0:00:13 > 0:00:18- There's a shop on a square - in Aberystwyth that everyone knows.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- It sells books - and all kinds of Welsh goods.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- Yes, Siop y Pethe.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- The shop opened in 1968.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- It was the first shop in Wales - to sell Welsh books and records.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- It was established - by Gwilym and Megan Tudur.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- They had the vision - to open a shop...
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- ..that would promote - our culture here in Wales.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Recently, two friends - have joined forces...
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- ..to buy and run the shop.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- They are two farmers' sons - with pokers in several fires.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- I'm keen to learn more - about their venture.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- I've been here many times, - but not since it changed hands.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Aled Rees and Dafydd Jones.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11- That's a good name.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- That's a good name, Dafydd Jones.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- How are you, boys? How's business?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Yes, we've been very busy - over the past 18 months.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- People may be surprised - that I know your names.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- But I've grown up with your family - in Llangwyryfon.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- You were a vet with us for years.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- I never thought I'd see you - as the owner of a bookshop.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35- Neither did I.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Neither did I.- - The most famous shop in Wales.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- It's the oldest bookshop, I think.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- We run a few businesses.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Between the two of us, - we run six or seven businesses.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- How did it come about...
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- ..that you became owners - of Siop y Pethe in Aberystwyth?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- I'd looked into the idea - of buying it myself.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- I looked into a few other options.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Like a lot of stories, - things developed.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I was sitting by a bar - with Dafydd one night...
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- ..and I told him - how I'd looked into buying the shop.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- I told him how I couldn't - quite afford it myself...
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- ..and he said, - "I'll buy it with you."
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Within half an hour, - we'd shaken on it...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- ..and off we went to try to buy it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- We've had a lot of support - to reopen the shop.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- It helps that we're both - from this community, in a way.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- We both worked in the community, - and Aled, obviously, is a local boy.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- That has been a big help.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Aled grew up on Pencwm farm - in Llangwyryfon...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- ..some five miles from Aberystwyth.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- He's a successful businessman...
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- ..running travel companies in Wales - and across the world.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- ..while Dafydd is a director...
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- ..at a successful veterinary surgery - in Aberystwyth.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- He's a Northwalian - but was also raised on a farm.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- He loves going home often - to help out on that farm.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- Well, John, Dafydd came down - to Ceredigion as a very young man.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Yes, straight from college.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41- That was his first practice.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- He settled well...
0:03:46 > 0:03:47- ..in the area.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- We're lucky to have a sea, - like you have here.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Did he always want to be a vet, - do you know?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Yes, he said so at a very young age.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- He was hardly out of primary school.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- He's said that was his ambition.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- He took an interest - in the animals here...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- ..if any of them were unwell.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10- Handy!
0:04:11 > 0:04:12- Yes, it was!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- There's a practice - in Chwilog, of course.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- He helped there for years - while he was at school.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23- He has two children now.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- You feel better off - when grandchildren come along.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- Certainly.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- They took their time coming, - then four came almost at once.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- Did they?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- That's the type of job it is.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Once you start, it's hard to leave.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- No wonder he became a vet, - having grown up on a farm.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- But where exactly is it?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- We're in Eifionydd, - on the border with Lleyn.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- The village is Llanarmon, - and the farm is called Bryn Rhydd.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- It's halfway - between Cricieth and Pwllheli.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- You were fairly young - when you left the area.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- Yes, I was 18, and I went - to college in Cambridge.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- It is young, in a way.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- A veterinary degree - takes a few years.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Yes, I was there for six years.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Six years in college isn't all bad!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Avoiding work for six years!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Did you always want to be a vet?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Yes, I never really wanted - to do anything else.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- I feel lucky and privileged - to do what I always wanted to do.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I don't remember - wanting to do anything else.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44- My parents say - that's what I always talked about.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- The dream came true.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- You came down to us Cardis - early in life.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- Straight from college.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- You left for a bit, then came back.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Yes, we've settled in Aberystwyth - and we're very happy there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I've been back - for about four years now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- We're very happy there.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Cardis aren't all that bad.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08- Cardis aren't all that bad.- - No, no.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Yet, your wife is French.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- From France, yes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- We met in New Zealand, oddly enough.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- She agreed to come back to Wales...
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- ..despite the rain, fair play.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- She's learning Welsh.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26- She's learning Welsh.- - Yes, for a few years now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- She's done the courses - in Aberystwyth.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- She speaks French with the children, - so they can pick that up from her.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- I speak Welsh with them, so we don't - always understand each other!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Do you have any other interests?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- I did before having children!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- But time...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Yes, sports.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- I played rugby for years.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I even played golf, - but it's a matter of time now.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- I enjoy spending time - with the children.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- By the time they've done what they - want to, there isn't much time left!
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- But they enrich your own life - and the lives of your parents.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- The children - are an integral part of life now.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Oh, yes, my parents love them...
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- ..and, conversely, they think - the world of Taid and Nain.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Macsen wakes up in the morning...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- ...and asks if he's seeing - Taid and Nain that day.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- They love each other.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- As a vet, you're used to long days.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- You were pulling a calf for me - at half past eight last night.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- It's not noon yet and we're here, - by a river in the north.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Yes, you get used to it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- But it's the same for farmers.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- You give yourself to the job...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- ..and the hours - are sometimes beyond your control.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- That's never worried me, - within reason.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- The work is always interesting.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Evening work, weekend work, - pulling calves.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- No two jobs are the same, - so it's interesting.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Siop y Pethe - is also home to another business.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21- Cambria Tours.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Aled runs the business - on the third floor.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- The company is going - from strength to strength...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- ..and attracts the world to Wales.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- We're at the top now.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42- Not quite!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- There's one more floor.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45- It's high up here.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- This is where you work, - more or less.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- I'm involved - with all the businesses..
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- ..but I probably spend more time - with Cambria at the moment.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- It's an important point - to spend time on the business.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- We work with a lot - of tour operators abroad.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12- We have a lot of tourists - from North America, Canada, Germany.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- This year, - I've been in Berlin, Shanghai.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I'm going to Los Angeles - later in the year.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I'm meeting the companies - who need...
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- ..we say they need - to bring more tourists to Wales.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- It's important that we meet them - and encourage them to come.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- We still organize tours - for local people within Wales.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- We work with groups - like Merched y Wawr, maybe...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- ..or the Urdd and the YFC - to organize things for them.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- I see these girls working here.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Are they here full-time?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- Yes, we have Karolina, - Gemma and Cerys.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- They have language skills, - which is crucial these days...
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- ..given our target market.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Cerys speaks German, - Gemma speaks French.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14- Karolina is from Lithuania - and she speaks Russian and Polish.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- And it's also true that you both - have wives from abroad.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18- This is stronger than I'm used to.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- This is stronger than I'm used to.- - Did you have sugar in it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21- I think I did.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50- We organized a trip to the wedding - for family and friends.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- The 30 who came out - to the wedding in Argentina...

0:12:57 > 0:13:02- My wife - was a barrister in Argentina.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03- Was she?
0:13:03 > 0:13:09- When she moved over here, - she couldn't do that.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- We needed a way for her - to maintain a link with Argentina.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- While we're on the subject, - how did you meet her? Through work?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- No, a very modern way. Online.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- No, a very modern way. Online.- - Online?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- I was trying to learn Spanish, - she was trying to learn English.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29- Yes.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- She speaks a lot of Welsh now.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- She does. I can't say anything, - she understands everything!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- What are the children called?
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Mari, Iago and Ioan - speak three languages, of course.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46- Welsh, English and Spanish.
0:13:48 > 0:13:48- .
0:13:52 > 0:13:52- Subtitles
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- He's also part of an ambitious - and innovative project...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- ..offering temporary - rural accommodation.
0:14:03 > 0:14:09- These pods are located - for the time being near Tywyn...
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- ..in a very pretty spot - near Castell y Bere.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- This is Epic Retreats, an idea - that's a bit outside the box.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- We as Cambria Tours - came up with the idea...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- ..along with Best Of Wales...
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- ..and George & Thomas - architects in Machynlleth...
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- ..to do something different - in the Wales Year of Legends.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- The character of each pod - is different.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I haven't seen the others close up, - but I could like this one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Explain it to me.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Does this rotate or what?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- The bed inside rotates.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- All the pods are mobile.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- The idea is that the whole camp...
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- ..will move from place to place - around Wales during the coming year.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- We call it pop-up accommodation.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Pop-up boutique hotels, - with a manager always on site...
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- ..and people will come in to change - the bed linen and to cook breakfast.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- This is some pop-up!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Where did the idea come from?
0:15:34 > 0:15:40- I think the partners and myself - had a chat about a year ago.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- I'm sure it was over a pint, - but this idea came up.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- We knew that 2017 - was the Visit Wales Year of Legends.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- We wanted to create - something completely different.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- This has now featured in newspapers - in Australia and North America.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- It isn't just these units - that sell the package.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- You wake up in the morning - to the magnificent Welsh scenery.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- That's something we do have.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- They tell us to diversify, - do something different.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- What could be better?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I feel different now - than when I came into the field...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- ..and saw that big sauce bottle!
0:16:27 > 0:16:28- What if it's windy?!
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- But it's great.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- When these are located elsewhere, - will they be closer together?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37- It depends on the site.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39- It does depend on the site.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- A lot of people like to go off - on romantic weekends nowadays.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- These are ideal, I'd suggest.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- As long as we point the windows - the right way, they'd work!
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- The first thing you want - for a romantic weekend are curtains!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- No, they're great.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- They really are, honest now.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Back in Aberystwyth...
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- ..I've been invited - to visit Dafydd at the surgery.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- I've been here countless times...
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- ..but this time, they might see me - in the same room as a cat.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- Here we are.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- It's not sleeping yet.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- I want help to hold a puppy!
0:17:30 > 0:17:31- I won't come closer.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- This is closer - than I've been in years.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- What's wrong with it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- I only want a quick look.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Can't you do that - with the door closed?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Come here now.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- There we are.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- Oops.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Come on, come and say hello.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- It's a pretty one.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51- It's a pretty one.- - Yes, it is.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- It's well-fed and it looks good.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57- Does it pass the test?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58- Does it pass the test?- - You can put it back now.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Everything seems OK.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Put it back then.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05- Put it back then.- - In we go.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- You never know - what will come in next.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- The work varies - from day to day, obviously.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- You just take what comes.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- As one of the directors, - you're here every day.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- But your wife works here as well.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- Yes, she works part-time here - and also looks after the children.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Yes, she works here.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- She's more cats and dogs, - I'm more farms and horses.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- But as a practice, - we have to be able...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- ..to deal with whatever - comes through the door.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- But we all have our own interests.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- Because there are a lot of us, - we can all follow our noses.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- I daren't say at home that I've been - in the same room as a cat.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- I'll meet you outside, - in case that gets out.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- Dai, this is Diane.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- Hello there.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- How are you?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Very well. How are you?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Very well. How are you?- - I hear you're learning Welsh.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- A little, very slowly.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- The children speak Welsh.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Yes, better than me.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Yes, better than me.- - I wouldn't say that.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Where did you two meet?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- At work?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- At work?- - Yes, in New Zealand.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- We went a long way to meet, yes.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- We moved to work in the same place - and that's how we met.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- It was nice to see you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Keep learning Welsh.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- You're doing well.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47- You're doing well.- - Thank you very much.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Back we go to where Aled grew up.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- His upbringing is a big part - of who he is today.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- He has vivid memories - of growing up on the family farm.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11- Pencwm Uchaf is my first home, - where I was raised over the years.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- I lived here until I was 23.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15- I lived here until I was 23.- - Did you really?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- My roots are here, and I have - happy memories of the place.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- And my late mother, of course.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- We lost her a couple of years ago.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Far too soon, a young woman - who had worked hard.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Mam was the mainstay of the family.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39- There was food on the table - whenever Dad had finished milking.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- She took us to and from school...
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- ..and kept everything going - while Dad worked the farm.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- She milked herself - until she was 50, I'm sure.
0:20:53 > 0:20:59- I'm very proud - to have called Priscilla Mam.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- The influences of the past remain, - even at Siop y Pethe.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- When Gwilym and Megan - sold the shop to Aled and Dafydd...
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- ..the vision - was safe in their hands.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- There isn't much room here.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- But I'd like to see people - popping in and out and chatting.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- They're welcome to linger.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- It's more than a place to buy, - it's a place to meet.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- They were supportive from the start.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- We've been lucky - to have taken over from them.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- They were here so long - and made it a household name.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- It's nice to take over, in a way.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- This was their life, wasn't it?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- They were very happy - that we wanted to keep it going.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Not just the shop but the name too.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- The support we've had - from everyone has been incredible.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- We couldn't have asked - for better support.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Everyone has been so positive.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10- We took the shop over, changed it - as well, but kept the ethos...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- ..of what Gwilym and Megan - built up over the years.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- It's an ideal place to sit and chat.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- Very comfortable.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- This serves its purpose.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- We wanted somewhere - where people could meet.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30- Somewhere they felt they could - come and sit if the weather was bad.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- A place to have a cuppa or to rest.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- We wanted that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- For anyone who knows Aberystwyth, - it's somewhere...
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- I always used to say, - "I'll meet you by Siop y Pethe."
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- No-one ever meets - by Barclays or Boots.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- They meet here.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49- They meet here.- - Yes, by Siop y Pethe.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Now, I tell people, - "I'll meet you in Siop y Pethe!"
