0:00:02 > 0:00:04The Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

0:00:04 > 0:00:08For 186 miles it winds its way through secret coves,

0:00:08 > 0:00:12past majestic beaches and over awe-inspiring cliffs.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16It regenerates our batteries.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19You can get out of the rat race and you can just walk.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22God's own country here. I'm very lucky.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Even on a winter day, when it is cold and miserable,

0:00:25 > 0:00:26this still looks beautiful.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Throughout the hot summer of 2013

0:00:29 > 0:00:31we've followed the lives of the locals

0:00:31 > 0:00:34who live, work and play in the Welsh paradise.

0:00:36 > 0:00:37She is doing fine.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39That is the first lobster we have seen.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Thank you!

0:00:42 > 0:00:46This is their summer. This is their story.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59Coming up - a local legend celebrates a special birthday...

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I haven't drank much, have I?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05..a business is at risk from the sea...

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Might be a floating ice cream van!

0:01:07 > 0:01:11..and a pigeon race becomes a pigeon battle!

0:01:29 > 0:01:34The hot summer of 2013 has brought the coastal path into bloom.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Up north in the tiny hamlet of Llanwnda

0:01:40 > 0:01:45it's been a peaceful start to the season for the Knapp-Fishers

0:01:45 > 0:01:48and their informal stop-off for walkers, The Fairy Cafe.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55But the tranquillity is about to be shattered.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Sculptor and recycling guru Buzz Knapp-Fisher is busy

0:02:04 > 0:02:06erecting his latest invention.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Wow! That is brilliant!

0:02:17 > 0:02:22Yes, because we have had the cafe, we have two questions, basically.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26The first question is, "Where is the coast path?"

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Which is sort of in that direction. That is quite an easy one.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32The second question is, "Have you got a toilet?"

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Especially if they have just had a cup of tea.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37And the answer is, "No, we haven't."

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Local planning laws dictate that Buzz can't have a

0:02:40 > 0:02:42permanent toilet outside, but, ever inventive,

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Buzz has come up with a way around this.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48So here is the toilet, which is on wheels.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51We can then move it around the village.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53So we can park it in various locations.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57And because of the long picture window, here,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00which is made from a Ford Escort Mk I window,

0:03:00 > 0:03:03we are sort of thinking, perhaps, loo with a view.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07The thing about when you re-use stuff,

0:03:07 > 0:03:11things don't always fit the way you would like them to fit.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15So then you spend a lot of time adjusting it.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Just, literally, spontaneously putting things together,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21seeing how it works.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25It will have a compost toilet,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28which we will be using to collect waste for methane.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34There is the ventilation system. So, here is the battery.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36And we thought we would have a two-speed switch.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39So we've got, one, that is the fan going there.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46And then number two, is the faster fan, which extracts the air quicker.

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Then, what we thought we would do is we would have smelly or very smelly.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03If it is very quiet and there is nobody about,

0:04:03 > 0:04:06we have actually got an outside toilet,

0:04:06 > 0:04:08which we're building at the moment, or I am building.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11It will have a bucket in here, so it will be pretty simple.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12That closes over, that closes up.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16So, for fun, more than anything else,

0:04:16 > 0:04:20you can then open that and then, sit, out in the open.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23How many will use that? I am not actually certain!

0:04:24 > 0:04:27No time to sit around and enjoy the view though.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30As Buzz continues his build,

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Park Warden Ozzy Duffy-Morris is also hard at work

0:04:33 > 0:04:35as part of the dedicated team

0:04:35 > 0:04:39that maintain the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42I mustn't bend this saw now. They cost a lot of money!

0:04:43 > 0:04:50But today, Ozzy has more than work on his mind. Pigeons!

0:04:51 > 0:04:54As with every Friday night, Ozzy is off to Milford Haven FC

0:04:54 > 0:04:58to meet up with the rest of his pigeon racing mates -

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Ditchy, Boggle and Ferret.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Yes, it seems that a good nickname is essential

0:05:05 > 0:05:06to being a top pigeon racer.

0:05:06 > 0:05:11He is good on old birds. We were good on young birds, last season.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14But he is having a better season, this season, on young birds.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Tomorrow, the boys will send their young birds

0:05:17 > 0:05:21into their first big race and everyone wants to bag a win.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23It is usually pigeons on a Friday night.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26And we usually leave here about 3am in the morning!

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- We'll talk at the top of my street for half an hour.- Where did he go?

0:05:29 > 0:05:32He slept in the shed. He had carpet wrapped around him...

0:05:32 > 0:05:36before a race, last year.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40The next morning, and Ozzy, Ditchy, Boggle

0:05:40 > 0:05:44and Ferret are at the Milford Haven Pigeon Racers HQ.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46This is the marking station.

0:05:46 > 0:05:52- They register in those booths for this race.- Cook. 99. 115.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Each bird has been lovingly hand-reared and now,

0:05:55 > 0:05:59at just six months old, they are ready to compete.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02But with a price tag of around £40 for a good racing bird

0:06:02 > 0:06:07and reputation at stake, the rivalry between Boggle and Ozzy is fierce.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- These are Boggle's.- Just be careful the fleas don't bite!

0:06:14 > 0:06:20- You're not supposed to handle your own birds, are you?- He cheats!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Keep an eye on him! He is a bit shifty!

0:06:24 > 0:06:27The entries are in and Ozzy and Boggle

0:06:27 > 0:06:29decide to have a little flutter of their own.

0:06:31 > 0:06:37- I am 108. See that bird fly!- Number? 50.- There you go. Now then, boys.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38Money, and all honours.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40All bets are on!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43May the worst man win!

0:06:44 > 0:06:47The lorry arrives to take the birds to the race start

0:06:47 > 0:06:50124 miles away in England.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55This will be the first time that the Milford Racers' young birds

0:06:55 > 0:06:59have crossed the border, and some may not make it home.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Crucial race, this. Very crucial race.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Can be an awful race, the first race.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09It was only 86 miles, we lost a lot of birds.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13So I am hoping for everybody to return, especially myself, like.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19There we are, boys. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24See you tomorrow. I hope!

0:07:26 > 0:07:30With its beautiful lily ponds, the tiny village of Bosherston

0:07:30 > 0:07:34is a honey pot for walkers and holidaymakers.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36But the scenery isn't the only attraction.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Here you'll find a local legend.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Here's your tea for four.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46For over 60 years, Vai Weston, or Auntie Vai as she is known,

0:07:46 > 0:07:49has run Ye Olde Worlde Cafe in Bosherston.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Nearly had a fall on my bottom then!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00This is my husband's grandad,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03who had an MBE for his work in the War Office.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07He was a Londoner, you know? I didn't hold it against him!

0:08:07 > 0:08:11That is my brother. He was lovely. That was taken in America,

0:08:11 > 0:08:14when he was training to be a Spitfire pilot.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17That was when I went to the Palace. That is my medal.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Not everybody can say that, can they?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Customers say to me, "Why did you have your MBE?"

0:08:24 > 0:08:26I said, "For chatting so much!"

0:08:28 > 0:08:32In just a few days' time, Auntie Vai will celebrate

0:08:32 > 0:08:33her 92nd birthday.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38But for now, there are hundreds of hungry holidaymakers to feed.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Cheese on toast. That is our big seller.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Isn't it nice, to see the sunshine?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50This is what I call the pavilion.

0:08:50 > 0:08:55That cost my father and mother £40 in 1932.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57It reminds me of a cricket pavilion

0:08:57 > 0:09:02when you're having tea, you know, at half-time?

0:09:02 > 0:09:07That's £1 and £1.70. £2.70, please.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Are you enjoying this nice day?- Yes!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Over the years, Auntie Vai's cafe and small shop

0:09:13 > 0:09:15have attracted many famous visitors.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20Russell Crowe came, you know? He was filming at Freshwater West

0:09:20 > 0:09:24and he had chosen five packets of Rowntree's pastilles.

0:09:24 > 0:09:30He gave a £2 coin, and I pushed back over the counter £1.50.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33And he said, "Oh, put that for your charity, as well."

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Wasn't that good of him?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42One green tea, one milky coffee.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46I've been doing this all my life.

0:09:46 > 0:09:4953 years with my husband, and ten years after he died,

0:09:49 > 0:09:52and 20 years before that helping my mother.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00For generations, Auntie Vai has been employing the local girls

0:10:00 > 0:10:03to help serve hungry tourists.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05But they have to match up to Vai's high standards.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'm not very fond of very low-cut things

0:10:11 > 0:10:14cos I always think, for the older customer,

0:10:14 > 0:10:17they might not like anything falling out.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25In the north of the county, near Strumble Head,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Pembrokeshire National Park ranger Ian Meopham is busy at work.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33The park looks after about 800 miles of path.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's a phenomenal amount of footpaths and bridle ways

0:10:36 > 0:10:39and coast paths to look after, and...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41it does need ongoing management, so...

0:10:44 > 0:10:45..it's a bit of a non-stop job.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Just when you think you've got it all sorted out...

0:10:49 > 0:10:51..another bit of coast path falls away,

0:10:51 > 0:10:55or a stile falls apart, or whatever, and off you go again.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Post in place, it's time for Ian's next mission -

0:11:01 > 0:11:05to take the Monday Club on a trip to Abereiddy Beach.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07You're going to back up that way.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09- I'm not going that way. - Yes, you are. Go. Get up there.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- No, I'm not.- No, no, no, no.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Famous for its blue lagoon

0:11:13 > 0:11:17and the quarry community that dug it 100 years ago.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20And some of the Monday Club have direct links

0:11:20 > 0:11:22to the area's quarrying past.

0:11:24 > 0:11:30My grandmother brought her children up here, number four, and...

0:11:30 > 0:11:34then a flood came in and they all had to leave the street.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36A storm from the sea.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42That was in 1938, but now history could be about to repeat itself.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46The sea has reclaimed most of the retaining wall

0:11:46 > 0:11:49and is rapidly changing the landscape at Abereiddy.

0:11:50 > 0:11:55The county council are going to re-use those rocks to rebuild

0:11:55 > 0:11:59a sea wall, just to protect that end of the car park,

0:11:59 > 0:12:04but all of this area here is going to be allowed to wash back.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Quite a lot of this is going to disappear.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13And one local stands to lose more than just the car park.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Businesswoman Rachel Jenkins is on her way down to Abereiddy to

0:12:19 > 0:12:20sell ice creams from her van.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Double cone with a flake. Strawberries. Yep, coming up.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31We've run this business here, the ice cream business,

0:12:31 > 0:12:33for the last 11 years and it's absolutely brilliant.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37You get in the ice cream van, you drive along,

0:12:37 > 0:12:38and people just smile at you.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Look!- Check that out.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Rachel's family own a lot of the surrounding land,

0:12:47 > 0:12:50including the majority of the beach car park.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I've really gained a close connection with Abereiddy.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57It's quite amazing. A lot of people are so passionate about down here

0:12:57 > 0:13:02because they've got so many memories that are connected with here.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07But now, with the sea retaining wall reduced,

0:13:07 > 0:13:11her ice cream van and livelihood are at risk.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17There are some interesting challenges that this

0:13:17 > 0:13:18county is going to be facing.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21There are parts of Pembrokeshire which will not

0:13:21 > 0:13:26exist in years to come, and these are populated areas.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27So I don't know what the longevity

0:13:27 > 0:13:31of this business is going to be. It might be a floating ice cream van!

0:13:31 > 0:13:34She's been a star, really,

0:13:34 > 0:13:36because she's so directly affected.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38I mean, the bigger the car park is here,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40the more sustainable her business is,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43and the car park is disappearing.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45You hear a lot about global warming and climate change

0:13:45 > 0:13:47and all of that kind of stuff,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49and this where it's happening for real, I suppose.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Current estimates are that sea levels are going to

0:13:52 > 0:13:55rise by about half a metre in the next 100 years

0:13:55 > 0:13:58and that's kind of a conservative estimate.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01If you are living in somewhere like Cardiff...

0:14:01 > 0:14:03then you do really need to be thinking, don't you?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Cos you're not very far above sea level now

0:14:06 > 0:14:09and there are hundreds of thousands of homes there to protect.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11So... Yeah.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's not just the Pembrokeshire coast or the coast path that

0:14:14 > 0:14:17we're going to have to be thinking about.

0:14:35 > 0:14:40Back in Llanwnda, and Buzz is making progress on his loo with a view.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45Time to insert the second of the two inside composting eco toilets.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47We use a bucket at home.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Although, actually, I have to say, this one came from a skip.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54That's not poo. That is rust from metal that was in there,

0:14:54 > 0:14:57just in case anybody was thinking.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Seriously, I just love doing it cos it is the future.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02If we have a future, it's going to be down to...

0:15:02 > 0:15:06Rather than getting waylaid by fame, fortune and money,

0:15:06 > 0:15:09we're just guardians of a beautiful planet

0:15:09 > 0:15:11and we're going to pass it on, but in better nick

0:15:11 > 0:15:13and better state of health than we found it,

0:15:13 > 0:15:15which we're not doing at the moment.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18And I think that is something which needs to be changed,

0:15:18 > 0:15:19and I think it will be changed,

0:15:19 > 0:15:21and I think we've got the intelligence to do it.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23But it's a learning curve,

0:15:23 > 0:15:28which starts with things like this, I suppose.

0:15:28 > 0:15:33Every inch of Buzz's new creation is made with recycled materials,

0:15:33 > 0:15:35even down to the nails.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Nothing goes to waste.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Absolutely nothing.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Newspaper's brilliant.

0:15:41 > 0:15:48Poo on it, wrap it and then you would tip it out into a composter.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Then just rinse the bucket out with vinegar...

0:15:51 > 0:15:56and lemon juice to make it smell nice and that's it.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Simple as that.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00I just love pooing on Margaret Thatcher, personally.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Especially with so many articles about her, I thought, "Ah."

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Or Boris Johnson.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Or Tony Blair - another one it's always nice to poo on.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I think I may have to rush up to the house.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24It's proving to be a busy summer for the James family.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Dad Les...

0:16:27 > 0:16:28mum Cath...

0:16:28 > 0:16:30daughter Nat...

0:16:30 > 0:16:32fiance Dan...

0:16:32 > 0:16:34and their little ones Evan and Annie-Mary.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Happy little girlie.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Together they run the farm, a charity, Farms For City Children,

0:16:40 > 0:16:42in Treginnis near St David's.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46OK. Ready? Let's get back to the gun shed then.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49A school from Fulham in London has arrived for a chance to escape

0:16:49 > 0:16:54the city and experience life in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside

0:16:54 > 0:16:55as real farmers.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58# Look at me

0:16:58 > 0:17:02# I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree... #

0:17:02 > 0:17:05The countryside in Wales is so beautiful.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06It's unbelievable.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Lots of school children haven't got grass. They've got concrete,

0:17:10 > 0:17:13so when they go round there they think it's Wembley.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17Should we pull him hard? But he looks like he'll get angry!

0:17:21 > 0:17:24They're going to be milked at six o'clock tonight.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28But Nat has more on her mind than feeding the animals.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32In just three weeks, she's getting married to fiance Dan.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37She's found the wedding dress of her dreams

0:17:37 > 0:17:40and today, she's off to get it fitted.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Sister Mel has come down from Cardiff for the occasion.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47But Nat has had a last minute change of plan.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Yeah, if that's OK?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51She went to a wedding at the weekend

0:17:51 > 0:17:54and the girl's dress was a beautiful lace up.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57If you want to go with lace up, that's not a problem.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59- So that would be all right? - Yeah, we can do that. Yeah.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Are we cutting it fine for you? - No, it's fine.- Say no.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05ALL LAUGH

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Did you get those shoes? - Yeah.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Are we going to be blinging them up?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Yeah.- I've got pink diamantes,

0:18:11 > 0:18:14which my friend is going to write "Mrs C" on the end there.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- So, they will go with the dress. - They'll be fine.- Eventually.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- You excited?- Yeah.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Panicking!

0:18:21 > 0:18:23ALL LAUGH

0:18:24 > 0:18:27As the girls get to grips with finalising the dress design,

0:18:27 > 0:18:31across town, Dan and the boys have arrived to get suited and booted.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Breathe in or breathe out? - Just relax.- OK.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42ALL LAUGH

0:18:42 > 0:18:49But a summer of good Pembrokeshire living is causing a few problems.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50A bit tight, is it?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53There's no Tom Cruises here, is there?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Do I look...?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00LAUGHTER

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Back with the girls, and the lace up V non-lace up dilemma

0:19:07 > 0:19:08has been resolved.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Time to reveal the dream dress.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Oh, yeah. That is absolutely fabulous.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19ALL LAUGH/SHE SOBS

0:19:19 > 0:19:22- What's happened to you, Mum? - I know!

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Bunch of idiots.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Yeah. That's fab. That is fab.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Oh, yeah, that is absolutely fabulous.

0:19:32 > 0:19:37And I can tell by her face she is happy as Larry with this lace up.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Yeah, definitely.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43And...like I say, if she's happy, I'm happy now.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46So, now all Nat has to worry about is walking up the aisle.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50ALL LAUGH

0:19:50 > 0:19:53I think you need to practise walking, girl.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56- You look like you're constipated. - SHE SNORTS

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Ooh!

0:19:59 > 0:20:03But the worst thing is, I'm so clumsy.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'll fall over or something stupid like that.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10You've got to go up a load of steps.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- I can just see me...- You'll be fine. You'll be fine.- Oh, no!

0:20:17 > 0:20:22It's 7.15am and race day has arrived for Ozzy and Ditchy.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25They've had word that the pigeons have been

0:20:25 > 0:20:27released from the race start in England.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Now the waiting game begins.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Where's them birds now, Alfie?

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Where's them birds? Where's the birds?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Just six months after being hatched, Ozzy

0:20:42 > 0:20:46and Ditchy's young birds will have to miraculously find

0:20:46 > 0:20:51their way from the start 124 miles away, straight back to Ozzy's garden

0:20:51 > 0:20:52in Milford Haven.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56A load of people say it's magnetic field...

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Obviously the homing instinct.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04They've got a compass in their head.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07They go by the polar things and...

0:21:07 > 0:21:09the sun.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Even the tidal things.

0:21:11 > 0:21:17People reckon they travel the roads to...the M4...

0:21:17 > 0:21:20but... They've tried... Nobody knows.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's just a homing instinct.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Pigeons are a bit special to me, like, and especially now with racing

0:21:27 > 0:21:30when you think they travel X amount of miles just to come in this

0:21:30 > 0:21:32garden is unbelievable.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's a nervous time for Ozzy.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38How can I put it? It's...

0:21:38 > 0:21:40It's like butterflies in your stomach, like.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44I drink a lot of coffee, I do, as well.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47So, I've had two cups all ready this morning.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51It's about ten o'clock now. Quarter past seven they were liberated.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Quarter past seven, quarter past eight, quarter past nine...

0:21:54 > 0:21:57That's two and three quarter hours, isn't it?

0:21:57 > 0:22:00I would be expecting to see these birds very shortly.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Just a few doors away, Ozzy's racing rival Boggle is also out

0:22:09 > 0:22:13watching and waiting for his birds to come home.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'm very nervous.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'll be down there in a second,

0:22:17 > 0:22:18if he comes.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21Sometimes you can wait all day.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24It isn't very often you get them all home.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28I had a bird reported last week in Exeter.

0:22:28 > 0:22:29It's still there.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36But in Buzz's garden, something has been spotted.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39HE WHISTLES

0:22:39 > 0:22:41They'll be for Boggle, by the looks of it,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43or it could be one for us. HE WHISTLES

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Now they have to lure the birds back into the coop.

0:22:46 > 0:22:51Come on then. Five past ten. We weren't far off then.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52We said ten o'clock.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55He's a bit nervous.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Come on. Come on.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Come on.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04HE WHISTLES

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Come on, then. Come on, then.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16That's a good 'un, innit? Wants to go in the house.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18A bit confused, I think.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22I just wonder if that's ours.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24There was me trying to get it in.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Damn!

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Blast.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35As the lost pigeon attempts to find its way home,

0:23:35 > 0:23:38finally Ozzy and Ditchy's waiting game is over

0:23:38 > 0:23:40and his first bird clocks in.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48It's been a busy start to the summer for Auntie Vi

0:23:48 > 0:23:52and her team of girls at Ye Olde Worlde Cafe in Bosherston.

0:23:52 > 0:23:58But today, serving the customers is on hold for a very special occasion.

0:23:58 > 0:24:03It's Auntie Vi's 92nd birthday and she plans to celebrate in style.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Looking gorgeous.- Oh, thank you.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15- Auntie Vi, here's the postman. - How you doing? Happy birthday.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I don't always get kissed by the postman.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah, we can't do this every day.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Oh! This is wonderful.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Are we going to have a glass of something now?

0:24:24 > 0:24:25Would you like a glass of sherry?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28No, I'd like a glass of bubbly.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Oh, there you are then.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Whoo!- Only for special occasions.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Happy birthday, Auntie Vi. 92!

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- 92!- Cheers!- Cheers!- Cheers!

0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Oh!- That is lovely!

0:24:44 > 0:24:45That is gorgeous!

0:24:47 > 0:24:48Smells nice.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51This is my one and only glass. This is all I'll have.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55I'm not a great one for intoxicants.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'd rather a cup of tea, actually.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07I had it about there two hours ago.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12# Happy birthday to you... #

0:25:12 > 0:25:16One of Vi's ex-waitresses has made a birthday cake in honour of Vi's

0:25:16 > 0:25:21favourite place in Bosherston - St Michael & All Angels Church.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24That's beautiful. Thank you so much.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26- You're welcome.- Wonderful.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28We won't give you the bumps, Auntie Vi.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29LAUGHTER

0:25:38 > 0:25:40I haven't drank much, have I?

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Boggle is holding fort at the con club in Milford.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55It's time for the pigeon racers to gather

0:25:55 > 0:25:57and get the results from today's big race.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05With the wager riding on whose bird comes home first,

0:26:05 > 0:26:08it's an anxious wait for Ozzy, Boggle and the boys.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Could be good, could be bad. I don't know anybody's time at all.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Nobody knows anybody's time but their own.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17So it's all down to that computer now.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Nervous time now.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28While Ferret takes it all in his stride, Boggle is feeling confident.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31I think it'll be Duffy.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34I never seen anything go down there before me anyway.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I had my eye open down there.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40As Boggle contemplates his imminent victory,

0:26:40 > 0:26:43he leaves Ferret in charge of capturing the timing printout

0:26:43 > 0:26:44from his race clock.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47The results are in.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52In first place - Jamie Jenkins.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Neither Ozzy or Boggle have taken the race win.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Duffy Morris was eighth.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02I am quite pleased with that.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05There's only six minutes in between the winning birds.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Very pleased with that.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Ozzy wins the wager,

0:27:10 > 0:27:14but that isn't the only bad news for Paul Boswell AKA Boggle.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19We've opened Paul Boswell's clock and we haven't got a printout for it.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21So you've got to get the clocks back out and see

0:27:21 > 0:27:23if you can print them off.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27While opening the clock, Boggle's timing has been accidentally wiped.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32They won't do it now, cos they've been opened.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35And with no way of recording his bird's times

0:27:35 > 0:27:36it's all over for Boggle.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39There's no such thing as 25 o'clock.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42They've been null and void. They've been disqualified.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43- BLEEP- it, Ferret.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Scandalous!

0:27:50 > 0:27:52We've lost it by default.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55He walked out to have a fag.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58His fag was more important than getting the results for his bird.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03I resigned. I resign from the club.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07That's my last race.

0:28:10 > 0:28:15He's gutted. He's gutted, but give him an hour or two and he'll...

0:28:15 > 0:28:18As they say, like, rash thinking...

0:28:18 > 0:28:19He'll come round, like.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Put on 161 mile next week, so that's what we like.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Watch this space, is it? - Watch this space.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30Next time...

0:28:32 > 0:28:34..two Pembrokeshire rivals fight it out

0:28:34 > 0:28:36in the biggest race of the year...

0:28:36 > 0:28:38I shouldn't even be bloody speaking to you!

0:28:38 > 0:28:40..Nat says goodbye to unmarried life...

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Oh, my God!

0:28:43 > 0:28:46..and the whole of Fishguard get knitting.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'm struggling a bit, you know?

0:28:48 > 0:28:50I did actually knit a scarf when I was ill in bed

0:28:50 > 0:28:52when I was a very young little boy.
