0:05:19 > 0:05:24- I've been swimming in cold water - without a wetsuit since the summer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- I tried going twice a week.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- I missed out for a fortnight - over Christmas due to a cold...

0:05:35 > 0:05:40- I've been every day since 1 February - apart from two days in March...
0:05:40 > 0:05:46- ..so I had five-minute cold showers - instead as my punishment!
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- It gets the adrenalin and endorphins - pumping so is quite addictive.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- This is a natural anti-depressant - and you feel great after going.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05- It's physically and spiritually - awakening and you're in the moment.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- TRAIN HOOTING
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- That's the train telling me - that it's time to get in!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Meilyr usually swims alone...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- ..but some of his friends heard - that wild swimming is beneficial...
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- ..so are giving it a go too!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- How was your first time - in the water, Bleddyn?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- It was cold and a bit of a shock - when I jumped in.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Meilyr tells me that you - do feel better afterwards.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- I'm happy and smiling - so it obviously works!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Would you do it again?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Yes, I think so.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59- Dad jumped in for the first time - and I did some paddling.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- I think he's brave for jumping in.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I'm happy after jumping - into the lake...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- ..and want to do it again.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- The pontoon said 25 metres...
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- ..and it was so cold!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I do it twice a week.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- It takes a few minutes - to get used to it...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- ..but then you're fine.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- It makes you feel great - and I'd recommend it to anyone.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- I'm shaking now and it was cold - but wonderful too.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- He's mad!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Have you ever swam in the lake?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Have you ever swam in the lake?- - No.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- It's only Dad who does that - but what's he like afterwards?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Cold!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- We've been in the water for - over ten minutes.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- They say that you do a minute - for every degree.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- If it's five degrees, you swim for a - maximum of five minutes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- It was nine degrees and I did over - ten minutes so I need to warm up!
0:08:15 > 0:08:21- Everyone's laughing - so we're all on a high.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- It's great and we can enjoy - the rest of the day.

0:08:45 > 0:08:51- ..they have inspired me to go home - for a hot bath and a cuppa!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Very wise, Elin.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- I feel cold after watching that.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04- The first thing I'm going to do - is ask Gwyneth to uncross her legs.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10- When you cross your legs, one - shoulder is higher than the other...

0:20:51 > 0:20:57- Another successful makeover and - Gwyneth looked great.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- Did you know that bees - are in danger?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- Recent research suggests that the - numbers are decreasing every year.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- There are many Welsh beekeepers...
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- ..and I was eager to find out more - about the trade.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Welcome to Cwrt Henri where - I'm joined by Gruff the beekeeper.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25- How are you?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- How are you?- - I'm very well, thank you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Can you explain what we have here?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- This is a hive - that I started last year.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- You can see the queen - that I raised last year.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- They survived the winter...
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- ..and have been moved - to a larger hive.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- The queen will lay about 1,000 - to 1,500 eggs...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- ..and will need more room.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56- We're hoping to have some honey - in the next four weeks...
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- ..and I can start collecting honey.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- How many bees have you got here?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- There must be 3,000 bees - on the frame.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- In mid summer, this hive could have - about 70,000 bees...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- ..but there's currently - about 20,000 to 30,000.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- How did your interest in beekeeping - start?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- I've always been interested - in farming and beekeeping.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- At my parents home in Crwbin...
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- ..there wasn't room - to keep sheep or cattle.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- I could only keep bees - and that's how it all started.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- It isn't very common.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- How many hives have you got?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- At the moment, I've got about - 70 hives across Carmarthenshire.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- You've got plenty to keep you busy.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Your wife, Angharad is here so - what are your thoughts on all this?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- It's great that Gruff does this.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Unfortunately, - honey bees are under threat...
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- ..due to changes in the climate - and chemicals...
0:23:04 > 0:23:10- ..so bees can no longer survive - without beekeepers.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16- Gruff is helping - to sustain the bee population.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21- I don't help Gruff - from day to day...
0:23:21 > 0:23:27- ..as I don't like getting - too close...
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- ..but I'm ready to help him collect - the honey and put it in jars.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- I've got one of your jars of honey.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- Can you tell us how the honey - reaches the jar, Gruff?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42- It's very simple.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- We remove the frame from the hive, - slice off the wax...
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- ..place it in the spinner - and filter it coarsely once...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Pfft! Sorry!
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- We remove any part that isn't edible - and it goes straight in the pot.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- And it's delicious.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Thanks to Gruff and Angharad - for the welcome.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- You taught me a lot.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19- ..and a good experience - to work with strangers.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25- I love the boombox that states - that we're still alive and kicking.
0:38:26 > 0:38:32- You have to take a moment to - appreciate the work in its entirety.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- Our services are normally held in - this room but they aren't much fun.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- However, the colourful walls - will raise our spirits.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- I feel proud to be Welsh - when I look at the mural.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Exams are around the corner...
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- ..so I hope the mural - will inspire them.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- It raises their spirits and - puts a smile on everyone's faces.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- It's a great way - to celebrate the pupils' Welshness.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08- I hope that our pupils will remember - some of the adages on the mural...
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- ..and make them feel proud...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- ..of their language - and of our country.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Fantastic.
0:39:20 > 0:39:26- I'm sure the mural will inspire - students for many years.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- Next, we have a story about - two friends from Penrhyn Bay...
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- ..who have worked together - for many years.
0:39:36 > 0:39:42- They've decided to close the shop - doors for the final time.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Elin went to wish them luck - for the future.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- For the last 40 years, - the people of Penrhyn Bay...
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- ..have come to Something Special for - Joy and Muriel to cut their hair.
0:40:04 > 0:40:10- Both have decided to - hang up their scissors.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Hello, Something Special?
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Joy was working with me - at the greengrocers nearby.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- She saw this shop for sale...
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- ..so I told her to buy it - and I'd be a partner.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- That was on 24 April 1977...
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- ..so we've been here two days - over 40 years!
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Muriel and Joy opened their salon - together many years ago.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- Muriel owns the salon and is - in charge of the administration...
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- ..whilst Joy did the hair cutting.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50- We've never argued with each other - or any of our staff.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- The girls have only left - if they've been pregnant!
0:40:55 > 0:41:00- Joy's the hairdresser - whilst I look after the money.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05- We've had a wonderful partnership - and worked well for 40 years.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- She's got a good brain for figures - and I haven't!
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- She works everything out - and I just listen.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- It's been the perfect partnership.
0:41:21 > 0:41:27- Muriel is 86 and looks incredible...
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- ..and Joy is 71.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- It's only now you've chosen to close - the shop so why leave it so long?
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- Old age has taken over - so it's time to have a rest.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- There's always little things to do - and things going wrong.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- As you get older, you don't have - anyone to rely on for those jobs...
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- ..so we've decided to call it a day.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53- How are you feeling?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- How are you feeling?- - It's heartbreaking.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- I won't have any money - to count every week.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- It'll be emotional locking - that door for the last time, Joy.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- I know but there comes a time - when you've got to finish.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12- I've done 54 years and my shoulders, - arms and legs are going.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- I'll pack it in - and have a bit of a rest.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23- She has fond memories - of working in the salon...
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- ..and has an incredible story - about The Beatles!

0:42:39 > 0:42:45- He was cold, so I said he could - borrow it and I never got it back.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- I don't know whether - he's still got it in his family.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- The shop is closing but we'll - still come here to do our hair...

0:43:56 > 0:44:00- # I used to dream - that I would discover
0:44:00 > 0:44:04- # The perfect lover someday
0:44:04 > 0:44:12- # I knew I'd recognize him if ever - he came 'round my way
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- # I always used to fancy then
0:44:16 > 0:44:21- # He'd be one of the god-like - kind of men
0:44:21 > 0:44:26- # With a giant brain and - a noble head
0:44:27 > 0:44:36- # Like the heroes bold - in the books I've read
0:44:38 > 0:44:43- # But along came Bill
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- # Who's not the type at all
0:44:46 > 0:44:52- # You'd meet him on the street - and never notice him
0:44:52 > 0:44:55- # His form and face
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- # His manly grace
0:45:00 > 0:45:06- # Are not the kind that you - would find in a statue
0:45:07 > 0:45:11- # And I can't explain
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- # It's surely not his brain
0:45:15 > 0:45:20- # That makes me thrill
0:45:21 > 0:45:28- # I love him - because he's wonderful
0:45:29 > 0:45:35- # Because he's just my Bill
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- # He can't play golf or tennis - or polo
0:45:39 > 0:45:41- # Or sing a solo or row
0:45:41 > 0:45:45- # He isn't half as handsome
0:45:45 > 0:45:50- # As dozens of men that I know
0:45:51 > 0:45:55- # He isn't tall or straight or slim
0:45:55 > 0:46:00- # And he dresses far worse - than Ted or Jim
0:46:01 > 0:46:09- # And I can't explain - why he should be
0:46:09 > 0:46:18- # Just the one, - one man in the world for me
0:46:20 > 0:46:28- # He's just my Bill an ordinary man
0:46:29 > 0:46:34- # He hasn't got a thing - that I can brag about
0:46:34 > 0:46:40- # And yet to be upon his knee
0:46:41 > 0:46:48- # So comfy and roomy - seems natural to me
0:46:49 > 0:46:53- # Oh, I can't explain
0:46:53 > 0:46:57- # It's surely not his brain
0:46:57 > 0:47:02- # That makes me thrill
0:47:03 > 0:47:05- # I love him
0:47:07 > 0:47:14- # Because he's, I don't know
0:47:16 > 0:47:24- # Because he's just
0:47:24 > 0:47:28- # My Bill #
