-Hello, how are you?

-Welcome to Bore Da on Sunday 7 May.

-I hope you're enjoying

-the weekend...

-..and are ready to relax with me

-over the coming hour.

-On today's programme...

-..we congratulate the pupils

-of Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg...

-..who have just won

-a public speaking competition.

-Llinos Lee meets the presenter,

-Roy Noble...

-..as he empties his wardrobe

-of all his ties.

-We visit the Pan Celtic Festival

-in Ireland.

-One lucky viewer

-enjoys a makeover from Huw Fash...

-..as she prepares

-to visit to Buckingham Palace.

-We've got all this

-and a whole lot more.

-Welcome to Bore Da.

-We start this morning

-by congratulating three pupils...

-..from Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg

-in Barry.

-They have won a main public speaking

-competition in the United Kingdom.

-It's the only school in Wales

-to have won the competition.

-I wanted to hear more

-about their success...

-..so I visited the school.

-The public speaking team

-of Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg...

-..recently won a major public

-speaking competition in English.

-Huw, Twm and Tia took the title...

-..in the competition

-run by the English Speaking Union.

-The school is proud of them.

-Congratulations to you.

-Congratulations to you.

-

-Thank you.

-Can you explain the process to me?

-I was the speaker

-so had to go to another team.

-Someone else introduced me

-to the audience.

-I gave a five-minute presentation

-about the change in technology.

-Tia and I had to introduce and

-ask questions to another speaker...

-..who joined us on the day.

-We hadn't heard their presentation

-until that day...

-..so it was new for me.

-How does it feel to be the only

-Welsh school to win a competition...

-..that has been running since 1960?

-We must remember

-that this is a Welsh medium school.

-It's incredible

-and the children worked so hard.

-Twm and Huw have competed

-in public speaking competitions...

-..since they were in Year 8.

-They've worked at it over the years.

-They are at

-the top of their game now...

-..in the English Speaking Union.

-We fought off stiff competition...

-..from many public

-and private schools.

-We were victorious

-which was a real achievement...

-..and everyone in the school

-is proud of their success.

-Were you nervous?

-Not everyone can stand in front

-of hundreds of people and talk.

-Did that worry you beforehand?

-Yes, I did feel nervous.

-It helped that we had been

-in similar situations...

-..such as the Eisteddfod.

-I think it terrified some

-of the English private schools...

-..to speak

-in front of about 300 people.

-It was like a county Eisteddfod

-for us but it was nerve-racking too.

-We had done so well

-to reach that round...

-..so just wanted to enjoy the

-experience of being in Cambridge.

-Our presence in the competition

-proved that Welsh medium schools...

-..can be part

-of English public speaking events.

-It shows that English and Welsh

-are on a par in our schools.

-The success of Welsh education stems

-from non-Welsh speaking parents.

-This is unmistakable proof

-of the success of Welsh education...

-..and that Welsh medium schools

-can provide a bilingual education...

-..so that pupils be successful

-in the English language...

-..whether that is in exams

-or competitions.

-They can compete against

-the best schools in Britain.

-It's massive for them as individuals

-and the school.

-We're very proud of them.

-That's excellent.

-Congratulations, once again,

-to Huw, Twm and Tia.

-Mari Grug recently visited

-the Cardigan area...

-..to meet a local lady

-called Joanna Jones.

-Joanna has just started

-a brand-new business called Jacos.

-Joanna Jones lives on a smallholding

-between Cardigan and Penparc.

-Her studio is a renovated cowshed

-situated at the end of the garden.

-This is where

-she enjoys being creative.

-What and who is Jacos?

-I started by making

-some contemporary lovespoons...

-..and played with the idea

-of the traditional lovespoon.

-At first, I made spoons for friends

-for different occasions.

-I decided to post a few photographs

-of them on Facebook.

-People liked them.

-Mrs Jacos developed from there.

-She started in a small frame

-before travelling along the coast.

-I have one of her in Aberaeron.

-We remember going there for chips

-so I've got one of her eating chips.

-There's also one of her eating chips

-and fishing for crabs in New Quay...

-..and fishing for salmon

-on the River Teifi in Cardigan.

-She also drinks wine

-outside the Sloop in Porthgain.

-Why did you decide to change career?

-I taught art in Llanelli before

-working at the National Wool Museum.

-I'd always enjoyed

-making things at home.

-I also made things for friends.

-I had the opportunity to do it

-and the time was right...

-..so I decided to go for it!

-I have to ask about the unique name

-of the company.

-Few people understand

-the name of "Jacos."

-"Jacos" is a term

-from the local dialect.

-I'd say that the term

-means contentment.

-It's what this is all about for me.

-This is my chance to live the life

-I've always dreamed of living.

-The local dialect

-inspired the company's name...

-..and the landscape

-offers plenty of inspiration too.

-I'm very lucky

-to live in this area...

-..as I'm near the Preseli Mountains

-and surrounded by the countryside.

-It's very inspirational but a lot of

-my work is based on the seaside...

-..because it's a place

-where people go on holiday.

-They want to remember it

-during the cold, winter months.

-I hope that looking at my work

-brings people happiness.

-My work is intended to bring joy.

-What about the creative process?

-Customers usually contact me with

-their requirements via Facebook.

-I can design something

-to suit any occasion.

-It's still early days but

-what are your hopes for the company?

-I always have new ideas and

-people share their ideas with me...

-..so the company is developing

-on a daily basis.

-I don't want mass production but to

-retain a high quality in my output.

-That will help

-to drive the company forward.

-You want to retain a personal touch.

-You want to retain a personal touch.

-

-Yes, that's correct.

-Yes, that's correct.

-I've spotted a piece with a link to

-somewhere that's close to my heart.

-You've made a piece that's based on

-my birthplace of Mynachlog-ddu.

-I thought that you might like it.

-This is Mynachlog-ddu.

-Thank you

-and good luck to you, Joanna.

-Next Tuesday is 9 May...

-..and the Mudiad Meithrin is hosting

-a very unusual birthday party.

-It's the Biggest Pyjamas Party

-in the World!

-They hope to break a record and

-you're invited to join in the fun.

-Iola Jones can tell us all about it.

-We wanted something to celebrate

-our 45th birthday...

-..and had a number of ideas.

-We've been playing with the idea of

-breaking some kind of world record.

-We also wanted to mark 45 years

-with a fun event.

-Welsh is fun.

-It had to involve

-all our groups and is cheap to do...

-..that raised money for the groups.

-Everyone will pay 1

-to wear pyjamas for the day.

-It's the Biggest

-Pyjamas Party in the World.

-Before we get to the party...

-..tell us about the tour

-that has got you to this stage.

-First, we had to consider

-our friend or mascot called Dewin.

-Dewin wanted to take part

-but he didn't have any pyjamas.

-We made a plea to the nation for

-someone to make pyjamas for Dewin.

-Aykroyd & Sons from Bala stepped up

-to the mark to make his pyjamas.

-We also ran a competition...

-..for children in our nurseries

-to design some pyjamas.

-Bethan Williams from the Treuddyn

-group won the competition.

-She won a set of her pyjamas and

-Dewin got a pair for the party too.

-There's been other competitions.

-Children had to write a story

-for the Wcw magazine...

-..which is aimed at children

-aged up to seven.

-It was won by the Sarnau

-and Llandderfel nursery.

-The prize

-was to get their story printed...

-..in the Wcw magazine...

-..and the magazine for the

-forthcoming Dewin a Doti festival.

-It's great for them

-to see their work in print.

-There was a poetry-writing

-competition...

-..for university students.

-We've all been to a nursery

-at some point.

-Last week,

-we congratulated Caryl Bryn.

-She isn't in a nursery

-but at Bangor University...

-..and won the competition.

-As a student, she's like us and

-spends a lot of time in her pyjamas!

-It's the Biggest Pyjamas Party

-in the World.

-How many people will be taking part?

-Our target is 2,005...

-..as the current record

-stands at 2,004.

-It is possible

-as long as everyone takes part.

-Is it in one place?

-No, everyone will take part

-in their nurseries or schools.

-The National Library and many

-other sites are also taking part.

-They can contact us directly...

-..by either calling us

-or emailing [email protected]...

-..to tell us how many people

-have taken part on the day.

-We'll count them at 3.00pm

-next Tuesday.

-The contact details

-are on the screen now.

-Any pyjamas will do but you have

-a lovely pair in the studio.

-Are those the winning design?

-No, these are a different pair.

-This design

-was chosen by the nurseries.

-We worked with Aykroyd & Sons

-on this design...

-..and we've sold about 700 pairs

-to the various nurseries...

-..but there's a few left to buy!

-The children can either wear these

-or their own pyjamas.

-Do you make them for adults?

-Do you make them for adults?

-

-No, but a lot has asked that.

-It's wonderful

-to be able to celebrate 45 years.

-I'm sure the Mudiad Meithrin

-has changed a lot since 1971.

-Yes, but I wasn't there

-at the start!

-It's changed so much and

-has gone from strength to strength.

-It started with a few groups

-and we've now got 500 nurseries...

-..and about 400 Ti a Fi groups.

-There's also the new

-Cymraeg for Kids scheme...

-..and we have 145 Welsh groups

-for children too.

-We cover from the cradle to school.

-I'm sure the children

-from those first nursery groups...

-..are now parents

-and even grandparents...

-..with their own children

-in your nurseries.

-Yes, it's possible.

-Our chairman,

-Dr Rhodri Llwyd Morgan...

-..is the first chairman to have

-gone through our nursery system.

-Remind us of the date and tell us

-how people can take part in the day.

-It's 9 May which is next Tuesday.

-Don't worry if you're busy

-because you can do it a week early.

-The group in London is doing it on

-Friday and sending us photographs.

-Send your photographs

-to [email protected]

-Upload them to Twitter and Facebook

-using #PartiPJsMM

-We want any celebs

-to send us photographs too.

-We're waiting for a few.

-We're all going to do it.

-We're all going to do it.

-

-Hint, hint!

-We want to break

-that record for you.

-Yes, so we want everyone

-to send us their photographs.

-It's a clear message.

-Thank you, good luck and let us know

-if you break the record.

-Good luck to them.

-If you're interested

-in taking part...

-..email [email protected]

-That's all for the first part.

-In the second part...

-..we celebrate Wales

-in the Pan Celtic Festival.

-There's also the story of a lady

-who started a brand-new business...

-..in her garage at home.

-Don't move a muscle!

-Welcome back.

-The Pan Celtic Festival

-is held in Ireland every year.

-The festival showcases the talents

-of the Celtic nations.

-Hundreds of people from Wales

-go out there to compete.

-These are some of the highlights

-of the 2017 Pan Celtic Festival.

-The Pan Celtic Festival

-offers a feast of entertainment...

-..from street performances to

-a fair, fun in the local pubs....

-..and fierce competitions.

-The Welsh made their mark

-in the folk and choral contests.

-The Magee Brothers

-were named the best folk group.

-We're the Magee Brothers and we won

-the best Celtic group category...

-..against seven other bands.

-We've also been performing around

-the pubs in Carlow which was great.

-I haven't been to the festival

-for several decades.

-It has evolved into an organized

-and exciting festival.

-Every country brings its own styles

-and traditions.

-But the standard is great

-and the atmosphere is wonderful.

-It's been impossible to judge them

-but a lot of fun.

-# Following to Caernarfon Castle #

-Gwilym, Bethany and Gethin

-were second in the folk group event.

-Gwilym Bowen Rhys came first in

-the solo folk singing competition...

-..and Bethany Celyn was third.

-It was a huge competition

-with 14 entrants...

-..and everyone sang

-in their own language.

-I was the last one

-of the 14 to perform.

-I feel truly honoured to win

-and get a lovely award too!

-I came third last night...

-..and accompanied Cadi

-in the International Song Contest.

-I judged the solo folk singing

-and it was a fantastic competition.

-The Welsh excelled.

-Anni Llyn won an award for

-her song about the Lleyn Peninsula.

-She won it for best original song.

-Anni Llyn was part of the winning

-folk dancing group, Danswyr Talog.

-Her husband, Tudur Phillips

-won for his solo step dance.

-I wrote a song called Y Lon i Lyn

-a few years ago.

-It shows that it doesn't matter

-what happens in your life...

-..as you can always go home

-and my home is the Lleyn Peninsula.

-After five hours of singing, Tonic

-was named Best Traditional Choir.

-The Cor Rhuthun choir

-enjoyed success too.

-# And the owl

-# Laughed at us #

-We are very lucky to come first

-in the male voice choir competition.

-The success continued...

-..because our ladies choir

-also won their competition...

-..but the group behind me

-has made me the happiest man alive.

-It's the Cytgan Clwyd choir.

-They are talented...

-..have a great conductor

-and enjoy the best opportunities.

-The Pan Celtic trophy for 2017...

-..goes to Cor Cytgan Clwyd.

-Cytgan Clwyd won four categories.

-They won in the youth, mixed

-and open choirs categories...

-..as well as being named

-the Festival Choir.

-We're very emotional.

-We didn't expect to win this

-for the second time.

-The choir is fantastic.

-They do everything I ask

-and attend every rehearsal.

-I'm getting emotional again

-but they are fantastic.

-Morwen is an important member of the

-team and is a wonderful accompanist.

-CHEERING

-# Oh, Wales, oh, Wales!

-# I'd give you my life #

-The last competition was fantastic

-and the quality was impeccable...

-..with the Cor yr Heli choir.

-The day has been...

-Sorry, I'm in bits here!

-# My sunshine

-# You are

-# You are my sunshine #

-APPLAUSE

-Congratulations to everyone.

-Working from home has become

-very popular these days.

-Next, we have the story of a viewer

-who transformed her home...

-..to offer beauty treatments

-from her own garage!

-The beauty parlour

-is called Pecyn Pert.

-I set up the business

-eight years ago...

-..but moved so that I could

-work from home five years ago.

-The reason for the move

-was to make family life easier.

-My children are eight and four.

-It means that I can work

-the business around family time.

-Our house had a built-in garage.

-We decided

-to move the business home...

-..and converted the garage

-into a salon.

-The only issue was telling customers

-that I had converted my garage.

-In the early days, I think they

-expected to see a car in the corner!

-But it's worked out perfectly.

-By working from home...

-..I don't endure the daily commute

-and struggle to park.

-There's something convenient

-about working from home.

-I feel more relaxed

-by working at home.

-The children are nearby too.

-All my clients

-enjoy coming out into the country...

-..instead of going into town.

-It means that

-after having a facial...

-..they don't have

-to walk through town.

-After a spray tan, they can jump

-in the car and head straight home.

-I really enjoy coming here.

-It's a wonderful out-of-town

-location with easy parking.

-It also helps to soothe the soul...

-..as you can look out at the fields,

-trees, land and the animals.

-It's a pleasure to come here

-as opposed to going into town.

-I like the products she uses.

-They are items

-for the manicures and facials.

-They seem to work for me.

-She's a wonderful friend...

-..but don't tell her that!

-The treatments I offer include

-manicures, pedicures, waxing...

-..massage, hot stones

-and Indian head massages...

-..but I tend to focus more

-on facials.

-I use electrotherapy and sonic

-technology for deeper cleansing.

-Clients witness better results

-with my facials.

-What are the

-most popular treatments?

-I enjoy a pedicure and manicure...

-..but I also like a facial.

-The face needs more work

-as you get older.

-It's a challenge for her!

-There are advantages or she wouldn't

-have gone to all the effort.

-It's been a massive success

-and I'm delighted for her.

-Moving to work from home

-is one of the best things I've done.

-That's brilliant.

-That's all for now but

-in the next part of the programme...

-..we meet a young rally driver from

-Llandysul who has a bright future.

-There's also the IVF story of

-an incredible lady from Crymych...

-..called Sharlaine Quick.

-Join me in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Next, we step into

-the world of rallying.

-Ioan Lloyd from Llandysul is making

-quite a name for himself...

-..and faces a very bright future.

-The Formula 1

-and rallying season has started...

-..and the world's best drivers

-are displaying their talents.

-It's vital to start at a young age

-to be the best at any sport.

-Ioan Lloyd from Llandysul

-is certainly on the right track.

-The 14-year-old made his debut in

-the Junior 1000 Rally championship.

-It's a championship for drivers

-between 14 and 17 in 1000cc cars.

-He made his mark

-on his first three rallies.

-This year, he's one of the

-favourites to win the championship.

-I did my first rally in September

-in Pembrey...

-..with Julian Reynolds

-as my co-driver.

-I thoroughly enjoyed it.

-I caught the rallying bug

-and it went from there.

-This season, you've already

-competed in one rally in Anglesey.

-We were fourth overall

-and first amongst the Micras.

-I was chuffed with that.

-His current co-driver

-is Ryland James.

-He was the co-driver of Gareth,

-Ioan's father.

-Drivers and co-drivers

-have a relationship based on trust.

-He's an old head on young shoulders.

-Rallying is in his blood

-thanks to his father, Gareth.

-He enjoys it

-and that's important in any sport.

-Sorry.

-Don't worry about it.

-I first met Ryland

-when I started out in rallying.

-We've become firm friends

-and he's a family friend.

-Ioan enjoyed the sport

-from an early age.

-He was dying to get

-behind the wheel.

-I didn't get a choice in the matter.

-He's had a keen interest

-in motorsport from a very young age.

-Ioan loves anything

-with wheels and an engine.

-I was impressed with Ioan during

-the first round of the championship.

-His background in karting

-has certainly helped.

-Karting teaches youngsters

-to choose the correct racing lines.

-It's great for their career.

-Dad has been rallying with Ryland

-for many years.

-I always enjoyed watching them

-and helped with the servicing.

-Once I had a go, I was hooked

-and wanted to go again!

-And he did go again.

-Gareth must be happy that his good

-friend is keeping an eye on Ioan.

-At the split, go left again.

-What are your hopes for the rally

-in Harlech over the weekend?

-Have you been there before?

-I've never been there

-but am hoping for a good run.

-The car hasn't let us down yet

-which is a good thing.

-Ioan's father, Gareth

-has enjoyed his own successes.

-He finished behind Jimmy McRae to

-come second in the 2006 RAC Rally...

-..and is a three-times

-British Historic Rally Champion.

-He's quite a driver.

-I hope to follow in his footsteps.

-If I set you and your Dad the

-challenge to do a lap in this car...

-..who would win?

-I'm not sure

-but it would probably be him!

-I'd have to find a few short cuts.

-This is where Ioan comes to practice

-in his kart.

-He knows the track but I'd like

-to give him a run for his money...

-..or the journey home

-will be very long!

-I think age and weight

-are two important considerations...

-..so I'd put my money on Ioan

-but don't tell Gareth!

-Three, two, one - go!

-The father and son

-are experienced drivers.

-It was clear from the off that

-the times would be fast and close.

-Oh.

-How did that lap feel?

-How did that lap feel?

-

-That was hard work.

-It felt fine despite missing a gear

-but I don't know.

-I'll reveal Ioan's time first.

-It was 37.8 seconds.

-Gareth's time was...

-..thirty...

-That's a good start.

-It was 39.12 seconds!

-It's all down to his weight!

-It's all down to his weight!

-

-No, it isn't.

-Thank you very much, Ryland.

-Thank you very much, Ryland.

-

-Thank you.

-That was brilliant!

-Good luck to Ioan Lloyd.

-Make sure you remember that name!

-After six years of trying for a baby

-and having many IVF treatments...

-..Sharlaine Quick-Lawrence

-had a son in January...

-..but there were many mountains

-to climb...

-..during the pregnancy

-and after the birth.

-Sharlaine tells us

-her incredible story.

-Welcome to the programme,

-Sharlaine...

-..and to Cooper

-who has drifted off to sleep.

-How old is he now?

-He's 16 weeks old.

-Is he a good baby?

-Yes, he's very good...

-..but is a bit confused about

-the day and night at the moment.

-Yes, we noticed!

-Yes, we noticed!

-

-As you can see.

-He's the only one in the house

-who can sleep!

-Having Cooper has been

-an uphill struggle for you.

-Take us back to the start

-and the IVF treatment.

-It started before that with a number

-of tests to find the problem.

-Everything came back clear.

-We had a diagnosis

-of an unexplained infertility.

-Everything was working and there

-was no reason for the infertility.

-We had many rounds of clomiphene

-and that didn't work.

-After many years,

-we were able to try the IVF...

-..at a hospital

-in the Neath Port Talbot area.

-And you fell pregnant.

-And you fell pregnant.

-

-Not the first time.

-How many times did it take?

-We did two fresh cycles...

-..and it worked on the second cycle.

-It was an exciting time.

-Yes, it was exciting

-but also very nerve-racking.

-Despite falling pregnant, it doesn't

-always have a happy ending.

-I got pregnant seven years ago

-before losing the baby.

-It meant that I was very anxious

-about it.

-Thankfully,

-this one decided to stay!

-Sian said it was the start

-of your long journey.

-You had many complications

-during the pregnancy.

-Yes, and I went

-for my 20-week scan...

-..and they found

-that I had a low-lying placenta.

-This was an issue in itself.

-I was diagnosed

-with placenta previa...

-..which meant

-that I might need a C-section.

-It was disappointing

-but it didn't matter.

-When I went back after 30 weeks...

-..we realized I had something

-called vasa previa.

-It's quite a rare condition

-as few people will get it...

-..but it's more common

-in those who have IVF.

-One in 200,000 usually get it.

-And it was you.

-And it was you.

-

-Yes!

-I had the scan on the Thursday.

-I lived in Glangwili Hospital from

-the Monday until the baby was born.

-How long did you spend there?

-How long did you spend there?

-

-It was a total of 31 days.

-The condition they discovered

-is particularly dangerous.

-How did they find it?

-It's all thanks to a fantastic man

-at Withybush Hospital.

-He realized that I had it.

-It can be very dangerous if it goes

-undiscovered before the birth.

-It isn't good news...

-..if you give birth naturally

-and have vasa previa.

-Thankfully, he discovered it...

-..and here he is!

-Yes, he's woken up now.

-When Cooper was born,

-there were even more complications.

-Yes, because he couldn't breathe

-very well at the start...

-..so he went into the special

-care unit at Glangwili Hospital.

-It was totally horrific...

-..but I cannot

-praise the staff enough.

-They were totally fantastic.

-It was like having

-an extra ten to 15 mothers!

-You wrote a blog

-of your experiences.

-You praised a lot of people

-in your blogs.

-How good were the hospitals

-where you were treated?

-It's one of the reasons

-for my posts.

-People are so quick to complain

-when things go wrong.

-All our treatment

-was through the NHS...

-..and they were fantastic.

-I've made so many friends

-and that includes the nurses.

-They were all so nice and helped

-to make my experience much easier.

-It could have been a lot worse.

-How old was Cooper

-when you brought him home?

-He was ten days old

-before we could take him home.

-We were home for a week

-but had to go back into hospital...

-..because he had pyloric stenosis.

-Both Carwyn and I had it as babies

-so he couldn't really avoid it!

-It meant that he had an operation

-at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff...

-..and they were totally fantastic.

-He's as right as rain now.

-And looks lovely in his blue clothes

-for the television!

-Is everything alright now?

-Is everything alright now?

-

-Yes, he's perfect!

-We have a whale of a time.

-It's been lovely to meet you.

-It's been lovely to meet you.

-

-Thank you.

-Everyone has fallen in love

-with Cooper.

-We're delighted that everything

-has worked itself out now.

-It's been lovely to meet you.

-Thanks to Sharlaine

-for sharing her story with us.

-Join us after the break...

-..when Huw and his team

-give a lucky viewer a makeover.

-The presenter, Roy Noble chats about

-his amazing collection of ties.

-Grab a quick cuppa

-and join me in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Our fashion expert, Huw Fash

-recently received an email...

-..from a Heno viewer called

-Glenda Burke from Porthmadog.

-Glenda is going to a special party

-and she fancied a makeover.

-Huw Fash

-was more than willing to help!

-It's lovely to meet you, Glenda.

-We're shopping in style

-at this fantastic location.

-What's the problem, Glenda?

-It's rare that I get invited

-to the palace or wear a dress.

-I'm a plus-sized person...

-I'm a plus-sized person...

-

-..and so am I!

-I've got no idea where to start

-looking for clothes.

-After chatting on the phone...

-..I realized that you didn't want to

-look like a Mother of the Bride...

-..so I wanted something less stuffy

-and more interesting.

-If you don't know what you want,

-it's horrible to be carrying bags.

-Boys!

-These are some ideas.

-Evans is always great and Navabi

-is a new company from Germany.

-I think we'll keep the outfit simple

-but focus on the accessories.

-Liz isn't getting the attention

-as Huw Fash doesn't do understated!

-This is an idea for a design.

-You're going to a garden party

-so can wear a flower on your head.

-Wow!

-After we finished chatting,

-we hot-footed it to Criccieth.

-They're here!

-Hi, how are you?

-Hi, how are you?

-

-Hello!

-Come in, Glenda as I've brought you

-to a special salon.

-Glenda is going to the palace...

-..and wearing an extravagant

-and eye-catching hatinator.

-She needs fantastic hair.

-There's no better place than

-the award-winning Moncrieffe Hair.

-You're in safe hands.

-Come through.

-Victoria Pearce from Kidwelly

-has created these hats.

-There are guidelines on how to wear

-them so does that affect you?

-Yes, and I know that Glenda doesn't

-know about her outfit yet...

-..but the hair will depend

-on the way the fascinator sits.

-I didn't know where to start.

-The invitation contains a list

-of things you cannot wear...

-..and it was basically

-my whole wardrobe!

-You have to be very smart.

-Yes, so I'm glad Huw has agreed

-to help me.

-You look great, Glenda so thank you,

-Meinir and it's time for make-up.

-Glenda's had a busy morning

-of chatting, having her hair done...

-..trying on hatinators...

-..so it's time for some make-up

-and Lisa is perfect for the job!

-I'm going to leave you to it

-to grab a coffee.

-Lisa can give a step-by-step guide

-to recreating the look...

-..talk about the products,

-colours and effect.

-Having your hair and make-up done

-has made a world of difference.

-Are you feeling more confident?

-Are you feeling more confident?

-

-Yes, and I've enjoyed myself.

-Are you excited

-about getting dressed up?

-Yes, I am.

-I've got an array of dresses that

-can be dressed up with accessories.

-Has anything caught your eye?

-I like these colours

-and I always love a black dress.

-It's the safe choice.

-Let's go and find somewhere warm

-to try these on...

-..and you can see the results

-at the end of the programme.

-The moment has arrived.

-Was Glenda happy with her makeover?

-Let's take a look.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You look more than suitable

-for the palace.

-Thank you very much.

-You look incredible

-but are you feeling good?

-I feel great

-and have had a fantastic day.

-Thanks to Huw and the team.

-I feel like a queen!

-What have you done, Huw?

-I've met someone who's personality

-is just as strong as mine!

-That doesn't happen often.

-That doesn't happen often.

-

-No, it doesn't.

-Glenda wanted black

-so she's got black.

-Victoria Pearce, a talented designer

-from South Wales...

-..gave us a choice of headwear.

-The rest is from the high street.

-It's a smart event but

-you don't need to break the bank...

-..as this is great

-with the all-important accessories.

-There's some sparkle

-on the bag and shoes.

-Thanks to Lisa

-who painted every part of the body!

-We've had a lot of fun

-and Glenda has been fantastic.

-Elizabeth will look scruffy

-stood next to you!

-I think you're right, Rhodri.

-When are you going?

-When are you going?

-

-It's 16 May.

-Send us a photograph.

-Yes, I will.

-You looked lovely, Glenda

-and enjoy yourself at the palace.

-I'm sure you're all familiar

-with the presenter, Roy Noble.

-How many of you knew...

-..that Roy is a fan

-of collecting ties?

-Roy has over 500 ties.

-Believe it or not,

-there's a story behind each one.

-Over the years, Roy Noble

-has collected hundreds of ties.

-He's bought some but most are from

-his public speaking engagements...

-..at rugby clubs, with societies,

-choirs and for Eisteddfods.

-The time has come to bid them

-farewell for a very worthy cause.

-This is a great collection of ties

-of all kinds and colours.

-How many ties have you collected

-over the years?

-There's over 500.

-Why have you chosen to put them up

-for auction or give them away now?

-I've just got too many.

-A charity or something

-could benefit from them.

-I've promised to give two dozen

-to a charity in Newport.

-There's also a group of ladies

-in Porthcawl...

-..called the Knitters and Natters

-so they knit and chat!

-They make a lot of things.

-They might stitch them together

-to make a blanket or quilt.

-You're famous for always

-looking smart in a tie and suit.

-I'm sure they all have

-a story to tell.

-Yes, but some of them

-cannot be broadcast!

-I've got a little trick to remember

-the reason for having the tie.

-Open it up

-and there's a white piece inside.

-This tells me

-that it's from Glynneath Rugby Club.

-I've also got a tie

-from when I was a referee.

-You'll be surprised to know

-that I couldn't play rugby...

-..but was never a referee

-on the same level as Nigel Owens.

-I can remember refereeing

-one Saturday in New Tredegar...

-..and the rain was being blown

-horizontally to Bargoed!

-New Tredegar was playing a team

-from Slough and winning easily.

-I was a bit of a homer

-in terms of refereeing.

-It was a few minutes into the second

-half and Tredegar scored again.

-I waited for the conversion

-and someone called "Ref, Ref!"

-"The chicken and chips are ready

-so can you finish the game early?"

-I spoke to the captains and

-we finished about 25 minutes early!

-They all have stories.

-This next one is from Fall Bay.

-I took this gig...

-..but knew nothing about Fall Bay

-and thought it was in California.

-It's actually near Llanrhidian!

-Yes, that's right.

-These two have a special place

-in my heart.

-The Ynysowen Male Voice Choir

-is linked with Aberfan.

-It was formed after the disaster.

-I also worked in Senghenydd.

-We've recently marked the centenary

-of that disaster.

-Next, I have some fond memories.

-I did look quite good at one point!

-That's from the days when I was

-one of the presenters on Heno.

-I tried to find that tie and it

-isn't quite right but close enough.

-I can't find it so it's probably

-with the 200 I gave away!

-They were great days

-with the lovely Ena, Sian...

-..Angharad and Elinor.

-Those were my golden years!

-Will you be upset

-to see them all going?

-No, not now.

-I'll keep about 20 of them...

-..and I hope the rest can be used

-to help others.

-The ties are going to new homes...

-..but the memories and stories

-will live on in your heart.

-Yes, and many of them

-hold a special place in my heart.

-I'm grateful to have been invited

-to speak at so many events.

-That's got to mean something.

-That's got to mean something.

-

-Yes, definitely.

-That's what I call a collection!

-That's all for today.

-Time has flown!

-Don't forget to join us again

-next week.

-Until next week...

-..keep practicing your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-but have plenty of fun too.

-A very good morning to you all.
