0:00:13 > 0:00:17- The subject of this programme - is an interesting one.

0:00:18 > 0:00:23- I'm visiting the home - of Michael and Gwawr Jones...

0:00:23 > 0:00:25- ..Ffridd Farm, Llandygai.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28- They have a young son, Bedwyr.

0:00:29 > 0:00:33- They're renting a farm - on the Penrhyn estate...

0:00:34 > 0:00:38- ..and they have a 15-year tenancy...

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- ..which is unusual, nowadays.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- It's a nice story - from the world of agriculture...

0:00:45 > 0:00:50- ..at a time when people - are turning their backs on farming.

0:00:53 > 0:00:59- Starting a farming business from - scratch is not easy, these days.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- But Michael and Gwawr - are giving it their best.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- They're enjoying it.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- You have lots of dogs, Michael.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Let's see how they perform!

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Are you particularly keen - on Kelpies?

0:01:16 > 0:01:17- Well, yes.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19- They're...

0:01:19 > 0:01:21- They do the job, when they want to.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25- You're sorting out lambs today, - are you?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Do you sell them on the hook?

0:01:28 > 0:01:29- After you.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32- WHISTLING

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- That'll do, good girl.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Here, Tess.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39- That'll do.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- That'll do, that'll do.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- OK, here, Tess.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- That'll do.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48- That'll do.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58- Slowly.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14- When does lambing take place?

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- It begins in December - and carries on until May.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- It begins with the pedigree - Charollais in December...

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- ..but for these, it's late January.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33- You're choosing lambs to send away - - lambs weighing 40 kilos or more.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Let's hope there are a few!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Stand.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- It's a nice type of sheep.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Continental lambs have a nice shape.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Now, I'm struggling with what type - of ram to use with them.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Should I keep them as pedigrees?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Their weight is good.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- They're 45 kilos on average, - maybe a little more.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21- It's so nice to see a fine lamb.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Yes, and I like a dense fleece.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25- Yes, that's fine.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- There's something about lambs - with a dense fleece.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33- They have a better appearance.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Not quite big enough.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Have you been feeding them - concentrates?

0:03:49 > 0:03:50- No, just grass.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I try to re-seed a little - every year.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- I feel I get my money's worth - from grass.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- The lambs do better - and they're healthier.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- You must have fresh grass - in order to fatten lambs.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11- You want them to grow - to the correct weight.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- You have to pick lambs - when they're the right weight...

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- ..before they lose condition.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Their weight is up to standard.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- My favourite job - is marking the best lambs!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41- What did people say - about standards, years ago?

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- "It's the ones John West rejects - that make John West the best!"

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- You've been busy - erecting new fencing.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- It makes the old fencing - look untidy!

0:05:05 > 0:05:07- It does the job, though.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Let's take a look at the cows.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14- That gate hangs nicely.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16- Yes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- This is very nice grassland, - full of clover.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- This was sown four years ago.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27- Are these the suckler cows?

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Are these the suckler cows?- - Yes, they're calving at the moment.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- You've chosen British Blue.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Yes, the breed suits my purposes.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- It's a good suckler breed.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- They need to be good milk producers.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Continental calves - need plenty of milk.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- It's a nice type of cow.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- What sparked your enthusiasm?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- I lived and farmed - with my grandfather...

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- ..but my grandfather's farm - wasn't big enough.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- So I did other work to bring in - an income, such as selling cake.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06- I worked away from the farm - and visited other farms.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- But I just wanted to work at home.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13- To run your own business?

0:06:14 > 0:06:15- Yes, that's what I wanted.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- My heart wasn't in my work.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Then this opportunity came up, - so we went for it.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- We still have a long way to go.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- How long have you been here?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- It'll be five years, next year.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- You started at a young age.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34- I was 24 years old.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Young enough to be a member - of the Young Farmers' Club!

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- And today, are you just as keen - as you were when you started?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Yes, this is where I want to be.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Of course, I have a young family - - Bedwyr - to consider.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I don't want Bedwyr - to be in that situation.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- If he wants to farm...

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- ..I hope I'll have enough work - to keep him at home.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04- That's fair enough.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- What do you have here?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Yearling rams, for selling.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Send the dog after them.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Did you breed them?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Yes, apart from two stock rams - that I bought.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- You're keen on the Charollais breed.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Yes, they're the right length - and weight, and lambing is easy.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- How big is your flock?

0:07:34 > 0:07:35- You have Charollais and mules.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- You have Charollais and mules.- - Dolly mixtures!

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- When I came here first...

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- ..I had to decide what to keep, - what type of sheep.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- I made a mistake, initially.

0:07:45 > 0:07:51- I should have known the land wasn't - good enough for certain breeds.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55- It's taken until now - to get into the swing of things.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Your background isn't - completely agricultural, is it?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03- My mother was a farmer's daughter...

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- ..but Dad couldn't tell - sheep from cows!

0:08:07 > 0:08:08- Well, he knows, now!

0:08:09 > 0:08:10- He comes here to help out.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Why did you become interested and - where did you get your education?

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- I've been following you around - - you're doing a good job.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21- It began with my grandfather.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- It began with my grandfather.- - Where was that?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Llandudno Junction.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- The farm was called Wern Wen.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Taid has been a great help.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33- I turned to him for advice.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38- He'd tell me, "You don't want - to spend that much!"

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- I can see what he means.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Water troughs, for example.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- If a trough is leaking, I turn off - the water and fix it myself...

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- ..because I'm the one who's paying!

0:08:52 > 0:08:59- You have the freedom and the desire - to develop the farm.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- You have the time.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- You have five years' experience.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- I'm not at a stage where - I can spend money and make changes.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I've been extremely fortunate...

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- ..and I'm grateful to the Penrhyn - estate for what they've done.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- They took a gamble on me - - I was a young lad.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I'm extremely grateful - for what they've done for me.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Michael and Gwawr's farm - is in a splendid location...

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- ..at the foot of Snowdonia, - but also close to the sea.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- When Michael wants a break - from his work...

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- ..he comes to Felinheli, - or Port Dinorwic...

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- ..where he fishes for lobsters.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Do you come here regularly?

0:09:49 > 0:09:53- There's a man who lives locally - who helps on the farm.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54- He has a boat.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- It's nice to go out on the boat - for an hour or two.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03- I like something like this, - but I'm not keen on water.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- When I have a bath, there's - just enough water to wet my feet!

0:10:09 > 0:10:10- I prefer a shower.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12- Is this the boat?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Is this the boat?- - Yes, this is the boat.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15- How are you!

0:10:15 > 0:10:16- How are you!- - Good morning.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18- Alright?

0:10:19 > 0:10:20- Alright, Dave?

0:10:21 > 0:10:22- You're welcome.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23- You're welcome.- - Are we ready?

0:10:24 > 0:10:25- # On Huw Puw's barge

0:10:25 > 0:10:27- # Who wants to go to sea... #

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- No, I'm not going with them!

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- A coward looks after himself!

0:10:33 > 0:10:38- But it's interesting to see how - Michael and his friend farm the sea.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- # See the wonders of the world, - places like Pwllheli

0:10:45 > 0:10:50- # Porthmadog, Nefyn, Abersoch, - Red Wharf Bay, Felinheli

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- # Beaumaris, Amlwch and Llanon

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- # Caernarfon and Holyhead

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- # New Quay, Solva, Fishguard... #

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- This is a shore crab.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- These are caught off the headland.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07- They're cooked, frozen, - and exported to Spain.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Dei can have that to take home.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13- # Fa la la la la la

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- # Fa la la la la la la fal la la

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- # Fa la la la la la

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- # Fa la la la la la la... #

0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Mmm - what could be better - than a lobster, fresh from the pot?!

0:11:28 > 0:11:29- .

0:11:37 > 0:11:42- Ffridd Farm is under new management - and new ideas are needed.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Michael is part of a business - that promotes Welsh lamb.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Eight of us have come together - to set up a meat company.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56- We're trying to improve the value - of our lamb...

0:11:57 > 0:11:58- ..and to increase sales.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04- People view lamb as a joint of meat - eaten by the family on Sundays.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- When it's cooked well, - you can't beat it.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11- But we have to move with the times.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13- Everything moves on.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- We have to move on with our lamb, - or we'll be left behind.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24- The flavour of lambs that have been - reared and slaughtered at home...

0:12:25 > 0:12:30- ..is so much better than any - ordinary shop-bought lamb.

0:12:34 > 0:12:40- From time to time, the company's - partners meet to discuss plans.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- He doesn't want the meat - to arrive too early in the morning.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Are we happy with this?

0:12:49 > 0:12:50- Very happy.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Very happy.- - Do you want to add anything?

0:12:53 > 0:12:55- That needs to be in Welsh.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56- Oh, yes.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- The Welsh lettering in white.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- The Welsh lettering in white.- - Welsh should come first.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Good gracious, what a crew!

0:13:05 > 0:13:06- How are you?

0:13:07 > 0:13:08- Very good.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10- Something smells nice.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Is this the meeting you mentioned?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Two were unable to come today.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Getting everyone together - is difficult.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21- I can imagine.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26- What's the name of the company - and the scheme?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28- We all run family farms.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Our aim is to improve value - for the farmer.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- We're trying to develop - a scheme for processing.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38- We want profits - to come back to the farmer.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Lambs are our investment...

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- ..and we want to make sure - that what we do...

0:13:45 > 0:13:50- ..earns money for the farmer and - helps to maintain our family farms.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Our prosperity as Welsh farmers...

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- ..relies on the success - of our lamb sales.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Anything we can do - to increase the demand for lamb...

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- ..will have a positive effect - on family farms.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08- I feel there's a lot of work - to be done in this country...

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- ..to put lamb - back on the weekly menu...

0:14:13 > 0:14:16- ..for families - throughout the country.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20- That's our aim - to put lamb - back at the top of the menu.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- All our produce can be cooked - in under 20 minutes.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29- We're trying to appeal to people - who live busy lives.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33- And everyone - wants things like chillies.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- We're trying to come up - with new recipes.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Burgers?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Burgers, meatballs - - anything, really.

0:14:42 > 0:14:47- We know what children are like, - they love burgers.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52- If you put a piece of meat in front - of them, they don't know what to do.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- But if you give them a burger, - they'll eat it.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- There are things we hadn't imagined.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- We've learned - about people's shopping habits...

0:15:03 > 0:15:08- ..and how they respond to packaging - - what sort of things attract them.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- It's been thought-provoking.

0:15:10 > 0:15:16- In my view, our landscape - adds a great deal to our produce.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Also, there's the fact...

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- ..that we're trying to take care - of our own produce...

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- ..trying to take it further - than the farm gate.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Facebook and Twitter - have been very useful.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33- We launched our own page.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- We've done marketing - at the Royal Welsh.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- We'll be taking part - in the Conwy food festival.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- It's important that we go out there - and talk to our target market...

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- ..and listen to what people say.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- We want the money - to come back to the farmer.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Farmers are always - on the bottom rung of the ladder.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Money filters down...

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- ..but by the time it reaches - the farmer, there isn't much left.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Money is skimmed off - on the way down.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- It would be nice to see - direct profits.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- That's our aim.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Perseverance pays in the end.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Renovation can cause - loss of character.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- But Michael is working - with the Glastir scheme...

0:16:23 > 0:16:27- ..to renovate the farm - using traditional methods.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- The old ways are sometimes better - - and easier on the eye.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37- You're patching the wall.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- It's a new wall, - built under the Glastir scheme.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Was there a gate here, - to let animals through?

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- No, there was just a small wall, - about a foot high.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51- It needs to be higher.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- How long will it be?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- From the bottom, - all the way up to the pylon.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00- You'll need plenty of stone!

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- You'll have plenty of work, - lifting stones!

0:17:04 > 0:17:04- This will keep you busy.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07- This will keep you busy.- - Glastir is giving us plenty of work.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09- It's a good thing.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12- I'm sure it is.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- It's a pleasure to see - such a well-built wall.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19- It provides good shelter - for sheep and other animals.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21- What... ?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- That tile goes all the way up.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25- That tile goes all the way up.- - We begin at the bottom.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- We're pulling it down - and rebuilding, but higher.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39- You have lovely old outbuildings, - but you always need more.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- You can never have - too many outbuildings.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43- You can never have too many sheds.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- You can never have too many sheds.- - So you're building a new shed.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47- Yes, hopefully.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- We're building a shed - and a silage pit.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- You've started clearing the ground.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Building a new shed - involves an awful lot of work.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- And it has to fit in - with the old sheds.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- The old sheds were fine for a while.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- But I wish I'd had more - when I started.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14- For example, a young man needs - money to buy stock, initially.

0:18:15 > 0:18:21- I preferred to spend my money - on sheep and cattle...

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- ..things which would bring in - more money.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- But sheds are useful.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I could have spent money - on a tractor...

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- ..but I didn't need a new tractor.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- I didn't have any stock, initially.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I could have done with more money - to buy stock.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- That's where I struggled.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44- That's where I struggled.- - That makes a lot of sense to me.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- You're also building a silage pit.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50- A silage pit, yes.

0:18:50 > 0:18:51- A shed and a silage pit.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53- Silage for the cattle?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Silage for the cattle?- - Yes, and for the sheep.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58- I hope the silage turns out well.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59- We'll see.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- We'll see.- - I wish you all the best with it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12- There's lots of slate - from local quarries on the farm.

0:19:12 > 0:19:18- Rebuilding this fence is hard work, - but well worth the effort.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- This looks like a tough job.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29- I regret starting it!

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- It didn't seem so bad - when I started.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Was it something you had to do?

0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Did you have any choice - regarding the type of fence?

0:19:40 > 0:19:45- No, it's part of the Glastir scheme, - so it must be rebuilt.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- How old are those poles?

0:19:49 > 0:19:51- A hundred years old or more.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52- A hundred years old!

0:19:52 > 0:19:53- A hundred years old!- - I'd say so.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57- You won't have to do it again - for a while.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59- They were popular, years ago.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Unlike a wooden fence, - slate doesn't rot.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Unlike fencing posts.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Is this type of fence - common in the area?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Yes, there are lots in this area.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- There are slate quarries locally, - such as Penrhyn.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- There's also Dinorwig quarry.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21- The work is laborious, though.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26- There's a lot of work involved, - but it'll be nice when it's done.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29- It adds character to the farm.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37- From blue slates to blue lobsters!

0:20:37 > 0:20:40- In the kitchen, it's lunchtime.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- The water's boiling.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Do you want me to put it in?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- I don't like things like this!

0:20:50 > 0:20:52- I'll put it in, whiskers first.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Right, it's in.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- We can hear it boiling.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06- How did you meet - were you - brought up on a farm, Gwawr?

0:21:06 > 0:21:07- Yes, a farm in Llanefydd.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Yes, a farm in Llanefydd.- - In Denbighshire?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- So you're accustomed to farming.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- You have more of an agricultural - background than Michael.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Yes, I was raised on a farm.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22- I've gone back to work, part-time.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24- I work as a PA.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Excellent.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- It gives you - somewhere different to go.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- You go your separate ways - during the day.

0:21:32 > 0:21:37- That means you're more eager - to see each other in the evening!

0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Is it still moving?

0:21:42 > 0:21:43- Let's hope it's not!

0:21:44 > 0:21:45- It's on its back.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- If it's still moving, - something's wrong!

0:21:49 > 0:21:51- How do you know when it's ready?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Is it fully cooked?

0:22:02 > 0:22:03- Mmm, nice!

0:22:04 > 0:22:05- It's nice.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07- It's nice.- - We'll have salad to go with it.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09- It's very nice!

0:22:09 > 0:22:10- Lovely!

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Lovely!

0:22:20 > 0:22:25- When you saw this place, - when you began to work the farm...

0:22:25 > 0:22:29- ..there must have been - an element of risk to consider.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Yes, it's been hard work...

0:22:32 > 0:22:37- ..and sometimes we've wondered - where the next penny will come from.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- But it's what - we've always wanted to do.

0:22:40 > 0:22:45- So long as we can pay the bills - and carrying on living here...

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- ..we'll be happy.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Yes, that's what life is like - on this farm.

0:22:57 > 0:23:02- We see remnants of yesteryear, - but they're planning for the future.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07- I wish all the best to Michael - and Gwawr and little Bedwyr.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Michael is showing a lot - of enterprise on this farm.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15- He has rolled up his sleeves - and he's doing his very best.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- I wish them all the best - in their efforts, as a family.

0:23:19 > 0:23:26- Let's hope the Almighty will allow - me to return to see the results!
