0:03:46 > 0:03:49- ..to speak - in front of about 300 people.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- It was like a county Eisteddfod - for us but it was nerve-racking too.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49- I started by making - some contemporary lovespoons...
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- ..and played with the idea - of the traditional lovespoon.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- I have to ask about the unique name - of the company.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Few people understand - the name of "Jacos."
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- "Jacos" is a term - from the local dialect.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18- I'd say that the term - means contentment.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27- This is my chance to live the life - I've always dreamed of living.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- The local dialect - inspired the company's name...
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- ..and the landscape - offers plenty of inspiration too.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I'm very lucky - to live in this area...
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- ..as I'm near the Preseli Mountains - and surrounded by the countryside.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- It's very inspirational but a lot of - my work is based on the seaside...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- ..because it's a place - where people go on holiday.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47- In the early days, I think they - expected to see a car in the corner!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- But it's worked out perfectly.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- By working from home...

0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Having Cooper has been - an uphill struggle for you.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Take us back to the start - and the IVF treatment.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- It started before that with a number - of tests to find the problem.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Everything came back clear.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- We had a diagnosis - of an unexplained infertility.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- Everything was working and there - was no reason for the infertility.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- We had many rounds of clomiphene - and that didn't work.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- After many years, - we were able to try the IVF...
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- ..at a hospital - in the Neath Port Talbot area.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25- And you fell pregnant.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- And you fell pregnant.- - Not the first time.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- How many times did it take?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- We did two fresh cycles...
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- ..and it worked on the second cycle.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37- It was an exciting time.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Yes, it was exciting - but also very nerve-racking.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- Despite falling pregnant, it doesn't - always have a happy ending.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- I got pregnant seven years ago - before losing the baby.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- It meant that I was very anxious - about it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Thankfully, - this one decided to stay!
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- Sian said it was the start - of your long journey.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- You had many complications - during the pregnancy.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Yes, and I went - for my 20-week scan...
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- ..and they found - that I had a low-lying placenta.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- This was an issue in itself.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- I was diagnosed - with placenta previa...
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- ..which meant - that I might need a C-section.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- It was disappointing - but it didn't matter.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- When I went back after 30 weeks...
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- ..we realized I had something - called vasa previa.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- It's quite a rare condition - as few people will get it...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- ..but it's more common - in those who have IVF.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- One in 200,000 usually get it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50- And it was you.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- And it was you.- - Yes!
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- I had the scan on the Thursday.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- I lived in Glangwili Hospital from - the Monday until the baby was born.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02- How long did you spend there?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- How long did you spend there?- - It was a total of 31 days.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10- The condition they discovered - is particularly dangerous.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- How did they find it?
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- It's all thanks to a fantastic man - at Withybush Hospital.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- He realized that I had it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26- It can be very dangerous if it goes - undiscovered before the birth.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- It isn't good news...
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- ..if you give birth naturally - and have vasa previa.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Thankfully, he discovered it...
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- ..and here he is!
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Yes, he's woken up now.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46- When Cooper was born, - there were even more complications.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51- Yes, because he couldn't breathe - very well at the start...
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- ..so he went into the special - care unit at Glangwili Hospital.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- It was totally horrific...
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- ..but I cannot - praise the staff enough.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- They were totally fantastic.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10- It was like having - an extra ten to 15 mothers!
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- You wrote a blog - of your experiences.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- You praised a lot of people - in your blogs.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- How good were the hospitals - where you were treated?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- It's one of the reasons - for my posts.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28- People are so quick to complain - when things go wrong.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- All our treatment - was through the NHS...
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- ..and they were fantastic.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- I've made so many friends - and that includes the nurses.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43- They were all so nice and helped - to make my experience much easier.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- It could have been a lot worse.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- How old was Cooper - when you brought him home?
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- He was ten days old - before we could take him home.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- We were home for a week - but had to go back into hospital...
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- ..because he had pyloric stenosis.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07- Both Carwyn and I had it as babies - so he couldn't really avoid it!
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- It meant that he had an operation - at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff...
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- ..and they were totally fantastic.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- He's as right as rain now.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Welcome back.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Our fashion expert, Huw Fash - recently received an email...
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- ..from a Heno viewer called - Glenda Burke from Porthmadog.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34- Glenda is going to a special party - and she fancied a makeover.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56- What's the problem, Glenda?
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- It's rare that I get invited - to the palace or wear a dress.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- I'm a plus-sized person...
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- I'm a plus-sized person...- - ..and so am I!
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- I've got no idea where to start - looking for clothes.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- After chatting on the phone...
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- ..I realized that you didn't want to - look like a Mother of the Bride...
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- ..so I wanted something less stuffy - and more interesting.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- If you don't know what you want, - it's horrible to be carrying bags.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29- Boys!
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- These are some ideas.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- Evans is always great and Navabi - is a new company from Germany.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41- I think we'll keep the outfit simple - but focus on the accessories.
0:37:42 > 0:37:48- Liz isn't getting the attention - as Huw Fash doesn't do understated!
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- This is an idea for a design.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55- You're going to a garden party - so can wear a flower on your head.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Wow!
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- After we finished chatting, - we hot-footed it to Criccieth.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04- They're here!
0:38:06 > 0:38:07- Hi, how are you?

0:38:40 > 0:38:45- Yes, and I know that Glenda doesn't - know about her outfit yet...
0:38:45 > 0:38:51- ..but the hair will depend - on the way the fascinator sits.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- I didn't know where to start.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- The invitation contains a list - of things you cannot wear...
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- ..and it was basically - my whole wardrobe!

0:39:33 > 0:39:35- ..trying on hatinators...
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- ..so it's time for some make-up - and Lisa is perfect for the job!

0:40:10 > 0:40:15- I've got an array of dresses that - can be dressed up with accessories.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Has anything caught your eye?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I like these colours - and I always love a black dress.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- It's the safe choice.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Roy has over 500 ties.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25- Believe it or not, - there's a story behind each one.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34- Over the years, Roy Noble - has collected hundreds of ties.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40- He's bought some but most are from - his public speaking engagements...
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- ..at rugby clubs, with societies, - choirs and for Eisteddfods.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- The time has come to bid them - farewell for a very worthy cause.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54- This is a great collection of ties - of all kinds and colours.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- How many ties have you collected - over the years?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- There's over 500.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06- Why have you chosen to put them up - for auction or give them away now?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- I've just got too many.
0:43:09 > 0:43:15- A charity or something - could benefit from them.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20- I've promised to give two dozen - to a charity in Newport.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- There's also a group of ladies - in Porthcawl...
0:43:25 > 0:43:29- ..called the Knitters and Natters - so they knit and chat!
0:43:30 > 0:43:31- They make a lot of things.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- They might stitch them together - to make a blanket or quilt.
0:43:44 > 0:43:50- You're famous for always - looking smart in a tie and suit.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54- I'm sure they all have - a story to tell.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- Yes, but some of them - cannot be broadcast!
0:43:58 > 0:44:03- I've got a little trick to remember - the reason for having the tie.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- Open it up - and there's a white piece inside.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- This tells me - that it's from Glynneath Rugby Club.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- I've also got a tie - from when I was a referee.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17- You'll be surprised to know - that I couldn't play rugby...
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- ..but was never a referee - on the same level as Nigel Owens.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27- I can remember refereeing - one Saturday in New Tredegar...
0:44:27 > 0:44:32- ..and the rain was being blown - horizontally to Bargoed!
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- New Tredegar was playing a team - from Slough and winning easily.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42- I was a bit of a homer - in terms of refereeing.
0:44:42 > 0:44:48- It was a few minutes into the second - half and Tredegar scored again.
0:44:48 > 0:44:54- I waited for the conversion - and someone called "Ref, Ref!"
0:44:54 > 0:44:59- "The chicken and chips are ready - so can you finish the game early?"
0:45:00 > 0:45:06- I spoke to the captains and - we finished about 25 minutes early!
0:45:06 > 0:45:08- They all have stories.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- This next one is from Fall Bay.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13- I took this gig...
0:45:13 > 0:45:19- ..but knew nothing about Fall Bay - and thought it was in California.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- It's actually near Llanrhidian!
0:45:23 > 0:45:24- Yes, that's right.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- These two have a special place - in my heart.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32- The Ynysowen Male Voice Choir - is linked with Aberfan.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35- It was formed after the disaster.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38- I also worked in Senghenydd.
0:45:38 > 0:45:44- We've recently marked the centenary - of that disaster.
0:45:44 > 0:45:49- Next, I have some fond memories.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- I did look quite good at one point!
0:45:52 > 0:45:56- That's from the days when I was - one of the presenters on Heno.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01- I tried to find that tie and it - isn't quite right but close enough.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06- I can't find it so it's probably - with the 200 I gave away!
0:46:06 > 0:46:11- They were great days - with the lovely Ena, Sian...
0:46:12 > 0:46:14- ..Angharad and Elinor.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- Those were my golden years!
0:46:23 > 0:46:28- Will you be upset - to see them all going?
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- No, not now.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34- I'll keep about 20 of them...
0:46:34 > 0:46:38- ..and I hope the rest can be used - to help others.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42- The ties are going to new homes...
0:46:42 > 0:46:47- ..but the memories and stories - will live on in your heart.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52- Yes, and many of them - hold a special place in my heart.
0:46:52 > 0:46:57- I'm grateful to have been invited - to speak at so many events.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- That's got to mean something.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00- That's got to mean something.- - Yes, definitely.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10- That's what I call a collection!
0:47:10 > 0:47:11- That's all for today.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- Time has flown!
0:47:14 > 0:47:17- Don't forget to join us again - next week.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19- Until next week...
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- ..keep practicing your Welsh.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24- It's important to try - but have plenty of fun too.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27- A very good morning to you all.
