-Subtitles

-Hello and welcome

-to the final Bore Da of June.

-The weather has been fantastic.

-We hope you made the most of it.

-Sit back and relax with us

-this morning.

-This is what you can expect to see

-before 10.00am.

-We travel to the Isle of Man

-with Daf Wyn...

-..to meet Welsh speaking residents.

-I return to college

-for a hairdressing lesson.

-Yes, hairdressing.

-We meet Finley Burrows of

-Ysgol Gwaun y Nant, Barry...

-..who was one of the stars

-of this year's Eisteddfod.

-We enjoy a historical pub crawl

-around the pubs of Ceredigion.

-Gwion Dafydd has handy saving tips

-for us.

-Without any further ado,

-on with the show.

-We start the programme

-on the Isle of Man.

-It was recently the home

-of the Celtic Media Festival...

-..and during his stay, Daf Wyn

-met a Welsh speaking resident.

-Good afternoon, how are you?

-Good afternoon, how are you?

-

-I'm good.

-WELCOME S4C.

-How did you start learning Welsh?

-I lived in Ulow for a long time.

-Later, I worked in Denbigh...

-..and we had Welsh lessons

-in the office.

-Why did you want to learn?

-I lived in Wales...

-..and worked with people...

-..who spoke Welsh.

-Is Welsh difficult?

-It was difficult.

-Do you get the chance to speak Welsh

-on the Isle of Man?

-I speak Welsh to Steph,

-but that's it.

-You also speak Manx.

-Are there similarities

-between the two?

-Yes, there are.

-Excuse me for turning to English.

-For example, there's seaside,

-which is "er y traie" in Manx.

-Or "ar y traeth" in Welsh.

-Wave is "tonn" in Manx and

-"ton" in Welsh.

-There are common words

-which are very similar.

-Hand is "law" in Manx and

-"llaw" in Welsh.

-What is thank you in Manx?

-"Gura mie ayd."

-"Gura mie ayd."

-

-"Gura mie ayd."

-"Gura mie ayd" or thank you.

-"Slaynt vie" or cheers.

-"Slaynt vie" or cheers.

-

-"Slaynt vie."

-Daf always gets the best jobs.

-Next, it's time for me to head back

-to college for a special day.

-I regret not listening more...

-..in my woodwork

-and cookery lessons...

-..because I'm awful at DIY

-and I certainly can't cook!

-Therefore, I've come to

-Coleg Ceredigion for a few lessons.

-Coleg Ceredigion is hosting

-an open day...

-..for prospective students.

-We're combining the open day

-with the Hands On Open Day.

-This is aimed at groups of pupils

-from the area's primary schools.

-I've enjoyed the IT department

-as I could work with my friends.

-It was fun to try something new

-that's different to school.

-I don't know what I want to be...

-..but I'd like to work in IT

-as I enjoy being on the computer.

-Val, I'm hopeless at cake decorating

-so can you show me how?

-I'm sure I'll be able

-to teach you a trick or two.

-You need to take your time.

-Make a ball.

-Perhaps you'll be better

-at making a strawberry.

-You can decide which one is best!

-Thanks, Val.

-What's your favourite thing so far?

-I've enjoyed

-construction and cooking.

-What have you been building?

-We've built a wall

-and helped make a roof.

-Today has been very valuable to me

-as I've learnt lots of new things.

-I've really enjoyed

-doing animation.

-Mary, how are you?

-Mary, how are you?

-

-I'm good, thank you.

-Mary, you're one of the students

-here at the college.

-You've come to college

-for the first time ever.

-Yes, I've become a student

-at 51 and three-quarters!

-You've come to study hairdressing.

-Can you show me a simple hairstyle?

-I could give you a trim?

-Nobody touches this hair

-but thanks for the offer.

-My hands are shaking.

-What about this?

-What about this?

-

-It's different.

-I was aiming for a different style.

-I'll give you seven out of ten.

-You're generous.

-You're generous.

-

-I'm being kind.

-I had a wonderful day.

-Thanks to everyone for the welcome.

-Mike and Jules Peters are trekking

-the 130 miles around Wales...

-..to raise money for the

-Blue Sky cancer charity.

-On Tuesday, they trekked from Rhyl

-to Colwyn Bay...

-..and Gerallt Pennant joined them

-on their journey.

-Walking 130 miles is the challenge

-faced by Mike and Jules Peters.

-They are raising money

-for By Your Side...

-..Mike's charity for cancer.

-Both Mike and Jules

-have battled cancer.

-To date, they have raised 270,000

-for By Your Side...

-..and their work continued

-in the Rhyl sunshine this morning.

-And here's Mike and Jules

-on day six.

-What support in Rhyl!

-It's fantastic to be in Rhyl

-and we're straight out of Rhyl.

-It's so amazing to be here with

-all these school kids from Rhyl.

-Every day, we've engaged with school

-kids and having an amazing time.

-I've taken a week and a half off

-work to support Mike and Jules...

-..and walk across North Wales

-for this campaign.

-We started at Flint Castle

-last Thursday.

-We hope to reach Snowdon's summit

-on Saturday for Snowdon Rocks.

-This is so important...

-..because every family

-is affected by cancer.

-The Rotary Clubs of North Wales

-are proud to support Mike and Jules.

-Every club within the catchment

-of their walk is doing its part...

-..to collect money for a cause...

-..that has touched the hearts

-of so many.

-I was devastated

-when I was diagnosed...

-..a year to the day

-of talking to you.

-I'm so grateful and humbled

-by the people taking care of me.

-I am walking 130 miles and about

-to culminate in going up Snowdon...

-..where I was a year ago

-and I've been fixed.

-Jules was talking about Snowdon.

-The finale to all this is

-another concert with Snowdon Rocks.

-We'll be singing on the summit and

-it's going to be an amazing day.

-So many people from the community

-in North Wales are coming out...

-..to show their gratitude

-to the NHS in North Wales.

-Good luck, Mike and Jules

-and keep climbing!

-Yes, onwards!

-Well done to them.

-They do some fantastic work

-to raise funds.

-That's it for part one.

-After the break...

-..Owain Gwynedd looks at Taekwondo.

-One of Wales' most famous DJs,

-DJ Bry from Sianel 5...

-..has a new kitchen project.

-We enjoy a picnic with our style

-expert, Lowri Steffan.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Have you heard of taekwondo?

-I don't know much

-about the sport...

-..but Owain Gwynedd

-has all the information we need.

-Since Jade Jones won a gold medal

-at the London and Rio Olympics...

-..taekwondo has grown in popularity

-and appeals to all ages.

-Where will the next Jade Jones

-or Lutalo Muhammad come from?

-It's quite likely

-that it will be here...

-..at the Ninja Dragons

-Martial Arts Academy in Cardiff.

-Among the stars of the future

-are two pupils of Ysgol Plasmawr.

-They're busy

-making a name for themselves.

-I started around seven years ago...

-..and back then,

-it was just a bit of fun.

-The more I did,

-the more I enjoyed it.

-Taekwondo is mixed martial arts...

-..and self defence.

-You start by improving fitness...

-..with press-ups and running.

-We need to keep

-our fitness levels up.

-We then introduce kicks

-before moving on to breaking boards.

-The lessons don't just teach them

-how to break furniture!

-It's all about self-control

-and self-discipline.

-I started because all my friends

-were doing it.

-I thought it would be a bit of fun

-and it would boost my confidence.

-I participated in my first

-competition when I was eight.

-It was the British Championships...

-..and that's where I won

-my first gold.

-There were lots of competitors

-in my first ever competition.

-I competed against fighters

-that were much older than me.

-It was a competition for under 12s

-but I was only nine years old.

-I was proud when I won against a

-twelve-year-old boy in the final.

-I have to admit that I was scared

-when I saw all these fighters.

-However, they look like

-they're having so much fun.

-Taekwondo isn't as easy

-as it looks...

-..for someone

-with two left feet.

-I like to think

-that I'm quite fit and tough...

-..but some of these six-year-olds

-can kick harder than me!

-There are around 400 little ninjas

-at this thriving club.

-We've done particularly well

-with the students that we have.

-We teach on a Saturday morning.

-If there's a competition,

-I put extra training on.

-Some of the club's

-36 British Champions...

-..have been chosen to compete

-on the world stage.

-I went to Hatfield in London to

-compete in the World Championship.

-I couldn't believe it

-when I was stood on the podium.

-It felt like a dream

-and it was incredible.

-At the World Championships...

-..I won the champion high kick...

-..where you have to kick the pads

-which are held up high in the air.

-After seeing the talent

-at the club...

-..I'm sure one of these athletes

-will reach the Commonwealth Games...

-..or the Olympics

-and emulate Jade Jones' success.

-On the day of the competition...

-..I wondered if I could

-be as good as her, one day.

-I hope it will happen

-but we'll have to wait and see.

-The new sauce, BryBeQue has reached

-the shelves of our stores.

-Huw Bryant, one of Wales' most

-famous faces is reasonable for it.

-But you may know him as DJ Bry

-from Sianel 5.

-Those familiar with Sianel Pump,

-which is S4C's online videos...

-..you'll know the name of DJ Bry.

-You can probably guess that I'm

-going to discuss the US Elections.

-DJ Bry is more than just a presenter

-but is an entrepreneur.

-You might have seen him advertising

-his produce on S4C.

-How's the beard?

-How's the beard?

-

-It's alright.

-Would you like to try some sauce?

-Would you like to try some sauce?

-

-I'll have some sauce later!

-But what is this sauce?

-He's joined the likes of Levi Roots

-and created his own barbecue sauce.

-Come and try and some sauce,

-I haven't got all day!

-Have you got some now?

-Have you got some now?

-

-Yes, come in, come in, come in.

-I went to America

-for a few months with college...

-..and discovered real, homemade

-barbecue sauce and was mad for it!

-I came home and couldn't find

-anything like it in the shops...

-..so I started trying various

-recipes to cook and succeeded.

-Friends tried it and liked it

-and wanted a bottle.

-I didn't give it away...

-..but sold it to them

-as mates rates don't exist!

-Huw's face is on the bottle

-but it all relies on teamwork.

-I do most of the work

-but Huw won't like me saying that.

-She keeps a bowl from every batch

-for me to sample.

-We only sell items when I'm happy

-but Gwennan does a lot of cooking.

-I prefer to be by myself...

-..as I always end up

-cleaning up after him.

-Where do you keep

-all the ingredients and bottles?

-I like to save money

-and do that through buying in bulk.

-I don't buy a few hundred bottles

-but a thousand at a time!

-Those are kept at home

-with my mother, Joan.

-They are kept under lock and key

-in her garage so you can't get in.

-Huw and Gwennan are launching

-two new sauces...

-..which I had to try!

-Am I one of the first members

-of the public to try these?

-We did a few tasters

-at some food festivals...

-..so you're one

-of the first to try them.

-This is the original.

-This is the original.

-

-Yes, and it's delicious.

-Shall we try the beetroot next?

-Shall we try the beetroot next?

-

-Yes, try this one.

-Go on, dive in, Gwennan.

-It's got quite a kick.

-It's spicier than the other one

-so you'll die after the third!

-The next one has a real kick

-so I can see you're scared.

-I like spicy things but...

-Let's see.

-It hits you first

-but don't fight it.

-You're fighting it.

-It gets stronger.

-Yes, it takes time to build.

-Wait ten seconds

-and it doesn't intensify any more.

-It's perfect.

-That's lucky!

-You're doing a great job and I can't

-wait to see them on the shelves.

-I'll have more of this one.

-It'll get rid of the flavour

-of the other one.

-Take it home as we don't like waste

-but I want the plate back clean!

-I can't wait to try BryBeQue.

-With some great weather

-at the start of the week...

-..our style expert, Lowri Steffan

-has picnic style advice.

-Nothing beats a picnic

-on a sunny day.

-The fine weather is set to continue

-for the week and weekend...

-..so Lowri Steffan has some picnic

-apparatus from the high street.

-Welcome to the programme, Lowri.

-We love dining al fresco

-in this country!

-We don't get the fine weather

-to eat outdoors.

-These items have been in the stores

-for weeks on end.

-The trend is constantly developing.

-People also collect items

-for picnics and barbecues...

-..and they end up

-with a large collection.

-We've got a great collection today.

-The quality has improved.

-They're also reasonably priced.

-The days of plastic and paper plates

-are over!

-The paper plates would bend

-when you were eating on them.

-You can pick things up

-at great prices.

-We start with a wonderful

-green collection.

-There are large plastic plates

-in the collection.

-It looks like china.

-The plastic crockery from

-Laura Ashley range from 6 to 12.

-Laura Ashley currently has a sale

-with 40% off its items.

-There are plates and bowls

-available.

-Wilkinsons sells the sauce bottles

-for 1.50 for three.

-The sauce bottles are for tomato

-sauce, mayonnaise and mustard.

-The sauce bottles are the cutest

-things I've ever seen.

-They are very useful

-when going on a picnic.

-It's a smart picnic if you have

-those things for your meals!

-We've got more items that have

-a nature feel to them.

-We've also got enamel cups.

-Enamel items are a big trend.

-They are great for the outdoors.

-You can use all of these items

-for your barbecues, picnics...

-..or even just to eat in the garden.

-If you do arrange a get together in

-the garden, we have a game for you.

-The can game is 18

-from Laura Ashley.

-You could make your own version.

-Laura Ashley

-and Marks and Spencer...

-..also have some lovely bags and

-blankets.

-The blue tropical cool bag is 19.50

-from Marks and Spencer.

-Some open up to a be a bag

-and a blanket.

-You can carry your items in them

-before using it as a blanket.

-They're easy to use.

-Let's move to the table.

-There's plastic cones

-for your sundaes.

-The plastic cones are 6

-for a set of three from Wilkinsons.

-Wilkinsons has a lot of great items

-for al fresco dining.

-Next, we have glasses.

-Cocktails are very popular.

-You can enjoy cocktails outdoors

-as many shops have plastic glasses.

-The Margarita cocktail glass is 2

-from Asda.

-The jug is a great idea.

-There's a jug with tumblers

-inside too.

-You don't want to have

-to carry a lot.

-The jug and tumblers are a wonderful

-way to save space.

-The ice cubes are great too.

-These are plastic and stored

-in the freezer.

-They even light up at night!

-It helps you see your drink

-in the night.

-These are very luxurious.

-I can't believe these are plastic.

-Marks and Spencer

-has a lot of vintage items.

-The vintage hamper is

-from Marks and Spencer and is 59.

-It would make a great gift.

-The hamper has a matching blanket

-that has a waterproof backing.

-Some of the items resemble

-cut glass.

-The floral drinks dispenser

-is 17.50 from Marks and Spencer.

-The drinks dispenser is very useful

-as the glasses sit inside it.

-Everyone can help themselves

-to the contents.

-There's even matching tumblers

-and sundae dishes.

-I really like the colourful

-collection in the front.

-Everything is made from plastic.

-You don't have to worry

-about breaking them.

-You can use them at home too!

-Thank you.

-Wonderful ideas.

-That's it for now.

-After the break, we meet a woman

-from Dinas, Caernarfon...

-..who has given more

-pints of blood than her age.

-Daf Wyn ventures

-on a historical pub crawl...

-..around the pubs of Ceredigion.

-Go and make yourself a cuppa.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-On 14 June...

-..people across the country

-marked World Blood Donor Day.

-Giving blood can saves lives.

-Elin went to hear

-some very personal stories.

-The blood donors lorry that visits

-our villages is a familiar sight.

-Today, it's arrived at the

-Amlwch Leisure Centre on Anglesey.

-But how many people give blood...

-..and do we know how easy it is?

-We're trying to raise awareness

-of the importance of giving blood.

-Three of every 100 possible donors

-give blood so 97 aren't donors.

-Every day, we use about 500 units

-of blood across the whole of Wales.

-There's 19 hospitals in Wales so

-the demand for blood is very high.

-Many fear the process

-but there's nothing to worry about.

-What happens

-when people arrive at the lorries?

-It's easier if you've made

-an appointment beforehand.

-The lorry isn't very big...

-..so it's important

-to have an appointment.

-We register them, check iron levels

-with some blood from a finger...

-..before taking them to the beds...

-..and inserting the needle.

-It can take about six minutes before

-they can sit up, be bandaged up...

-..and enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit.

-People will be nervous

-if they don't like needles or blood.

-Giving blood is easy

-and people come back regularly.

-Olga Williams Thomas from Dinas near

-Caernarfon is a regular donor...

-..and is celebrating 50 years

-of giving blood.

-You've given a lot of blood.

-Yes, I've donated 73 times.

-It was a little idea of mine that

-I wanted to give more than my age.

-I was amazed when I heard about it

-but I know others have given more.

-This is my book...

-..that has my first donation

-from October 1967...

-..so 50 years have passed.

-My husband also gave blood

-when he was in the Welsh Guards.

-He's of a different blood group and

-is rhesus negative which is rare.

-This can help anyone,

-even babies and children.

-I'm O Positive which is very common.

-When is your next appointment?

-My next appointment is in August.

-And that's pint number...

-..74!

-Everyone has their own reason

-for giving blood.

-Olga started in the 1960s but saw

-the value of her donations recently.

-My husband, Gwilym

-is having cancer treatment...

-..and the Alaw Unit

-was a real eye-opener.

-It was a whole ward

-of people receiving blood.

-I realized the importance of giving

-blood and was happy that I did it.

-Don't wait for bad experiences

-but just go and give blood...

-..before a family member

-has an accident or falls ill.

-The blood we collect lasts for

-a month in a freezer at the most.

-We ask that all those who can donate

-to become a donor.

-It's only half an hour and

-you could help or save three lives.

-It's wonderful

-when you think about it like that.

-They were some wonderful stories.

-Well done to Olga!

-Next, we visit Ceredigion...

-..to hear of a special

-and important project...

-..called Pint of History.

-What's in a name and

-where did people meet to socialise?

-These are all questions raised

-in a new database in Ceredigion.

-There's one thing that connects

-all this information...

-..the pub.

-For the last three years,

-the Pint of History project...

-..has recorded Ceredigion's pubs and

-breweries from the past and present.

-Archives and Records Council Wales

-or ARCW...

-..and the National Library...

-..aim to create a digital archive

-of the old 19th century tithe maps.

-There are several projects

-that will use these maps.

-In Ceredigion, we're looking at pubs

-but it's not an excuse for a crawl!

-The project started by looking at

-records of licensed public houses.

-The teams also researched

-newspaper articles and court cases.

-So far, 950 pubs

-have been added to the website.

-It's possible to step back in time

-on the Pint of History website.

-There are around 30 Black Lions

-or the Gogerddan Arms in Ceredigion.

-The majority of North Ceredigion...

-..belonged to the Gogerddan family.

-The family's coat of arms

-featured a black lion.

-The local taverns were named

-"Black Lion" to thank the family.

-This is the Old Black Lion as

-there's another around the corner.

-Anyone can contribute to the project

-just like Yvonne Davies in Lampeter.

-We've received photographs.

-We know who resided in the pubs by

-looking at the 1841 to 1911 census.

-We've also looked at headstones

-and studied photographs.

-Online newspaper articles...

-..have also revealed

-some interesting stories.

-There's a story

-about Thomas Arthur...

-..who ran the Black Lion

-in the 1840s.

-He sent a Christmas gift

-to John Scandrett Harford.

-Harford was from Falcondale

-but he resided in Bristol.

-Arthur had a turnip that measured

-one metre in circumference.

-They removed the centre,

-like you would do with a pumpkin...

-..and packed a variety

-of dead animals...

-..including a hare, snipe

-and golden plover.

-If they had been more careful,

-they could've fit even more inside!

-These little stories make

-the research much more interesting.

-There's no telling what kind

-of stories will come to light.

-Ceredigion businesses and pubs are

-also benefiting from the project.

-The project based on pubs

-is a fantastic idea.

-For us, it develops our knowledge

-and understanding of the building.

-We can transfer this new information

-to the locals and visitors alike.

-It will give them a greater

-understanding of the local area.

-It's very interesting...

-..when reading about all these

-public houses.

-Over the weekend, I found three

-former pubs in Aberystwyth alone.

-It's very interesting.

-It's like researching

-a family tree...

-..as you keep finding

-new information.

-I've done lots of work...

-..but I keep discovering even more.

-You must enjoy the work?

-Yes, I thoroughly enjoy it.

-That was interesting.

-It's time for a break.

-In the final part...

-..there's budgeting advice from

-Gwion Dafydd of the company, Cardi.

-And we meet the young boy....

-..who charmed us all

-at the recent Urdd Eisteddfod.

-I'll see you in a couple of minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Do you remember Finley Burrows?

-Finley was one of the stars

-at the Urdd Eisteddfod this year.

-He's a pupil at

-Ysgol Gymraeg Gwaun y Nant, Barry...

-..and is the first school soloist

-to reach the Eisteddfod stage.

-He stole our hearts at the studio

-and we had to congratulate him.

-# I'd like to go on holiday

-# In the Caribbean #

-Congratulations to you, Finley in

-the Eisteddfod's solo competition.

-How long have you been singing?

-Since I was three.

-Why do you enjoy singing?

-It makes me feel happy.

-You went through

-the preliminary rounds...

-..but did you expect to reach

-the National Eisteddfod?

-No, because I didn't think

-I was good enough to get there.

-How did you react when you heard

-that you'd be at the Eisteddfod?

-I just thought, "wow!"

-# The weather will be lovely

-# In the Caribbean #

-It's the first time for Finley

-to compete in the solo.

-He wanted to do it last year so

-I asked about it and agreed to try.

-He was shocked...

-..but we were proud

-when he won the preliminaries.

-He sang the same thing

-for the county Eisteddfod.

-He enjoys singing and that

-came through in his performance.

-He won at county level and

-the national was just incredible.

-# Searching, diving,

-swimming and splashing

-# Singing calypso in the Caribbean #

-We went on the bus

-to reach the Eisteddfod...

-..before having a practice

-with the piano...

-..and another practice.

-We had to wait for two hours

-before going somewhere else...

-..so I did it and won!

-How did you feel

-when you were singing on that stage?

-Nervous.

-Who was watching you

-in the audience?

-Mam, Dad, my brother, Mrs Delve,

-Mrs Tomos and Mrs Erskine.

-You're a good singer so did

-you help Finley to rehearse, Logan?

-Yes, at home we'd go over the song

-to make sure he knew the words.

-What was it like to watch him

-at the Eisteddfod?

-I was very proud of him.

-When he was on stage, I didn't

-really know what to think...

-..other than "wow!"

-What happened when they announced

-that Finley had won?

-Me and Miss Delve were backstage

-and watching the television...

-..and we said "wow!"

-We were jumping around

-and everything.

-What did you do

-when Finley came off the stage?

-I gave him a big hug

-and told him well done.

-How did you react

-when they announced your name?

-I'm not sure but I just felt happy.

-Were you surprised?

-Were you surprised?

-

-Yes.

-What was the other surprise

-that you had?

-I'm going to Disneyland to sing.

-What do you think about that?

-What do you think about that?

-

-It's good.

-# Clean and fine are the beaches #

-We're proud for him and the school.

-We compete in the Eisteddfod every

-year and have a school Eisteddfod.

-Finley went through from local

-to county...

-..and to the national and won.

-It's great for the school,

-for Finley and his family.

-Everyone at Ysgol Gwaun y Nant

-is proud of Finley and he's a star!

-Next, Gwion Dafydd of the Cardi

-company has advice on saving.

-Booking a holiday can be expensive,

-especially when you have a family.

-Gwion Dafydd has tips on making the

-process easier and a lot cheaper!

-Welcome to the programme.

-Welcome to the programme.

-

-Thank you.

-You can save pounds

-before leaving the house!

-This will save you the most.

-Choose where you want to go and

-search websites such as Expedia.

-A flight, hotel and transport

-package is a cheaper option.

-You can cut costs by searching

-for a package like this.

-Do you get the best deal

-if you book early?

-Last year, this was true.

-They sometimes tell you to wait

-for the last-minute deals.

-These days, it doesn't work,

-but every year is different.

-People tend to see

-how the Euro fairs.

-If people hold back, last-minute

-deals could be cheaper.

-It also depends on how adventurous

-you'll be.

-It can help to be

-flexible with your dates.

-I'm married to a teacher

-so this isn't easy.

-I don't have the ability

-to be flexible.

-If you can go next week,

-that's good...

-..but you will need

-permission from work.

-Next, we're looking

-at travelling costs.

-What about the costs of travelling

-to the hotel?

-Once you arrive at the airport

-on the other side...

-..arrange a shuttle bus.

-You don't always

-have to book a return.

-Speak to the staff at the hotel

-about your transport options.

-If you go to the big traditional

-countries, it should be safe.

-It's easier if it's a city break.

-You have a smaller case

-and won't need to carry as much.

-Flying on a Sunday and Monday

-can also be cheaper.

-Planes to different countries

-can be cheaper on certain days.

-Make sure you look

-at different options.

-Use the Quidco website

-for cashback deals on travel.

-I've mentioned Quidco before.

-You can use Quidco

-to get to Expedia.

-You can also get to it via

-the Gwion Cardi page on Facebook.

-Click on the link

-and you'll get an extra 5.

-Quidco is exactly like TopCashback.

-When and where should we get

-our foreign currency?

-The elections are proving

-to be a problem.

-Last year, we had Brexit...

-..and the pound has fallen again

-due to the Election.

-The Clarity credit card

-from Halifax has a great deal.

-MasterCard is accepted everywhere.

-You'll get the best

-possible exchange rates.

-Owain has also told us

-about the Monzo prepay card.

-You can use the app to transfer

-more money to the card.

-Monzo is a new online

-and app-based bank.

-Can you explain that to me again?

-You get the card and transfer money

-from your bank account.

-When you use the card at a cashpoint

-abroad, you get the best rate.

-It prevents you from using

-your debit card abroad.

-I tend to spend too much

-and have to use a second card.

-What about health care?

-The EHIC card is the new E111 form.

-This card covers you for ten years.

-The EHIC card costs nothing.

-If you Google it...

-..some websites

-will try to charge you.

-Only apply for a EHIC

-via the NHS website.

-The EHIC covers medical treatment

-in Europe.

-It's important to carry

-one of these with you.

-If something worse happens...

-..you'll need travel insurance.

-Don't forget about travel insurance.

-You need travel insurance

-as well as an EHIC card.

-Arrange travel insurance

-as soon as you book a holiday.

-If you arrange it the same time

-as you book the holiday...

-..it covers you in the months

-leading up to the holiday.

-You can have travel insurance

-that lasts for a year.

-It might be more expensive, but it

-covers you for multiple holidays.

-Yes, and it will also cover you...

-..for a trip to the Eisteddfod.

-You've also got some useful apps.

-If you don't have this on

-your phone, download it now.

-Download the Trip Advisor app for

-details on hotels and restaurant.

-They also have a website

-and I'm constantly using it.

-I've never eaten in a bad restaurant

-thanks to the reviews on this app.

-There's good news

-for mobile phone users.

-I put this next tip

-online yesterday.

-Turn off your data roaming

-on the phone when abroad.

-Most hotels have free wi-fi and

-you can use WhatsApp to phone home.

-The costs are the same abroad and

-this country so check beforehand.

-They might come out

-of your inclusive minutes.

-There are many things to do.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks to Gwion

-for those handy tips.

-That's all we have time for today.

-The hour has flown by.

-We return the same time next week.

-Make sure you practice your Welsh

-and have plenty fun.

-Good morning.
