records.

0:12:260:12:28

-Records.

-

-Yes. That was from an old cartoon.

0:12:280:12:30

-I remember the cartoon Hanner Dwsin.

0:12:300:12:33

-Did you voice one of the characters?

0:12:340:12:35

-Did you voice one of the characters?

-

-Yes. I was Y Cysgod.

0:12:350:12:37

-He was the baddy.

0:12:380:12:39

-Meic Stevens.

0:12:400:12:42

-I have a lot of old records.

0:12:430:12:45

-I've collected many things.

0:12:450:12:47

-Meic Stevens gave that painting

-to Mam, when she was alive.

0:12:480:12:53

-He wrote,

-'To Mrs Pws, Meic Stevens'.

0:12:530:12:56

-Did he paint it himself?

0:12:560:12:58

-Did he paint it himself?

-

-Yes. He's a good artist.

0:12:580:13:00

-I'm really fond of masks.

0:13:010:13:03

-I was looking at zombies and voodoo.

0:13:040:13:10

-I bought that from some man.

0:13:100:13:12

-It was really dirty.

0:13:120:13:14

-It was covered in spider's webs

-and dust.

0:13:140:13:17

-It's a genuine voodoo mask.

0:13:190:13:22

-It's been used in ceremonies.

0:13:220:13:25

-Rhiannon didn't like it.

0:13:260:13:28

-I started to think she had a point.

0:13:300:13:32

-But I'd flow home safely,

-so I thought it must be fine.

0:13:320:13:36

-Rhiannon cleaned it up

-and now, it looks happy.

0:13:360:13:40

-Join me after the break...

0:13:440:13:46

-..to spend more time

-at home with Dewi Pws.

-live in Tresaith forever?

0:15:340:15:38

-and its wonderful people...

0:15:400:15:43

-..but I could live

-anywhere in Wales...

-I spent part of my week

-living in Y Felinheli...

0:16:130:16:16

-I'm not very religious

-but I like to sing hymns.

0:16:170:16:20

-There's a community there.

0:16:210:16:23

-Yes, so I go to chapel

-in the morning...

0:16:230:16:26

-..and play golf in the afternoon

-in Cardigan or in Cwmrhydneuadd.

0:16:260:16:31

-You're a golfer?

0:16:310:16:32

-You don't strike me as a golfer.

0:16:320:16:34

-You don't strike me as a golfer.

-

-No - I strike the ball!

0:16:340:16:36

-Do you play?

0:16:370:16:39

-I've played once or twice.

0:16:390:16:41

-Do you fancy a game? Let's go.

0:16:420:16:44

-Do you fancy a game? Let's go.

-

-That's a challenge.

0:16:440:16:46

-Maybe I'm good at golf.

0:16:460:16:48

-Maybe I'm good at golf.

-

-Maybe.

0:16:480:16:49

-Maybe not!

0:16:490:16:51

-Little Red Car

0:16:540:16:55

-You've held a club before.

0:17:020:17:04

-Have you had a lesson?

0:17:040:17:05

-Yes, I had two lessons

-many years ago.

0:17:060:17:09

-All you do is swing your club and

-not think about hitting the ball.

0:17:110:17:16

-You swing and the ball

-is in the club's path.

0:17:170:17:20

-Good.

0:17:200:17:22

-I don't think you'll reach the flag

-today because it's windy.

0:17:220:17:26

-Stay there. I'm going for a pint!

0:17:280:17:30

-Like that.

0:17:340:17:36

-It's your turn.

0:17:380:17:40

-Swing it.

0:17:410:17:42

-Let's try one more time.

0:17:440:17:45

-Let's try one more time.

-

-That was useless!

0:17:450:17:46

-Let's go down to the green.

0:17:480:17:50

-We're on the green, at last!

0:17:550:17:57

-Everyone putts differently.

0:17:580:18:00

-Back and through.

0:18:010:18:02

-I came up short.

0:18:060:18:07

-You have a go. Get it in the hole.

0:18:080:18:11

-Who are you usual golf partners?

0:18:120:18:14

-Who are you usual golf partners?

-

-I play alone. Nobody likes me!

0:18:140:18:16

-I've played golf

-with lots of people.

0:18:170:18:19

-Tim Rice. We won a prize.

0:18:200:18:23

-Bryn Terfel.

0:18:230:18:24

-Gareth Edwards.

0:18:250:18:26

-All the rugby boys play golf.

0:18:260:18:28

-I've been lucky enough

-to play pro-celeb golf.

0:18:280:18:32

-Concentrate! Don't hit it too hard.

0:18:320:18:35

-Oh, not bad!

0:18:360:18:38

-You finished closer than me.

0:18:380:18:40

-You finished closer than me.

-

-In it goes!

0:18:400:18:42

-Oh, no! Mishit!

0:18:440:18:46

-Let's go and have a pint.

0:18:470:18:49

-Yes, or a cuppa.

0:18:490:18:50

-One day, I can play like Seve.

0:18:570:18:59

-Everything goes perfectly.

0:19:000:19:02

-The next day, I'm like

-the Red Arrows down the course!

0:19:020:19:06

-What's hole-in-one in Welsh?

0:19:060:19:08

-Twll mewn un?

0:19:080:19:10

-Twll mewn un?

-

-Yes, people say twll mewn un.

0:19:100:19:12

-Twll ag un - a hole with one shot.

0:19:120:19:15

-Twll ag un is a good translation

-of hole-in-one.

0:19:150:19:18

-I've had a hole-in-one three times.

-It's all down to luck.

0:19:210:19:25

-How good are you?

-What's your handicap?

0:19:250:19:28

-I'm extremely good!

0:19:280:19:29

-I'm extremely good!

-

-So am I.

0:19:290:19:30

-I play off 11.

0:19:310:19:33

-That's OK.

0:19:330:19:35

-What appeals to you about golf?

0:19:350:19:38

-It all started...

0:19:380:19:39

-..when I went to a pitch and putt

-in Cardiff with Emyr Wyn.

0:19:400:19:44

-It was a small course in a park.

0:19:440:19:46

-Emyr Wyn, who acts in Pobol Y Cwm

-and who sings with Mynediad Am Ddim.

0:19:470:19:52

-Yes, and I was in Pobol Y Cwm too

-at the time.

0:19:530:19:56

-We had a lot of spare time

-and that's why we took up golf.

0:19:560:20:00

-We thought, "Hey! This is OK."

0:20:000:20:02

-Emyr Wyn then bought some clubs

-and he persuaded me to buy some too.

0:20:040:20:09

-We'd go to golf courses and pretend

-that we were real players.

0:20:090:20:13

-We were bitten by the bug.

0:20:140:20:15

-We thought it was fantastic.

0:20:160:20:18

-People think golf is for snobs.

0:20:180:20:20

-There is an element

-of snobbery there...

0:20:200:20:23

-..but I don't mix with any snobs.

0:20:230:20:26

-I don't play golf with snobs.

0:20:260:20:28

-I play with boys I like around here

-and we joke around a lot...

0:20:280:20:32

-..out on the course.

0:20:330:20:34

-What about etiquette?

0:20:350:20:36

-Aren't you meant to be quiet

-when you're out on the course?

0:20:370:20:41

-I do get the odd shout

-of "Do you mind?"

0:20:410:20:44

-We all shush each other.

0:20:440:20:46

-I talk a lot but I've learned

-to be quiet on the golf course.

0:20:460:20:50

-You love to talk

-and you have lots of energy.

0:20:510:20:54

-Do you find it's a good quiet time

-for you?

0:20:550:20:59

-Is it therapeutic?

0:20:590:21:01

-Yes, but I'm hopeless.

0:21:030:21:04

-I hit it, then I'm ready

-to get going straight away.

0:21:040:21:08

-I'm learning to slow things down

-and enjoy the day.

0:21:080:21:13

-Some American said you should

-learn to smell the roses...

0:21:140:21:18

-..when you play golf.

0:21:190:21:20

-That was nice but it's good

-to be back inside, in the warm.

0:21:310:21:36

-If you had to run out of the house

-really quickly...

0:21:360:21:40

-..and rescue three things

-to take with you...

0:21:400:21:43

-..what would you choose to rescue?

0:21:430:21:46

-I've given this some thought.

0:21:470:21:49

-People are used to seeing me

-wearing caps.

0:21:510:21:54

-You cut the peaks off baseball caps.

0:21:540:21:57

-You cut the peaks off baseball caps.

-

-Yes, I used to do that.

0:21:570:21:59

-Everyone wears baseball caps

-back-to-front.

0:21:590:22:03

-I now buy my caps in Brittany

-when I'm on my way to France.

0:22:050:22:10

-They're called dockers' hats.

0:22:120:22:15

-This is a Merched Y Wawr badge and

-I wear it in memory of my mother.

0:22:160:22:21

-But I have another hat down here.

0:22:220:22:24

-Isn't it lovely?

0:22:270:22:29

-We used to go to Padstow,

-in Cornwall to celebrate May Day.

0:22:300:22:34

-I wanted some sort of

-morris dancing hat.

0:22:370:22:40

-Dewi Morris dancer!

0:22:400:22:42

-Oh, what's her name? She's blonde.

0:22:420:22:45

-Rhiannon - my wife.

0:22:450:22:46

-She was a student at the time,

-or she wasn't working anyway.

0:22:470:22:52

-She's work-shy anyway. Joke!

0:22:540:22:56

-She didn't have much money,

-so she made this hat for me.

0:22:560:23:00

-Ah! As a present?

0:23:010:23:02

-Ah! As a present?

-

-Yes.

0:23:020:23:03

-This hat jingles when you dance.

0:23:060:23:08

-I'd save this. It's totally unique.

0:23:090:23:12

-Yes, and she made it with love.

0:23:130:23:15

-That's my first item.

0:23:160:23:17

-This is the second item.

0:23:200:23:22

-It's a bit odd.

0:23:220:23:23

-There's a cupboard over there

-which has my life in it.

0:23:240:23:27

-There are posters in there.

0:23:280:23:30

-It's a scrapbook of my life.

0:23:300:23:32

-I'm only allowed

-to save three items...

0:23:320:23:35

-..so this comes first.

0:23:350:23:37

-Bills, insurance, dental, medical!

0:23:400:23:42

-No, although

-that's what's written there.

0:23:420:23:46

-It's full of things which

-I've written but haven't finished.

0:23:470:23:52

-Secrets!

0:23:520:23:53

-My life story.

0:23:550:23:57

-I sometimes give talks

-to Merched Y Wawr.

0:23:570:24:00

-There are

-some unfinished songs in here.

0:24:000:24:03

-They're half-written

-and never published.

0:24:040:24:07

-If you have an idea,

-you scribble it on a scrap of paper?

0:24:070:24:11

-Yes, that's right.

0:24:110:24:13

-If I didn't have these,

-I'd have no idea what I'd written.

0:24:130:24:17

-I keep these scraps of paper.

0:24:190:24:21

-This was an idea for a song

-about Tich Gwilym.

0:24:260:24:29

-Tich, the guitarist.

0:24:290:24:31

-I've already written and completed

-one song about Tich...

0:24:310:24:36

-..but this is another song

-about him.

0:24:360:24:39

-You went too early

-Late one morning.

0:24:410:24:43

-Yes, it's a starting point

-for the lyrics and the music.

0:24:430:24:47

-Half-written poems and jokes.

0:24:480:24:51

-The night wraps the village

-In a cosy quilt of slumber.

0:24:540:24:58

-Lots of ideas for poems and music.

0:24:580:25:01

-That's my second item.

0:25:010:25:03

-The third item is up there,

-on the wall.

0:25:040:25:07

-I like many pictures...

0:25:090:25:11

-..but this is my personal favourite.

0:25:110:25:13

-Rhys painted it.

0:25:150:25:17

-It's part of the lyrics of my song,

-Nwy Yn Y Nen.

0:25:180:25:21

-The words are there

-and so is the moon and the town.

0:25:220:25:26

-I'd take that. It's special to me.

0:25:260:25:29

-It's completely personal.

0:25:290:25:31

-Yes, because it's a painting

-of my work.

0:25:310:25:35

-I'd take Rhiannon too.

0:25:350:25:37

-I forgot!

0:25:370:25:39

-Rhiannon!

0:25:390:25:41

-Quick! Fire!

0:25:410:25:42

-Quick! Fire!

-

-The kitchen's on fire!

0:25:420:25:44

-I've laughed a lot today.

0:25:460:25:47

-I've laughed a lot today.

-

-Good.

0:25:470:25:48

-It's been a joy.

-Thank you for the warm welcome.

0:25:490:25:52

-Can I come again, Dewi Pws Morris?

0:25:520:25:54

-Can I come again, Dewi Pws Morris?

-

-Any time.

0:25:540:25:55

-But bring your own biscuits

-next time!

0:25:550:25:58

-Dewi Pws is full of mischief.

0:26:060:26:08

-I had great fun with him today.

0:26:080:26:10

-Join me next week to visit the home

-of another familiar face.

0:26:100:26:15

-Until then, goodbye.

0:26:170:26:19

-Rhiannon, she ate all the biscuits!

-I'm Margaret Ogunbanwo

-and I come from Nigeria.

0:26:510:26:55

-My husband is a vicar.

0:26:580:27:00

-God called us to come to Wales.

0:27:040:27:07

-There was no work and no church.

0:27:090:27:13

-It was just a calling of God.

0:27:140:27:17

-Before we opened the cafe,

-we had no money at all.

0:27:250:27:30

-I must say it's a tiny miracle

-that we have this cafe in Penygroes.

0:27:300:27:36

-I work in the cafe with Elvis...

0:27:460:27:48

-..and part-time

-with Sue, Dylan and Christine.

0:27:490:27:53

-Elvis runs the front of house,

-with help from Sue and Dylan.

0:27:550:28:01

-We make a great team.

0:28:010:28:02

-I heard that people

-call this cafe Cafrica...

0:28:060:28:09

-..because we cook African food.

0:28:090:28:13

-My speciality is jerk chicken.

0:28:170:28:20

-It's very popular.

0:28:220:28:23

-I came up with a plan

-to learn Welsh...

0:28:310:28:34

-..because if you want to

-get to know the people...

0:28:340:28:37

-..it's important

-to speak their language.

0:28:370:28:41

-We moved to Penygroes

-on the first of September...

0:28:410:28:46

-..and I'd started to learn Welsh

-by the end of September.

0:28:470:28:53

-My favourite words

-are canolbwyntio...

0:28:590:29:01

-..and bendigedig.

0:29:020:29:04

-People speak Welsh

-all day, every day in Penygroes...

0:29:090:29:13

-..but sometimes,

-they speak English to me.

0:29:130:29:16

-Sometimes, I have to tell them

-I want to speak Welsh.

0:29:160:29:20

-I need to practise my Welsh.

0:29:200:29:22

-It's a little bit uncomfortable

-for them...

0:29:220:29:26

-..so English

-is the default language.

0:29:270:29:30

-When I'm on form, I carry on

-and I speak Welsh to people...

0:29:310:29:36

-..but it doesn't happen

-every time.

0:29:380:29:41

-I went to a friend's barbecue...

0:29:460:29:49

-..and everyone said,

-"Oh! Margaret speaks Welsh!"

0:29:490:29:53

-The guy said, "How are you?"

0:29:540:29:57

-I said, "I can say more than

-how are you!"

0:29:580:30:01

-People are surprised

-that I do speak Welsh.

0:30:030:30:06

-Once they realize I do speak Welsh,

-they speak really quickly...

0:30:060:30:12

-..and I get lost!

0:30:130:30:15

-I'm not that great! I'm not fluent!

0:30:160:30:20

-I like to talk a lot!

0:30:210:30:22

-I'm Les Taylor and I come from

-the north of England originally.

0:30:480:30:53

-I've lived in Wales for 20 years.

0:30:540:30:57

-I live in a quiet little village

-called Llanfable...

0:30:590:31:03

-..which is near Abergavenny,

-Monmouthshire.

0:31:040:31:07

-I retired a year ago.

0:31:160:31:18

-I'm still very busy.

0:31:210:31:23

-I have a lot of hobbies.

0:31:240:31:26

-I like music, I enjoy walking

-and I love to go running.

0:31:280:31:33

-I also enjoy playing with my cat.

0:31:360:31:38

-I'm keen on horse racing too.

0:31:400:31:42

-One of my main hobbies

-is brewing beer.

0:31:430:31:48

-The village

-is quiet at the moment...

0:31:560:31:59

-..because the local pub

-has been closed for ten years.

0:31:590:32:03

-Everyone in the village

-hopes the pub will reopen.

0:32:040:32:09

-I really hope

-there will come a day...

0:32:110:32:14

-..when I can have a pint

-in the village pub.

0:32:150:32:19

-Until then,

-I have to brew my own beer!

0:32:190:32:22

-Sometimes,

-when people sample my beer...

0:32:330:32:38

-..they say good things about it.

0:32:380:32:43

-I started to learn Welsh

-to support my children.

0:32:470:32:51

-I have four children.

0:32:510:32:53

-I like to support my children.

0:32:540:32:57

-I want them to do well

-with their Welsh.

0:32:580:33:02

-Unfortunately, many of

-their fellow pupils at school...

0:33:020:33:07

-..come from

-non-Welsh-speaking families.

0:33:070:33:12

-That makes it very difficult

-to promote the language at school.

0:33:120:33:17

-I thought I should support...

0:33:170:33:20

-..my children's efforts

-to learn Welsh.

0:33:200:33:24

-The best way to support them

-was to learn the language myself.

0:33:240:33:29

-If you want to learn Welsh,

-you can sign up for night classes.

0:33:390:33:44

-Classes are important.

0:33:450:33:46

-The most important thing of all

-is to listen to Welsh words.

0:33:480:33:53

-Use Welsh words

-and repeat the words you hear.

0:33:540:33:57

-I've brewed a very special beer

-and I've named it Hwb.

0:34:040:34:09

-It's very tasty.

0:34:100:34:12

-Every Welsh learner loves Hwb!

0:34:140:34:17

-I think that's true.

0:34:170:34:19

-Cheers!

0:34:200:34:21

-Tasty!

0:34:240:34:25

-Very tasty.

0:34:270:34:28

-My name is Bill Wheeler.

0:34:420:34:44

-I'm a professional artist.

0:34:450:34:47

-I live in Pontypridd.

0:34:490:34:50

-I really do adore watercolour art.

0:34:590:35:04

-This is how I paint.

0:35:070:35:09

-I enjoy painting seascapes

-and snowscapes.

0:35:120:35:17

-I enjoy painting outdoors.

0:35:180:35:20

-I travel around Wales...

0:35:300:35:32

-..in search

-of beautiful places to paint.

0:35:330:35:36

-I think I'm really lucky.

0:35:410:35:42

-There are lots of things

-for me to paint in Wales.

0:35:440:35:47

-Learning Welsh is really difficult

-but it's also really interesting.

0:35:560:36:01

-I want to be a fluent speaker.

0:36:050:36:07

-I go online and I follow

-the Something In Welsh course.

0:36:100:36:15

-It's a really special course.

0:36:170:36:19

-When I become

-a fluent Welsh speaker...

0:36:220:36:25

-..I'll run my art course

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:36:250:36:30

-I first started

-going to Clwb Y Bont a year ago.

0:36:340:36:37

-There were one or two people there

-to speak Welsh with each other.

0:36:380:36:43

-I hope a lot more people

-start to come to the club...

0:36:490:36:52

-..to speak Welsh

-and to use the language.

0:36:530:36:56

-There is no lesson structure.

0:36:590:37:02

-We just speak Welsh.

0:37:020:37:04

-I think learning Welsh

-is like climbing a mountain.

0:37:090:37:13

-Climb, climb, climb

-until you reach the top.

0:37:140:37:19

-When you get there, you look up

-and you see another mountain!

0:37:210:37:25

-I want to teach through the medium

-of Welsh and to write in Welsh.

0:37:320:37:37

-That would make me happy.

0:37:370:37:39

0:37:530:37:55

-In this series,

-I look at people and places...

0:37:550:37:58

-..which are part

-of the story of Wales.

-This is the Senedd building

-in Cardiff Bay.

0:38:150:38:18

-It was opened in 2006.

0:38:180:38:20

-The Senedd is the main

-National Assembly building.

0:38:210:38:26

-The National Assembly is the body

-which represents Wales...

0:38:260:38:30

-..and its people.

0:38:310:38:32

-There are 60 Assembly Members.

0:38:370:38:39

-There's an election

-every four years.

0:38:400:38:43

-The current AMs

-come from four political parties.

0:38:450:38:49

-The party with the greatest number

-of AMs forms the Welsh government.

0:38:560:39:01

-Carwyn Jones is the First Minister.

0:39:020:39:05

-What's the Assembly's role?

0:39:090:39:11

-What's the Assembly's role?

-

-To represent the people of Wales.

0:39:110:39:14

-It's the Assembly's

-responsibility...

0:39:150:39:18

-..to create legislation and policies

-for the devolved areas.

0:39:180:39:23

-What powers does the Assembly have?

0:39:230:39:25

-Following the 2011 referendum...

0:39:260:39:29

-..the National Assembly has

-full power in the devolved areas.

0:39:290:39:34

-How does the voting system work?

0:39:360:39:38

-How does the voting system work?

-

-It's an electronic system.

0:39:380:39:40

-There are three buttons

-in front of us.

0:39:410:39:44

-For, Against and Abstain.

0:39:460:39:47

-The AM can see the way they've voted

-on the screen in front of them.

0:39:480:39:54

-Should the AM make a mistake...

0:39:560:39:58

-..he or she has a few seconds

-in which to correct any errors.

0:39:580:40:02

-Tell me about the use

-of the Welsh language here.

0:40:030:40:07

-AMs are free to use their language

-of choice - Welsh or English...

0:40:070:40:13

-..in every aspect of their work.

0:40:130:40:16

-The staff

-are also free to do that...

0:40:160:40:19

-..as is anyone

-who contacts the Assembly.

0:40:200:40:23

-What is electronic translation?

0:40:240:40:27

-We've formed a partnership

-with Microsoft.

0:40:280:40:31

-This ensures that Welsh

-is one of the official languages...

0:40:310:40:35

-..on the Microsoft platform.

0:40:360:40:38

-This translates messages

-and documents electronically.

0:40:390:40:43

-When you add a document to the

-system, it's translated instantly.

0:40:440:40:50

-The hope is that this will make

-people more willing to use Welsh...

0:40:520:40:57

-..formally and informally.

0:40:570:40:59

-This can only help Assembly Members

-to use the language of their choice.

0:41:000:41:05

-Not every Assembly Member

-can speak Welsh...

0:41:150:41:18

-..but it's important

-that they learn the language...

0:41:180:41:22

-..and try to use it.

0:41:220:41:24

-Sian Jones is a language tutor

-in the Assembly.

0:41:240:41:27

-It's her role to help the AMs

-to learn Welsh...

0:41:270:41:31

-..and to use the language

-in their work.

0:41:310:41:34

-We're in the Senedd and I spend

-most of my working week here.

0:41:460:41:51

-I'm here from Monday to Thursday to

-teach Welsh to Assembly Members...

0:41:520:41:57

-..and also to teach

-the Assembly Members' support staff.

0:41:580:42:02

-I give one-to-one lessons

-to Assembly Members...

0:42:050:42:09

-..and I teach their support staff

-in small groups.

0:42:090:42:13

-The Assembly Members may need to

-speak at an occasion or an event...

0:42:130:42:18

-..so we work on small phrases

-every now and then.

0:42:180:42:21

-Raising awareness of the use of

-Welsh by learners at the Assembly.

0:42:220:42:26

-It's vital that Welsh learners

-aren't scared of making mistakes.

0:42:290:42:34

-Everyone makes grammatical errors,

-including myself.

0:42:340:42:38

-It's a difficult journey but

-it's one which we'll take together.

0:42:380:42:43

-Never be afraid to make a mistake.

0:42:430:42:46

-The important thing is

-they use their Welsh and they try.

0:42:470:42:51

-The future of the language

-is in their hands.

0:42:510:42:55

-I wish

-first language Welsh speakers...

0:42:550:42:58

-..could be more patient...

0:42:580:43:00

-..with Welsh learners.

0:43:020:43:04

-She encourages us and she tells us

-not to be afraid to make mistakes.

0:43:040:43:09

-When you're learning something new,

-don't be frightened of mistakes.

0:43:100:43:15

-They're working hard

-to learn Welsh.

0:43:190:43:22

-It's not easy for anyone

-to learn Welsh.

0:43:220:43:24

-It's a difficult process

-but it's an exciting journey.

0:43:250:43:29

-I love to see them do well

-and succeed.

0:43:310:43:34

-We now have a designated room

-for the Welsh lessons.

0:43:370:43:41

-The AMs and their staff can meet

-there and chat over a cup of tea.

0:43:410:43:45

-It's called Cornel Cymraeg.

0:43:460:43:48

-Thank you for attending the opening

-of Cornel Cymraeg at the Senedd.

0:43:510:43:56

-I'm pleased we can now offer

-a better learning environment...

0:43:560:44:00

-..to those who wish to improve

-their Welsh language skills.

0:44:000:44:04

-This new classroom resource

-will help us realize our ambition...

0:44:040:44:08

-..of becoming

-a truly bilingual institution.

0:44:080:44:11

-I thank Sian

-and the Assembly officials...

0:44:110:44:14

-..who've worked hard

-to make this resource available.

0:44:140:44:17

-Cornel Cymraeg is now open.

-Thank you very much.

0:44:180:44:21

-It's brilliant to have a room,

-a centre, a space...

0:44:290:44:33

-..where people can come together

-to learn...

0:44:330:44:36

-..and to socialize

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:44:370:44:40

-Sometimes, I'm popular when I help

-but I'm unpopular at times too!

0:44:430:44:47

-They sometimes avoid me

-when they see me on the corridor!

0:44:480:44:52

-They think, "Oh, no! Sian will

-make us practise our Welsh!"

0:44:520:44:56

-She'll be at the door...

0:44:580:45:00

-..coaxing us in for extra hours!

0:45:000:45:02

-She's a fantastic teacher.

-We're lucky to have her.

0:45:030:45:07

-She's fantastic.

-Enthusiasm encapsulated.

0:45:070:45:11

-What she's done for Assembly Members

-is amazing.

0:45:110:45:14

-There are so many members

-learning Welsh...

0:45:150:45:17

-..and not afraid to use it.

0:45:180:45:19

-When you're learning, you're

-vulnerable to making mistakes.

0:45:200:45:24

-Sian's enthusiastic.

0:45:240:45:25

-She comes to me every day and says,

-"What will you say in Welsh today?"

0:45:260:45:30

-If I don't say it in Welsh...

0:45:300:45:32

-..I get

-smacked on the wrist sometimes!

0:45:320:45:35

-When people think

-of the Welsh Assembly...

0:45:440:45:48

-..they think of the Senedd building

-in Cardiff Bay.

0:45:480:45:51

-The building rises from the Bay

-and it looks outwards.

0:45:520:45:55

-Richard Rogers was the architect

-who designed this building.

0:45:580:46:03

-Much of the building material used

-came from Wales.

0:46:030:46:07

-This is North Wales slate.

0:46:080:46:11

-A lot of Welsh oak

-was used within the building.

0:46:120:46:15

-The Senedd's roof

-is made of steel...

0:46:180:46:20

-..and there's a lot of glass

-throughout the building.

0:46:220:46:26

-The building also had to be

-environmentally friendly...

0:46:270:46:31

-..and have a lifespan of 100 years.

0:46:320:46:34

-This is the debating chamber.

0:46:350:46:37

-The Assembly Members

-sit around curved desks.

0:46:370:46:40

-In the gallery,

-overlooking the chamber...

0:46:420:46:46

-..the public can come

-to see and hear what happens here.

0:46:460:46:50

-Everyone is welcome to visit the

-Senedd, as this family discovered.

0:46:520:46:57

-Guided tours are available

-free of charge every weekday...

0:47:020:47:06

-..but it's a good idea

-to book tickets beforehand.

0:47:070:47:11

-I think the Senedd

-is an interesting place.

0:47:110:47:14

-I like the way the Senedd is built,

-using Welsh wood and slate.

0:47:150:47:21

-It's beautiful.

0:47:210:47:22

-I enjoyed learning about

-the green energy used here.

0:47:230:47:27

-They use 40% less electricity

-than other similar sized buildings.

0:47:270:47:32

-It's an important building

-to Welsh people.

0:47:320:47:35

-It's a good experience for children

-to see where our politicians sit.

0:47:360:47:41

-It's like London and Big Ben.

0:47:430:47:45

-You can't go to London

-without seeing Big Ben.

0:47:450:47:48

-It's the same thing in Cardiff.

0:47:490:47:52

-You can't come to Cardiff

-without visiting the Senedd.
