-I'm on my way to Penbryn Farm -in Montgomeryshire... | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
-..to visit the childhood home -of a prominent folk singer. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:21 | |
-She's a former member of Plethyn, -a folk group. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
-Today, she sings as a soloist, -and with her daughters. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
-Meet Linda Griffiths. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
-It's too high for you. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
-Come along. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
-Good gracious! | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
-Why did you ever leave this place? | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
-Look at those views! | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
-Magnificent! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
-It's a magnificent area. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
-I have a soft spot -for Montgomeryshire. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
-How old were you when you left? | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-I was 18 years old when I went -to college in Aberystwyth. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-If you'd told me at the time... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
-..that I wouldn't return -to live here permanently... | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-..I'd have said, "No way!" | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
-But that's how things turned out, -that's life. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
-Roots are very important, I know. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-But at some stage in your life... | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
-..you will, inevitably, return -to the place where you grew up. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
-These days, I don't regard -Montgomeryshire as my home. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
-I don't regard it as returning home, -since I lost my parents... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-..and since I lost my old home -in Montgomeryshire. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
-I have family members living here -and there's always a warm welcome. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
-But these days, I come to visit -people in Montgomeryshire. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-Maesmeurig, with Danny, my daughters -and our animals, is my home. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
-But this is still my territory - -it will always be my territory. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-It's a part of me, -and I'm a part of this area. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-Shall we move on? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
-It's a wonderful place. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
-Was this your playground -when you were young? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-Yes - Cath, my cousin, and I. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-The dog is holding you back! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-You're going too fast, Dai! | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-Sorry! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
-Here we are. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
-Here we are. - -Tired already, Dai?! | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-What's that place over there? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
-What's that place over there? - -Be careful with your stick! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-We're looking out -over the hills above Llanfair... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-..and Cefn Coch. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
-There are wind turbines -in that area. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-There are wind turbines everywhere. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-Dyffryn Meifod is to our left. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-If I may turn -to your singing career... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-..which began in your home area... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-..how old were you -when you started singing on stage? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
-I didn't start singing on my own -until I was 14 years old... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
-..apart from a few minor gatherings -at the chapel. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
-The chapel held competitions. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-But other than those, -I didn't sing on my own. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-I don't think anyone ever told me -I could sing. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-I didn't live -in that kind of milieu. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-We didn't attend eisteddfodau. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
-We lived on a farm, -and the farm was our life. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-Your late parents had the -opportunity to hear you sing... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-..they saw you taking your place -in that world. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-Yes, and they saw me sing -with Plethyn. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
-Yes, Dad was around. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
-We lost Mam four years ago. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
-So, yes. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
-In their own way, -they were quite proud... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-..but they were never boastful. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-I think that's a characteristic -of rural areas... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-..you don't boast -about your children... | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-..you don't praise them. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-Sometimes, I have difficulty -with my own daughters. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
-You want to encourage them, but -you also want to keep them grounded. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
-Perhaps I was brought up -not to think of myself... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-..as being more talented -or better than anyone else... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-..and, perhaps, -I also lacked confidence. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-It's tricky. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
-I'm sure you must be very happy... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
-..that all three of your daughters -have followed in your footsteps. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
-Yes, I'm glad they've done so. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-Even when they were small, -people asked if they could sing. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
-That wouldn't necessarily mean -they were keen to sing. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-But it's something they've developed -in their own time, in their own way. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
-I haven't pushed them in any way. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
-You should do things -because you enjoy them. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-Because they're my daughters... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-..that shouldn't have any bearing -on their ability or desire to sing. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
-# I sought shelter | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-# On the solid rock # | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
-Sorela is an acapella group. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
-Linda is very proud -of Mari, Gwenno and Lisa. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
-Good gracious, how beautiful. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-This is the top of the hill. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-Yes, these are Penbryn's top fields. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-I always felt -I was standing on top of the world! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-You can see for miles all around. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
-People often ask me -if I'll return to Montgomeryshire... | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-..but you never know -what life has in store for you. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
-I shall return, one day - -probably in a wooden box! | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
-I've asked my daughters to scatter -my ashes at this exact spot... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
-..and to make sure the wind's -blowing in that direction... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-..so that my ashes -aren't blown over the border! | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-I like the idea of being back -in my childhood home, in this area. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:07 | |
-Someone asked me -to write a few verses... | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-..for a book that was published -for the Maldwyn eisteddfod. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-Here's one of them. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
-"One day, I shall return, -when all comes to a stop | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-"Once again I'll wander -along the top fields | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-"Choose a windy day, -scatter me to the heavens | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-"Don't let sheep relieve themselves -on my remains!" | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-Where are we now, Linda? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
-I know it's the area -where you grew up. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
-Bwlch Golau Farm is behind us. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-This is Bwlch-bach. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-Many years ago... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-..Taid and Nain Penrhos -lived here, for a while... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-..my father's parents. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-They came to Bwlch-bach -after they got married. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
-They were tenants. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
-One hot day, Taid had been -working hard at the harvest... | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
-..with his horses. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-He went home late for his supper... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-..but his landlord called him back -to do even more work. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-Taid said, politely, -"Enough is enough. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-"My horses and I -have done enough for one day." | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-The following day, -they were evicted from their home... | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-..because Taid -had stood up for himself. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-They had no warning. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-They had three children, -at the time. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-Kind neighbours living nearby -offered them a home... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-..a place called Wern Bont, -which stands as a ruin today. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-It's located above Pontrobert. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-They lived there, they worked hard, -they scrimped and saved. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
-Later on, they moved -to another rented farm, Peniarth... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-..before buying Penbryn Farm, -where I was raised. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-They also bought another farm - -Penrhos Farm. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-These farms remain in the family. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-They also raised eight children. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-I admire them very much. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-That's very interesting. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-It's good to see -the actual locations. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |

-Welcome back -to Linda Griffiths's home... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-..Maesmeurig, Penybont -Rhyd y Beddau, Penrhyncoch. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
-It's a haven for her family -and a number of animals. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-I like this house very much. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
-It's a proper farmhouse. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
-It's a solid house. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
-It faces the sun. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
-Lots of houses in this village -stand in shadows. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-It's nice to face the sun. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
-When it was built, -people knew exactly where to build. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-The prevailing wind is funnelled -up the valley... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..but the house -stands in a sheltered position. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-These are important! | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
-Very important! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
-What breed are they? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-They're kunekune. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-Kunekune? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
-They come from New Zealand. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-Come on, boys! | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
-Twm, you idiot! | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
-Twm, you idiot! - -Twm-Twm! | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-Pigs are my favourite animals. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-Twm-Twm, follow Hilda! | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-Twm-Twm! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-Twm-Twm! | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
-Twm-Twm has weak hearing -and weak sight. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-I have apples for you - come on. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-There we go. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
-Will you close the gate, Dai? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-Right. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:43 | |
-In a minute, boys. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-Four years ago, at Christmas, -I was staying with my sister. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
-Mam had died recently, -and we were all feeling very sad. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-On Christmas morning, my nephew -turned up with a stock trailer. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
-I heard someone say, -"Mam, come here a moment." | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-"Girls, what have you done?" | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
-They'd bought these two pigs -for me, to cheer me up. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-This place is so neat. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
-It's like paradise. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
-It's sheltered by the hills. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
-There are trees. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:18 | |
-It's just like -a traditional Welsh smallholding. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
-When I went to college -in Aberystwyth... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
-..I missed the farm -even more than I missed my family. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-I missed the animals and the land. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
-I was a typical farmer's daughter, -I loved being outdoors. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
-You have an ideal lifestyle. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
-You have an ideal lifestyle. - -I'm happy to be outdoors. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-People in Wales -may think of me as a singer. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-But singing -is a small part of my life... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
-..particularly nowadays. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
-The outdoors, the natural world, -walking, riding my horse... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-..looking after the pigs... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-..this is my world, my life. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-I feel I must spend time outdoors, -at some point, every single day. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
-I feel like an animal in a cage -if I'm indoors all day. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-Look - a typical male! | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
-He's taking all the food over there! | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-Oh, here she comes! | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
-A typical female - sticking her nose -into what he's doing! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-Well, Twm-Twm is happy! | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-Snwff is having a scratch! | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-And Magi wants to go for a walk. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
-The extended Maesmeurig family -is happy. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-My hair will be like a pancake -after this! | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-Just like the hat! | 0:13:44 | 0:13:45 | |
-I'll catch up with you. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-After you've finished sweeping. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-Don't worry, I won't forget. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-DAI HUMS | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
-You need a faster horse - -I've beaten you! | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-I don't know -who's the most tired, her or me. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
-These views are lovely, -and it's a glorious morning. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:32 | |
-Yes, it's great. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
-There's a panorama -wherever you look. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-Do you stop to chat with people? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-Yes, going out horseriding -is a very social activity. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
-There isn't much of a community in -Trefeurig, since the school closed. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-But when I take Magi out, -I talk to people. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-It was the same -when I lived at home. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-You meet people around the place. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-May I be a gentleman, -and open the gate for you? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-You may - it makes a nice change -to have someone to open the gate. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
-There you go. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
-You've got it, Dai. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
-You've got it, Dai. - -I've got it! | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
-Fair play to Ceredigion Council... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-..their bridleways have gates -that are easy to open on horseback. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
-I'll catch up with you. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
-I'll catch up with you. - -Really?! | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-As Linda rides off... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
-..I have an opportunity -to chat with her daughters. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-# Just a wave | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-# On the sea, nearby | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-# And maybe a promise of finding | 0:15:46 | 0:15:53 | |
-# Remains of the day | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
-# Among porpoises # | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-Mari, you're the youngest daughter. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-Mari, you're the youngest daughter. - -Yes, I'm the youngest. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:06 | |
-When you were young... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
-..did the fact that your mother was -a singer inspire you to sing too? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-I enjoyed singing -and I sang at school. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-But I was more drawn -to art and photography... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-..and drama, rather than music. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
-I'm less musical, technically, -than Lisa and Gwenno. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
-I'm more like Mam - -I play it by ear. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
-What's your attitude towards life? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
-Are you like your mother? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-All three of us are like Mam. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-I think we've picked up... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:47 | |
-..slightly feminist vibes from Mam. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-# Do you know | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
-# How salty the sea is | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-# It sends | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-# A storm at my head # | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-Lisa, did your mother's voice -and her musical interests... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
-..influence you at all? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
-Did you think, "I want to do that"? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-Certainly. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-We used to listen to a tape -of children's songs by Plethyn... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
-.."Mam sing again, Mam sing again!" | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
-Mam would hide that tape! | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
-I was always keen to sing. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
-I always wanted Mam -to take me to eisteddfodau. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
-"Can I compete -at the Penrhyncoch eisteddfod?" | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
-Mam wasn't keen, but she's talented. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
-Mam wasn't keen, but she's talented. - -She never took part in eisteddfodau. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
-No, not at all. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
-She never had any conscious -intention of becoming a singer... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:51 | |
-..she never intended to sing -all over the world. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
-It just happened. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
-Mam is really chilled -about everything, unlike me. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
-Mari is similar - -she goes along with it. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
-But ever since I was small, -I've wanted to sing, like Mam... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
-..I've always been a keen bean! | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
-# I sought shelter | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
-# On the solid rock | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
-# The prom is a beach | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
-# And the beach is a pub | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-# College days | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
-# Narrow streets | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
-# Together, they form | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
-# A net for the heart # | 0:18:41 | 0:18:48 | |
-Gwenno, I've caught up with you! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
-Looking back on your childhood. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
-You saw your mother sing, -you heard her sing. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-Did it inspire you -to follow in her footsteps? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-I don't think I recognised it -as inspiration at the time... | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
-..it was just something -that Mam did. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-I can remember listening -to Plethyn rehearsing... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
-..and I really enjoyed being there. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-I like... Mam's voice... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-..it's really nice. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
-It has a homely quality, for me. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-It touches your heart. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-Yes - it's nice. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-It's something -that's always been there. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-It has probably inspired us -more than we realise. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-I've talked to all three of you. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
-Mam has had a big influence -on your lives. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
-It's wonderful. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |

-Linda of Maesmeurig, Penybont -Rhyd y Beddau, Penrhyncoch. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:58 | |
-I've enjoyed every moment with you. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-I've enjoyed having you here! | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
-I've enjoyed having you here! - -It's been fun! | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
-You have three lively daughters -who know what they want to do. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
-I don't know about that... | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
-..but they're certainly -full of life and they enjoy life. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:17 | |
-Nothing gives you more pleasure -than watching them come and go. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
-One of the most important things, -where children are concerned... | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
-..is letting them go. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:28 | |
-Two of my daughters live in London, -and the other one may join them. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
-Young people are criticised -for leaving Wales... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-..but it's not so bad, in my view. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-They act as ambassadors -for their language and their nation. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-People see them speaking Welsh -in a natural way. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
-And you hope... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:50 | |
-..they will bring their valuable -experiences back to Wales... | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
-..back to Ceredigion. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
-I hope their upbringing -in the Aberystwyth area... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:03 | |
-..between the mountains -and the sea... | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-..will remain with them... | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
-..in the same way... | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
-..that my upbringing in -Montgomeryshire remains with me. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
-It doesn't surprise me. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
-You've talked about your roots -and your childhood home... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
-..and I've had the privilege -of walking the area with you... | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
-..and enjoyed the experience. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-I wish you years of happiness -as a family... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-..and I hope -you'll carry on singing for ever. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-Thank you very much. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
