-a special milestone...

0:01:290:01:32

-..in the history of one of the most

-famous male voice choirs in Wales.

0:01:330:01:38

-Good evening from Treorchy

-in the Rhondda Valley.

0:01:420:01:46

-It's rehearsal night

-for the Treorchy Male Choir.

0:01:460:01:49

-It has an incredible history.

0:01:490:01:51

-This year, marks 70 years

-since the choir reformed.

0:01:520:01:55

-Come with me to find out more.

0:01:560:01:57

-# Great providence of heaven

0:01:580:02:01

-# So wonderful it is

0:02:020:02:05

-# This plenteous exposition

0:02:050:02:09

-# Of God's purpose #

0:02:090:02:13

-It's believed that a local pub

-had a choir in 1883.

0:02:130:02:17

-It sang Myfanwy in an Eisteddfod

-and won the prize of 1.

0:02:170:02:22

-This marked the start

-of the first Treorchy Male Choir.

0:02:220:02:26

-# Of his counsel #

0:02:260:02:28

-In October 1946, the choir reformed

-marking a new direction...

0:02:290:02:34

-..under the baton of a local

-conductor called John Haydn Davies.

0:02:340:02:39

-# Is in his hand #

0:02:390:02:43

-I've been conducting the choir

-for three years.

0:02:430:02:48

-The choir has enjoyed much success

-in recent years.

0:02:480:02:53

-The Treorchy Male Choir

-was the first Welsh choir...

0:02:530:02:57

-..to sing at the Sydney Opera House.

0:02:570:02:59

-We've returned four times

-and filled it each time.

0:02:590:03:03

-The choir sang at the Hotel De Paris

-in Monaco for Prince Albert...

0:03:030:03:09

-..and at the Centenary

-Commemoration Services...

0:03:090:03:13

-..for Mametz Wood

-in Northern France.

0:03:130:03:16

-# Through all

-the troubling affairs #

0:03:160:03:20

-Islwyn, congratulations as

-you've been a member for 70 years.

0:03:200:03:24

-Yes, thank you very much for that.

0:03:250:03:27

-What makes the choir

-so special for you?

0:03:270:03:30

-I've always enjoyed singing.

0:03:300:03:32

-Without coming here,

-my life would have been empty.

0:03:320:03:36

-We were four brothers in this choir

-but I'm the only one left.

0:03:370:03:41

-The others have passed

-as I'm the baby of the family.

0:03:410:03:46

-# Its greatest perplexity, is #

0:03:460:03:50

-If we weren't part

-of the Treorchy Male Choir...

0:03:500:03:53

-..we wouldn't have met

-Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey...

0:03:530:03:57

-..or sung with Ella Fitzgerald

-and Julie Andrews.

0:03:570:04:01

-We shared the stage with

-Cliff Richard and Ozzy Osbourne...

0:04:010:04:05

-..and sung for the Royal Family

-many times.

0:04:050:04:10

-I was walking on the streets in 1947

-on the main road...

0:04:100:04:15

-..all by myself...

0:04:150:04:17

-..and I heard this glorious sound

-coming from the school.

0:04:170:04:21

-I thought it sounded alright...

0:04:210:04:24

-..so I walked in...

0:04:250:04:26

-..and I haven't walked out since!

0:04:260:04:29

-# Amen, Amen

0:04:290:04:34

-# Amen, Amen #

0:04:340:04:36

-We're just amateurs...

0:04:370:04:38

-..but we sing and rehearse a lot...

0:04:390:04:42

-..and are a great success

-as a male voice choir.

0:04:430:04:47

-# A-a-a-men #

0:04:470:04:53

-Good luck to the choir

-for the next 70 years!

0:04:580:05:03

-The Welsh Language Commissioner

-does important work.

0:05:030:05:07

-The commissioner ensures...

0:05:070:05:09

-..that companies give the language

-an equal status and respect.

0:05:100:05:15

-The commissioner's

-latest campaign...

0:05:150:05:18

-..is to promote the use of Welsh

-in our supermarkets.

0:05:180:05:23

-Meri Huws visited the Heno studio

-last week...

0:05:230:05:26

-..to explain it all to Llinos Lee.

0:05:260:05:29

-Today, we published a report

-that focuses on supermarkets.

0:05:290:05:35

-We all visit supermarkets whether

-you love shopping or hate it!

0:05:350:05:40

-We've been working with the

-supermarkets for quite a while...

0:05:400:05:45

-..and looked at signage, marketing

-material and self-service tills.

0:05:450:05:50

-They asked us if people

-really notice any of it.

0:05:500:05:54

-Is it important to people?

0:05:540:05:56

-We asked 1,000 people

-if it was important to them...

0:05:560:06:00

-..and the message they get about the

-importance of using the language.

0:06:010:06:06

-The message to us

-and the supermarkets was very clear.

0:06:060:06:09

-People feel it's very important

-for supermarkets to use Welsh.

0:06:100:06:14

-They want to see signage everywhere

-and not just in a few shops.

0:06:140:06:18

-They want to hear the language.

0:06:180:06:20

-More importantly,

-they want the staff to speak Welsh.

0:06:210:06:24

-We'll chat again in a moment.

0:06:250:06:27

-Our cameras were at the

-Senedd building for the launch.

0:06:280:06:31

-We asked representatives

-from the supermarkets...

0:06:320:06:37

-..to listen to the report

-and welcome it.

0:06:370:06:40

-Love them or hate them.

0:06:520:06:54

-Supermarkets are a part

-of our daily lives.

0:06:550:06:59

-We asked a cross-section

-of 1,000 people from across Wales.

0:07:000:07:04

-This was supported

-by the views of the public...

0:07:050:07:08

-..at the Royal Welsh Show,

-on our website and via Twitter.

0:07:080:07:12

-This gave the report

-a bit more meat!

0:07:120:07:16

-We understand the importance of

-the Welsh language in communities.

0:07:160:07:21

-This formal research showed

-what our customers thought.

0:07:210:07:26

-It was great to be invited today.

0:07:260:07:28

-We're a UK retailer but the Co-Op

-has over 160 stores in Wales.

0:07:290:07:33

-The communities around us

-are really important.

0:07:340:07:37

-If those communities are bilingual

-or speak Welsh, we need to get that.

0:07:370:07:42

-There's been an increasing demand.

0:07:430:07:45

-People are more confident to ask

-for their legal services in Welsh.

0:07:460:07:50

-It's important for people to get

-advice in their mother tongue...

0:07:500:07:55

-..and feel comfortable

-to ask for it.

0:07:550:07:58

-A surprising finding was the

-positive attitude of young people...

0:07:580:08:03

-..to the supermarkets' use

-of the language.

0:08:030:08:06

-People aged between 16 and 34...

0:08:060:08:08

-..were more supportive

-than the rest of the population.

0:08:080:08:13

-Boots staff wear badges showing

-their names and if they speak Welsh.

0:08:130:08:18

-Our customers, especially the

-elderly who collect prescriptions...

0:08:190:08:23

-..feel it's important

-to be able to converse in Welsh.

0:08:240:08:27

-In the Co-Op, we've increased

-our product range dramatically.

0:08:280:08:32

-We've got 23 Welsh ales and looking

-at our own brand milk being Welsh.

0:08:320:08:37

-With the Welsh products, you get

-Welsh language on the packaging.

0:08:380:08:42

-The self-service tills in some

-of our shops can be used in Welsh.

0:08:420:08:48

-They will be easy to use

-in the Welsh language.

0:08:480:08:53

-This research is very powerful...

0:08:540:08:57

-..and educates people on the values

-of the language and make use of it.

0:08:570:09:02

-Those were some positive responses.

0:09:070:09:10

-We asked our viewers and they

-responded on Facebook and Twitter.

0:09:100:09:15

-We asked: what are your experiences

-of the use of Welsh in supermarkets?

0:09:160:09:21

-Your responses

-will appear on the screen.

0:09:210:09:24

-Meri has read the responses

-of our viewers.

0:09:240:09:28

-What did you think?

0:09:280:09:30

-I'm glad you asked the question

-as it strengthens our evidence.

0:09:300:09:34

-People feel strongly

-and want to see the language.

0:09:350:09:38

-They know when the service

-isn't good enough.

0:09:380:09:41

-We can convey that message

-to the supermarkets.

0:09:410:09:45

-It needs to be done well

-and consistent in Wales...

0:09:450:09:48

-..and it should be taken seriously.

0:09:490:09:52

-The supermarkets responded today but

-need to live up to their promises.

0:09:520:09:58

-It's very positive

-as they acknowledge the issue...

0:09:580:10:02

-..but what can you do...

0:10:020:10:04

-..to make them have Welsh signage

-and stock more Welsh produce?

0:10:040:10:10

-I don't have any legal powers

-unlike local authorities.

0:10:110:10:15

-But there are strong powers

-of persuasion to be had.

0:10:150:10:19

-We did this to prove

-that the demand is high.

0:10:190:10:22

-We can advise them...

0:10:220:10:23

-..but the responsibility

-lies on their shoulders.

0:10:230:10:27

-There's a demand for this in Wales.

0:10:270:10:30

-We can advise

-but they need to implement it.

0:10:310:10:34

-Will the Welsh Language Commissioner

-work with these large businesses?

0:10:350:10:39

-We will work with them individually

-whilst also uniting them.

0:10:400:10:45

-It forces them

-to look over their shoulders...

0:10:450:10:48

-..to compare their stores

-with the shop down the road!

0:10:480:10:52

-We'll work with them as a sector...

0:10:520:10:55

-..and the Retail Consortium

-in Wales.

0:10:550:10:59

-I live in Barry and the CoOp is

-supportive of the Welsh language.

0:10:590:11:04

-There's Welsh language signage in

-Barry which is wonderful to see...

0:11:040:11:09

-..but what if the

-company headquarters is in England?

0:11:090:11:13

-How do they respond to you on this?

0:11:130:11:16

-That is one of the reasons

-for doing the research.

0:11:160:11:20

-People in Wales

-saw and understood the issues...

0:11:200:11:23

-..but the bosses in London

-didn't understand it.

0:11:230:11:27

-They asked for evidence

-and information...

0:11:270:11:30

-..that could be used...

0:11:300:11:31

-..to persuade their bosses

-to invest in bilingual signage.

0:11:320:11:37

-That was why we did the research.

0:11:380:11:40

-It should influence

-the people in London.

0:11:410:11:44

-I've visited

-many people in London myself...

0:11:440:11:47

-..to influence them and

-show them Wales is changing...

0:11:470:11:51

-..and that using the language

-is beneficial.

0:11:510:11:54

-Good luck to the commissioner

-with her important work.

0:11:550:12:00

-It's competition time.

0:12:000:12:02

-You can win either a television or

-iPad in our photography competition.

0:12:030:12:08

-These are the details.

0:12:080:12:10

-We are in the grips

-of winter's cold weather.

0:12:100:12:13

-The Ice Queen

-leaves her mark everywhere.

0:12:130:12:16

-The light is perfect to take

-that great, seasonal photo.

0:12:160:12:21

-Venture out with your camera

-and show us your winter.

0:12:210:12:25

-There's an iPad or television

-for our winner.

0:12:250:12:29

-You have until midday on 24 February

-to take part.

0:12:290:12:33

0:12:330:12:35

-Good luck to you.

0:12:530:12:55

-Yes, a very good luck to you all.

0:13:000:13:02

-In the second part

-of today's programme...

0:13:020:13:06

-..we visit a famous pyjama factory

-in Bala.

0:13:060:13:10

-They have mad pyjamas for one of

-the much-loved characters of Wales.

0:13:100:13:16

-Rhodri Gomer has tips on staying

-safe when running in the dark.

0:13:170:13:22

-Soup graces the menu

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

0:13:220:13:26

-Don't move a muscle!

-Welcome back.

0:13:410:13:42

-The Mudiad Meithrin is celebrating

-an important milestone this year...

0:13:420:13:47

-..and is preparing for a huge party.

0:13:470:13:50

-It all started in Bala last week.

0:13:500:13:54

-It's an important year

-as the Mudiad Meithrin group is 45.

0:14:040:14:10

-We had to think of ways

-to mark the milestone...

0:14:100:14:14

-..so plan to hold the world's

-biggest pyjama party on 9 May.

0:14:140:14:20

-We had a slight problem...

0:14:210:14:23

-..as our mascot, Dewin didn't have

-any suitable pyjamas for the day.

0:14:230:14:28

-We held a competition

-in the nurseries of Wales...

0:14:290:14:33

-..and the winning design

-was by Bethan...

0:14:330:14:36

-..from Terrig School

-at Treuddyn in Flintshire.

0:14:360:14:40

-She's at the nursery today

-to receive her own pair of pyjamas.

0:14:400:14:46

-This is the winning design

-by Bethan Williams.

0:14:470:14:51

-Congratulations to you.

0:14:520:14:54

-Bethan used a hole punch

-to make the circles.

0:14:540:14:58

-And you love glitter, don't you?

0:14:580:15:00

-And you love glitter, don't you?

-

-It's gold.

0:15:000:15:02

-This pair that she's wearing

-is her own unique pair.

0:15:020:15:06

-She looks lovely and will be the

-only one in them so it's amazing.

0:15:070:15:12

-It's one thing to organize

-the world's biggest pyjama party...

0:15:220:15:26

-..but where do you get

-all the pyjamas?

0:15:260:15:29

-Aykroyd and Sons in Bala

-stepped up to the mark.

0:15:290:15:32

-How did you get involved in it?

0:15:330:15:35

-I saw the advert on Twitter

-that Dewin needed pyjamas.

0:15:350:15:40

-I contacted Gwenllian

-from Mudiad Meithrin.

0:15:400:15:44

-I said that we wanted

-to get involved in the scheme.

0:15:440:15:47

-How many pyjamas will you produce?

0:15:470:15:49

-How many pyjamas will you produce?

-

-It will be over 1,000.

0:15:490:15:51

-Ollie is perfect model

-for the pyjamas.

0:15:520:15:55

-He looks wonderful in it.

0:15:550:15:57

-He looks wonderful in it.

-

-Yes, and there's a cape on the back.

0:15:570:16:00

-It's been a wonderful day

-and we're excited about 9 May.

0:16:020:16:08

-It's 1 a head to take part.

0:16:080:16:11

-You can give that to your local

-nursery or via Mudiad Meithrin.

0:16:110:16:15

-The important thing...

0:16:150:16:17

-..is to wear your pyjamas

-to nursery, school or work on 9 May.

0:16:180:16:22

-Don't forget

-that important date of 9 May.

0:16:300:16:34

-Do you enjoy running?

0:16:340:16:36

-Do you go running in the morning

-or at night?

0:16:360:16:40

-Rhodri Gomer

-has some important advice for you.

0:16:400:16:44

-Running at night can be fun,

-exciting and rewarding.

0:16:470:16:52

-But it can also be terrifying

-and dangerous...

0:16:530:16:56

-..so this is what you need to know

-when you're running in the dark.

0:16:560:17:01

-You need to be visible

-from every angle.

0:17:060:17:09

-If you want to survive

-then you need to be visible.

0:17:090:17:14

-A high-visibility vest costs

-next to nothing in a sports shop...

0:17:140:17:18

-..and reflective straps ensure

-you're seen from every direction.

0:17:190:17:24

-The head torch costs very little

-but it could save your life.

0:17:280:17:34

-It illuminates your route

-and makes you visible to others.

0:17:340:17:38

-At this time of year

-and after dusk in general...

0:17:430:17:46

-..the temperature does fall

-so wear plenty of layers.

0:17:460:17:50

-Accidents can happen so carry

-a mobile phone when out running...

0:17:520:17:57

-..so you can make calls

-in an emergency.

0:17:570:18:00

-That leads me on nicely

-to my next point.

0:18:010:18:03

-The Find My Friends app

-is excellent.

0:18:040:18:06

-It uses GPS to share your location

-with friends.

0:18:060:18:12

-Run on roads and pavements

-that are well lit.

0:18:130:18:18

-Tell a responsible adult about

-your route and when you'll be back.

0:18:180:18:24

-The final and most important thing

-is to join a running group...

0:18:240:18:29

-..like the Run Bont group

-at Pontarddulais.

0:18:290:18:32

-Hello!

0:18:320:18:33

-Tell me why you joined this group.

0:18:360:18:41

-I wanted to stay fit...

0:18:410:18:44

-..meet new people

-and do something on a Monday.

0:18:440:18:48

-Is it difficult to come out

-at this time of year?

0:18:480:18:51

-Yes, because everything is dark

-in the winter...

0:18:520:18:55

-..and the nights close in early.

0:18:550:18:58

-It's great and a lot of fun

-when there's a gang of you.

0:18:590:19:04

-Where are we going tonight?

0:19:050:19:06

-Where are we going tonight?

-

-Around Bont!

0:19:060:19:08

-Come on then!

0:19:080:19:10

-This group was formed by

-the local girl, Lauren Piercey...

0:19:110:19:16

-..with the support

-of the Run Wales programme.

0:19:160:19:19

-The data about adults

-who exercise in Wales...

0:19:190:19:23

-..shows that 14% run regularly.

0:19:230:19:27

-Run Wales

-has over 70 community groups...

0:19:270:19:31

-..who go out running

-in our communities.

0:19:310:19:34

-They are groups of ladies,

-families or mixed groups.

0:19:350:19:38

-Running is growing

-more and more in popularity.

0:19:390:19:43

-Where did you hear about this group?

0:19:430:19:45

-Lauren started a new group

-on Facebook and it came from there.

0:19:460:19:52

-I belong to another similar group

-so it's mainly word of mouth.

0:19:520:19:58

-Social media is a great way

-to find groups in your area.

0:19:590:20:05

-Another option

-is to contact Run Wales.

0:20:060:20:11

-If there isn't a group in your area,

-why not form one yourself?

0:20:110:20:15

-It's a great way to keep fit

-and socialize.

0:20:150:20:19

-Start a running club in your area.

0:20:230:20:26

-It looks like a lot of fun.

0:20:260:20:28

-This morning, we've got cawl or soup

-from the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

0:20:280:20:33

-Before Lisa Fearn starts cooking...

0:20:330:20:35

-..what's our viewers'

-favourite soup?

0:20:360:20:38

-What's your favourite type of soup?

0:20:390:20:42

-Um, leek and potato.

0:20:420:20:46

-Why?

0:20:460:20:47

-Why?

-

-Because it's tasty!

0:20:470:20:49

-My first choice is always cawl.

0:20:490:20:52

-Cawl or something with vegetables.

0:20:530:20:56

-Chicken and pumpkin.

0:20:560:20:57

-Leek...

0:20:580:20:59

-No, I've changed my mind.

0:20:590:21:01

-It's curried parsnip

-as I can make it myself.

0:21:010:21:05

-It has to be tomato

-because I like tomatoes!

0:21:060:21:10

-Vegetable or cawl with everything.

0:21:120:21:14

-Carrot and coriander

-because it's full of flavour.

0:21:150:21:20

-What's your favourite soup?

0:21:200:21:21

-What's your favourite soup?

-

-I don't like soup!

0:21:210:21:23

-For years, I would only ever eat

-Cock-a-leekie soup and nothing else.

0:21:250:21:31

-I'd eat anything now.

0:21:310:21:33

-My favourite is French Onion soup...

0:21:330:21:35

-..with the bread and cheese on top.

0:21:360:21:38

-Soup is fashionable again.

0:21:380:21:40

-People make their own as opposed

-to buying packed or canned soup.

0:21:400:21:45

-It's quite easy too.

0:21:450:21:47

-It's very easy

-but people are afraid of making it.

0:21:470:21:50

-Like me!

0:21:510:21:51

-Like me!

-

-Pay attention today.

0:21:510:21:54

-I'm going to call it soup

-because cawl is the Welsh dish.

0:21:550:21:59

-Cawl is a lobscouse.

0:21:590:22:01

-I made a lobscouse last night.

0:22:010:22:03

-Did you really?

0:22:040:22:05

-Did you really?

-

-Yes, in my slow cooker.

0:22:050:22:08

-Cawl is cawl and soup is soup

-in South Wales!

0:22:080:22:13

-The base of any soup

-is some sort of onion or a leek.

0:22:130:22:18

-I'm using a regular, white onion.

0:22:190:22:21

-I fry the onion at the start because

-it allows it to caramelize...

0:22:220:22:26

-..and it gives a depth of flavour.

0:22:270:22:29

-It isn't essential if you're short

-on time or using a slow cooker.

0:22:300:22:34

-By warming the onion, I feel as if

-the process starts a bit sooner.

0:22:350:22:40

-It's just habit.

0:22:410:22:43

-We all have our own ways.

0:22:430:22:45

-The onion is left to fry.

0:22:450:22:47

-We want to create flavour.

0:22:470:22:49

-This is so simple and you would use

-exactly the same process...

0:22:490:22:53

-..for watercress soup

-or carrot and coriander.

0:22:540:22:57

-You're using sweet potato.

0:22:580:22:59

-You're using sweet potato.

-

-Yes, sweet potato and carrot.

0:22:590:23:01

-The amount of each depends

-on what you have at home.

0:23:010:23:05

-I've chopped some garlic

-but it isn't essential.

0:23:060:23:10

-Does it matter

-if it's chopped finely or not?

0:23:110:23:14

-It should be quite fine.

0:23:140:23:16

-It will cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

0:23:160:23:19

-Remove the skin and chop it.

0:23:190:23:23

-The soup takes on more of the garlic

-flavour if it's chopped very finely.

0:23:230:23:28

-Add the garlic to the onions.

0:23:280:23:31

-I've also got some ginger.

0:23:310:23:33

-I've shown you how to cut down

-on any wastage before.

0:23:330:23:36

-Rub the side of a spoon

-against the ginger...

0:23:360:23:41

-..and it removes the skin

-without causing any wastage.

0:23:410:23:46

-I told you earlier

-that I had some ginger.

0:23:460:23:49

-I chopped off a large piece...

0:23:490:23:51

-..but had to cut off the skin too

-and there was a lot of wastage.

0:23:520:23:56

-Another way to prepare the ginger

-and the garlic is to grate it.

0:23:560:24:01

-Don't remove the skin.

0:24:010:24:02

-The skin should stay on one side

-and the flesh will be on the other.

0:24:030:24:08

-It's strong

-and isn't to everyone's taste.

0:24:090:24:13

-You don't need it.

0:24:130:24:14

-No, but then it wouldn't be

-a sweet potato and ginger soup!

0:24:140:24:18

-You'd have to change its title.

0:24:200:24:22

-You can change it to

-a sweet potato and coriander soup.

0:24:220:24:26

-The possibilities are endless.

0:24:260:24:28

-Next, we add the sweet potato

-and the carrot.

0:24:290:24:33

-How many sweet potato did you add?

0:24:340:24:35

-How many sweet potato did you add?

-

-I'd say two or three.

0:24:350:24:37

-They do vary in size so aim

-for about 400g of sweet potato.

0:24:370:24:42

-You've chopped them into batons

-or fingers.

0:24:430:24:46

-Change the ratio if you only have

-one potato but a pack of carrots.

0:24:460:24:50

-You're the boss

-when you're cooking at home.

0:24:510:24:54

-This is left to simmer

-until everything is ready.

0:24:540:24:59

-Next, I've left one in here too long

-so it can come out.

0:25:000:25:05

-Let's get rid of that.

0:25:050:25:07

-I've chopped

-the sweet potato finely.

0:25:070:25:10

-Everybody is serving

-sweet potato fries.

0:25:110:25:14

-They are popular.

0:25:140:25:15

-Yes, but they are delicious and

-healthier than a normal potato.

0:25:160:25:20

-Unfortunately,

-they are a bit more expensive.

0:25:200:25:24

-Here's some I made earlier.

0:25:240:25:26

-Those are like chips.

0:25:270:25:28

-Those are like chips.

-

-Yes, that's right.

0:25:280:25:30

-If your child

-doesn't like colourful food...

0:25:300:25:33

-..such as carrot and sweet potato...

0:25:340:25:36

-..make chips

-as they all look the same colour!

0:25:360:25:39

-You should season it

-with some salt and pepper.

0:25:400:25:45

-I'm ready to serve it.

0:25:450:25:47

-You don't need to do this but

-it adds even more depth of flavour.

0:25:470:25:51

-After cooking, you used the

-hand blender to make a smooth soup.

0:25:510:25:56

-Was that milk or cream?

0:25:570:25:59

-Was that milk or cream?

-

-It was coconut milk.

0:25:590:26:03

-You can use cream

-or a splash of milk.

0:26:030:26:07

-We want to create

-a good impression...

0:26:080:26:11

-..so we'll serve it in a cup

-as opposed to a bowl.

0:26:110:26:15

-I like it in the cups too.

0:26:160:26:18

-This is a thick soup

-so you don't need too much.

0:26:180:26:22

-Add some of the chips on top.

0:26:220:26:24

-We'll try those in a moment.

0:26:240:26:27

-Thank you, Lisa.

0:26:270:26:28

-You can see any of today's items

-again on Clic or the iPlayer.

0:26:290:26:35

-It's time for a quick break.

0:26:350:26:37

-In the next part of the programme...

0:26:380:26:40

-..we meet an incredible man

-from Llandybie.

0:26:410:26:44

-Basil Smith has just celebrated

-his 96th birthday...

0:26:440:26:49

-..and still plays tennis!

0:26:490:26:51

-Huw has some high street fashion.

0:26:510:26:55

-We also visit Glynllifon

-Agricultural College...

0:26:550:26:59

-..who have put Fitbits

-on their cattle.

0:27:000:27:03

-Yes, you heard correctly.

0:27:030:27:05

-Fitbits on cattle!

0:27:050:27:07

-Join me in a few minutes.

0:27:220:27:23

-Next, we visit

-Swansea Tennis Club...

0:27:230:27:26

-..to meet one of the world's

-oldest tennis players.

0:27:260:27:30

-This story

-is sure to make you smile.

0:27:300:27:33

-Basil Smith is a real character.

0:27:340:27:36

-I've been playing tennis

-for 90 years.

0:27:460:27:49

-I started playing in 1927.

0:27:500:27:54

-I'm 90 and still playing tennis.

0:27:540:27:56

-How did you get into tennis?

0:27:560:27:59

-I'd hit a ball against the house

-in Ffairfach near Llandeilo.

0:27:590:28:04

-Why do you enjoy tennis?

0:28:100:28:12

-I forget everything.

0:28:120:28:14

-I forget all my troubles

-and everything.

0:28:140:28:18

-Time passes so quickly.

0:28:180:28:20

-Two hours just fly by.

0:28:200:28:21

-I can't believe it.

0:28:220:28:23

-Basil is a lovely man

-and amazing opponent.

0:28:260:28:29

-He tells us what to do

-and where to stand.

0:28:290:28:33

-He is great.

0:28:330:28:35

-He's my inspiration.

0:28:350:28:37

-I hope I'm playing tennis at 96.

0:28:370:28:41

-How often do you exercise?

0:28:410:28:44

-I do a half an hour routine in the

-morning and the same in the evening.

0:28:440:28:48

-What do you do?

0:28:490:28:50

-I do some of these.

0:28:500:28:51

-And this.

0:28:520:28:53

-I raise my legs and do some kicks.

0:28:530:28:57

-I touch the floor

-without bending my knees.

0:28:580:29:03

-Keep your legs straight.

0:29:030:29:05

-He's a very exuberant character.

0:29:100:29:12

-For someone that age to be playing

-reasonably good tennis.

0:29:120:29:16

-People ask if I'll be playing tennis

-in my nineties.

0:29:170:29:20

-At 95, tremendous.

0:29:200:29:22

-At 81, I'm struggling.

0:29:220:29:25

-You must have a lot of fun

-playing tennis together.

0:29:270:29:31

-Yes, and he knows all my weaknesses.

0:29:310:29:35

-He makes me run from one side

-to the other with all his lobbing.

0:29:350:29:40

-He has all the skills

-and we all learn from him.

0:29:400:29:44

-We admire him tremendously.

0:29:440:29:48

-Let's see if Basil

-can teach me a thing or two.

0:29:500:29:55

-Hit!

0:29:580:30:00

-No, I'm not in the best of shape.

0:30:040:30:06

-One thing is certain when you see

-Basil on the tennis court.

0:30:070:30:11

-Everyone loves being in his company.

0:30:110:30:13

-I'm on a pedestal now

-with everyone below me.

0:30:140:30:17

-Autographs have gone up

-from 10 to 20!

0:30:180:30:23

-I definitely want his autograph.

0:30:340:30:37

-Next, there's some fashion

-with none-other-than Huw Fash!

0:30:370:30:42

-Sian, Carys and Delyth from Merched

-y Wawr have been our models today.

0:30:430:30:47

-Are they potential models?

0:30:470:30:50

-Every month, we're going to have

-models from Merched y Wawr.

0:30:500:30:54

-I might use them regularly!

0:30:550:30:56

-Can I point out one thing?

0:30:570:30:59

-Sian and I admit to having

-a piece of bara brith...

0:30:590:31:03

-..but we didn't clear the plate!

0:31:030:31:05

-Our floor manager, Mike Reynolds

-is on his fourth piece.

0:31:050:31:09

-It's delicious.

0:31:090:31:11

-It's delicious.

-

-Yes, I had a slice and so did you.

0:31:110:31:13

-No, I only had half a slice.

0:31:130:31:15

-I'm watching my carbs!

0:31:150:31:16

-Not that anyone's counting.

0:31:170:31:19

-I had a whole slice.

0:31:190:31:20

-Delyth is back on the catwalk.

0:31:210:31:23

-We can see

-that there's a mixture of patterns.

0:31:240:31:27

-I haven't even tried to get the

-two navy items to match in colour.

0:31:270:31:31

-The tones of navy do differ

-from one shop and label to the next.

0:31:310:31:37

-It's a very striking scarf.

0:31:380:31:40

-Many people wouldn't wear stars

-outside the Christmas period...

0:31:400:31:45

-..but stars are very popular

-at the moment.

0:31:450:31:48

-Louis Vuitton

-has used the design on bags.

0:31:480:31:51

-It's a sure sign

-that this will be a big theme.

0:31:510:31:54

-This one is from Accessorize.

0:31:540:31:56

-I've teamed it with a jacket

-from Marks and Spencer.

0:31:560:32:00

-I have to praise Marks and Spencer

-for their choice of jackets.

0:32:000:32:05

-They are reasonably priced

-and lightweight.

0:32:050:32:08

-This could be worn with jeans

-or white trousers in the summer.

0:32:080:32:14

-You can wear it anywhere.

0:32:140:32:16

-They have a lot of these styles

-of jacket in the shop.

0:32:160:32:19

-One clear sign of success...

0:32:200:32:22

-..is when people like the stock

-and it's practical.

0:32:220:32:26

-It's fine to get something

-to wear once...

0:32:260:32:29

-..but you wouldn't go back to a shop

-to buy something to wear once.

0:32:290:32:34

-Can you open the jacket, Delyth?

0:32:340:32:36

-This top is by Limited Edition

-which is more fashion forward.

0:32:360:32:41

-They study the catwalk for items

-to recreate for Marks and Spencer.

0:32:410:32:46

-This pretty jumper

-has frills on the front.

0:32:460:32:49

-Frills are everywhere!

0:32:490:32:52

-We looked at frilly sleeves

-last week...

0:32:520:32:55

-..and there's more frills to come.

0:32:550:32:58

-This top

-has quite conservative frills.

0:32:590:33:02

-It's teamed with

-navy slim fit trousers.

0:33:020:33:05

-We can also see the boots

-with the peep toe.

0:33:050:33:11

-It's a sure sign that the fine

-spring sunshine is on its way.

0:33:110:33:15

-I find it funny to wear boots but

-have your toes out in the rain.

0:33:150:33:19

-That's what you do

-if you want to be fashionable.

0:33:200:33:23

-You haven't heard this yet, Alun...

0:33:230:33:26

-..but she probably has a pair

-in her wardrobe.

0:33:260:33:29

-Thank you, Delyth.

0:33:300:33:31

-Our next model is Sian.

0:33:310:33:34

-We've returned to the world

-of the designers with Sian...

0:33:340:33:38

-..and Jasper Conran.

0:33:380:33:39

-Jasper Conran is one

-of those British designers...

0:33:400:33:43

-..who has always been around

-and is successful.

0:33:430:33:47

-One of his biggest successes...

0:33:470:33:49

-..was being one of the first

-designers to work with Debenhams.

0:33:500:33:55

-They chose to have

-a Designers at Debenhams range...

0:33:550:33:58

-..so this is a range...

0:33:590:34:00

-..that is inspired by

-the main Jasper Conran collection.

0:34:010:34:05

-It's a taster

-of the catwalk collection...

0:34:050:34:08

-..at only a tiny percentage

-of the cost.

0:34:090:34:13

-These are clothes

-that people want to wear.

0:34:140:34:16

-This jacket

-resembles the trench coat.

0:34:170:34:20

-Yesterday,

-I spoke about the duster coats.

0:34:200:34:23

-This is lightweight

-and doesn't have a lining.

0:34:230:34:27

-The jumper is interesting.

0:34:270:34:29

-Can you open the coat, Sian?

0:34:290:34:31

-This jumper is very clever.

0:34:310:34:33

-It draws the eye down the body

-thanks to the knot at the bottom.

0:34:330:34:38

-Your eyes are automatically

-drawn down the body.

0:34:380:34:41

-It's teamed with slim fit trousers.

0:34:410:34:44

-Sian likes the fit

-of these trousers.

0:34:440:34:47

-You can gauge a lot from what

-the models say about the clothes.

0:34:480:34:54

-Thank you, Sian.

0:34:540:34:56

-Finally, we have

-a very practical outfit for Carys.

0:34:560:35:01

-She has retired from teaching

-so she needs to have the rest!

0:35:010:35:06

-This is two pieces in one.

0:35:060:35:09

-It's a sweatshirt...

0:35:090:35:12

-..with the cuffs and

-bottom of a shirt attached to it.

0:35:120:35:18

-That's useful.

0:35:180:35:19

-You either love it...

0:35:190:35:22

-Oh, excuse me.

0:35:220:35:23

-You either love it or you prefer

-to have a separate jumper and shirt.

0:35:240:35:28

-The large cuffs are back in fashion.

0:35:280:35:31

-We've spoken about the importance

-of details on our sleeves...

0:35:310:35:37

-..and we can see that here.

0:35:370:35:38

-It's teamed with a white scarf.

0:35:390:35:41

-It stands out against the navy.

0:35:410:35:44

-We've also got a grey handbag

-and some grey shoes.

0:35:440:35:47

-I don't know if we'll see them.

0:35:480:35:50

-It's very practical.

0:35:500:35:52

-Yes, and you can just

-throw this one.

0:35:520:35:56

-It's simple but effective.

0:35:560:35:58

-And the models were brilliant.

0:35:580:36:00

-Yes, they were great.

0:36:010:36:02

-We'll see more ladies

-from Merched y Wawr soon.

0:36:020:36:06

-Thank you, Huw.

0:36:060:36:08

-Do you own a Fitbit?

0:36:080:36:10

-A Fitbit is a device

-that monitors your fitness.

0:36:100:36:14

-Glynllifon Agricultural College has

-invested in many of these devices.

0:36:140:36:19

-Let's hear the reason for it.

0:36:190:36:21

-It's an exciting project to place

-Fitbit-type gadgets on 20 cattle.

0:36:260:36:32

-We winter the cattle outdoors.

0:36:320:36:34

-Ten are brought into the shed

-behind me...

0:36:340:36:37

-..and ten feed outdoors on kale.

0:36:370:36:40

-We intend to assess the cow's

-fitness during the calving period.

0:36:400:36:45

-Those grazing outside and grazing

-on kale will move around a lot more.

0:36:450:36:51

-Over three years...

0:36:510:36:53

-..we want to measure the effect of

-labour intervention during calving.

0:36:540:36:58

-We also want to check the fitness of

-the cow and the health of the calf.

0:36:590:37:03

-Arloesi Gwynedd Wledig is piloting

-innovative projects across Gwynedd.

0:37:060:37:12

-We aim to increase the technology

-that's used in farming...

0:37:120:37:16

-..and to make farming easier

-for farmers now and in the future.

0:37:170:37:21

-There is an event

-at Glynllifon College next week.

0:37:210:37:25

-Farmers can share their experiences

-and offer ideas for the future.

0:37:260:37:31

-It has been very busy

-on the farm today.

0:37:330:37:36

-We have been placing the gadgets

-on the front legs of the cows.

0:37:360:37:40

-Over the next three years...

0:37:410:37:43

-..we hope the students will benefit

-from the data that we collect.

0:37:430:37:48

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing the results of that data.

0:37:560:38:00

-That's all for now.

0:38:000:38:02

-In the final part

-of the programme...

0:38:030:38:05

-..I learn about Gwyl Gymraeg

-Ystradgynlais that starts on Friday.

0:38:050:38:10

-Daf Wyn visits Whitland...

0:38:110:38:13

-..as its Post Office

-closes for the final time.

0:38:140:38:17

-Arwel Lloyd also sings

-Y Gwr o Gwm Penmachno.

0:38:170:38:21

-See you in a few minutes.

0:38:210:38:23

-# He searched for love

-at the Young Farmers' Club

0:38:310:38:35

-# He travelled the land

-but was unlucky

0:38:360:38:39

-# So back he went with his tail

-between his legs

0:38:400:38:43

-# He wasn't going to beg #

-..to hear about the festival that

-the town is hosting next weekend.

0:39:040:39:09

-The Gwyl Gymraeg Ystradgynlais...

-on the Saturday.

0:39:220:39:24

-There's also a Welsh produce fair

-on the Saturday.

0:39:250:39:28

-It's an exciting weekend

-for Ystradgynlais.

0:39:280:39:32

-# You and I

0:39:320:39:34

-# You and I #

0:39:340:39:37

-We've got the Three Welsh Tenors,

-Bronwen Lewis and Steff Alun...

0:39:370:39:43

-..and an array of local acts.

0:39:430:39:46

-The Musicals Gala

-stars Peter Karrie...

0:39:460:39:50

-..and it's presented by Toni Caroll.

0:39:500:39:53

-There's more local artists

-and other performers...

0:39:530:39:58

-..and local schools

-have formed a united choir.

0:39:580:40:02

-It's great to have something

-like this on our own doorstep.

0:40:020:40:07

-It's wonderful to have artists who

-perform in the medium of Welsh...

0:40:070:40:12

-..so it's very exciting.

0:40:120:40:14

-It inspires people like myself

-to listen to Welsh music...

0:40:140:40:19

-..and it's an opportunity

-to meet others in the community...

0:40:190:40:24

-..who either speak Welsh

-as their first language...

0:40:240:40:28

-..or are Welsh learners.

0:40:280:40:31

-It's earned the status of an event

-that promotes the Welsh language.

0:40:310:40:36

-We welcome a host

-of Welsh learners...

0:40:370:40:39

-..people in Ystradgynlais

-and those in the wider vicinity.

0:40:390:40:44

-There's plenty of tickets

-available from the Welfare Hall.

0:40:450:40:49

-The telephone numbers are on

-all our marketing material...

0:40:500:40:54

-..so getting tickets

-shouldn't be a problem.

0:40:550:40:58

-# You and I #

0:40:580:41:00

-Good luck to the festival.

0:41:100:41:12

-The news often has stories of

-local shops closing across Wales.

0:41:120:41:18

-Last week, it was the end of an era

-for the village of Whitland...

0:41:180:41:23

-..when the Post Office

-closed for the final time.

0:41:240:41:28

-Daf Wyn was there on its last day.

0:41:280:41:31

-In 1964,

-Jean and Ithel Parri-Roberts...

0:41:390:41:42

-..opened the Post Office

-on King Edward Street in Whitland.

0:41:430:41:47

-They have enjoyed a happy

-and peaceful time...

0:41:470:41:50

-..but after 53 years

-of serving the community...

0:41:500:41:54

-..they are going to retire.

0:41:540:41:57

-I think back

-to when I started 53 years ago.

0:42:030:42:08

-We had to add up everything

-and it was all arithmetic.

0:42:090:42:13

-It was a lot of work

-at the end of the day...

0:42:140:42:17

-..with all the dockets

-that had to be processed.

0:42:170:42:20

-Next, came the adding machine

-that had to be used by hand.

0:42:210:42:26

-It wasn't electric so you had

-to insert the docket to print.

0:42:260:42:31

-That was how you did it.

0:42:310:42:33

-Ithel and Jean

-have seen a lot of changes.

0:42:360:42:39

-Shillings and pennies expired

-and then came the computer.

0:42:390:42:44

-It was an easy transition as working

-in a post office is in the blood.

0:42:440:42:49

-Jean's family has worked in a post

-office for 250 years between them.

0:42:490:42:55

-That's a quarter of a millennium!

0:42:550:42:57

-My father started 90 years ago.

0:42:570:43:02

-We were five children...

0:43:020:43:06

-..and all of us

-have worked for the Post Office.

0:43:070:43:10

-I'm the eldest

-but the last one to finish.

0:43:110:43:14

-I love the various characters.

0:43:160:43:18

-There was an evacuee who had learnt

-Welsh and loved conversing with us.

0:43:180:43:24

-I think that's wonderful...

0:43:240:43:27

-..as we feel close

-to the people of the community.

0:43:270:43:31

-The whole community

-is grateful to Ithel and Jean...

0:43:320:43:35

-..for their 50 years of service.

0:43:360:43:39

-It won't be the same

-without Jean and Ithel.

0:43:390:43:44

-They have been very welcoming

-and a great help to me.

0:43:440:43:50

-The community is going miss them.

0:43:500:43:53

-It's a community place

-and they are very sociable people.

0:43:530:43:58

-They do a lot in the village.

0:43:590:44:01

-People often meet here.

0:44:010:44:03

-Dad still lives in Whitland and he's

-going to really miss this place.

0:44:030:44:08

-We're glad to finish...

0:44:160:44:19

-..but it's been wonderful

-to see everyone.

0:44:190:44:25

-People have been incredibly kind.

0:44:250:44:28

-Are you ready for a lie in

-and a holiday?

0:44:290:44:31

-Yes, that would be nice.

0:44:320:44:33

-It'll be wonderful.

0:44:340:44:35

-Every day will be a Sunday!

0:44:350:44:37

-A very happy retirement

-to Jean and Ithel.

0:44:460:44:50

-We've already heard about

-Gwyl Gymraeg Ystradgynlais.

0:44:500:44:55

-One of the performers

-at the festival...

0:44:550:44:58

-..is the singer from Llansannan,

-Arwel Lloyd.

0:44:580:45:01

-We close with Arwel Lloyd

-singing Y Gwr o Gwm Penmachno.

0:45:020:45:07

-Gwyl Gymraeg Ystradgynlais.
