-We have viewers who share

-all of their opinions...

-..be it negative or positive.

-You can get to know authors too.

-There are discussion on the blog

-about the industry.

-We want to hear from authors

-about what makes then tick.

-Authors offer advice and tips

-to budding writers.

-What is a blog

-and where can our viewers read it?

-There's a variety on material

-on the blog.

-There will be videos and so on as

-part of the blog.

-It's early days yet.

-You can post an article or blog

-via our contact page...

-..or email [email protected]

-The blog has grown

-over the past few weeks.

-Readers are encouraged to contribute

-to the Welsh Bookshelf.

-for a perfect Halloween party.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Yvonne Davies from Cwmgors is

-being pampered by our makeover team.

-How are things going, Huw?

-Everything is going smoothly.

-Emma and Ruth have been busy

-whilst I had a cuppa and a biscuit.

-You haven't done a lot, Ruth.

-You haven't done a lot, Ruth.

-

-There isn't a lot to do!

-You've been combing for a while.

-Yes, I'm combing out the hairspray

-so that I can trim it.

-Why don't you like hairspray?

-I don't like cutting hair

-when it has a product on it.

-It's soft now.

-It looks different too.

-It doesn't have the height

-it had with the hairspray.

-Yvonne has short hair

-so what are you going to do?

-I'm going to take it shorter.

-Is that alright, Yvonne?

-Is that alright, Yvonne?

-

-Yes, that's fine.

-Everyone is happy with whatever Ruth

-does with the hair.

-I'll trim the hair around the ears

-and at the back too.

-All this length will have gone.

-I've turned Yvonne

-so it's difficult for you, Ruth.

-Yes, I can't see what I'm doing.

-We've got faith in Ruth!

-Ruth always has a tool for the hair

-but you've got one for the make-up.

-I spend a lot of money on tools and

-brushes and make-up.

-This was 3 from Primark and I

-love and tell everyone to buy them!

-These are great for airbrushing your

-make-up.

-It looks as if you've been edited as

-it pushes the make-up into the skin.

-As opposed to using stripes,

-you create circles.

-You use less and blends better

-so you don't need to concentrate.

-Do you need to buy more

-as they are not going to last?

-Feel this because it's so soft and

-it's great for 3.

-You don't have a clue!

-I've got one for foundation, one for

-powder and another for concealer.

-Do you change and experiment

-with your make-up, Yvonne?

-I like to change things.

-This will interest you and Emma

-can tell you more about it.

-There will be queues outside Primark

-for this little item!

-What colours are you using?

-I've looked at the clothes

-but always have this palette.

-It's great for all seasons

-and ideal for everyone.

-It's the naked smoky palette.

-I've used some of the colours

-that I like a lot.

-Is it a waste to buy such a big

-palette or should you buy smaller?

-I'm going to use every colour

-so will get my money's worth...

-..but buy a smaller one if you

-prefer to stick to one colour.

-In 20 minutes, we'll be back in the

-studio and Yvonne will look great.

-Yes, I hope so!

-We can't wait to see the results

-at the end of this programme.

-Halloween isn't until next Monday.

-But, I'm sure there'll be a few

-frightful parties this weekend.

-Rachel Davies is here

-to show us how to throw one.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-I like the spider!

-We're also throwing a party at home.

-Halloween parties

-seem to be growing in popularity.

-You don't have to spend a fortune

-to host a Halloween party.

-Not many people go trick

-and treating now.

-Lights always create an ambience.

-This skull bunting is from Tiger.

-The petrifying paper skull bunting

-costs 1 from Tiger.

-They will blow in the wind

-and look petrifying!

-You're able to keep some decorations

-to use every year.

-You're also able to mix and match.

-Everything here

-only costs a couple of pounds.

-This next item is placed

-in the middle of the table.

-It's a branch from the garden.

-I've decorated with some lights and

-a spider's web.

-Aldi sell the ghoulish

-green lights for 3.99.

-You're able to use this branch

-at other times of the year.

-The spider web table runner

-is only 2.99 from Lidl.

-You can re-use this next year.

-It's a great price too.

-There's also a table cloth

-from Tesco.

-We have also placed out some

-Halloween themed plates.

-We've got a whole host of games

-to keep your guests entertained.

-You can place these items in a box.

-You can feel them inside the box.

-It feels quite hard!

-These are witches nails!

-We also have some dried apricots

-for ears!

-The spaghetti could be brains!

-The next game is like

-place a tail on the donkey...

-..but with a spider

-and a spider's web.

-You can also get some straws

-and blow some spiders home!

-We also have some hoops

-to throw over some witches hats.

-On the same theme...

-..we have some toilet paper

-with some spooky eyes on them.

-They look like ghosts!

-I've also got a pumpkin

-for a skittles game.

-There's also a pass the parcel game.

-In the game, you unwrap the teddy.

-The pumpkin in the front is used

-for a game of golf.

-Let's move on to the carving kits.

-I found a pumpkin for 79p.

-costs 1 from Tiger.

-Home Bargains

-sell pumpkin stencils for 99p.

-There are around twelve different

-shapes to carve out.

-The colouring-in mask book

-This will keep your little ones

-entertained.

-You could also create some scary

-eyeballs in the kitchen.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-In a moment,

-Alison Huw will be discussing honey.

-We also reveal the results

-of Yvonne Davies' makeover.

-Don't move a muscle.

-Our resident experts

-enjoy answering your questions.

-You can contact us

-and share your problems with us.

-Members of Aelwyd Hamdden

-Cymry Caerdydd invited Ieuan...

-..to solve their gardening dilemmas.

-Thank you

-for inviting me here today.

-It's wonderful to be here

-to answer your gardening questions.

-Who's going first?

-I've planted a lemon geranium in a

-pot and brought a cutting for you.

-Do you know if it's going

-to survive outdoors over the winter?

-The answer to that is no.

-It's unlikely to survive the winter

-as it's sensitive to the frost.

-You should bring the pot indoors

-before our first frost next month.

-Place it on a windowsill

-so it gets plenty of daylight.

-It will grow and flower all year and

-fill the room with amazing aromas.

-You can put it back outside in May

-after the threat of frost desists.

-Before moving it outdoors, prune it

-and feed it with fertilizer.

-What can I do to get rid of whitefly

-from my glasshouse?

-There's a few things and

-a combination of things works best.

-During the winter, empty the

-glasshouse and disinfect it.

-You can either use a disinfectant

-or light a sulphur bomb...

-..that produces smoke that kills

-any insects that survive the winter.

-Secondly, you can buy yellow, sticky

-cards from garden centres...

-..to hang above

-or between your plants.

-Whitefly is attracted to the yellow

-and they stick to the paper...

-..which reduces the number

-of insects that infect your plants.

-Finally, there's a tiny insect that

-attacks the whitefly and kills them.

-These are not sold

-at garden centres...

-..but ordered from companies that

-specialize in organic treatments.

-I've got the details of

-two companies that I can give you.

-I've got two climbing roses that

-have grown wild for ten years...

-..but flower beautifully at the top.

-How can I save them

-or is it too late?

-No, it isn't too late but you need

-to prune them every year.

-The best time for pruning

-is between December and February.

-First, remove any dead

-or unsightly branches...

-..and cut back the old,

-thick branches.

-You might need a hand saw and

-wear gloves to protect your hands.

-Retain a minimum of six, young

-branches but shorten them by half...

-..and remove any shoots

-from those branches.

-This encourages the plant

-to branch out...

-..to give flower-producing stems

-lower down the plant...

-..as opposed to having them all

-at the top.

-Removing old stems encourages

-new growth from the base.

-I have to admit that all your

-questions were very interesting.

-Thank you very much.

-APPLAUSE

-Everyone enjoyed there.

-This week is National Honey Week.

-Alison enlightens us of its useful

-properties and different varieties.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Why are we celebrating honey?

-It's important to promote honey.

-This is a great way

-to promote the bee...

-..that is so important to us.

-What is honey?

-Honey is made from nectar.

-Bees are the only insects...

-..that can transform nectar into

-something that humans can consume.

-One bee in its short life

-of 30 days...

-..will produce a small teaspoon

-of honey.

-You've got a personal interest

-in bees.

-My parents kept bees

-for over 40 years.

-This time of year was a hive

-of activity in our home.

-We had to collect honey...

-..but also make sure

-that we left enough in the hives...

-..for the bees over the winter.

-We often put our honey in jars and

-sold it!

-There are many ways to add honey to

-your diet.

-The colour of the honey...

-..depends on the flowers

-where the bees collected the nectar.

-Honey is sold in a variety of forms.

-Runny honey contains

-a lot of fructose.

-White sugar is made of 30%

-glucose...

-..and fructose,

-which is the sugar found in fruit.

-Cheaper honey is often

-a combination of many honeys.

-People rave about Manuka Honey.

-Manuka Honey is excellent

-and has many benefits.

-Research is underway as to using

-Manuka Honey in modern medicine.

-You can have honey for breakfast.

-Yes, you can have it on your cereal.

-You can add honey to a camomile tea

-with lemon.

-Don't use boiling water

-as it will spoil the honey.

-Honey is often used if a person

-is suffering from a cold...

-..or has a sore throat.

-I'd advise that you use

-a cheaper honey for cooking...

-..whilst you can eat

-the more expensive honey.

-I've made a cake from honey.

-It's very moist.

-Use sugar for crispy biscuits...

-..as honey is too moist

-for the biscuits.

-I enjoy adding honey

-to roasted vegetables.

-It's great with the root vegetables.

-Add a touch of honey and wholegrain

-Honey can be used in an array

-of dressings.

-I enjoy drinking mead.

-Yes, and it was originally

-produced in Wales.

-You can taste the difference

-in the various honeys.

-You can almost smell the flowers

-from where the nectar came.

-You could also buy the honey

-in the combs.

-Buy a honeycomb.

-It's great.

-You can eat it.

-You get to taste the honey and the

-nectar.

-After the break...

-..we reveal the new Yvonne Davies

-following her Prynhawn Da makeover.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Before we reveal the new Yvonne, Huw

-in a practical outfit.

-She had a simple outfit

-as she enjoys walking her dogs.

-I'm delighted with my new look.

-What about the colours?

-I wear these colours often.

-It's very comfortable.

-I love the outfit.

-Take us through Yvonne's outfit.

-It's important

-to combine the textures...

-..with these colours.

-There's a gilet from Limited Edition

-in Marks and Spencer.

-There's also a jumper...

-..that has a collar and cuffs to it.

-Checks and tweed is very popular.

-This fits into Yvonne's busy life.

-What did you do to the hair, Ruth?

-I've taken the hair shorter.

-She wants to grow out the length.

-I haven't added too many layers.

-Do you often do your hair?

-What make-up did you use, Emma?

-I wanted something funky

-to match the outfit and the hair.

-We've got some smoky eyes.

-The smoky eyes are great

-for Christmas too.

-What about that 3 brush?

-Ruth found a pack of ten

-of those brushes for 1.99!

-I liked that tool.

-It stops you from having lines

-on your face.

-Where will you wear this outfit?

-I'll find somewhere

-to wear this outfit.

-I won't wear this to walk the dogs.

-Christmas is on the horizon.

-Yes, so contact us
