-It's a very special day for us.

-It's International

-Twm Sion Cati Day!

-I'm Llion Williams...

-..and I'm currently touring Wales

-It's a very warm welcome to Heno.

-Today is International

-Twm Sion Cati Day...

-..and Dafydd Wyn has been

-celebrating the event in Tregaron.

-I'm in Tregaron by the Talbot where

-an elephant is said to be buried...

-..and there's the statue of the

-Apostle of Peace, Henry Richard.

-I'm not here for either of them

-but to hear about Twm Sion Cati.

-It's International Twm Sion Cati Day

-and the man himself is here now.

-Twm Sion Cati or Thomas Jones was

-born in 1530 and died in 1609.

-We remember Twm Sion Cati on 17 May,

-which is the date on his will.

-A copy of the will is in the

-Red Kite Centre and town museum.

-Pupils from Ysgol Henry Richard

-remember Twm with many activities.

-It started in 2009 but why did

-you want to celebrate his life?

-He's a local hero who helped

-Tregaron gain its notoriety.

-It's important to remember our

-heroes and especially Twm Sion Cati.

-You mentioned the local school and I

-joined them at some of their events.

-This morning, Twm Sion Cati

-is meeting pupils of Years 5 and 6.

-It's a great opportunity

-for the children to learn about him.

-They studied Twm

-and the local history last term.

-The children are busy at the moment.

-What suggestions have you made?

-There's a Twm Sion Cati fancy dress

-or an evening at the memorial hall.

-We can write a story about Twm

-Sion Cati with a cover for it too.

-You can dress up as Twm Sion Cati.

-You can create a short film.

-My idea is to visit the cave.

-You could have a statue.

-What are you doing this year?

-What are you doing this year?

-

-The Twm Trail.

-After planning the celebrations

-for the next five years...

-..they set off to the town centre

-on a trail devised by the pupils.

-We're in the centre of Tregaron

-by the Twm Sion Cati statue...

-..because Twm Sion Cati

-is very famous in Tregaron.

-Next, they visited St Caron Church

-for an interesting story about Twm.

-We're in the cemetery where they

-think Twm Sion Cati could be buried.

-People are uncertain because Twm

-and the local vicar were rivals...

-..because Twm Sion Cati

-had left the gates open...

-..so all the animals trampled over

-the vicar's vegetable patch.

-We're going to different places...

-..and making videos about the story

-of Twm Sion Cati.

-We're at the Red Kite Centre

-to see Twm Sion Cati's will.

-He left money to his wife

-and a bed for his son.

-Is it important that the will

-is still in Tregaron?

-Yes, it is.

-The next part took the pupils into

-the area's glorious green fields...

-..to Porth y Ffynnon.

-We've reached Porth y Ffynnon which

-is where Twm Sion Cati was born.

-After touring the area, the trail

-ended in the heart of Tregaron.

-We've reached the final stop

-which is Clos Twm Sion Cati.

-It's possible

-that he was buried in this car park.

-My favourite part

-was seeing Twm Sion Cati's will.

-Have you enjoyed yourself today?

-Yes, I've thoroughly enjoy the day

-and making the clips on the iPad.

-It's been wonderful and everyone has

-enjoyed the trail around the town...

-..to celebrate

-International Twm Sion Cati Day.

-Come back next year when there'll be

-more than one Twm Sion Cati!

-There's been plenty of celebrating

-but Twm Sion Cati isn't leaving.

-No, you can learn about Twm Sion

-Cati all through the year.

-I offer walking tours such as

-today's Twm Town Trail to visitors.

-Welsh historic societies also come

-here to learn about this hero.

-Can people buy one of these toys?

-Can people buy one of these toys?

-

-No, they have all sold.

-Can I take this one home?

-No, this is number 400 and I'll take

-it to the Antiques Roadshow!

-Happy International Twm Sion Cati

-Day to you and everyone at home.

-Thank you, Daf.

-A happy International

-Twm Sion Cati Day to everyone!

-Tonight's studio guest is the

-author and journalist, Tim Hartley.

-Welcome to Heno, Tim.

-Thank you very much.

-I read about Twm Sion Cati.

-I read the books of T Llew Jones.

-I loved all the stories.

-Tim joins me tonight to chat about

-his latest book.

-The book is called

-Kicking Off in North Korea.

-The title is quite interesting.

-It isn't just a book

-for football fans...

-..but ideal for those with

-an interest in travel and people.

-The book is a collection of stories

-taken from travel diaries.

-North Korea is an interesting

-country.

-I was taken around the country...

-..and got to see

-a football match too.

-I was expecting a lot of noise...

-..but they didn't make a sound.

-The soldiers were reading books...

-..as opposed to watching the game!

-You've always been a football fan.

-Football has been

-a real eye-opener for me.

-I met someone who trains people

-in the Basque Country.

-There are young women in Africa...

-..who play football...

-..and this is their way of escapism

-from their lives.

-There are good and bad aspects

-to football.

-We all think of football as a sport.

-I'm very passionate

-about all the game can offer.

-There's a charity in Azerbaijan.

-I like to work with the countries

-and help young children...

-..when Wales is playing

-in those countries.

-I want the book

-to encourage people...

-..to visit the various countries

-of the world.

-I went to Brazil and

-met some incredible people.

-Are you going to France?

-Yes, I'm going to France.

-I hope to play some football

-myself too.

-The Welsh cyclist, Owain Doull

-is leaving Team Wiggins.

-He joins Gareth Thomas and Luke Rowe

-in Team Sky for the next season.

-He's also hoping to represent

-Britain in the Rio Olympic Games.

-Congratulations to him and we wish

-him all the best for the future.

-After the break, Gerallt admires the

-cherry blossom in all their glory.

-It's National Dementia

-Awareness Week...

-..and Rhodri Davies hears of a play

-that covers this sensitive issue.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Last night, one lucky viewer could

-win a hamper of delicious cheese.

-We asked you to name the cheese

-linked with a Welsh town.

-Was it Caerphilly Cheese,

-Llanelli Cheese or Swansea Cheese?

-The answer is Caerphilly Cheese.

-Myra Lewis from Llandeilo answered

-correctly and has won the hamper!

-The beautiful cherry blossom is

-a sure sign that spring has sprung!

-The stunning flowers inspire

-gardeners and poets alike.

-Gerallt has been

-to learn all about them.

-May wouldn't be the same without

-the pink and white cherry blossom.

-These colours feature prominently

-in our towns and countryside.

-The cherry blossom

-with the white flowers...

-..can be found everywhere and

-are even planted next to motorways.

-These grow quickly and a beautiful

-in the spring months.

-The trees with pink flowers

-are more common in our gardens...

-..and are imported from countries

-such as Japan and China.

-They fill our gardens and Llangefni

-industrial estate has them too.

-I'm amazed at the many memories

-people have of these trees.

-One of my memories at Ysgol Syr Hugh

-Owen is shared by every pupil...

-..and that's the row of

-cherry blossom next to the road.

-They are beautiful

-but make me feel a little sick...

-..because they flower at exam times.

-These pink candy floss flowers

-remind me swatting.

-Who wants to be indoors studying

-when all the flowers are in bloom?

-It was a sign that summer was coming

-but we needed to sit exams first.

-Every morning, I come to work

-at the Cibyn Industrial Estate.

-I don't know if the other workers

-appreciate it as much as me...

-..but I love turning the corner

-to look at this sea of colour.

-It isn't just the colour

-of the cherry blossom...

-It isn't just the colour

-of the cherry blossom...

-..but the trees remind me

-of when I was in school in Holland.

-The man who owned the land

-on which the school was built...

-..loved cherry blossom and planted

-thousands of them on the roadside.

-The roads in Holland are flat

-and straight and go on for miles.

-It was incredible to see

-the cherry blossom in full bloom.

-When they were out of season,

-there would be a storm of pink snow!

-Thank you for reminding me

-of my past.

-A E Housman has a lovely verse about

-cherry blossom in A Shropshire Lad.

-He describes it as snow flurry...

-..and this 20-year-old only has

-50 years left to admire the tree.

-He describes it in the forest

-and it makes us want to see it.

-The same is as true today

-as it was in 1896.

-I work in a garden centre...

-..and people flock to the centre

-when the cherry blossom is in bloom.

-These are wonderful trees

-to have in your garden.

-We have to wait a long time

-to see them but they are worth it...

-..but they are very messy too!

-The cherry blossom

-are certainly beautiful.

-I had a one in my garden.

-It's National Dementia

-Awareness Week.

-The disorder not only affects the

-sufferer but also their families.

-Re-LIVE is touring with a bilingual

-play that focuses on dementia.

-It's called Belonging / Perthyn

-and stars Llion Williams.

-Rhodri enjoyed a preview

-and spoke to the cast.

-Hello?

-It's alright, it's me. It's Mags.

-I've brought you some clean clothes.

-Belonging / Perthyn is a bilingual

-play that deals with dementia.

-It's been very emotional

-for all the actors in this play.

-During the day, we often perform

-to professionals in health care...

-..but those performances

-are also open to the public.

-Many don't attend the theatre

-but their response has been amazing.

-The feedback from the audience

-has been absolutely incredible.

-Many say it's exactly what it's like

-living with someone with dementia.

-It was a real eye-opener to see how

-this condition affects the family.

-It isn't a 9-4 job

-but is continuous and never-ending.

-When are we going home?

-Oh, my love. You are home.

-We're home.

-We've lived here over 30 years.

-It's a bilingual play and

-that's a very important aspect...

-..because a person with dementia

-reverts to their mother tongue.

-In Wales, people not only revert to

-Welsh but Italian and Spanish too.

-If the carer doesn't understand then

-it makes communication difficult.

-Winter's on it's way.

-Winter? Gaeaf? Winter's over, love.

-Both the sufferer and the family

-are victims of this condition...

-..and I hope we show that as well as

-how it affects the professionals.

-They are simply

-doing a day's work.

-It's rare to leave the workplace

-without being affected by it.

-Shwmae, Maggie.

-Shwmae, Maggie.

-

-It's Mags.

-I'm Sian, one of the...

-I'm Sian, one of the...

-

-I don't speak Welsh.

-No worries. I'm Sian,

-one of the care workers here.

-Morris was saying about preparing

-the ground for planting crops.

-A farmer's boy.

-A farmer's boy.

-

-He didn't like farming.

-Has he had his tablets?

-Many people seem to enjoy this play.

-It doesn't feel like a performance

-but their lives acted out on stage.

-This could be a catharsis...

-..or they feel relief to know that

-others are dealing with the same.

-It's National Dementia

-Awareness Week...

-..so it's important to spread

-the message about the condition.

-Our audiences want people

-in the community...

-..to understand the feelings

-of the families, nurses and doctors.

-They could help by offering support

-or showing understanding.

-Let's go and see the sea... y mor.

-That's it, come on.

-Let's go for a nice walk.

-We could both do with it.

-The play is running

-until the start of June.
