-..when I started teaching.

-The opportunity arose

-after I finished teaching.

-It was my job to promote the

-Welsh language in Patagonia...

-..in The Welsh Language Project.

-for the three years.

-The original contract

-was for a year.

-Did Patagonia live up to its name?

-The children would sing

-the national anthem.

-one year's old.

-It used to raise

-the hair on the neck.

-They love the culture

-that we have in Wales.

-Age is important.

-What response did you have

-from the children?

-There were different ages

-of children.

-The young children

-are proud of their history.

-Some of the children...

-..don't have any Welsh speaking

-family members.

-There are 1,270 in the

-Welsh classes at the school.

-Ten years ago, there were only 500.

-I was chatting to the people

-in Patagonia last night.

-What are the celebrations

-in Patagonia?

-There will be a concert at

-Bethel Chapel in Patagonia tonight.

-takes up this opportunity?

-anyone to go for it.

-There are 32 local tutors in

-the Welsh language in Patagonia.

-They promote the language and

-are extremely excited about it.

-It's great to hear someone

-speak Welsh...

-..on the other side of the world.

-Today, the list of composers

-for the Can i Gymru was announced.

-The contest takes place on Saturday

-Welcome back.

-March sees the beginning of the

-special Marie Curie daffodil appeal.

-Rachel Moses-Lloyd of the charity

-is here to tell us more about it.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Tell us more about the appeal.

-The appeal has run for 31 years.

-Every year, we try to get the public

-to wear a daffodil.

-This helps them to remember the work

-of Marie Curie nurses...

-..and helps raise money

-for the charity.

-Raising money is a vital part

-of the charity.

-What services do the charity

-offer for the public?

-Mari Curie helps and cares for

-people with all sorts...

-..of terminal conditions.

-There are nine hospices

-across the UK.

-The Welsh hospice is in Penarth.

-Our nurses are also on call

-and visit homes.

-How many nurses do the charity have?

-There are 130 nurses in Wales.

-There are many more through the UK.

-How much money do you

-need to fund one nurse?

-In the UK, it costs 20 a hour

-for nursing care.

-It's over 6,000 to run the hospice.

-More nurses are needed

-to expand the services.

-We also need more nurses

-but that means we need more money.

-The same message is more care.

-Many people make the connection

-between the daffodil...

-..and the Marie Curie Charity.

-There was also a special event

-in Carmarthen earlier.

-The appeal in Wales

-runs between February and March.

-We held a concert in

-Carmarthen this morning.

-as it's there until Sunday.

-who would wander the land.

-David was considered a person

-who would wander the land.

-There were poems in Welsh

-and English.

-There's also David the Reformer.

-Do we need to make more

-of a fuss of St David?

-if he lived today.

-Everyone should read this to find

-out more about him!

-Shakespeare also spoke of him.

-Richard Johnson wrote about the

-famous heroes of Christianity.

-He wrote of the patron saints

-of Northern Europe.

-David was among them...

-..and there's mention of him

-getting married!

-We don't know if this story is true.

-towns and villages.

-One town in West Wales has received

-a special recognition...

-..for the recent developments

-along the high street.

-Cardigan is an old

-historical market town...

-..where the River Teifi

-meets the sea.

-It was a port to the world and home

-to the first National Eisteddfod.

-This town has a lot to boast about,

-including their latest award.

-We received the award from

-the Great British High Street...

-..due to the work undertaken

-by the town partnership.

-The partnership was founded

-around 18 months ago.

-It brought various aspects of the

-town together to create a scheme...

-..to improve the town and

-draw more visitors to the area.

-Over the 18 months, we've created

-a loyalty card for local produce.

-We also created a leaflet

-about the town.

-Visitors to the town will be able

-to see what we have to offer.

-These simple things

-mean a lot to the town.

-There are many independent traders

-in the town, who sell unique goods.

-Let's take a look around.

-The town has 110 shops, that vary

-in goods, from clothes to gifts.

-There's something for everyone.

-Martin Radley of the Queens Bakery

-is one of the traders.

-I haven't been here for the past

-85 years, but the business has been.

-..when the grandparents of Thomas

-James took over Luke's Queen Cafe.

-The community is small and the small

-independent business are important.

-We all work together and

-know each other well.

-The town is developing and we have

-an exciting future ahead of us.

-I've been here for 40 years.

-We started selling meat, but have

-moved on to selling groceries.

-We established the Cardigan Traders.

-The traders on the high street

-can come together...

-..and try and get the business rates

-lowered and we've been successful.

-A lot of events take place

-at the Cardigan Guildhall.

-exhibit their work here.

-Behind the hall is a market where

-local traders sell their goods.

-Catrin from the Crwst baking company

-is one of those traders.

-We brought Crwst to Cardigan

-as we were raised in the area.

-Osian and I are a local couple and

-it felt right to start it here.

-every Thursday and Saturday.

-coming in to the different stores.

-won the award as it's a special.
