-# Yes, it's here

-# It's finally arrived

-# Anything is possible

-# On the big day #

-My name's Lucy

-and this is my big day.

-Lucy lives with her family

-on a little farm...

-..above the Banw Valley

-in Montgomeryshire.

-The family moved here from England

-a few years ago.

-She lives with Mam, Dad and Edward.

-Nain and Taid live next door,

-just across the farmyard.

-They keep animals, including these

-interesting and different sheep.

-These are the Jacob sheep.

-Jacob sheep have spots.

-They also have horns...

-..even the female sheep.

-Their wool is very thick.

-I'm feeding hay to the sheep.

-They like hay.

-They're all different ages.

-Some are going to have lambs soon.

-The ones with red tags

-on their ears.

-My school is over there.

-We climb this mountain often because

-you can see for miles around.

-These are all female sheep.

-They are Banw sheep.

-The males are over there.

-Come and see the rams.

-The rams are in another field

-at the other end of the farm.

-They share the field with moles.

-Moles live underground.

-When they dig up,

-they create molehills in the fields.

-They make quite a mess.

-They make quite a mess.

-

-Moles made this mess.

-They cover the field.

-Here are the rams -

-the boys are coming to say hello!

-This is our oldest ram.

-His name is Luma.

-We know they're rams

-because their horns are different.

-Hello.

-We have seven cows

-and lots of sheep.

-Lucy makes things out of the wool.

-Interesting things.

-You can make...

-..a snowman...

-..or you can make butterflies.

-All kinds of things.

-This pretty butterfly was made

-by a process called felting.

-When you felt wool,

-it sticks together.

-It takes a long time.

-The needle is sharp.

-You must take great care.

-Felting is to pick the wool with

-a needle until a shape is created.

-Then you can make something

-like this.

-This is a hedgehog.

-It's eating an apple.

-We make rugs from the sheep's skin.

-It's difficult to make.

-The Llyn Peninsula.

-There's a shop on the coast

-called Cwt Tatws.

-Daloni Metcalfe runs the shop.

-Lucy contacted Cwt Tatws to ask

-if we would sell her sheepskin rugs.

-Rugs made from the Jacob sheep wool

-are very thick.

-They're very soft

-and they're black, brown and white.

-Each one is natural and different.

-That makes them even more special.

-You'll never have

-two identical rugs.

-Daloni sounds keen to see the rugs

-but how does Lucy make them?

-She works closely with Nain.

-Nain's scraping the skin.

-She's scraping all the fat away.

-All lot of salt

-is also scraped away.

-The salt preserves the skin.

-This is hard work, Lucy.

-Pull it tight, please.

-When the skin is clean

-and the fat has been removed...

-..Lucy cleans it

-with a special liquid.

-This process is called tanning.

-I have to brush this liquid

-over all the skin.

-This turns the skin into leather.

-If I didn't do this,

-the leather would smell!

-Good job, Lucy.

-Next, some fun with a hosepipe.

-Cleaning the skin.

-I've filled the bath

-with cold water.

-I'm going to wash the skin.

-It doesn't need to be full.

-This is a bath for the skin,

-not for me.

-The water's cold.

-Mam and Nain are doing this.

-They're washing the skin.

-There's some poo on it.

-# Visit Llyn y Felin

-# And you'll meet Wil Cwac Cwac... #

-It's almost time

-for the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Everyone's busy in the Banw Valley.

-I'm going to recite, sing...

-..sing in the choir and I'm

-also going to do the folk dancing.

-Folk dancing is nice, nice dancing.

-When I'm folk dancing,

-Edward and I aren't friends.

-We're brother and sister!

-We speak Welsh in school.

-I speak Welsh to my friends.

-I speak English to Mam and Dad -

-they can't speak Welsh.

-I speak Welsh to Edward

-but we speak English at home.

-If I don't want Mam and Dad to know,

-I speak Welsh to Edward!

-Nain speaks a little Welsh.

-She went to a Welsh boarding school.

-"Tiger In The Kitchen.

-"She's a tiger in the kitchen,

-she's a lion in the bedroom.

-"In the garden she's agile,

-indoors she's fat!"

-I'm reciting Tiger In The Kitchen.

-It's about a tiger in the kitchen.

-When it's indoors, it's fat.

-"Yes, Modlen the cat

-is a tiger in the kitchen."

-Eisteddfod or not, Lucy carries on

-working on the Jacob sheep rugs...

-..before taking them to be sold.

-This is the comb.

-This is what I do with it.

-It fluffs up the wool.

-This is harder wool.

-You can now see the pattern

-on the rug.

-We sell them to people we know

-and people who want them.

-We haven't sold many yet.

-The next time you see these,

-they'll be for sale.

-Lucy and her family rear Jacob sheep

-on their farm in Mid Wales.

-They do many things with the wool.

-The skin is treated by Lucy and Nain

-and then they are sold.

-On her big day, Lucy will take rugs

-to a shop on the Llyn Peninsula.

-Today, I've brought the rugs

-to show Daloni, Daloni has a shop.

-She sells nice things in her shop.

-I think the rugs will look nice

-in the shop.

-I don't know

-if Daloni will like them.

-I hope she does.

-We have phoned her.

-She says she's happy

-to look at the rugs.

-This makes me feel happy.

-Daloni's shop is very nice.

-It's in an old stable on the farm.

-There are bags, pictures...

-..clocks, chairs...

-..and cushions.

-I've brought three rugs.

-I hope Daloni likes them.

-Has she got customers?

-Here she is.

-Hello, who are you?

-Hello, who are you?

-

-Lucy.

-What are those?

-What are those?

-

-Rugs.

-Are they special rugs?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-From which sheep?

-Jacob.

-Jacob.

-

-Can I see them?

-We'll take them out in the sunshine.

-We'll take them out in the sunshine.

-

-Good idea.

-We'll taken them over to the table.

-Can we open them all up? Yes?

-Do you want to open one?

-I'll open these.

-Thanks, Mam.

-Here's one.

-This is nice.

-And soft.

-The second one.

-Are you ready with the third?

-These are lovely, Lucy.

-Can you tell me more

-about these rugs, Lucy?

-We bath the wool first.

-Yes?

-We wash them because they're dirty.

-Then we scrape

-all the hard skin away.

-Did you paint the skin?

-Did you paint the skin?

-

-We painted a blue tan on them.

-That makes this side nice and white.

-What was the final part?

-Another bath!

-Another bath!

-

-Another one? They're very clean.

-D'you know what?

-They smell nice and clean.

-Do you like the smell?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-I've an important question for you.

-Will you let me sell your rugs

-in Cwt Tatws, please?

-OK.

-Would that be OK with you?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-I'd love to sell...

-..Lucy's Jacob rugs in Cwt Tatws.

-I think they're excellent.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-You're welcome.

-Daloni likes my rugs.

-They'll be sold in the shop.

-Daloni has cow skin

-and goatskin rugs in the shop.

-There aren't many

-sheepskin rugs here.

-Our Jacob skins will fit in nicely.
