-shortly from Gerallt.

-We start by welcoming our guests,

-Tecwyn Ifan and Sulwyn Thomas.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Swyn Llyr and Eban Miws have been

-representing Wales in Slovenia...

-..and they'll be telling

-us more about it later.

-Our cameras have been busy

-over the weekend.

-We've been at a special exhibition

-in Llanbedrog...

-..to wish a happy 90th birthday

-to the author, Jan Morris.

-Our cameras were also at a special

-and emotional service in Cardiff...

-..to give thanks for the life and

-work of the late, Sioned James.

-We also travel to Mold to find out

-about the Daniel Owen Festival.

-Daf takes us to look at a museum

-..and its one of the favourite

-seasons of naturalists.

-Gerallt is in Penrhyndeudraeth

-this evening.

-Good evening, Gerallt.

-Good evening, Rhodri.

-It isn't raining here.

-This building is quite new.

-Plas Tan y Bwlch is just down the

-road from here.

-A dazzling autumnal display

-has reached the Tan-y-Bwlch gardens.

-Among the trees are evergreens

-from the other side of the world.

-And it's these trees that

-share the history of the garden.

-Plas Tan-y-Bwlch boasts

-a remarkable collection of trees.

-In Victorian Times, it was popular

-to grow trees from around the world.

-The empire was at its height.

-There was a competition between the

-gardens as to which was the best.

-Some of the trees are champions.

-According to the tree world,

-you can't win this status overnight.

-What makes a trees a champion

-is the height of the specimen.

-Plas Tan-y-Bwlch

-is home to four British champions.

-There are nine Welsh champions

-and 36 throughout Gwynedd.

-Chris, we're standing at

-the foot of a real champion.

-You feel quite small

-and insignificant next to it.

-This is a Cryptomeria Japonica.

-It's originally from China

-and thrives in this climate.

-You're very proud of this champion.

-Yes, it's fantastic and displays

-a perfect shape all year round.

-Today, we get to witness the fruits

-of the Victorian gardeners' vision.

-They never had to chance

-to see these trees.

-There were plans

-for the landscapes.

-They didn't realize these trees

-were rare like the one behind us.

-It was planted around the 1840s.

-There were forests of them

-in the Western Himalayas.

-Today, they're incredible rare and

-it's important that we protect them.

-This garden and similar gardens

-play an integral role...

-..in the protection

-of endangered trees.

-It's wonderful to see the trees

-growing in the gardens...

-..and visitors

-coming to admire them.

-I know that Rory Francis will want

-everyone to visit.

-I'm joined by Rory Francis.

-There's no shortage of choice here.

-We are very lucky here in Wales.

-People love trees and

-the stories behind them.

-We'll be launching a competition

-for the tree of the year.

-The trees here at Plan Tan y Bwlch

-are a great way to celebrate that.

-Naomi Jones, tomorrow is an

-important day.

-Yes, we'll be 65 years old tomorrow.

-We are so well known

-for the mountains...

-..but we have miles of coast and

-woodland here.

-There is so much to explore and

-discover here.

-Back to you in the studio.

-Thank you, Gerallt.

-As we mentioned earlier, Tecwyn Ifan

-and Sulwyn Thomas are our guests.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You've come to tell us more

-about the Light a Candle Weekend.

-What is it?

-Light a Candle Weekend

-is actually three days.

-It's a long weekend at the end of

-this week.

-We relaunched it a few weeks ago.

-We ran out of funding

-and needed support...

-We want to celebrate the fact that

-we produce and distribute...

-..talking books and newspapers

-in Welsh.

-We needed to give it a focus

-of three days.

-We had to think

-about how to sell it.

-People have arranged coffee

-mornings.

-I attended one yesterday.

-They raised over 400.

-This is a picture of me

-with the children.

-On the Sunday, Beti Wyn is running

-a special service.

-It will all be available

-as a power point and hard copy.

-We knew that was one man who could

-tie it all together.

-We went to Tecwyn to ask him

-to pen a song for us.

-You must be delighted

-to be involved.

-I was delighted to be approached

-by Sulwyn.

-Friends have contributed

-to the talking books.

-My mother used them

-when she lost her sight.

-I was thrilled to be involved.

-I am delighted that thigs have

-worked out.

-We are delighted with the song.

-The idea is that in the three days,

-the candle is lit.

-It's symbolic

-as we bring a little light...

-..into the lives of people

-with sight loss.

-The CDs are available to buy.

-The books are available

-from the website.

-They cost 2.50.

-You can buy them for 2

-in Carmarthen.

-They'll be worth a fortune!

-The Light a Candle Weekend takes

-place the end of this week...

-..but before that Gwyl Daniel Owen

-Festival will be held in Mold.

-The festival celebrates the life

-and work of a famous Welsh author.

-All of those living in his hometown

-are pleased with the connection...

-..and a variety of events will be

-held throughout the week.

-We're in the middle of the festival

-now and had events over the weekend.

-We had a concert for the SHARE

-charity.

-Daniel Owen was known for his

-charitable nature.

-We have an awards ceremony tomorrow

-night for young writers.

-The theme is a 'Twist in the Tale'.

-Daniel Owen was famous for his

-short stories.

-The theme also ties in with Roald

-Dahl's 100th anniversary.

-We have an open mic night in the

-Drovers Arms on Wednesday...

-..giving people a chance to share

-their creative talents.

-We usually announce an English book

-of Daniel Owen's stories.

-This is the one that was published

-recently.

-This year is different as we've

-launched a Daniel Owen beer.

-Come and enjoy the events and a good

-beer in Daniel Owen's name.

-After the break, Owain looks at the

-developments of Caernarfon airport.

-We visit a special exhibition

-in Llanbedrog...

-..to wish happy birthday to

-the author, Jan Morris who is 90.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-There's been a lot in the media

-about airports recently...

-..especially with the development

-of the new runway at Heathrow...

-..and more flights between

-Cardiff to London.

-But what about the smaller Welsh

-airports?

-A place which is very close

-to his heart.

-Most of you know that I love sports

-and rugby more than anything.

-Few of you might know that I have a

-rather different hobby.

-Have you guessed yet?

-I love flying planes.

-I've come back to Caernarfon airport

-where I first learnt to fly.

-It's been eight years since my first

-lesson...

-..and six years since earning my

-licence, which I'm renewing now.

-The airport has a very interesting

-history.

-The airport was established in 1941

-during the war...

-..to help train the navigators for

-Avro Ansons.

-As time went on, they trained the

-gunners here.

-When the war ended, they brought all

-the surplus ammunition here...

-..put it all on ships and sent them

-out to sea.

-The Mountain Rescue team was also

-established during World War II.

-The base is still here but it's

-changed completely...

-..thanks to Ray McKenzie-Blythe and

-his trips around Snowdonia.

-The changes have become evident to

-all in the last six years.

-The original main building and

-tower stood on this very spot...

-..but there is now a new

-building and tower over there.

-There's a shed for the microlights

-kept here and two windmills...

-..which power the complex and a very

-grand main building.

-There's been a lot of investment in

-recent years.

-The Air Ambulance and Mountain

-Rescue teams land here.

-They've modernised the control tower

-and the other buildings.

-We have three schools here - one for

-planes, one for helicopters...

-..and one for microlights.

-What do you enjoy about flying?

-The freedom to fly anytime I want,

-head out over the river or to sea...

-..and fly over my home area is

-something I'll never tire of.

-If you've time to spare, you can

-enjoy a cuppa and the museum.

-Eight years after coming here I've

-just discovered this simulator.

-It looks fantastic so I have to

-have a go!

-If flying helicopters isn't your

-thing, there's another simulator...

-..for jets and formula 1 cars.

-It's such a nice day that we have to

-get up in the air.

-It's always exciting to be

-travelling down the runway...

-..before lifting off.

-Seeing your home from an unique

-perspective is incredible.

-Everything is a stone's throw away.

-And there we go, back down safely.

-I'd recommend this to anyone - take

-a flight over your local area.

-I love it.

-From Owain's plane, to one which is

-slightly smaller.

-Our next guests, Eban Muse of Carmel

-and Swyn Llyr of Bontnewydd...

-..have recently returned

-from Slovenia.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You were chosen by the Urdd to be

-Welsh ambassadors...

-..in a special event in Slovenia.

-Tell us more about the event.

-We were representing the Urdd

-out there.

-There were several of us from

-countries all over the world.

-There were a series of workshops

-for young people...

-..looking at issues such as violence

-and terror.

-It was arranged by an organisation

-called ERICA.

-How were you chosen?

-Countries across the EU were invited

-to take part.

-We had links already to the Urdd and

-had to submit and application.

-We were chosen from the applicants.

-The other 20 young people were from

-a variety of organisations.

-Some run magazines for young people

-in different countries.

-It was incredible to have the

-perspective...

-..of people from different religions

-and backgrounds.

-We talked about how we engage with

-young people.

-We all got on very well.

-They put us all in a room and were

-astonished...

-..at how well we bonded as a group.

-We socialised together in the

-evenings.

-It was a fantastic experience.

-There were workshops on a variety

-of subjects.

-We had one about the burkini ban.

-There were workshops on a variety

-of subjects.

-We had one about the burkini ban.

-We had Muslim participants so that

-We all had varying degrees of

-freedom in our own countries.

-We have to report back

-We're both back at university

-so haven't had much chance...

-..to talk to each other since.

-We hope to be able to feedback

-in the future.

-It was a wonderful experience.

-We were very lucky to go.

-Thank you.

-We stay in the travel world

-for our next item.

-If you enjoy travelling and

-enjoy reading about it...

-...you'll love the books

-of Jan Morris.

-Venice, Hong Kong, Canada, Wales

-- she's written about them all.

-This year, Jan celebrates

-her 90th birthday.

-Last weekend, a special dinner and

-exhibition was held in Llanbedrog...

-..to celebrate this

-special birthday.

-The aim of this celebration

-at Glyn Y Weddw...

-..is to mark

-Jan Morris' 90th birthday...

-..and contribution to literature

-and place Wales on the world map.

-Jan enjoys travelling, but always

-returns to home in Llanymstumdwy.

-Her books spread a clear message

-to the world about our rich culture.

-I'm the curator of this exhibition

-on the life and work of Jan Morris.

-It's been a fruitful life.

-We had to find artists who responded

-in an unique and varied format.

-I've responded to Jan's life

-with the landscape of Nepal.

-I combined this landscape

-with Pen-y-Gwhyd...

-..where a crew trained

-and prepared to climb Everest.

-Jan scaled a section

-of the mountain...

-..and was the first to report

-that Everest had been conquered.

-Jan isn't one for a lot of attention

-but yet again she is.

-She's very grateful to Wales

-for giving her such attention.

-Sum up the weekend and reaction

-to the welcome at Glyn Y Weddw.

-It's aged me more in 30 minutes than

-the previous 90 years altogether!

-Of course it's been marvellous

-and I'm enjoying it.

-It made me very conceited.

-I was conceited enough before

-and now my head is swollen.

-You said you're not a traveller

-writer, but a writer of places.

-Glyn Y Weddw in Llanbedrog

-is a very special place.

-It's a very good choice.

-I don't write going to places,

-I write about going inside places.

-I think about it and what it's done.

-Glyn Y Weddw is fascination

-with a long and curious history.

-It's a lively and marvellous art

-gallery with wonderful exhibitions.

-It's a pleasure to stage this

-exhibition at Plas Glyn Y Weddw.

-It's an honour to know Jan

-since planning this exhibition.

-It runs between now and Christmas.

-It's a chance to get to know Jan

-and celebrate her work.

-After the break,

-Daf ventures to the Cynon Valley...

-..to hear more about the battle

-to save the museum.

-Our cameras were present at a

-special service on Saturday...

-..to show thanks for the life

-and work of the late Sioned James.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-When you speak of the development

-of choral singing in Wales...

-..Sioned James is a name which comes

-straight to the mind.

-She was an incredibly talented

-musician, who established Cordydd...

-..one of Wales' most successful

-mixed choirs.

-Sioned was constantly in search

-of ways to push the boundaries.

-In July, Sioned passed away.

-Over the weekend, a special service

-was held at Tabernacle, Cardiff...

-..where family, friends, co-workers

-and members of Cordydd...

-..all came together to

-give thanks for Sioned.

-# It dawns one morning

-# And I had to talk about Jesus #

-I taught Sioned for many years

-and she was incredibly talented.

-Her talent was obvious even then.

-She loved music, singing and

-especially choral singing.

-Over the year, the student-teacher

-relationship developed to friends.

-I have many fond memories of Sioned.

-Sioned was 16, when we met at the

-National Youth Choir of Wales.

-I recall her at the choir

-as she learnt all of the music.

-She had a fantastic memory.

-I would look around the choir

-and Sioned would be looking back.

-It hit me as she was

-very thorough with her work.

-I always admired Sioned's work

-from afar when I moved to Cardiff.

-I established Cor Aelwyd y Waun

-Ddyfal with a group of students...

-..and I always looked at Cordydd as

-a choir that I wanted to sing with.

-I was very nervous when I went

-to the first Cordydd rehearsal...

-..and called Sioned miss, which

-was the worst thing I ever did...

-..as our relationship developed

-to be one full of fun.

-We had a fantastic friendship

-and we became very close.

-# Ave Maria

-Ave Maria #

-We travelled together many times

-both professionally and personally.

-She was a big part of my life and

-was one of my best friends.

-She was always ready to listen

-to any problem or situation...

-..and would give her opinion.

-Sioned was unique.

-I got to know Sioned when we

-did the Llais i Gymru competition.

-I was working from home and

-the opportunity came up.

-Without Sioned's belief

-and encouragement...

-..I wouldn't be singing today.

-Many singers go through a period

-of uncertainty...

-..but Sioned believed in me from the

-very beginning.

-I'm indebted to her.

-I believe that we will remember

-Sioned's colourful personality.

-She didn't realize how

-talented she was...

-..and Wales has certainly lost

-a choral star.

-It was an emotional and powerful

-concert.

-The choir gave a fantastic tribute

-to an incredible woman.

-We're not only proud of the choir,

-but we're also proud of Sioned.

-Tonight has proved how much Sioned

-meant to so many people.

-It is an incredible loss

-for the choir.

-She was founder of Cordydd and is

-responsible for the accomplishments.

-The best tribute we could give to

-Sioned is to continue...

-..with the solid foundations

-that she set.

-# Jerusalem! #

-We've lost a musical star.

-Alwyn said that we'd lost a star.

-She was an incredible talent.

-And so much fun.

-She was wonderful to work with.

-It's a great loss for the

-entertainment industry.

-She was a wonderful agent.

-Next, we head to the Cynon Valley,

-an area steeped in history...

-..and the locals have started

-a campaign to protect the museum.

-Daf ventured to Aberdare

-to find out more.

-The Cynon Valley lies between the

-Rhondda Valley and Merthyr Vale.

-For the last two centuries, it was

-the world's biggest coal-mining area

-Artefacts and tools from the era are

-on display here at the museum.

-Just a few years ago it was feared

-the collection would be forgotten.

-The museum collates and displays the

-area's history.

-It's a rich story stretching from

-the Iron Age, through Roman days...

-..through the industrial era to the

-coal-mining days and beyond.

-It's the Cynon Valley's history and

-we're very proud of it.

-The museum keep the story going.

-The museum was officially opened

-in 2001...

-..but the local council had to close

-it in 2014 due to funding cuts.

-That was a very unpopular decision

-so they started a campaign...

-..to try and save the museum.

-There were hundreds here

-at one point.

-We marched to Aberdare from the

-museum as people were so passionate.

-People felt very strongly that their

-story should be heard and preserved.

-After two years of discussion,

-the trust reopened the museum.

-As it's part of the area's recent

-history, there's a new gallery.

-This is a new gallery at the heart

-of the museum.

-There are pictures of the protests

-and the public meetings.

-The council were not expecting such

-a strong reaction but they got it.

-The result was the energy and

-support which led to the reopening.

-The council are the landlords of the

-building which itself is a relic.

-It was once part of the old works at

-Aberdare, established in 1837.

-The furnaces behind the museum

-extend in cathedral-like fashion.

-There are over 4,000 years' worth of

-artefacts in this museum...

-..but this is the one that caught my

-attention.

-It's an old shop from Aberdare

-and if you come in...

-..the hope is that you'll be

-able to buy and sell goods here.

-Everyone has their favourite item,

-be it is domestic or industrial.

-I love these old banners from the

-days of coal-mining.

-The messages are of their time but I

-love the pride and love...

-..that is evidenced in the work of

-people who made the banners.

-There are plans to start using the

-museum as a community centre...

-..and people are already using it to

-trace their ancestry.

-I've come to Aberdare to find out

-about my grandfather's history.

-What do you think of the place?

-The museum? It's first class!

-It won't fail for lack of enthusiasm

-or effort.

-We are motivated by the importance

-of knowing our past...

-..so that we can see where we are

-going.

-After the break, we hear the details

-of our photography competition.

-We'll have an exclusive performance

-from Tecwyn Ifan...

-..of his song for the Light

-a Candle Weekend.

-But before we head to the break,
