-Welcome to 04Wal. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
-We've now reached 2007 -in our trawl through our archives. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
-This programme takes us -to beautiful towns and villages. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
-Each one is different, -as are the houses. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
-We begin in Cowbridge. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
-This is the story of two sisters -who live next door to each other. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
-Ten years ago, -Linda Adams and Hawys Pritchard... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
-..left their commune in London -and moved back to Wales. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
-For the first three years, -they lived together in Linda's home. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
-The cottage next door -then came on the market. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-Now, Hawys lives in Number 9 -and Linda lives in Number 10. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
-We wanted to come home to Wales -and we found a house in Cowbridge. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:15 | |
-We escaped from the commune -in Linda's house in London. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-The commune -had got a bit out of hand. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-We wanted some fun. -We wanted some peace and some fun. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-We lived here for three years, -just the two of us, and we had fun. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
-Yes. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
-Fortunately, the house next door -came on the market. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-We bought it and I moved in there. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
-We wanted to live near the sea... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-..but could only find bungalows -or huge houses. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-We came to Cowbridge -to visit an estate agent's office. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-That's when we realized -what a lovely town this is. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-I thought it was very pretty. -I wanted to live in an old house. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
-I like things that have been used -and that's why I loved this house. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
-It's an 18th century house. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-There were three houses here -originally. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-There's a window -where the third front door stood. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
-They may have been the outbuildings -of a long-gone mansion. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
-I have a 19th century map, -but there's no reference to it. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-I didn't want to have to do -much work on the house. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-I did a lot of work -on the Muswell Hill house. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
-I never want to do that again. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
-I lived in a big house. -Friends lived on the top floor. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
-They came to stay for a month, -while they bought a house. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-Their sale fell through, -so they stayed with me. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-They actually stayed -for around ten years! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-Good grief! | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-Good grief! - -Yes. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
-I've mentioned the people -who lived with me in Muswell Hill. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-Take a look at some of the things -they made for me. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-First, the leek cupboard. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-Tim made the cupboard and Jane, -his partner, painted the leek. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
-Because you were moving to Wales? | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
-Because you were moving to Wales? - -Yes. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
-The table is also a symbol -of their guilty conscience! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
-Yes. Tim also made the mirror. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
-Yes. Tim also made the mirror. - -They're custom-made for this room. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-Yes, that's right. I was lucky. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-Before we came here, -I was nervous about leaving London. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-I wanted to come back to Wales. -England never felt like home to me. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
-I had lived in a house -that was full of people. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-Hawys promised never to leave me -in the rain, in Wales, on my own! | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
-The rest is history. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
-Linda and Hawys -now live in separate buildings... | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-..but only the width of this fence -separates them. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-This is Hawys's house. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
-Hawys Pritchard -lived in Spain for years... | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
-..but she didn't stay away -from her homeland forever. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-She now lives here -with Dick, her partner. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-I lived in Spain long enough -for it to change me. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-Had you asked me 15 years ago... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-..I'd have said it was impossible -for me to come back to Wales. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-We all change, don't we? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-Homesickness kicked in -and we decided to move here. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-I met someone - he's now my partner. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-This house came on the market -and we bought it. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-We've taken over a row of houses! | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-This was a small, dark house. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
-A man had lived here on his own -for many years. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
-This part is new. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-The original house was tiny -and it was really dark. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-We tried to take advantage -of the natural light that comes in. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
-Our lifestyles have changed, -naturally. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-Since we forged -these new living arrangements... | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-..we have respected -each other's privacy over the years. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-It has worked out really well. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-We've decided to build an extension, -to make room for a piano. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
-I'm not sure -how Hawys and Dick will react... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-..to having a grand piano next door! | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-I'm sure we'll discuss it at length -before the plans become a reality. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
-I think the walls are thick enough. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-Huw and Ann Iorwerth bought this -house in Llansteffan 20 years ago... | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-..and filled it with colour and joy. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
-Ann and I -had both been married before. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-Ann moved in with me -in Carmarthen... | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
-..but she and her son, Jake, -always called it "Huw's house." | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-That's why we felt -we should have a home of our own. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-What attracted you to this house? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-What attracted you to this house? - -Unexpected corners. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
-I also love the size of the rooms -and the stunning views. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-I enjoy lying in bed in the morning -and looking out at the sea. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
-The house is always very light. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-When two families come together, -you must combine and integrate. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:07 | |
-We wanted to keep -the furniture that we had... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
-..and the two collections -of paintings we already owned. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-We wanted to be able to enjoy -those paintings in our home. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-What sort of look -did you want to create in the house? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-Paintings are important to me. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
-It's important to find -the right place to hang them. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
-Furniture isn't important to me, -but paintings are very important. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
-The house is almost a gallery. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-The artworks -dictate the style of the decor. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-Yes, and we're aware of the fact -that we mustn't overdo it. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-I hope this house is a home, -not a museum. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-The last thing we want to do -is create a museum. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-I feel totally at home -in this house. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
-It's an idyllic place -to raise children... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-..mainly because -of the nature of the village. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-Having said that, -nothing remains static. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-You must move on -and develop constantly. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
-I first bought paintings -when I was 21 years old. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-I invested the money I received -as birthday presents in paintings. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
-I've kept on buying, but I never -spend huge amounts on a painting. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
-I empty my pockets -at the end of every day... | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-..and save every 50p piece. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-It's amazing! Every two years, -I have enough to buy a painting. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-You'd never guess -that I was in a traditional house... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-..in one of Wales's -most classical villages. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-Welcome to Townsend House -in Beaumaris. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-Marian Thorogood lives here... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
-..with Mark, her husband, -and James, their son. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
-It was split into three flats -when they bought it. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
-For years, Marian and Mark -lived in the first floor flat... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-..before they turned it -into a conventional house. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-The exterior of the house -looks a bit Victorian. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-We wanted to blend the traditional -with modern design. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
-We were keen to add -contemporary touches to the house. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-A friend of mine -lives in Manchester... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-..and she drew up a radical design -for the rear of the house. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
-That changed everything. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-It lets in more natural light. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-We started out with our hearts set -on a contemporary design. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
-This is the lounge -and the dining room. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-At what point -during the planning process... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-..did you decide to combine -the lounge and the dining room? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
-That was the plan from the outset. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-We had lived here, -on the first floor, for 15 years. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-We put the kitchen here too. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
-We knew we would be spending -most of our time here. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
-There are amazing views -from the first floor. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-It was inevitable that we would -want to capitalize on those. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-We tend to live on this floor -from day to day. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
-We feel comfortable -above street level. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
-We can see the sea -and the mountains. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-The dining room -flows naturally into the kitchen. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-A kitchen on the first floor -is part of the revolutionary design. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
-You demolished the rear wall -and replaced it with a glass atrium. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
-Yes. Isn't it great? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-As I said, -my friend came up with this design. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
-We demolished the back of the house. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-It gives us a far better level -of natural light. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-We had small, dark windows... | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-..and the kitchen -was in poor condition. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-We opened it all out -to give a very contemporary space. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
-Will you stay here forever? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-Will you stay here forever? - -Who knows what the future holds? | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-Sometimes, -I yearn to have a garden... | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-..and to enjoy -a greater degree of privacy. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-Having said that, -I think we'd really struggle... | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-..to find somewhere better -than this house. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-We really do enjoy living here. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
-888 | 0:14:27 | 0:14:27 | |
-888 - -888 | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-Welcome back to 2007. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
-We now take urban living -as our theme. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-The two houses we'll visit -certainly fit into that category. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
-Later, we'll meet -Phil and Christine Havard... | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-..but first, the artist -Mary Lloyd Jones in Aberystwyth. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-Moving from a school in Aberbanc -to a semi in Aberystwyth... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:54 | |
-..would be a backward step -for some... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-,,but it has been a step forward -for Mary and her husband, John. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-I never expected to end up -in a suburban house like this... | 0:15:01 | 0:15:07 | |
-..but it's convenient -and serves its purpose very well. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
-As the years went on... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-..we decided that it would be wise -to move to a smaller property. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
-As we get older... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-..it's a good idea to live somewhere -where you can go for walks. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-We came here -as a downsizing exercise... | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-..and it was the right thing to do. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-We had to get rid of many things. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
-We had never thrown anything out! | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
-You've been very disciplined -in the stripping process! | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-It wasn't easy, -I can assure you. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-Making the decisions wasn't easy, -but it came as a relief to us. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
-I enjoy having a certain amount -of traditional furniture. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-It's nice to be surrounded -by history... | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-..and to have new ideas. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
-Where would you have put -this collection of pictures... | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-..if you didn't have this wall? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-When we lived in the former school, -it all fitted on the dresser. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-It was a chaotic dresser! | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
-We then came up with the idea -of creating an interesting wall. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-As it gets overcrowded, -we have to take items away. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-There's a lot of blue here, -as there is in your work. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-The shade of blue behind me -and the green on the door... | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-..were inspired by a trip to India. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-I saw that colour over there -and tried to match it on the door. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-I wanted to have strong colour -in one area of the house. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-It's all instinctive, I think. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
-Why do we choose certain colours? -It's a mystery. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-I certainly get a lot of pleasure -from using clashing colours. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
-It creates something -that is visually exciting. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
-It's certainly exciting. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-All the other walls are white. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
-Must walls be white? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:44 | |
-White creates a good backdrop, -especially if you make alterations. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
-You make a simple decision and you -don't waste time thinking about it. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:59 | |
-Is the house's decor -an extension of your work on canvas? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
-Yes, in a way. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-I think it's important -to be surrounded by things... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-..that are easy on the eye. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-With this house, we had to choose -our furniture very carefully. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
-That's because the house isn't huge. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
-It's easy to fill it, as though -it were some sort of cupboard. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-As soon as we saw the view, -we knew that it was the house for us. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
-We've been here -for nearly 20 years. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-The city has changed dramatically -during that time. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
-Phil and Christine Havard -and their two children... | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
-..can see a chunk of Welsh history -from the windows of their house. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-We can see several buildings -that weren't there when we moved. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
-It isn't an ostentatious house. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-It's an Edwardian, double-fronted, -semi-detached house. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-It may be an ordinary house... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-..but it's also -a beautiful and happy house. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-It has changed drastically -since we've been here. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-It was tidier in the early days! | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
-We had less stuff. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-Welsh furniture is Phil and -Christine's work and passion. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
-The contents of their home -reflects that perfectly. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-In my opinion, -Welsh hand-built furniture... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-..is some of the world's best -hand-built furniture. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-Of course, as this furniture -is made of Welsh wood... | 0:20:15 | 0:20:20 | |
-..particularly Welsh oak... | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-..it's remarkable furniture, -really exceptional furniture. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:31 | |
-I like a variety of wood. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-Welsh craftsmen used all sorts -of wood, whatever was available. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:43 | |
-The house is full of furniture -made of all sorts of wood. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
-The most important thing -is the patina. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-Whatever wood it is, it must have -a good colour and a great patina. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-Patina is the skin on the surface -of a piece of furniture. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-If a piece is old... | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
-..it should have a patina -that reflects its age. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
-A patina with real depth to it -is what appeals to me. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-We rarely see a dresser -without its top half. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-Yes, that's true. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
-A full dresser suits a farmhouse, -but this isn't a farmhouse. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:30 | |
-Some people like the racks, -but I prefer it without. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-Many pieces come from the area -where Phil was brought up. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
-The clock and those samplers, -for example. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-Do you like them? | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
-Do you like them? - -Yes, I've grown to like them. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
-You must understand that no-one -can appreciate items like Phil! | 0:21:48 | 0:21:55 | |
-He's the only expert in the house. -The one and only! | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
-I'm just the one who says, "No!" | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
-I'm just the one who says, "No!" - -Every home needs one of those! | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-What sparked your interest -in collecting old furniture? | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
-I was keen on furniture, -even when I was young. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-I remember my grandmother -had a table similar to that one. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-It had a shaped apron and fretwork -similar to what you see there. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
-I think that's why I started -to take an interest in antiques... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
-..especially in furniture. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-I love these antiques. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
-A piece of wood with a good patina. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
-I always say he'd never leave me -for a fluffy blonde... | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
-..but a dresser with a fret? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
-Ooh! That's a tricky decision. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-Yes, maybe. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
