0:00:15 > 0:00:19- January 2016
0:00:20 > 0:00:24- What an interesting area - - I'm visiting Pentre Ty-gwyn...
0:00:24 > 0:00:28- ..not far from Llandovery, - in Carmarthenshire.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- And just on the other side - of the hill...
0:00:31 > 0:00:36- ..you'll find the former home - of William Williams Pantycelyn.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- I'm here to meet a young man - who's working in his home area.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- He was determined to stay - and make a living...
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- ..by fencing and hedge laying, - just like the craftsmen of old.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Such skills are sorely needed.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- His name is Eirian Morgan.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- EIRIAN MORGAN - Llandovery
0:01:00 > 0:01:05- Eirian and his family live - in Trecastle, near Sennybridge.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10- His work covers a wide area, - from Llandeilo to Brecon.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- He spends a lot of his time...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- ..travelling - along narrow rural roads.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Laying hedges - is Eirian's speciality...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- ..a difficult craft to learn, - but he has the ability.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- That's good work.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45- Is this the Breconshire style?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Is this the Breconshire style?- - Yes, this is the Breconshire style.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- My uncle and I - laid this hedge last week.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- My uncle has a lot of experience.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- He fancied working with me on this - hedge, so we did it together.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00- How long did it take?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- We took about a day and a morning.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Yes, that's right.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- How do you determine your fee?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- We charge per metre.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- We charge extra for poles, - since we have to pay for those.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- It's good work.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- It's beside the road, everyone - can see it, so it's a good advert.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Have you ever taken part - in hedge laying competitions?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30- No, not really.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- When I started fencing, I wasn't - at all interested in laying hedges.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- But more and more - hedge laying jobs came up...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- ..and I had to answer the demand.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- This one shows skill.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47- Yes, it's good.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Currently, a hedge needs laying...
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- ..along the lane - leading to Aberpedwar Farm...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- ..near Pentre Ty-gwyn.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Helping Eirian today - is another local man, Carwyn Dyer.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- Things are going well, Eirian.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Things are going well, Eirian.- - Yes, it's good.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Are you asked to do - a lot of hedge laying?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16- Not so much, nowadays.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- But it keeps us going in winter.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- This area - Trecastle, - Llandovery, Breconshire...
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- ..has its own style of hedge laying, - and it's still popular.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30- Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- A few years ago...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- ..there was more demand - because of the Tir Gofal scheme.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Demand has fallen in recent years.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- But now, with the Glastir scheme, - there's been a resurgence.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- How did you begin to do this work?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Did you have farming ambitions - after leaving school?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- My father worked as a contractor...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- ..carrying out work such as - ploughing and spreading lime...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- ..and I got into fencing - as winter work.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- I worked for various contractors.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- When one contractor packed up, - I was offered the work...
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- ..so I took a bank loan - to buy kit for the job.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I've been self-employed - for almost ten years.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- I think it proves...
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- ..how heartbreaking it is - for people raised in rural areas...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- ..and for people - who are involved in farming...
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- ..to hear others say, - "There's nothing for us to do."
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- You have to look for things to do.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- There's plenty to do.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- If you're willing to work, - there's plenty to do.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- That's my opinion.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- We lay hedges and erect fences - throughout winter.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- In summer, people can hire me - as a tractor driver.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Or farmers hire me - to carry out concreting.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I'm available for that type of work.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- This looks very neat, Carwyn.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Well, it's coming along.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- There's a lot of work involved.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- There's some trimming to do, - now that we've finished pegging.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- You're also a farmer.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Yes, I have a farm.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- I also work two or three days - a week in town, at GT & E Feeds...
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- ..I help out.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- Well done.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27- You have eggs in several baskets.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- You have eggs in several baskets.- - That's right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Jack of all trades, master of none!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- I'd say you're doing a good job.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- It's good to watch you at work.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Rural crafts are often overlooked.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Yes, they're dying out.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- I know that this - is just an old hedge...
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- ..but it provides shelter - in a field for young lambs.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- A stone wall or a hedge - provides vital shelter.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Yes, that's right.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Eirian is still hammering away.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- I'll leave the hard work to him - - I'll get on with some tidying!
0:06:06 > 0:06:07- Good!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Is this the area you cover - - from Trecastle to Llandovery?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Yes, and I even travel as far - as Llandeilo for work, quite often.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- I work within a 25-mile radius - of Trecastle and Llandovery.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- That's the limit, really.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Two of you work together.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- You can call on Carwyn - when you need him.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Things work out well.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Employing someone - would be difficult.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Last winter, I had to take several - days off because of wet weather.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- I wasn't able to work.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- There's also the paperwork - and other considerations.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02- You work, you send your bills, money - comes in - that's how it works.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03- Yes, definitely.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Major jobs come along - from time to time.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Most of the time, it's small jobs, - but we do large jobs occasionally.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14- We like small jobs.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- We do them quickly and we're paid - straight away, it's good.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Some boys don't like small jobs, - they want the large jobs.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- That's my original home - - that's where Mam and Dad live.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- My uncle farms at Ferdre - and Mam and Dad live at Tyle Glas.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Eirian has been carrying out - this work for ten years.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Examples of his craftsmanship can - often be seen beside the roads...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- ..as you travel around the area.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- This fence - comes under the Glastir scheme.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- It's a large double fence.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- It's a large double fence.- - Yes, it's Glastir work.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I've used tanalised materials - beside the road...
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- ..and creosoted material - on the inside.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- There's a wide strip - between the two fences.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- A new hedge has been planted - to replace the old one.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- It's coming along nicely.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- We've put barbed wire - on the inside of the posts.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Beside a road, barbed wire - must go on the inside.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- These posts are creosoted.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- These posts are creosoted.- - They have a 15-year guarantee.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- We'll see what they're like - in 15 years.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- The main problem with posts - is that they rot so quickly.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It's terrible.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- They rot in the ground and snap.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- But there's a 15-year guarantee - on those.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I'd like to see them - in 15 years' time.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- You probably will.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Hedge laying has always been - an important feature in this area.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- In other areas, - you see fences beside hedges.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- They perform a necessary function.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- But in this area, it must be said, - there aren't many gaps in hedges.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- No.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- The original hedges - were laid so well.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- Many local farmers took part - in Tir Gofal and Tir Cymen schemes.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Hedges were covered - by those schemes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- We've had a hard winter.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- It's been terribly wet, - and we're behind with our work.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- When the weather improves, - we'll be very busy.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- I can't take the tractor - off tarmac, at the moment.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Even using a bike makes a mess.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- We're coming up to Babel Hall.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- It's a new hall, is it?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- It's been renovated in recent years.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- It looks nice.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- It's a venue for eisteddfodau, - whist drives and other events.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- The old rural craft of hedge laying - is dying out, gradually.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Nowadays, there's a greater demand - for Eirian's skills...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- ..in erecting stock fencing.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- That was quick work.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Yes.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Modern equipment is amazing.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- These fencing machines are superb.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Yes - I'd be lost without this.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- I'm sure.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- The ground can be very hard.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- The ground is quite hard, here.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09- It can be rocky.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- There's also the road.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- You do a lot of fencing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Is it your main work?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Yes, there's plenty - of fencing work to do.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- But as you know, the last - three months have been so wet...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- ..so we're behind in our work.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- But we try to do a little - every week.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Usually, you work as a pair.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- There's netting - and barbed wire to fix.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- No-one else was available today, - so I'm working on my own.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- I enjoyed watching you - preparing the posts.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- You use a chainsaw - to cut sharp points on old posts..
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- It means we can reuse them.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- I put a pole behind a strut, - to support it...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- ..struts take a lot of strain.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- This was your original home.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- This was your original home.- - Yes, this is Tyle Glas.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02- Your father still lives here.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- Your father still lives here.- - Yes, and Mam.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- That farm over there, Ferdre, - is the old home.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- You just have to fix - the barbed wire, and you'll be done.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- Your son is helping you.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Your son is helping you.- - He's around here, somewhere.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17- Yes, he's here.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Your name is Alun, isn't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Yes.

0:12:40 > 0:12:45- Have you any thoughts about what - you want to do after leaving school?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46- I want to work with Dad.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48- Excellent.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Have you been helping him for long?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53- Yes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Are you waiting for the day - when you can drive the tractor?
0:12:59 > 0:13:00- Yes!

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- I like the bike.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06- It's good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- You're wearing a rugby shirt - - do you like rugby?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Yes, I like rugby.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- I play football, but I like rugby.

0:13:33 > 0:13:33- .

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- ..for Eirian Morgan - and his colleague, Carwyn Dyer...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- ..involves laying hedges, - and fencing.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- But today, - they have a different task.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- They're at Garddfady Farm - in Pentre Ty-gwyn...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- ..and they're dismantling - some old stables.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- We're dismantling these.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- They've already been sold.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- New stables will be built - to replace them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- These stables aren't high enough.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- The owners have four or five horses.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- We've done a lot of fencing - on the farm...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- ..now, I've been asked - to take these out.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Someone's coming - to pick them up tomorrow.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- We've numbered all the sections, so - that the buyer can reassemble them.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- I've seen some nice paddocks.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- We fenced those paddocks - shortly before Christmas.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41- The owners are incomers, are they?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- The owners are incomers, are they?- - Yes.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- What is the name of the farm?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- It's called Garddfady.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- It used to be a very large farm.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- It's changed hands several times, - blocks of land have been sold off.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- About 20 acres remain.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- The land is used for keeping horses.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- There are lots of different jobs - you're able to carry out.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Yes, there are.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- We were offered this job.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- It's the type of job - we can do on a wet day.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- After a hard day's work, - the old stables have been removed.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- A new drainage channel - is being installed on the floor.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- We've now removed the stables.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- We've been installing - concrete dishes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- When the new stables are in place...
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- ..water for washing them out - will be channelled through.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- It's your job - to keep customers satisfied.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12- ..a firm of specialists came in - to build the new stables.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- Good gracious!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- There's a huge difference.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19- They've been busy.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- They've been busy.- - Indeed.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- There are five new stables.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26- And a feed room, too.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Yes, and a tack room, behind you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34- I understand they used a - Corwen-based construction company.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35- That's right.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- It carries out work in Orkney, - and in Scotland and Ireland.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- These stables are magnificent.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- They're an impressive sight.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I always have something on the go.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- I'd say I always have - at least a month's work ahead of me.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- I'm even busier at the moment, - because the winter was so long.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- As the weather improves, - we'll have more fencing jobs.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- Very nice.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- I'm glad, and I hope - the work keeps coming.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- I hope so too.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- We did some fencing in this area - last year...
0:17:19 > 0:17:20- ..over 2,000 metres of it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- The weather was terribly wet - at the time...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- ..but we had to get on with it, - because of deadlines.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- We just got on with it, really.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- I enjoyed that trip.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38- Very interesting.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Will the tea caravan be closed?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- I'm not sure.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- A good excuse to go to the local!
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- That's right!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- The 'local', for Eirian, - is the small catering van...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- ..run by his wife, Wendy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- The business operates at the - roadside, just outside Trecastle.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Today, their son, Alun, - and daughter, Casey...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- ..are helping Wendy.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Everybody's here!
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- Hello, Wendy - are you well?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20- Hello, Wendy - are you well?- - Yes, good, thank you.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Been busy this morning?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Been busy this morning?- - Very busy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- We'd better have a coffee each.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27- We've been very busy, too!
0:18:28 > 0:18:28- Coffee?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Coffee?- - Please.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31- What do you want?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- What do you want?- - Tea for me, please.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34- Would you like something to eat?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Would you like something to eat?- - No, I'm fine.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Although if you're paying, - perhaps I should reconsider!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- A triple cheeseburger, please!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- What's your daughter's name.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- What's your daughter's name.- - Casey.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49- Casey, how are you?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Fine, thanks.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53- Well done!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Are you a member - of Trecastle Young Farmers' Club?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Yes, and I perform with them.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- It's drama week, isn't it?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04- Yes.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- How long have you been here - in the lay-by?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- About a year, now, I think.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- Really?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- And you're busy - I passed you - one morning, and it was all go.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- It's always busy, which is good.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19- What time do you finish?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- What time do you finish?- - About 3.00pm.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23- You live just up the road.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Only in the village, so it's good.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Have you worked behind the counter?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Have you worked behind the counter?- - I worked a single day.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Never again!
0:19:32 > 0:19:33- Not my cup of tea!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- It's mine, anyway!
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- I did one day, but no, - I wouldn't want to do it again.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- It's quite stressful, actually, - when it's busy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Trying to remember the orders.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- It looks less stressful - than working in mud!
0:19:53 > 0:19:59- After a quick cuppa, we make our way - to Penywaun, Carwyn's home.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- He needs Eirian's help - with installing a new gate.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Lifting the old post - is the first step.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- You won't recognise the old place - when you get home, Carwyn!
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Gates should hang properly - - it's a nuisance if they don't.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Machines can make the work - very easy.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- Yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- This is a 10-foot gate.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- I need wider gates - to accommodate larger machines.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- And I'm a poor driver!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Have you always lived here?
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- Yes, Penywaun Farm, up there, - is where I was born and raised...
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- ..and my father, before me.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Having the right tools - makes the work easy.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22- Yes, the job's done.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- I like that machine - for boring holes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- It saves a lot of time, - compared with doing it by hand.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- You could do with filling in a bit, - underneath the gate.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Yes, we've placed it higher - so we can put rubble underneath.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Cattle will try to jump - over anything.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Everything's muddy at the moment.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- We'll bring in some rubble, - when conditions are drier.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- It's level, fair play.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- We'll install the other post, - and the job will be done.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59- You know, fencing and installing - gates has become so easy...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- ..I'm tempted to try it for myself!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- There you go - do you want a job?!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- I could give you two days a week!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- It would require quite a sacrifice!
0:22:12 > 0:22:17- Things have improved a lot over - the years, with better machinery.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Good fences make good neighbours.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- That's right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Eirian and Carwyn - are very fortunate.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- They live, and work every day, - in this delightful area.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- As the number of rural craftspeople - dwindles...
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- ..local residents - are also fortunate to have them.
