-Hello and welcome

-to Tuesday night's Heno.

0:00:170:00:20

-It's great to have your company.

0:00:210:00:23

-It's an important night in Lampeter.

0:00:240:00:26

-Some colourful characters are in the

-pages of a new book about tramps.

0:00:260:00:34

-Heledd is on the coast in Aberaeron.

0:00:340:00:38

-What do you think is made from?

0:00:380:00:41

-Is it made from a tree

-grown especially for the job?

0:00:410:00:44

-No, it's driftwood

-or at least it was driftwood.

0:00:440:00:46

-It's now a beautiful decoration.

0:00:470:00:49

-Later, we'll meet Gwawr who is

-responsible for the transformation.

0:00:490:00:53

-We step back in time with Daf Wyn

-and the workers of the Cardi Bach.

0:00:540:01:00

-Tonight, we meet the second finalist

-for the Bryn Terfel Scholarship.

0:01:000:01:06

-It's Lleucu Parri from Cardiff.

0:01:060:01:10

-My guest is an old hand at competing

-in the Eisteddfod...

0:01:100:01:14

-..but has turned her hand

-to journalism and reporting.

0:01:140:01:17

-Glesni Euros is the latest reporter

-to join S4C's Hacio.

0:01:170:01:20

-Welcome to the programme.

0:01:200:01:22

-Thank you.

0:01:220:01:24

-It's lovely to be here.

0:01:250:01:26

-We'll hear all about

-your new role later.

0:01:270:01:30

-Welcome to Heno.

0:01:300:01:31

-We start the programme by tracing

-the history of the tramp.

0:01:360:01:40

-At one time, they were

-a common sight in rural Wales.

0:01:410:01:45

-Reverend Goronwy Evans from Lampeter

-has published the book, Ar Grwydir.

0:01:450:01:51

-It tells the story

-of many Welsh tramps.

0:01:510:01:54

-Rhodri met him at Brondeifi Chapel

-to hear all about it.

0:01:540:01:58

-The background of the book

-stems back to my childhood.

0:02:030:02:09

-Tramps often visited

-and Mam would feed them.

0:02:090:02:16

-I spent 50 years as a minister

-in Brondeifi before I retired.

0:02:160:02:22

-There was a tramp in the town

-called George Gibbs.

0:02:220:02:25

-I thought the world of George

-who was from Scotstoun in Glasgow.

0:02:260:02:31

-He fought in the war

-and was torpedoed three times.

0:02:310:02:36

-He came home to Scotland and

-his street had been demolished...

0:02:360:02:42

-..and his wife was under the rubble.

0:02:420:02:46

-This is why he took to the road

-and he told me this story.

0:02:460:02:51

-This was the reason for me

-writing the book.

0:02:510:02:55

-You could say that

-there is a Welsh tradition...

0:02:550:03:00

-..with the super-tramp, W H Davies.

0:03:000:03:07

-"What is this life if, full of care,

-We have no time to stand and stare."

0:03:070:03:12

-He has an interesting story and

-was raised by his grandparents...

0:03:120:03:16

-..and spent time

-in the United States.

0:03:170:03:20

-I read that book before writing this

-but we have our super-tramps too.

0:03:210:03:27

-Many came to the rural towns...

0:03:270:03:31

-..in Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire

-and Pembrokeshire.

0:03:310:03:35

-They were given shelter,

-a place to sleep, food and work.

0:03:360:03:44

-I remember Dafydd Jones Gwallt Hir

-when I was a child.

0:03:440:03:49

-He was born in Bwlchllan

-near Lampeter and had a large cart.

0:03:490:03:54

-I was one of three lads who helped

-him up the hill in Cwmsychbant.

0:03:540:03:59

-Curiosity killed the cat and I tried

-to see in the cart but got caught.

0:04:000:04:05

-Dafydd said, "Should I come into

-your home and open the cupboards?"

0:04:050:04:15

-I realized that the cart was his

-home, kitchen and everything he had.

0:04:160:04:25

-The cross-section of characters

-and geography is very interesting.

0:04:250:04:30

-The book covers

-as far afield as Australia.

0:04:300:04:36

-Joseph Jenkins was a swagman

-and carried everything on his back.

0:04:370:04:45

-This gentleman farmer became a

-gentleman walker in Australia...

0:04:460:04:53

-..but he came home

-and is buried at Capel y Groes.

0:04:530:04:58

-Is this tradition continuing?

0:04:590:05:02

-I thought that with George Gibbs,

-I'd buried the last of the tramps.

0:05:030:05:10

-A few days ago, I got a call from

-a local farmer called Dafydd Jones.

0:05:100:05:16

-He wanted to introduce me to someone

-from the Czech Republic...

0:05:160:05:21

-..who had toured Europe

-and hadn't been home since 2009.

0:05:210:05:27

-I went to meet him and was

-faced with the modern-day wanderer.

0:05:280:05:34

-He had a large scooter

-that was covered with bags.

0:05:340:05:42

-He used his foot

-to push the scooter.

0:05:430:05:48

-What do you hope to have achieved

-from writing this book?

0:05:480:05:54

-is in print for all to see.

0:05:540:06:01

-I felt that we were losing

-this tradition from our lives...

0:06:010:06:06

-..so it was important record the

-story of these very special people.

0:06:060:06:12

-Those were some interesting stories.

0:06:200:06:22

-Good luck to Goronwy with the

-book launch in Lampeter tonight.

0:06:220:06:26

-My guest is the latest reporter

-to join the team of S4C's Hacio.

0:06:260:06:29

-Glesni Euros,

-welcome to the programme.

0:06:290:06:32

-Thank you.

0:06:320:06:34

-Congratulations on your new role.

0:06:340:06:38

-You've become the latest

-reporter to join S4C's Hacio.

0:06:380:06:42

-I feel as if I'm in the job that

-I was meant to have.

0:06:530:07:00

-Tell us a bit about yourself.

0:07:000:07:05

-I still work with the Eisteddfod.

0:07:050:07:09

-I've followed a path to try

-and find myself.

0:07:090:07:15

-I studied German in Oxford...

0:07:150:07:24

-..before going to study History

-in London.

0:07:250:07:33

-I'd always wanted to be

-a journalist...

0:07:330:07:43

-..so went to study for a diploma

-in Cardiff.

0:07:470:07:57

-How did you get the presenting job

-on Hacio?

0:07:570:08:03

-I worked with the BBC after college.

0:08:030:08:11

-The opportunity arose to work with

-Hacio...

0:08:110:08:16

-..and I jumped at the chance.

0:08:160:08:21

-You can watch Hacio on S4C

-from next month.

0:08:210:08:26

-It starts on 24 November.

0:08:260:08:30

-There's four programmes

-in this series.

0:08:300:08:35

-The first programme

-is an hour-long programme.

0:08:350:08:38

-Let's see a clip that you made

-that discusses mental health.

0:08:380:08:42

-You're a campaigner

-for mental health.

0:08:420:08:44

-the meaning of mental health.

0:08:440:08:48

-Can you describe your experience

-to us?

0:08:480:08:51

-I live with anxiety...

0:08:510:08:53

-..and have panic attacks where

-other people wouldn't feel anxious.

0:08:530:08:58

-When I started, I wouldn't speak to

-anyone and didn't know what it was.

0:08:590:09:03

-I had panic attacks in classes,

-couldn't answer questions or talk.

0:09:030:09:08

-It was very difficult for me.

0:09:080:09:13

-You can see that clip online.

0:09:130:09:23

-You deal with some sensitive issues.

0:09:260:09:30

-Yes, that's right.

0:09:300:09:34

-It's important to remember

-that young people...

0:09:340:09:37

-..are important.

0:09:370:09:41

-They are the future.

0:09:410:09:46

-The people who feature

-in our videos...

0:09:460:09:49

-..are happy to speak to us.

0:09:490:09:55

-You also raise money.

0:09:550:10:01

-Yes, it's the RNIB.

0:10:010:10:06

-I chose to run the Cardiff Half

-Marathon.

0:10:060:10:12

-I did it in just over two hours.

0:10:120:10:21

-I'm not an athletic person.

0:10:210:10:25

-I'm glad to have done it.

0:10:260:10:30

-Thanks to everyone who sponsored me.

0:10:310:10:36

-I've raised over 800.

0:10:360:10:39

-People can still donate on my Just

-Giving page!

0:10:390:10:45

-Thank you, Glesni.

0:10:450:10:47

-Next, we hear of a woman who makes

-a living from visiting the beach...

0:10:470:10:51

-..and collects driftwood

-in all weathers.

0:10:510:10:54

-Heledd Gwyndaf heard about

-the inspiration behind Brocera.

0:10:540:10:58

-Ireland and the western weather.

0:10:580:11:02

-The harbour is sheltered but the sea

-has thrown up some driftwood.

0:11:020:11:07

-You might think

-that it looks messy...

0:11:080:11:11

-..but Gwawr views it

-as an opportunity.

0:11:110:11:15

-Under the brand of Brocera, Gwawr

-collects and transforms driftwood.

0:11:180:11:24

-How did you start

-collecting driftwood?

0:11:250:11:28

-I've been in Aberaeron for three

-years and love coming to the beach.

0:11:290:11:33

-I can't walk passed a piece of

-driftwood as I'm obsessed with it!

0:11:330:11:38

-I started messing around

-and made a few things for my home...

0:11:380:11:43

-..before making gifts

-for birthdays and weddings.

0:11:430:11:49

-People liked what I'd made and asked

-me for items and it grew from there.

0:11:490:11:54

-I love recycling and it's important

-to find a new purpose to an item.

0:11:550:12:05

-What makes

-a good piece of driftwood?

0:12:060:12:09

-It all depends on what I'm making.

0:12:100:12:14

-If the piece is straight, it could

-be good for a Christmas tree.

0:12:140:12:21

-Another piece

-could resemble a fish tail.

0:12:210:12:26

-Other items could suit the top

-of a tree or be a candle holder.

0:12:260:12:31

-When is the best time

-to collect driftwood?

0:12:310:12:35

-There are times when I come

-to the beach and there's nothing.

0:12:350:12:40

-If there's a high tide, as we've got

-today, you're likely to find some.

0:12:400:12:46

-The aftermath of a storm is also

-a good time to find driftwood.

0:12:460:12:50

-Gwawr treats the wood in a workshop

-near the beach in her garden.

0:12:510:12:56

-After collecting the driftwood,

-I bring it home.

0:12:570:13:01

-There's a bucket by my shed...

0:13:010:13:05

-..where I leave the driftwood

-to soak in bleach and water.

0:13:050:13:09

-This helps to clear it

-of any insects hiding in the wood.

0:13:100:13:17

-After a week in the water, it dries,

-looks cleaner and paler too.

0:13:170:13:24

-Last Christmas,

-I sold a few Christmas trees.

0:13:240:13:29

-People saw them in other homes

-and asked me to make one...

0:13:290:13:35

-..so I've got enough stock

-for this year.

0:13:350:13:38

-Why do you do this?

0:13:390:13:42

-I love messing around

-with driftwood.

0:13:420:13:47

-It gives me time to think and

-sort out any problems in my mind.

0:13:470:13:51

-The items were wonderful.

0:14:010:14:03

-After the break,

-we meet Lleucu Parri...

0:14:040:14:07

-..one of the finalists in

-this year's Bryn Terfel Scholarship.

0:14:070:14:12

-How many of you in West Wales

-remember the Cardi Bach train?

0:14:120:14:16

-We reminisce with the people

-who worked on the rails.

0:14:160:14:22

-It was more enjoyable with some

-drivers than it was with others.

0:14:220:14:29

0:14:370:14:41

0:14:420:14:44

-On Sunday, at the Stiwt Theatre

-in Rhosllanerchrugog...

0:14:440:14:47

-..winners from the Urdd will compete

-for the Bryn Terfel Scholarship.

0:14:480:14:52

-Last night, we met one competitor,

-namely Meilir Jones from Llangefni.

0:14:520:14:57

-The second competitor

-is from the Welsh capital.

0:14:570:15:01

-My name is Lleucu Parri,

-I'm 17 and from Cardiff.

0:15:140:15:19

-I won the solo folk dance for girls

-under 25.

0:15:190:15:23

-I started dancing

-when I was about seven years old.

0:15:350:15:40

-Mam and my aunt enjoyed clog dancing

-when they were young...

0:15:400:15:45

-I really enjoy it and dance

-with friends and the Bro Taf group.

0:15:490:15:56

-Dancing gives me

-a lot of opportunities too.

0:15:560:16:01

-The Eisteddfod is a massive part

-of my life and I compete every year.

0:16:010:16:07

-I compete in the dancing

-because it's something I enjoy.

0:16:070:16:12

-The Eisteddfod

-is great for building confidence.

0:16:120:16:16

-I hope to study the flute so this

-has helped me with my future.

0:16:160:16:23

-Hearing that I'd been chosen for

-the scholarship was a huge shock.

0:16:320:16:40

-I was at the bar in the Urdd

-Eisteddfod and waiting for the gig.

0:16:400:16:45

-Mam phoned and I was so shocked

-as it was totally unexpected...

0:16:450:16:50

-..but it's a fantastic opportunity.

0:16:500:16:54

-On the night, I hope my enjoyment

-on stage is felt by the audience...

0:16:540:17:00

-..and they enjoy my performance.

0:17:000:17:05

-Glesni Euros is my studio guest

-this evening.

0:17:090:17:12

-You competed

-in the Bryn Terfel Scholarship.

0:17:120:17:16

-Yes, I was in the competition

-in 2013.

0:17:160:17:21

-Yes, I was in the competition

-in 2012.

0:17:210:17:26

-I enjoyed every second of it.

0:17:270:17:30

-It was brilliant.

0:17:300:17:39

-There was a great community amongst

-the competitors.

0:17:390:17:44

-It was a real honour too.

0:17:440:17:48

-It gave me a lot of confidence too.

0:17:480:17:52

-I'd won at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:17:520:17:56

-I'd love to do it again.

0:17:560:18:01

-We've mentioned that you compete

-a lot in the Eisteddfod.

0:18:020:18:06

-I had a lot of success.

0:18:060:18:10

-Delyth Mair Nicholas helped a lot.

0:18:110:18:15

-I'd advise anyone to do it.

0:18:160:18:19

-Let's step back in time

-to when you started performing.

0:18:190:18:22

-I don't like to boast but enjoy

-drama and reciting and singing.

0:18:220:18:28

-I'm not saying

-that I'm brilliant at them all...

0:18:290:18:33

-..but those are the things

-that top the list at the moment.

0:18:330:18:36

-I like dancing and don't compete

-but I used to when I was younger.

0:18:360:18:41

-What did you think of that?

0:18:410:18:45

-I can't believe

-that you had that clip!

0:18:450:18:48

-I don't dance any more.

0:18:490:18:52

-I hate dancing.

0:18:520:18:59

-That brings back a lot of memories.

0:18:590:19:05

-The Eisteddfod gives you a target.

0:19:050:19:15

-It was a great way to give you

-a target.

0:19:160:19:21

-I've started back in the Eisteddfod.

0:19:210:19:31

-I was in Lampeter over the summer.

0:19:320:19:38

-I'm doing the recitation

-competitions.

0:19:380:19:41

-If you travelled around Ceredigion

-until the early 1960s...

0:19:410:19:45

-..you'll be familiar with the train,

-the Cardi Bach.

0:19:450:19:48

-It carried merchandise and people

-all over the county.

0:19:480:19:51

-The line was famous for its

-steam engine and lively workforce.

0:19:520:19:55

-That workforce gathered to reminisce

-and Daf Wyn joined them.

0:19:550:19:58

-The Cardi Bach train ran

-from Whitland to Cardigan...

0:19:590:20:03

-..opening as a goods train in 1873.

0:20:030:20:07

-Later on, it also

-carried passengers.

0:20:070:20:11

-The line closed in 1963.

0:20:110:20:15

-The station is now

-a cafe and museum...

0:20:150:20:18

-..having been restored

-by the owners.

0:20:190:20:22

-Last week, some former workers came

-to reminisce about the Cardi Bach.

0:20:220:20:27

-It's don't think so many Cardi Bach

-workers have ever come together.

0:20:280:20:35

-Some of these don't know each other.

0:20:350:20:38

-Some worked in Cardigan,

-others in Whitland and Llanfallteg.

0:20:390:20:45

-It's great that they're able

-to meet each other.

0:20:450:20:49

-I started on the railways

-on 10 October, 1954.

0:20:490:20:52

-When I was 23, I became a

-stationmaster, the youngest ever.

0:20:520:20:58

-I think the record still stands

-to this day.

0:20:590:21:04

-Which memories come to mind

-when you think of the Cardi Bach?

0:21:050:21:09

-The characters, definitely.

0:21:090:21:14

-If you were late with the first

-train going through the villages...

0:21:140:21:19

-..they would all know about it

-in town.

0:21:200:21:23

-"The 7.00am train was late

-this morning" they would say.

0:21:230:21:27

-It was part of the community.

0:21:280:21:32

-People even set the time by it.

0:21:320:21:35

-The Whitland doctors delivered

-medicine on the train.

0:21:350:21:38

-It didn't just run between stations.

0:21:380:21:42

-You might stop to pick up

-a fisherman...

0:21:420:21:45

-..or even a salmon!

0:21:450:21:48

-I would use a shovel.

0:21:490:21:52

-I was young then,

-far more agile than I am now.

0:21:520:21:55

-I was using the shovel,

-turning around like this...

0:21:550:21:59

-..when it slipped from my hands

-into the firebox.

0:21:590:22:03

-That was the end of it

-because it couldn't be recovered.

-to open the line.

0:22:370:22:43

-a great shame.

0:22:440:22:47

-of year with the holidaymakers.

0:22:470:22:52

-for the very last time.

0:22:520:22:55

-Yes, the boxes

-and most of the gates.

0:22:550:22:58

-I still have the keys.

0:22:580:23:02

-Nobody knows!

0:23:020:23:05

-What do you think of the

-get-together this morning.

0:23:050:23:09

-I can't describe how it feels to

-meet up with some great friends.

0:23:090:23:15

-I know each and very one of them.
