-Hello and welcome

-to another Bore Da in my company.

-We hope you've had a good weekend...

-..and that you're ready

-to enjoy with us.

-On today's programme,

-Gerallt receives some camping tips.

-Daf Wyn plays a round of golf

-with Sir Gareth Edwards.

-We visit Hedd Wyn's home, Yr Ysgwrn.

-Rhodri Davies looks back at the life

-and contributions of J F Kennedy.

-We chat to the Paralympian,

-Aled Sion Davies.

-There's something to everyone's

-taste over the next hour.

-Sit back and enjoy Bore Da.

-We start the programme

-at the Maes...

-..of the Bridgend Taff-Ely

-Urdd National Eisteddfod.

-It was a very successful week

-with thousands of people...

-..descending on the Maes.

-A special announcement was made at

-the Mudiad Meithrin tent on Tuesday.

-I ventured over to take a look

-at the proceedings.

-The New National Centre of Learning

-Welsh was founded last August.

-We've been encouraging learners

-with details of Welsh lessons.

-Today, we're launching a

-partnership with Mudiad Meithrin.

-Thousands of children start their

-Welsh journeys at Mudiad Meithrin.

-We're eager to guarantee their

-parents get the same opportunity...

-..to learn the language through

-activities and lessons.

-Sam hears the laughter.

-Lucy and Rhodri represent something

-special and familiar...

-..of one fluent Welsh speaking

-parent and the other learning Welsh.

-They will represent the way

-the centre is hoping to work.

-We hope to give the chance to those

-who don't receive Welsh lessons...

-..to have the opportunity and

-to be supported...

-..while their children

-learn in Welsh schools.

-Well done, I'm so happy.

-When I was younger...

-..we didn't have any Welsh speaking

-family or friends.

-I married Rhodri

-and he's a Welsh speaker.

-A lot of my work involves

-the Welsh Language.

-The language is important to me.

-Our son attends a Welsh school...

-..and I'm excited to see him

-speak Welsh and English.

-It's amazing.

-There are around 16,000

-Welsh learners across Wales.

-We're eager to attract

-more learners.

-The parents who send their children

-to Welsh education and nurseries...

-..will benefit from learning Welsh

-with the correct support.

-Good luck to everyone involved

-with the venture.

-Recently, we marked 100 years

-since the birth...

-..of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

-JFK was the youngest president in

-American history to be elected.

-His death in Dallas back in 1963...

-..has been a talking point

-for many years.

-Many remember where they were

-when they heard the news.

-Let's hear more about his history

-from Rhodri Davies.

-He was born in Massachusetts...

-..as the second son of Joe Kennedy,

-the billionaire and businessman.

-He was a Catholic

-who hailed from Ireland.

-It's rumoured he was with the Mob

-and bootlegging during prohibition.

-This was a man

-who wanted to go places.

-The eldest son, Joe Junior

-was killed during World War II...

-..and John was also injured.

-The fact that JFK had won a medal

-was ideal to invoke sympathy...

-..and pride in this hero.

-Marrying Jacqueline Bouvier was

-a wise step towards the White House.

-He was young, good looking

-and had a beautiful wife.

-They created their own mystery.

-There was a spirit of success

-in the United States.

-In the 1960 election, Kennedy and

-Nixon agreed to a debate on camera.

-It was a wonderful opportunity

-for the young democrat.

-He looked good

-and gave a clear argument.

-Nixon always looked shifty

-and Kennedy took advantage of that.

-He won the debate

-and only just won the election.

-Some claim he had the assistance

-of the Mafia.

-His speech on accepting

-the presidency was iconic.

-Ask not what your country

-can do for you.

-Ask what you can do

-for your country.

-The same is true of the response

-to the crises that followed.

-Vietnam, the Berlin Wall, the

-famous Ich bin ein Berliner speech.

-We also had the Bay of Pigs.

-The biggest challenge came with

-his failure to overthrow Castro.

-Fidel Castro claimed

-that they didn't feel safe...

-..and they were 100 miles away

-from America.

-They invited the Soviet Union to

-bring their missiles to the island.

-Russia and America came very close

-to having a nuclear war.

-It's lucky that Kennedy stood up

-to Khrushchev and peace returned.

-You had this young man.

-He wasn't like Alex Douglas-Hume

-or Macmillan or Harold Wilson.

-He looked as hip as The Beatles.

-But failures and dubious links...

-..of this ladies'

-man are often ignored.

-Any young person in office is

-instantly compared to the Kennedys.

-When a wealthy person such as

-Donald Trump enters into office...

-..then comparisons

-are not made in the same way.

-There was something obsessive

-about this man and women.

-The most famous person

-in his life was Marilyn Monroe.

-He also enticed female students

-into the White House...

-..and a former girlfriend

-of Frank Sinatra.

-His contribution was immense as he

-launched the US drive to the moon...

-..and fought for equal

-and civil rights.

-The events of that dark day

-in Dallas shook the world.

-It was 22 November 1963 and we had

-our first television in Harlech...

-..and I remember crying when I heard

-that he had been assassinated.

-People questioned

-whether one man was responsible.

-He couldn't be interrogated

-because he was shot by Jack Ruby.

-We couldn't learn the truth

-so it's shrouded in mystery.

-He didn't manage to accomplish

-everything that he wanted.

-A story without a conclusion

-invites people to complete it.

-It's odd to think of JFK

-being 100 years old.

-In our minds...

-..he's still young and handsome

-with a beautiful wife.

-He's frozen in time

-so we cannot comprehend his legacy.

-Thank you for sharing JFK's

-incredible story with us, Rhodri.

-Last week was National Camping

-and Caravanning Week.

-Camping is very popular in Wales.

-Gerallt Pennant and Carwyn Jones

-have a few handy tips for us.

-It isn't the most comfortable place

-in the world, Carwyn...

-..but it's good enough

-for the wild and hard man.

-It's practical, light, easy to use

-and perfect for this time of year.

-I would be wary of using it during

-any other season due to temperature.

-You have to use common sense

-when considering wild camping.

-You need permission from the

-land owner and a First Aid kit.

-Things do go wrong

-and I've found myself in trouble.

-But you have to make sure

-that you prepare.

-If you fancy more luxury

-than sleeping on a hard floor...

-..come to the Ty Newydd Farm

-campsite in the Lleyn Peninsula.

-The Daily Telegraph nominated it

-as one of the best camping spots.

-The owners are delighted.

-We received an email

-from the Daily Telegraph...

-..nominating us as one

-of the 15 best camping sites.

-Many of the families that come here

-have grown up with us.

-They've got married and now bring

-their own children...

-..to have the same experiences.

-This is a special

-and quiet location.

-We're lucky that 85%

-of our customers are regulars...

-..and new guests settle in quickly.

-Our guests are more like friends

-than customers.

-There's no better place to get

-camping advice than the Eisteddfod.

-We asked the Bridgend

-Eisteddfod-goers for their tips.

-Take plenty of clothes...

-..remember your pegs and enjoy!

-I enjoy camping as you get to spend

-time with your family...

-..and compete in the Eisteddfod.

-It's a lot of fun and different.

-There's a lot of going to bed late

-and waking up very early.

-We've never camped, but thought

-it would be a good adventure.

-We've had a fantastic time.

-They certainly enjoyed

-at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-I'm at Llanfihangel-y-Pennant

-and I'm joined by Llion Pughe.

-I might be told off

-for calling this a campsite!

-What exactly do you have here?

-This is a glamping site.

-However, this isn't

-any ordinary glamping site either.

-We've created the site to coincide

-with Wales' Year of Legends.

-We've packaged

-an experience of Wales...

-..and what it feels like

-to be Welsh...

-..to show the world.

-Each of these units

-have been based...

-..on a Welsh legend.

-Those staying in the cabins...

-..will be introduced

-to our Welsh culture.

-Cabins in the Wild is a series

-on Chanel 4 every Sunday.

-The cabin behind us

-appeared on the programme.

-This cabin was designed by

-Dick Strawbridge and Will Hardie.

-The other cabins

-have also won awards.

-We competed against designers

-from all over the world.

-Two Welsh designers

-are in their midst.

-What does the future hold

-for the cabins?

-After this month, they will travel

-to the Llyn Peninsula.

-Eventually, we hope to find

-a permanent home for the cabins.

-We're still looking for a site.

-This is also a great opportunity

-as we're also searching for staff.

-If you're looking for a summer job,

-get in touch with us.

-The passing tractor proves that we

-are in the heart of the countryside!

-There's no better place

-to come camping and to relax.

-Let's hope that you'll

-experience better weather!

-Those tips were very handy.

-After the break...

-..Daf Wyn enjoys a round of golf

-with Sir Gareth Edwards.

-We reminisce with the

-famous singer, Trebor Edwards.

-Heulwen Haf wants your help.

-Keep watching to find out more.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Sir Gareth Edwards is one of the

-most famous rugby players...

-..to ever wear the Welsh shirt.

-These days,

-he's enjoying his retirement...

-..and he's turned his attention from

-an oval ball, to a small round one.

-The golf course at the Celtic Manor

-has hosted many world-class events.

-This includes the Ryder Cup in 2010.

-Sir Gareth Edwards has organized his

-special golfing event once again...

-..and there's not one, nor two,

-but three reasons to celebrate.

-I started this ten years ago

-when I was 60.

-I'm now 70...

-..and it's 50 years since

-winning my first cap for Wales.

-I've got a golfing day...

-..with players from all

-sorts of sport...

-..to enjoy this glorious course

-with me.

-I feel like a child opening

-my presents on Christmas morning...

-..as I see all these players

-and people again.

-You're a skilled rugby player but

-are you any good on the golf course?

-I'll answer that by saying

-I don't know yet!

-The most important thing

-is that we all have fun.

-You won't reveal your handicap.

-You won't reveal your handicap.

-

-No.

-Over the years, the Sir Gareth

-Edwards' Charity Golf Day...

-..held at the Twenty Ten Club

-has raised money for many charities.

-He's invited many friends

-to help the cause.

-It's a fun day so I doubt anyone

-is feeling competitive!

-Gareth is incredible and a childhood

-hero so I like to support him.

-The sun is coming out...

-..and I'm looking forward to a round

-on this Ryder Cup course.

-We'll have to wait and see

-if my golf skills are any good.

-Who do you think is going to win

-today?

-Some of the lads are great players

-with excellent handicaps.

-Some are better

-than their handicaps!

-Zinzan, Swanney and the other lads

-are very competitive...

-..and will get some great scores.

-Most of the guys

-are pretty competitive.

-We are a little bit older but

-the competitive streak hasn't died.

-The flame is still burning!

-I didn't play very well last time

-from the first tee.

-I don't see the point in joining

-the lads at the driving range.

-Gareth said about going to hit

-a few balls.

-Everyone agreed and we jumped up and

-I'm here to go and have a practice.

-We've been told to be assembled here

-at 11.45am for the de-briefing.

-It means we're not going to do it

-so we'll just rely on natural skill.

-It's the tenth anniversary,

-50 years since Gareth's first cap...

-..and his 70th birthday...

-..so they had to celebrate

-with some cake...

-..and some champagne too!

-Gareth and team did some celebrating

-but how were the other teams?

-We're having a laugh.

-I don't think we're taking it

-as seriously as the other teams.

-We're having a good time.

-It's good and I've had two pars.

-I've only played seven holes

-but it's a tough golf course.

-It stops you getting big-headed!

-You're walking

-as opposed to taking a buggy.

-I need to lose some weight somehow

-and I'd better go so ta-ra!

-Good luck.

-But how's Gareth getting on?

-I've played better.

-But we've had a lot of fun

-in some great company.

-There's been plenty of food

-and drinks at each hole...

-..which probably didn't help

-the cause but it's wonderful.

-It's more about the taking part

-than the winning!

-Yes, it's the Olympic Ideal

-of taking part.

-Believe that

-and you'll believe anything!

-It looked like a memorable day.

-Over the summer, Prynhawn Da

-will have a series of items...

-..on various clubs.

-Heulwen Haf will present the series

-and she wants to hear from you.

-I'm in my golden years.

-I'm not as young as I once was.

-You look wonderful.

-I still try to look after myself.

-I want to meet like-minded people...

-..who still enjoy keeping fit...

-..and having fun.

-Many people above a certain age

-are lonely.

-Sometimes, we can be a little shy...

-..but clubs are a great way of

-socialising and meeting friends.

-You might meet new or old friends.

-Perhaps you can't play bowls

-but you're having fun anyway.

-I want to give it a go...

-..and meet the people

-who are members of these clubs.

-You might be part of a dance group

-like ballroom...

-..or line-dancing.

-I want to meet you at your club.

-It's important to socialise.

-The popularity of these clubs

-spread through word of mouth.

-One person might want to play chess,

-but don't have anyone to play with.

-But, there are groups

-that you can join.

-The groups can grow in popularity

-very quickly.

-Chess is good for the brain and

-I would like to try it.

-Chess, dominoes and whist

-is very popular.

-There might be a bingo

-club out there.

-Bingo keeps people on their toes.

-I'd like to visit

-a cookery club too.

-I need some help.

-Can you cook?

-Can you cook?

-

-No, not at all!

-You'd be great at a drama club.

-Do you think that

-I'd be good at drama?

-I'd love to try it.

-I might be the worst one there,

-but I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

-There are different roles

-within the groups.

-Not everyone wants to act...

-..so there are people

-needed for backstage.

-There are lots of people who work

-in the background.

-There is more to a club

-than what you first see.

-You need all sorts of people

-to establish a club.

-There's always someone who makes

-the tea and sandwiches.

-We all have something to offer.

-Everyone is welcome and

-different characters are needed.

-It's important to have

-conflicting characters too.

-All different characters

-add something to these clubs.

-The body and mind needs the

-chance to be a part of something.

-It gives you a chance

-to voice your opinion.

-You'll be visiting a gardening club

-during the summer series.

-Are you a keen gardener?

-Are you a keen gardener?

-

-No!

-You'll have a lot of fun

-on this series.

-I can only grow geraniums

-and chive!

-That's a good start.

-Do you have the chives

-on your kitchen windowsill?

-I haven't put them in the pot yet!

-I'm not a keen gardener,

-but I do have a fork and trowel.

-However,

-I'm willing to give it a go.

-Someone will be ready to help me.

-There are clubs that encourage

-Welsh-learners too.

-It's amazing how much people can

-gain from various clubs.

-There are also rambling clubs.

-There are walking clubs

-but I can't walk too far.

-Is there a shopping club?

-I'd be good in a shopping club!

-After all the drama,

-gardening and drama...

-..people get to socialise

-after these clubs too.

-Clubs often go on trips

-to places like Cardiff.

-Club members have a

-wonderful time together.

-They bring people together.

-You want people to get in touch.

-I'd like people to get in touch

-to tell me about their clubs.

-You can get in touch

-with Prynhawn Da.

-They can tell us what type

-of club they attend.

-I hope they will welcome me.

-I want to see you gardening

-and cooking.

-The details are on the screen now.

-We want to see you get

-your hands dirty!

-I need to find a sensible group.

-Get in touch

-and we look forward to the series.

-We'd love to hear from you.

-Heulwen would love to visit you.

-Thank you.

-Make sure you contact Heulwen.

-Trebor Edwards is a famous singer.

-He's performed on various stages

-around the world.

-Gerallt visited Trebor's farm

-to speak to the man himself.

-Pen y Bryniau is the perfect name

-for this farm, Trebor.

-Yes, as the name reflects

-the location on top of the hills.

-What can we see from here?

-Cerrigydrudion

-is in that direction.

-The village of Betws Gwerfil Goch

-is in the other direction.

-Over the bank, we have Corwen

-and I'm in the middle.

-You're known

-as a farmer and singer...

-..and competing at the Royal Welsh

-Show is important to your family.

-Yes, but it's the lads who do the

-most competing...

-..and live for it.

-They love it!

-My grandsons also compete

-and they really enjoy it too.

-Looking back, I'm sure some shows

-are more important than others.

-The Royal Welsh Show

-and Winter Fair...

-..are both very important.

-They were either

-reserve champions...

-..or have won the championship...

-..and they love competing.

-Their father and grandfather

-have encouraged them to do it all.

-Yes, we try.

-But the lads

-have competed themselves...

-..but they help my grandsons

-or their own sons.

-This place

-is the centre of your world...

-..but your singing career has taken

-you all over Wales and the world.

-I haven't travelled

-the whole world...

-..but seen some of it so am lucky.

-Ann, my wife, always travels with me

-and she loves it too.

-I've been lucky to have the lads.

-I went to Hong Kong many years ago

-for St David's Day...

-..and thought it was at the ends

-of the world.

-The lads said, "You've got to go as

-you won't get this chance again."

-They looked after the sheep during

-lambing season...

-..and they did well.

-You've had the lambing season

-but farming never has a quiet time.

-No, because

-the cows are in calf now.

-I've been very lucky.

-It's one extreme to the other...

-..which makes farming

-so interesting.

-Is the word "retire" in the vocab

-of a farmer and Trebor Edwards?

-Well...

-I've just transferred the farm

-over to my two sons.

-Gwyn, Lyn and the children

-are at Pencraig Fawr...

-..whilst Erfyl, Menna and

-the children are in Pen y Bryniau.

-Ann and I live at Brynalaw

-to keep an eye on them!

-I've slowed down...

-..but live in poverty again.

-It's been lovely to chat with you.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

-

-Thanks for the warm welcome.

-Gerallt had a wonderful time

-on the farm with Trebor Edwards.

-After the break...

-..we chat to the Paralympian,

-Aled Sion Davies.

-Emma Jenkins has beauty tips

-for those who wear glasses.

-Don't go too far!

-Welcome back.

-The Heno cameras were busy on

-the Maes of the Urdd Eisteddfod...

-..as they chatted

-to many famous faces.

-The Paralympian, Aled Sion Davies

-was one of those famous faces.

-He was chosen as a Day President.

-Daf Wyn chatted to Aled

-about the honour...

-..and to wish him luck for the

-World Championships in Athletics.

-Aled, thanks for chatting to us

-despite being very busy today.

-You're the President

-of the Eisteddfod.

-Yes, I'm proud of my title

-as it's held in my hometown.

-How does it feel to be home?

-How does it feel to be home?

-

-I'm feeling very proud.

-The Eisteddfod plays a vital role

-in promoting the Welsh language.

-It's great to see it in Bridgend

-and to be asked to be a President.

-You're going to be busy

-after the Eisteddfod.

-I'll be preparing for the

-World Championships in London.

-It's an enormous competition

-and will be a highlight of my life.

-I can't wait to compete in

-both games in front of a home crowd.

-Describe your training schedule

-for the next eight weeks.

-I would love to hide away

-to avoid any sort of injury.

-However, I'm in a good place

-and I've broken world records.

-I'll be busy preparing

-to compete on the world stage.

-I can say that I'll be out of the

-country but I can't reveal where.

-I'll be keeping fit and healthy.

-How many hours will you spend

-in the gym and what about your diet?

-I'll just continue with the

-same regime I've had for two years.

-Since 2014, I've stepped up

-my training to the next level.

-I've won everything under the sun...

-..and I want to continue to do so

-because I hate losing!

-What have you got planned

-after the World Championships?

-I'm going to take some time off.

-There's another World Championship

-in 2019 and then the Tokyo Olympics.

-I used to look ahead

-to the next four years...

-..but after Rio, I decided

-to take one year at a time.

-My receding hairline tells me...

-..that I don't have

-many more years to compete!

-You're busy so thanks for the chat

-and good luck with the training.

-It's been great to see you.

-It's been great to see you.

-

-Thank you.

-Good luck to Aled at the

-World Championships in Athletics.

-If you wear glasses and

-have problems with make-up...

-..listen carefully to this advice

-from Emma Jenkins.

-Use the glasses as a way

-of glamorising the face.

-You can choose different colours

-for certain occasions.

-Use them as an accessory as opposed

-to something you have to wear.

-I'm going to start with lipsticks.

-Some people don't feel they can wear

-a bright lipstick.

-You have to experiment...

-..to find the best colour for you.

-These are by Max Factor.

-This is a new collection.

-These matte lipsticks look great.

-The matte colours are solid.

-The matte colours create more

-of a statement.

-I'm going to put this lovely

-coral colour on Iona.

-Iona is wearing natural colours.

-The lipstick is going to be the main

-point of this look.

-These are reasonably priced.

-You can afford to experiment

-without breaking the bank.

-Make-Up Revolution from Superdrug...

-..also have some wonderful colours.

-They are much cheaper

-than the Max Factor brand.

-Go in to the stores, take some

-tissues and make-up remover...

-..and try them out.

-Are you listening?

-I prefer to wear my contact lenses.

-Sian doesn't like to wear them.

-Are you confident wearing bright

-coloured lipsticks?

-I don't like to wear bright colours.

-You've worn glasses for many years.

-I've worn glasses

-since the age of two.

-I don't tend to wear a lot

-of make-up.

-It can be problematic

-as you need specific lighting.

-I have to use a big mirror...

-..to see where I apply it.

-Have you tried contact lenses?

-I did try contact lenses

-when I was 20.

-I got them in Cardigan,

-walked around the town...

-..but I couldn't see my way back.

-I haven't tried them since.

-That's fair.

-If you do want to apply something

-to the eye...

-..place your finger

-into a colour like gold...

-..and put it on the eyelid.

-It will add a bit of brightness

-to the eye...

-..without having to be too careful.

-You'll have to give it a go, Iona.

-Next, we have Sophie.

-For those who are slightly

-more confident...

-..there are wonderful

-eye shadow palettes available.

-These Seventeen palettes...

-..are currently on offer as

-buy one get one for half price.

-You can get both of these palettes

-for around 10.

-They have a variety of colours.

-I like this palette.

-If Sophie removes her glasses.

-I've added some gold for this look.

-You get a lot of different colours

-in this palette.

-I know a lot of women who worry

-about using the sparkly colours...

-..while others like

-to wear the creams.

-There are creams and

-eye shadows on this.

-They look wonderful,

-but be careful when applying these.

-Don't put the sparkly eye shadow

-in any of the creases.

-You don't want the creases

-to look more prominent.

-Place the eye shadow

-on to your finger...

-..an rub across the eyelid.

-You don't have to apply

-any more make-up.

-I've used the brown in a V shape.

-It will add more shape to the eye.

-If you can't see what you're doing,

-it's easier to use your finger.

-What do we have next?

-This eye liner is by Bourjois.

-Most women worry about applying

-eye liner for the first time.

-This is wonderful.

-This product allows you...

-..to create as much thickness

-as you want.

-Eye liners give the eye

-more definition...

-..and it draws attention to the eye.

-It enables you to see the eye

-clearer from behind the glass.

-I'm trying not to hide Sophie's face

-while I give her the line.

-This is difficult.

-All of these are reasonably priced.

-You don't have to spend a fortune

-to have a go.

-For those who don't feel

-confident...

-..you can use a cotton wool bud...

-..to tidy up the areas.

-Iona's had plenty of tips now.

-We're expecting big things.

-We're expecting big things.

-

-Thank you.

-Thank you, Emma.

-In the final part...

-..we'll visit Dan in the kitchen.

-Get your pen and paper ready

-for the recipe.

-We also visit Yr Ysgwrn...

-Welcome back.

-Have you heard of the poet,

-Hedd Wyn?

-His birth name

-was Ellis Humphrey Evans...

-..and he used the name,

-Hedd Wyn as a Poetic name.

-In his short life, he won many

-Eisteddfod Chairs for his poetry.

-He won the National Eisteddfod Chair

-in 1917 for the first time...

-..despite many previous attempts.

-Sadly, Hedd Wyn was killed

-in World War I...

-..before hearing the news.

-The Eisteddfod decided to hold the

-Chairing ceremony in his memory.

-A black cloth was placed over the

-Chair, as a sign of respect.

-The Chair that Hedd Wyn won at the

-National Eisteddfod of 1917...

-..is known as the Black Chair.

-Hedd Wyn's home,

-Yr Ysgwrn is in Trawsfynydd.

-Last week,

-Gerallt Pennant was there...

-..as Snowdonia National Park

-reopened its doors...

-..following months of building

-and a large investment.

-Pupils from Ysgol Morgan Llwyd

-in Wrexham...

-..were the first to see Yr Ysgwrn

-at its official opening.

-It was a busy day for those who work

-at the former home of Hedd Wyn.

-You'd go to the fireplace

-to keep warm.

-The fireplace was important and

-you couldn't do a lot without it.

-Hedd Wyn was just one of thousands

-killed in the Great War...

-..and 34 men were from Trawsfynydd.

-Thousands of men in Wales

-were killed...

-..and Hedd Wyn acts as a reminder

-of all those lost lives.

-What was in your mind as you greeted

-the pupils from Ysgol Morgan Llwyd?

-I was a little anxious

-that it would all run smoothly.

-But it was wonderful

-to show the Year 9 pupils...

-..where Hedd Wyn lived.

-It gave me a warm feeling to open

-the door to them once again.

-I knew a little bit

-about Hedd Wyn...

-..but have learnt a lot more

-after visiting his home.

-I've learnt why Hedd Wyn went to war

-and a lot of other things...

-..such as his story

-before going to war.

-There's also details

-of how, why and when he died.

-Today, I'll remember all that we

-learnt about Hedd Wyn's family...

-..and his life before the war.

-It was interesting to see

-the Black Chair...

-..because Hedd Wyn

-didn't get to sit in it...

-..but he won it whilst at war.

-It's wonderful to see so many

-young people visiting Yr Ysgwrn.

-Yes, and the house

-has changed considerably.

-They removed all the furniture

-and took it to South Wales...

-..and some spiders joined them

-for a holiday!

-I never saw them again.

-It has changed a lot.

-For the better.

-There's still a roaring fire.

-Yes, and it's the best fire

-I've seen.

-Following years of planning

-and developing...

-..it's great to reopen

-the door at Yr Ysgwrn.

-I hope the door will remain open

-and the welcome is just as warm...

-..as it always has been by

-Yr Ysgwrn family over the years.

-Make sure you visit.

-It's an incredible experience.

-Next, we head to the kitchen.

-But what is Dan preparing for us.

-We'll prepare the bruschetta

-with some sour dough.

-I'm going to cut the bread into

-pieces to create our toast.

-This is a light dish.

-I like eating mackerel

-from West Wales.

-I have it when I return

-to Ceredigion.

-Scatter olive oil over the

-bread and fry it.

-Leave the bread for a few minutes.

-Let's move on to the mackerel.

-I've removed the bones

-from the mackerel fillets.

-You can use some tweezers

-to do this.

-Can you ask the fishmonger

-to prepare it?

-The fishmonger will do it for you.

-The oil is spitting.

-The fresh fish

-are starting to spatter.

-Place it skin side down

-in the pan...

-..before placing the pan

-back on the heat.

-I haven't seasoned it yet...

-..as it remove the moisture.

-Serve it with a fresh salsa.

-Finely slice a red onion.

-Red onions are very popular.

-Red onions are nicer in salads.

-It's a lighter flavour

-than white onions.

-Next, I'm going to be using

-tomatoes.

-Quarter or half

-some cherry tomatoes.

-I like to throw them in.

-You also need to keep

-checking the bread.

-I need to turn up the heat

-under the bread.

-You're toasting the bread

-on both sides.

-I want the bread to have some colour

-and a bit of crust.

-Let's move on to the pine nuts.

-I've toasted some pine nuts

-in the oven for five minutes.

-Toasting them will help the flavour.

-They tend to be crunchier

-after cooking.

-Do you eat the skin of the fish?

-I like the skin to be crispy.

-Season the skin of the mackerel.

-This will attract the moisture

-and dry out the meat.

-Add a touch of lemon juice.

-There's a lot of nourishment

-in the skin.

-Add a touch of lemon juice

-to the salsa.

-I'm also adding fresh parsley.

-Add it to the bowl.

-You need plenty of olive oil.

-The bread is coming along nicely.

-Does it matter what bread you use?

-No, you can use any bread

-for the bruschetta.

-Any sort of bread is great for this.

-Let's get back to the salsa.

-I need a spoon.

-Spoon it onto the toast.

-You present it really well.

-I'll place the mackerel on top.

-I'll make this on the weekend.

-Finish this with some soft cheese.

-Is anything added to the cheese?

-Squeeze some fresh lemon over the

-top but don't overly mix it.

-That looks like a main meal.

-Many people eat bruschetta

-as a starter.

-Finish it with some olive oil.

-Owain can't wait to dive in!

-This is a fresh and light

-dish for the summer.

-Thank you, Dan.

-Can I have a fork?

-Go for it, Owain.

-As I get older,

-I'm eating more fish.

-Mmmm!

-That's delicious.

-That looked tasty!

-Thank you, Dan.

-That's all we have time for today.

-The hour has flown by once again.

-I'll be back the same time

-next week.

-Make sure you keep practising

-your Welsh.

-It's important to give it a go and

-have plenty of fun.

-Good morning.
