-# Yes, it's here

-# It's finally arrived

-# Anything is possible

-# On the big day #

-My name's Megan

-and this is my big day.

-Megan's home is in Llanberis...

-..but she has close ties...

-..with a town

-called Middleburg in Holland.

-I want to show you this.

-This is an atlas,

-a book of the world.

-Here's Britain. Here's Wales.

-I live in North Wales.

-This is a globe.

-It's a picture of the world.

-It's round, like the world.

-This is where we are. This is Wales.

-Before I lived here...

-..I lived in Holland.

-Holland's far away. It's there.

-Wales and Holland are different.

-We speak Welsh and English in Wales.

-Dutch in Holland.

-I can speak Dutch,

-Welsh and English.

-THEY SPEAK DUTCH

-I speak Dutch with Mam...

-..because

-she used to live in Holland.

-When Mam speaks to me,

-she speaks Dutch.

-That's how

-I've learned the language.

-Taid Dutch lives in Holland.

-When I see Taid Dutch,

-I say hello, Opa.

-I like going to visit Opa.

-That will be my big day.

-I'm looking forward to it.

-In the meantime, there are

-plenty of activities to do...

-..such as gymnastics.

-I come to gymnastics

-almost every week.

-It's hard work.

-We start off by warming up.

-Sometimes it hurts.

-When Megan does

-energetic activities like this...

-..she has to keep an eye

-on sugar levels in her blood.

-Megan's body

-has difficulty producing insulin.

-SHE SPEAKS DUTCH

-Mam draws blood.

-I've got diabetes.

-It means that my body

-doesn't produce insulin.

-That isn't good.

-It's supposed to be

-six point something.

-I have to eat sugar.

-Sugar gives us energy.

-Sometimes

-there isn't enough sugar in my body.

-When there isn't enough,

-I eat sugar.

-This is the tablet.

-If there's

-too much sugar in my body...

-..I need insulin.

-Here's the bag.

-And here's the pump.

-When I need insulin

-I push the button.

-The pump gives me insulin.

-The insulin in here

-goes down the tube...

-..to the plaster.

-The plaster's here.

-The day has come

-when Megan, Mam and Merlin...

-..visit Opa in Holland.

-Megan's sad to say goodbye to Dad,

-who's not able to go.

-Soon, Megan feels excited...

-..when she flies from Manchester

-to Holland for her big day.

-We call Taid Opa.

-He's going to be outside.

-Opa!

-And Mama. Where is Mama?

-I'm happy.

-I'm doing cartwheels

-because I'm so happy.

-Opa lives in Middleburg.

-This is Taid's home.

-Mam used to live in this house

-when she was small.

-I like it here

-and I especially like this room.

-Kitchen. Clock.

-Sofa. Chair.

-And I like the sun.

-It's Opa's birthday tomorrow.

-He's old.

-Nain was only 70.

-She's dead.

-I can only come sometimes.

-It's a long way from my house.

-Taid lives alone.

-These are our cases.

-I've brought my party dress.

-It's a black dress with flowers.

-I'm looking forward to the party.

-Opa's good at growing plants.

-I'm wearing Taid's shoes.

-A frog!

-The frog jumped in my shoe!

-Poor frog!

-We're going to school now.

-I thought

-the school was over there then!

-When we lived

-in our old house in Holland...

-..we were right next to the school.

-Since it's a Saturday,

-everyone's come to the school...

-..especially to see Megan today.

-THEY SPEAK DUTCH

-I started here at four.

-I haven't seen my friends

-for two years.

-That's a photo

-of Merlin and me in Llanberis.

-We're wearing our school uniform.

-We don't wear

-school uniform in Holland.

-And what is this?

-And what is this?

-

-Ysgol Dolbadarn.

-Ysgol Dolbadarn.

-I don't remember much

-about this school.

-Ysgol Dolbadarn is very different.

-Megan is shy to begin with...

-..but soon

-they're the best of friends.

-They get along nicely.

-In the afternoon, it's time to visit

-one of Megan's favourite places.

-There's a lot of fun to be had here.

-Hello! We're in the boating place.

-We're at the seaside.

-Cannon!

-It's called the Netherlands...

-..because the land is flat and low.

-That's what Niederlande means.

-Niederlande is Netherlands in Dutch.

-That's the Netherlands' banner.

-This is a dyke.

-A dyke stops the sea

-from coming in...

-..and flooding the land...

-..which is low.

-For someone with diabetes...

-..temptation is all around.

-I like sweets a lot.

-I don't eat them often.

-It's important

-I don't have too much...

-..otherwise

-my sugar level drops too low.

-Today is Opa's birthday party.

-He's 73 years old.

-We've invited lots of people.

-I'm making wrapping paper.

-Opa mustn't see his present.

-We're having the party

-at my old house.

-My uncle lives there now.

-This is Mam's brother.

-The house was different

-when we lived here.

-Preparations take all morning.

-They work as a team.

-I'm going to tie these to the door

-to show that it's Opa's party.

-I think Taid was a little sad...

-..when Nain died.

-But he keeps himself busy.

-We've invited

-about 40 friends and family.

-Opa's friends are all old.

-It's nice to see Opa

-enjoying himself with his friends.

-His friends are very kind to him.

-The family's coming too.

-I know a few of them.

-It's a bit odd.

-Vera is Opa's sister.

-I think she's funny.

-She gave me a huge kiss.

-I've had lots of kisses today.

-I really like parties.

-As with every party,

-there's always lots of food.

-It's important to keep an eye

-on Megan's sugar levels.

-I'm two point six.

-I'm giving this to Opa.

-What is that now?

-SPEAKS DUTCH

-HAPPY BRITHDAY IN DUTCH

-Opa gets a surprise.

-The birthday cake.

-There's a photo of me,

-Ivan and Merlin on the front.

-Megan...

-..Merlin and Ivan.

-We can eat the photo.

-SPEAKS DUTCH

-Welsh.

-She said

-she doesn't understand Welsh.

-What a party!

-There's no end to the presents.

-Happy birthday, Opa.

-My big day has been great.

-THEY SPEAK DUTCH

-I think it's been a big day for Opa.
