-"What a silly creature | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
-"With two long elastic legs | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
-"Large shiny eyes | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
-"Full of surprise | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
-"With its useless wings!" | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-"With its useless wings!" - -APPLAUSE | 0:19:43 | 0:19:44 | |
-Well done to you! | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
-I have been to Wales. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-Where did you visit? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-I've been to Cardiff... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-..Llangrannog... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-..and Aberystwyth. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
-What was so different about Wales? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
-It's very green there. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
-# I sing rock and roll -in the morning # | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-After spending time -at these welcoming schools... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
-..I felt the enthusiasm of the -parents, teachers and children... | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
-..and their eagerness to keep -the Welsh language alive. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
-Agricultural land -lies a few miles outside Gaiman... | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
-..and the Coetmor Farm, -run by Aidel Griffiths's family. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:51 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-Hello, how are you? - -I'm very well. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
-It's great to be here. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-How are you? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
-Let's go and sit by the fire. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-It's wonderful to be on your farm, -Aidel. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
-How long have you been farming here? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-We've farmed here... | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
-..since my father bought -this piece of Coetmor Farm. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-The land was dry and hard to manage -when the Welsh first arrived here. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
-Yes, it was very tough. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
-They didn't have any trenches -so they had to do it all. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
-The brambles had to be removed -and burnt so they could build farms. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
-I suspect it was -a very difficult time. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
-We have to do a lot of watering -or we won't get any produce. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
-I'm very thankful for the water. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
-The Chubut River has always been -important to the Welsh... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
-..especially in building trenches -to water the land. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
-These helped the Welsh -to grow their crops and survive. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
-What do you farm? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
-We're currently growing hay... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-..but we have kept animals -and grown potatoes in the past. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
-You don't work on the farm any more -but come back every day. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
-Yes, because I love this place. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
-There's always a neighbour -who calls in wanting a tot of mate! | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
-Which part of Wales -is your family from? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-Nain came from Llanuwchllyn where -the family farmed at Ddol Fawr. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
-Taid owned Llain Las farm. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
-He purchased his farm in 1902. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
-Do you socialize -using the Welsh language? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-No, not really. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-I did attend the Sunday School -and various church services. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
-The people outside the chapel -are just as good as those inside it! | 0:23:09 | 0:23:15 | |
-There's an element of hypocrisy -in everything. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
-I think you understand what I mean. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
-What's your opinion about the Welsh -language in this part of Patagonia? | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
-I'm amazed that it has survived. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
-My daughter understands the language -but doesn't speak it. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
-It will survive -the next generation... | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
-..but not for another 50 years. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
-Have you been to Wales? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
-No, but I'd like to go for a week -or a fortnight but no more. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
-I don't like being in the same place -for two months. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
-You'd be feeling homesick -for the farm. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
-Yes, because -there's no place like home! | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-That's very true. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
-Aidel enjoys coming to the farm -for some mate... | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
-..and to play -a popular Argentinean game. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
-We play with horseshoes. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
-Would you like a game? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
-You can show me how to play -while I take a sip of the mate. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
-You like that! | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
-You need to get as close as possible -to the iron steak. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:47 | |
-Is this a popular game? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:49 | |
-Is this a popular game? - -Yes, it is. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
-When do you usually play? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
-I often play here but it's played -at the Mimosa Landing Celebrations. | 0:24:54 | 0:25:00 | |
-They play it to pass the time -in the afternoon. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
-It's bitter. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:12 | |
-It's bitter. - -Yes, it's very bitter. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
-Off you go. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
-Was that any good? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:21 | |
-Was that any good? - -Not bad. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
-It was hopeless. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:24 | |
-It was hopeless. - -You'll learn. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
-You need more practice. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
-Stick to the singing! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |

-It's early morning in Gaiman -and I'm about to start a journey... | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
-..along the plains to Cwm Hyfryd and -Esquel and Trevelin near the Andes. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:01 | |
-I'm excited but I'm told it's going -to be a six-hour journey! | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
-I've been driving -for over two hours. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
-It's about 375 miles from -the Chubut Valley to Cwm Hyfryd. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:31 | |
-It's long but one of the -most beautiful places... | 0:26:31 | 0:26:37 | |
-..I've ever seen. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
-Many years ago, the Welsh crossed -these plains to find new land. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:46 | |
-I can't take it all in -because this is a real adventure! | 0:26:46 | 0:26:53 | |
-A dream came true... | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
-..when I saw a gaucho -on horseback on the plains. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-When the Welsh -arrived in Patagonia... | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
-..their relationship with -the natives was very important. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:14 | |
-The Indians taught the Welsh -to ride and hunt. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
-The natives benefitted... | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
-..and exchanged meat -and animal skin for bread. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
-For six loaves, -the Welsh could buy a horse. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
-If it wasn't -for this relationship... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
-..the fate of the early colonists -would have been very different. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
-After the Welsh -settled in the Chubut Valley... | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
-..it took some of them 20 years -to move to more fertile lands. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:51 | |
-In 1885, some of them crossed -the plains and reached the Andes. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:57 | |
-By 1888... | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
-..some families arrived -and founded Esquel and Trevelin. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
-As I look around, -I'm reminded a little of Wales. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
-After a long and tiring journey, -I reach Esquel... | 0:28:18 | 0:28:24 | |
-..and the home of Rini Griffiths -where I get a very warm welcome. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
-It's lovely to meet you. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
-Yes, and I can't wait -to stay with you for a night or two. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
-After a journey across the plains, -I'm delighted to see some hot tea! | 0:28:46 | 0:28:52 | |
-How was the journey? | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
-How was the journey? - -It was a real experience. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
-You're lucky -because it's been a glorious day. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
-Do you say "llaeth" -or "llefrith" for milk? | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
-Llefrith. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:05 | |
-Llefrith. - -And I say "llaeth!". | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
-The Welsh language -is very complicated! | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
-People don't understand that there -are two words in Welsh for milk. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:18 | |
-I've reached your hotel in Esquel -but is it a busy place? | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
-This May has been busier than usual -and we've seen a lot of Welsh. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:28 | |
-You can practice speaking Welsh. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
-Yes, I love speaking Welsh all day. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
-Tell us about your family. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
-The Griffiths' were from Caernarfon. -Nain's family was from Llanuwchllyn. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
-Tom Jones, Llanuwchllyn told Mam... | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
-..that her family of Dol Fawr -was near his home... | 0:29:46 | 0:29:50 | |
-..and she couldn't believe it! | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
-He went home and they started -writing to one another. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:59 | |
-Mam learnt all about -the various members of the family. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:04 | |
-It was fun -to discover our relatives. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
-Nain had always told me.... | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
-..that Wales was a miserable, -ugly country... | 0:30:11 | 0:30:16 | |
-..that was covered in coal mines. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:21 | |
-But when I arrived, -I was brought to tears. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:25 | |
-I don't know why Nain wouldn't -go back to such a beautiful country. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:30 | |
-It was the summer when I visited -when the flowers were in bloom. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
-I wished that Nain could see it but -neither she nor Taid ever went back. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:41 | |
-They struggled in Wales which is why -they moved here in the first place. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:47 | |
-Yes, and I'm sure she didn't want -to remember those difficult times... | 0:30:47 | 0:30:52 | |
-..and leaving her home and family. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
-Have you tried mate? | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
-I've tried it everywhere -so I'd like to try your version. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
-I'm not a huge fan of it at the -moment but I'll give this a go. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:08 | |
-I haven't met anyone in Wales -who enjoys it. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
-I want to like it but I can't! | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
-It's odd because Welsh teachers -come here for a year... | 0:31:21 | 0:31:28 | |
-..and go home with their own mate -to drink in Wales. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:34 | |
-There must be something about it. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
-I'll keep persevering to see -if I like it at the end of my visit. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:44 | |
-I've got plenty of tea and coffee -for you to enjoy. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
-Thank you, Rini and I can't wait -to spend more time with you. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:55 | |
-Cheers! | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
-Can we have a toast with tea? | 0:31:59 | 0:32:00 | |
-Can we have a toast with tea? - -I don't see why not! | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
-After a long day on the plains, -I was ready for my bed... | 0:32:04 | 0:32:09 | |
-..because tomorrow is another day -that will be full of adventure. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:14 | |
-I'm on the outskirts of Trevelin... | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
-..and about to visit -the home of Vincent Evans. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:42 | |
-The 86-year-old is a gaucho, -an accordionist... | 0:32:42 | 0:32:47 | |
-..and quite a character! | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
-The view behind us is amazing, -Vincent. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:05 | |
-The Andes are in the distance -and the sun is shining. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
-The farm has always -been in your family. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
-My grandfather owned these lands -when he settled here. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:17 | |
-This is where he raised his family. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
-He brought up -my father and his siblings. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:28 | |
-This is also where he died. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
-What has been farmed here? | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
-What has been farmed here? - -A bit of everything. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
-We've grown some wheat crops -but we mainly farm cattle. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:45 | |
-The towns were open plains -and not fenced off. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:53 | |
-The cattle ran wild... | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
-..and roamed far across the land. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
-Therefore, -the animals were uncontrollable. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
-They were worth some money -and their meat was cheap. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:08 | |
-Everything was cheap -and easy to sell. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
-I'm sure the horses behind you -have assisted you over the years. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:18 | |
-I went to school on horseback. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:23 | |
-I lived five kilometres away -from the school. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:30 | |
-Three of us rode on one horse -and two on another. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
-The horses were called -Sam and Corconcho. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
-It was an hour-long ride to school -and an hour to come home. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:42 | |
-It was a two-hour round journey. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
-You had to drum-up a lot of -enthusiasm to learn after it! | 0:34:45 | 0:34:51 | |
-Tell us about the changes -that have occurred here. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
-The changes are incredible. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
-I often tell my wife -that life is different today. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:04 | |
-We visit the town -two or three times a day. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:11 | |
-In the past, we'd arrange -our visit a week beforehand. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
-Who was going to town to fetch what? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
-What horses would we take... | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
-..and what did we need -to buy and sell? | 0:35:23 | 0:35:27 | |
-We had to stay there overnight. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:34 | |
-We'd stay with a relative -or someone. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
-This was especially during winter -when it was cold and wet. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
-The roads were poor -and the rivers flooded. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
-It was cold. Days were short -and the nights were long. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:53 | |
-It's now a faster pace of life. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
-It's incredible -how much it's changed. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
-Are you concerned about the future -of the Welsh language in The Colony? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:05 | |
-I don't know if I worry too much -or enough about it. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:10 | |
-I don't understand what's happened. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
-I often talk of another revival. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:21 | |
-People have said this -for many years. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:27 | |
-Children will converse, sing -and recite in Welsh... | 0:36:29 | 0:36:33 | |
-..but don't have any Welsh roots. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:37 | |
-I've heard a lot about you... | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
-..and I'd like to hear you play -the accordion. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |

-This area is known as Cwm Hyfryd and -it's like a little piece of heaven. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:59 | |
-Tell me about the history -of Sendero Lodge. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
-Elin, welcome to Sendero Lodge. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
-Sendero Lodge is a hotel -which welcomes fishermen. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:11 | |
-We also welcome those -who just want to relax. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:15 | |
-I was born in the area... | 0:39:15 | 0:39:20 | |
-..so I'm the perfect person to show -the wonders of this place to others. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:26 | |
-Are we going fishing? | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
-Yes, if you would like to. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
-We headed towards the river and -admired the surrounding landscape. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:37 | |
-It's no wonder that fishermen -flock to this area of Argentina... | 0:39:37 | 0:39:41 | |
-..as it's the closest -you'll get to paradise. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:46 | |
-We fish for trout in Patagonia. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
-We have rainbow, -brown and stream trout. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:55 | |
-It's also possible to catch salmon -from the Pacific Ocean. | 0:39:55 | 0:40:00 | |
-Do you eat the fish you catch? | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
-We like to return -what we catch to the river. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
-It maintains a good level of fish -for everyone. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:10 | |
-You prefer to eat meat in Argentina. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
-Yes, we have very good meat -in Argentina. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
-My time came -to attempt to catch a trout. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:23 | |
-I didn't expect to be any good. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
-However, I was willing -to give it a try... | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
-..and to try again and again. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
-There aren't any fish here! | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
-There are plenty of fish -but they're difficult to catch. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
-They're scared of me! | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
-No, you're doing well. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
-Thank you, Richard. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
-No, I didn't catch anything. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
-I doubt Richard will call upon my -help when he needs a helping hand! | 0:40:50 | 0:40:56 | |
-There's a strong Welsh community -in Cwm Hyfryd. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
-Whilst I'm in Trevelin, -I've come to meet the youngsters... | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
-..who are working hard to come up -with ideas to sustain the language. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:18 | |
-Hello Iwan Madog, how are you? | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
-Hello Iwan Madog, how are you? - -I'm well, thank you. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
-I've come all the way to Argentina -to find a boy from Porthmadog! | 0:41:22 | 0:41:26 | |
-Sorry, I'm not Argentinean. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
-Why are you on your bike? | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
-I'm going to record a radio show -if you would like to join me? | 0:41:31 | 0:41:35 | |
-Yes, let's go. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
-Iwan works for the Welsh language -initiative in Patagonia... | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
-..to promote the Welsh language. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
-He also co-presents a weekly -radio show called Jam Llaeth... | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
-..with local girl, Sara Green. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:55 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
-Iwan and Sara, -tell me about the radio station. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
-The show was started in 1999... | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
-..with another Welsh teacher -called Sioned Hughes. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
-We were on air together until 2003. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
-This year, we resurrected the show. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
-It's the only show of its kind -as it's a Welsh and Spanish show. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
-It's a fun programme that plays -pop, folk and rock music. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:31 | |
-When people think -of our Welsh culture... | 0:42:31 | 0:42:35 | |
-..people will often associate us -with hymns, tea and Dafydd Iwan! | 0:42:35 | 0:42:40 | |
-There's nothing wrong with those -but there's also another side. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:46 | |
-We must show children and youngsters -that our culture is alive... | 0:42:47 | 0:42:52 | |
-..and that it's worth learning -the Welsh language. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
-After a warm welcome and -special experiences in Cwm Hyfryd... | 0:43:04 | 0:43:09 | |
-..it was time to make my way back -towards the Chubut Valley. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:13 | |
-After spending so much time -in the valley... | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
-..I felt like I was on my way home. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
-Since the Welsh arrived, -there's been a school in Gaiman... | 0:43:22 | 0:43:26 | |
-..and providing an education for the -children continues to be important. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:32 | |
-There's an annual tradition... | 0:43:32 | 0:43:34 | |
-..where a Welsh teacher comes to -work at the Camwy secondary school. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:41 | |
-This year, the inhabitants -of the school house... | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
-..are Ann-Marie and her husband, -Tito along with their children. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:51 | |
-We've been very lucky to come here -and to live in this house. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
-We're here as a family which -is different to others before us. | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
-Ann-Marie are visiting -Patagonia for only a year. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:06 | |
-However, Tito's roots -are in the Valley. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
-My great-great-grandfather -originally came from Aberystwyth. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:14 | |
-Lewis Davies was one of the first to -establish the Welsh Colony in 1865. | 0:44:14 | 0:44:19 | |
-When I met Ann-Marie, I moved -to live in Wales for 13 years. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:25 | |
-However, we're back here again as -teachers and development officers. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:31 | |
-What is life like for someone -who speaks Welsh in the Colony? | 0:44:31 | 0:44:36 | |
-We're involved with the other -Welsh speakers in the area. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:40 | |
-We see them every day in our work. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:43 | |
-We'll go out for a walk -with the children, eat ice cream... | 0:44:43 | 0:44:48 | |
-..and make the most -of the pleasant weather. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
-It's completely different to Wales. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
-People aren't materialistic -and there's emphasis on socializing. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:58 | |
-We're enjoying -a different sort of life here. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:02 | |
-Nearby on David Roberts Road... | 0:45:03 | 0:45:07 | |
-..another family enjoy living here. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
-Billy and Gladys Hughes -are both fluent Welsh speakers. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:17 | |
-The four sides of my family -come from Wales. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:20 | |
-They came from Llanelwedd -near Builth Wells, Llanuwchllyn... | 0:45:21 | 0:45:27 | |
-..and the other side of my family -comes from the Nantlle Valley... | 0:45:27 | 0:45:33 | |
-..and the failed Welsh Colony -that was established in Brazil. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
-It was established -before the Colony in Patagonia. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:41 | |
-They came from Brazil -to live here in Patagonia. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:45 | |
-For the past decade, -Billy has been a member... | 0:45:46 | 0:45:50 | |
-..of the popular music group, -Hogiau'r Wilber. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:54 | |
-They host concerts -all over Patagonia... | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
-..and have also entertained -audiences in Wales. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
-# A pure heart full of goodness # | 0:46:01 | 0:46:05 | |
-This house is a very musical home... | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
-..as Gladys also arranges -singing services or a Cymanfa. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:13 | |
-Both of them are very active -within the Welsh community. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:18 | |
-It's something -that's very natural to us. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:21 | |
-We've been born and raised here -to the tune of the Welsh language. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:27 | |
-However, we are Argentineans. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:29 | |
-When we got married, we decided -to speak Welsh to our children. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:35 | |
-As children, we received -the same opportunity... | 0:46:35 | 0:46:41 | |
-..so we were determined -to do the same for our children. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
-My time in Patagonia -was drawing to an end... | 0:46:45 | 0:46:49 | |
-..but there was one more thing -that I had to do. | 0:46:49 | 0:46:52 | |
-I was determined to spend -an evening in a Quincho. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:56 | |
-It's a building at the end -of every family's garden... | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
-..to prepare meat or to entertain -and sing with friends. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:03 | |
-# The evening has come to an end # | 0:47:04 | 0:47:07 | |
-Cheers! | 0:47:08 | 0:47:10 | |
-Billy, I can't think of a better way -to end my trip to Patagonia... | 0:47:10 | 0:47:14 | |
-..than sampling your way of life -and this asado dish. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:19 | |
-Yes, the best way to end your trip -is with a real Patagonian asado. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:25 | |
-What is this? -I can see there's plenty of meat. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:28 | |
-If I had more time, -I would've prepared a whole lamb. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:32 | |
-That's the most traditional dish. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
-However, I'm making -pork sausages and some beef. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:41 | |
-There's a fantastic aroma here. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |
-How often would you prepare -something like this? | 0:47:43 | 0:47:47 | |
-Too often! | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
-I'd never sampled -such wonderful meat. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:55 | |
-It's a shame that Argentina -and the chef, Billy... | 0:47:56 | 0:47:59 | |
-..are so far away from Anglesey! | 0:47:59 | 0:48:03 | |
-Billy and Gladys, -thanks for your welcome... | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
-..and to everyone who's welcomed us -to the Welsh Colony. | 0:48:06 | 0:48:10 | |
-It's been unforgettable. | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
-It's been unforgettable. - -Cheers! | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
-The people were also fantastic -and very welcoming. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:22 | |
-I got the feeling that they enjoyed -welcoming people from Wales. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:27 | |
-As someone who enjoys singing, -eating and chatting... | 0:48:27 | 0:48:31 | |
-..I was in heaven! | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
-It's been a battle ever since the -Welsh arrived here, 150 years ago. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:47 | |
-They landed at Puerto Madryn -and arrived in the wilderness... | 0:48:48 | 0:48:53 | |
-..before travelling to the valley -and discovering the Chubut River. | 0:48:53 | 0:48:59 | |
-Incredibly, 150 years later, the -Welsh language can still be heard. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:04 | |
-I've travelled all over Patagonia -and met so many residents. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:09 | |
-We're gradually losing -the Colony's older generation. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:15 | |
-However, it won't be the end -of the Welsh Colony... | 0:49:15 | 0:49:19 | |
-..thanks to the enthusiasm -of the next generation. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:23 | |
-It's been a memorable adventure... | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
-..and I'll never forget -the Welsh Argentineans. | 0:49:27 | 0:49:31 | |
-Until next time, farewell Patagonia. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:34 | |
