-Hello and welcome to Bore Da.

-I can't believe

-we're halfway through July.

-Time is certainly flying by.

-I'd better start this programme

-before the next hour flies too.

-On today's programme...

-..we meet the family and friends

-of Amber Davies from Love Island.

-I'll join the boys

-from Only Boys Aloud.

-We also sample the

-Seafood Festival in Aberaeron.

-We learn how weather bulletins

-reach our screens.

-And Elin Fflur closes the programme

-with her latest song.

-There's all this and more,

-so sit back and enjoy.

-We start this morning

-in North-East Wales.

-Denbigh is the home of Amber Davies

-who stars in the series Love Island.

-Amber attended the same school as me

-- Ysgol Glan Clwyd in St Asaph.

-And my claim to fame is that

-she retweeted my report...

-..about the school

-celebrating 60 years.

-Elin Fflur is a massive

-Love Island fan...

-..and last week she chatted

-to Amber's family and friends.

-Amber Davies of Denbigh is one of

-Love Island's popular characters.

-The aim of the series is

-for couples to fall in love.

-And Amber has found her perfect

-partner in the Essex hunk, Kem.

-My operation to ask Amber

-to be my girlfriend is in place.

-Amber is no stranger to us in Wales.

-The talented lass has competed in

-the Eisteddfod from a tender age.

-I discovered more from

-her former singing coach.

-I'm glued to Love Island at 9.00pm.

-I'm engrossed as Amber Davies

-from Denbigh is in it.

-I taught her to sing

-from a young age.

-Amber was also a member of Enfys

-and performed across North Wales.

-We've sung on Noson Lawen

-and on Heno many moons ago.

-# Without me #

-Someone who knows her better

-than anyone else is her mother.

-The past month has been

-an exciting one for the family.

-I'm proud that she's on TV.

-We've had to be quite liberal

-about the things we see on TV.

-Some parts have upset us

-and made us feel uncomfortable.

-But it's what she wanted to do

-and we're proud she's on the show.

-The power was in our hands.

-Honestly, it felt so good.

-She's a talented young lady and we

-don't hear of this on Love Island.

-She's won at the National

-and Urdd Eisteddfod.

-It's given her opportunities and

-speaking Welsh has been an asset.

-I coached her from the age of seven

-and she recorded this song at ten.

-School children in Denbighshire,

-Conwy and Flint were asked to sing.

-Amber chose to perform this song.

-# Did you see my little dog

-# A white dog with a little tail? #

-Fantastic.

-She's flourished

-into a wonderful singer.

-Before she left to study in London

-she wrote this lovely card...

-..thanking me for teaching her

-and helping her to get so far.

-I really appreciate and treasure it.

-What would Love Island viewers

-think of her singing like that?

-She sounds very innocent there!

-The vocal group, Enfys performed

-at many concerts across North Wales.

-What do the other girls think about

-seeing their friend on Love Island?

-Amber's appearance on Love Island

-will be a great platform for her.

-Who knows what the future holds for

-her and we wish her the very best.

-It's interesting to see

-how many people watch it...

-..such as Leah, Mam, my sister,

-and it's like family viewing time.

-It's a lot of fun

-and we fully support her.

-As her mum, I've got to ask you,

-do you like Kem?

-Kem grew on me initially.

-Having separated and argued,

-they've grown to love each other.

-Will you be my girlfriend?

-Will you be my girlfriend?

-

-Yes, I will.

-I really like Kem.

-I really like Kem.

-

-He's a fine lad.

-He's a funny person

-and comes across very nice.

-They've got a connection.

-I love you so much.

-I love you so much.

-

-I love you too.

-I hope she's happy with Kem.

-If she visits Anglesey Eisteddfod,

-she can find love with a Welshman.

-She can settle down

-and he'll champion her singing.

-That's what she needs to do.

-Sorry, can we leave that out?!

-We wish Amber all the best.

-Only Boys Aloud

-are a famous choir in Wales.

-The choir attend

-a special summer academy.

-I was invited to join them.

-# Mubarakan

-# Mubarakan

-# Mubarakan #

-The boys from Only Boys Aloud

-are here at St Donats...

-..on their academy course.

-The Only Boys Aloud academy course

-isn't your usual course...

-..as they're here to work very hard.

-# So-na, so-na, so-na #

-The aim of the

-Only Boys Aloud Academy...

-..is to develop the skills

-of the lads aged 16 to 19.

-They have to audition

-to become a member.

-The aim of the course

-is to hone musical...

-..acting, dancing

-and movement skills.

-We start working at 9.00am...

-..and every night

-we finish at around 10.00pm.

-It's hard work...

-..but this is what you have to do

-in the performing and musical world.

-If you're like me

-and not musical at all...

-..you must be wondering why do

-they need all these activities.

-Hey, I don't have a clue,

-but I'm going to find out.

-# Ramana, ramana, ramana #

-It's a great way

-to meet people I didn't know.

-We seem to be singing better

-together because of that bond...

-..that is nurtured

-in the teamwork workshops.

-It gives you the chance to mix

-with people from other places.

-It provides different experiences

-and you make some life-long friends.

-There's an element of

-encouraging people...

-..to be leaders and followers.

-It feels like hard work

-but it's worthwhile.

-It's important to show the boys

-how to lead a healthy lifestyle.

-It's presents with challenges

-which pushes them to try new things.

-The freshers are shy at the start.

-But these activities encourage them

-to open up...

-..and it helps them

-get through the week.

-We're having a digital detox because

-the mobile phone signal is terrible.

-The Wi-Fi signal is weak too so the

-boys aren't always on their phones.

-They play football too.

-They do a lot of outdoor pursuits.

-Something big is happening tomorrow.

-Yes, it's classified information but

-we have a tough bootcamp tomorrow.

-Myself, and the other leaders

-will wake the lads with pots...

-..at 6.30am.

-We'll bring them outside in their

-pyjamas to do some tough events...

-..before pushing them

-into a very cold pool!

-You're going to enjoy that.

-Yes, because I've done four years

-of being on the other side...

-..so it'll be fun

-to tell them what to do.

-# So-na

-# So-na, so-na #

-It's lovely to see

-the difference in the boys...

-..and they way they develop...

-..and work like a team.

-And the fact that

-the standard improves every year.

-Good luck to the choir.

-And thanks to Tim and the boys

-for the warm welcome.

-Our next stop is Exeter.

-We head behind the scenes...

-..of the world-famous headquarters,

-The Met Office.

-Let's enjoy a tour

-by Steff the weatherman.

-Since December, S4C has received its

-weather data from the Met Office...

-..but what happens behind the scenes

-to the get the weather to your home?

-Come with me

-to see what happens here.

-Hiya, Madlen.

-Hiya, Madlen.

-

-Welcome to the Met Office.

-You've chosen a great day

-as there's a lot happening.

-Let's take a look.

-Having been established in 1854 by

-Robert FitzRoy to serve mariners...

-..the Meteorological Office now

-collects weather and climate data.

-But our journey commences outside.

-Before predicting the future,

-we have to understand the present.

-We carry out a lot

-of global observations.

-We measure rainfall,

-wind speed and temperature.

-Satellites capture footage...

-..and a super computer

-produces the forecast.

-Let's take a look

-at this super computer.

-It's enormous.

-It's enormous.

-

-It's fantastic.

-It's similar to 140,000 computers

-in a room which is a lot of data.

-There's more data here

-than grains of sand in the world.

-It's also the largest computer

-in Europe.

-S4C's partnership with

-the Met Office stems back years.

-I presented

-the weather over 20 years ago.

-Everything was simple

-with two or three maps.

-People only wanted to know

-if it was dry, wet or windy.

-I'm glad I don't present it now

-as I wouldn't understand it.

-It's more detailed with jet-steams

-and high and low pressure charts.

-Everything is different,

-but very accurate.

-What happens here at the

-media briefing service room?

-There's a team who work

-24 hours a day for 365 days a year.

-We work two twelve-hour shifts

-compiling the latest forecast.

-It's difficult to forecast

-the Welsh weather.

-The weather is challenging due to

-the impact of the coast and terrain.

-The weather always changes

-which is rather interesting.

-A lot happens in such a small area.

-A new graphic system can simplify

-the most detailed reports for us.

-Visual Cortex is a brand-new package

-and S4C is one of its first users.

-It enables you to monitor typhoons

-in the Pacific...

-..the heat in the Middle East,

-or the interesting weather in Wales.

-Following an analysis,

-a bulletin is compiled...

-..we monitor any changes and keep

-in touch with the team in Exeter.

-And that's how a weather forecast

-reaches your screen.

-Thanks, Steff, that was interesting.

-You can see part two

-before the end of the programme.

-That's it for now

-but in the second part...

-..we sample the

-Seafood Festival in Aberaeron.

-We hear of the latest campaign

-by Save The Children.

-And Emma shows us how to keep

-your make-up bag clean and tidy.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Welcome back.

-Next, we visit Aberaeron

-in Ceredigion...

-..to sample

-the town's seafood festival.

-The festival celebrates 20 years

-and it's still as popular as ever.

-We're here in Aberaeron

-for the 20th year.

-There's plenty of seafood

-and something for everyone.

-We have art, cakes and gin,

-so what more do you need?

-We're a small team of organisers

-who work for the entire year.

-On the day,

-we have a big band of volunteers.

-We couldn't run the festival

-without our volunteers.

-We pull together to help the chefs

-and assist with the road closures.

-We all enjoy ourselves.

-It's a great place

-to be in Aberaeron.

-Three, two, one - happy birthday!

-I had the important role of cutting

-the ribbon to open the festival.

-It's set to be a great day.

-I'm being interviewed later

-and I hope to sample some food.

-The festival is in its 20th year

-and I've been coming for 13 years.

-It's great to see so many people

-attending and enjoying seafood.

-The chefs do an incredible job...

-..in inspiring us with their

-exciting ingredients and techniques.

-We have the best stall as we're

-selling oysters and prosecco.

-We're serving oysters with lemon

-and the best Tabasco you'll find.

-I'm making fish burgers.

-It's an opportunity to socialise

-with the chefs and get new ideas.

-I'm making a dish

-which includes shallots.

-I enjoy helping my mother

-on the stall.

-BryBeQue Sauce has come here to the

-Seafood Festival here in Aberaeron.

-We started producing the sauce

-before Christmas...

-..so we're new to all

-these food festivals.

-There's a good crowd

-and more than I'd expected.

-It's crammed but we're happy to have

-plenty of room to dance inside here!

-I remember coming to the first

-festival as the warm-up act.

-I worked on Winston's fishing boat

-in New Quay back then.

-A group of fishermen came together

-to suss the waters out.

-The festival has grown in popularity

-and importance over the years.

-It's fantastic that it encourages

-people to buy local seafood.

-It's great for Aberaeron,

-Ceredigion and the whole of Wales.

-Save The Children

-carries out important work...

-..in the world's poorest communities

-including here in Wales.

-The charity holds annual events

-to raise money.

-This year, they're looking

-for items from the public...

-..to sell in an auction

-at the National Eisteddfod.

-Some of Wales' celebrities

-have contributed to the cause.

-We bid farewell to the lorry

-that transported the goods...

-..from Barry to Bodedern.

-We're here

-to set a large lorry on its way...

-..from Barry to Bodedern

-and the National Eisteddfod.

-It's being loaded with bags

-from our supporters in South Wales.

-A Barry businessman donated a lorry

-to carry the garments to Anglesey.

-The load will be sold

-on the Eisteddfod Maes next month.

-On Wednesday, there will

-be another special auction.

-The public has donated bags...

-..but we also contacted celebrities

-from Wales for their donations.

-We had an incredible response.

-Jenny Ogwen, the glamorous

-former weather girl...

-..was happy to help.

-I'm going to donate this bag.

-I used it for Royal Ascot...

-..and the 2017 Women in Wales

-Luncheon at the Swalec Stadium...

-..where we raised 30,000

-for the charity.

-It's an incredible amount

-to raise in one afternoon.

-The auction will have lots....

-..that were loved

-and worn by Welsh celebrities.

-It's a wonderful idea.

-You could buy

-Katherine Jenkins' bag...

-..or a necklace

-owned by Sian Phillips.

-Bryn Terfel has donated a tie...

-..and there's items from Dafydd

-Iwan, Jonathan Pryce and many more.

-There's presenters

-from the BBC and Radio Cymru...

-..stars of Pobol y Cwm

-and Rownd a Rownd...

-..and the presenters of Heno

-and Prynhawn Da.

-I delivered the team's donations.

-Ties, a dress, a scarf, a hat Mam-gu

-had knitted for me and a tent!

-All the money from this bag

-goes to Save The Children...

-..and that's the most

-important thing for me!

-It's an honour to set the lorry

-on its way from Barry to Bodedern.

-Good luck with the campaign

-at the Eisteddfod.

-We hope to raise a lot for of Save

-The Children in Wales and abroad.

-Well done everyone.

-It's a very special cause.

-Next, Emma Jenkins shares advice

-on how to keep your make-up clean.

-Enjoy.

-I must admit, I've never cleaned

-inside my make-up bag.

-This is my bag.

-People must be stunned

-by the size of it!

-It's quite big

-but it contains everything I need.

-I'm ashamed to say

-that I've never cleaned it.

-It's terrible, isn't it?!

-The interior is black

-so you can't see much.

-You throw brushes into it

-and it harbours germs.

-I've suffered from acne

-and things like this won't help it.

-So, it's important

-to keep the bag clean.

-You can buy brush cleaners,

-but branded ones are expensive.

-Search for them on Amazon or eBay

-as they're cheaper online.

-Alternatively,

-you can use baby shampoo.

-You can put it

-in the washing machine.

-The make-up bag is machine washable.

-Plastic ones simply need a wipe.

-Don't wash brushes in the machine

-but use some baby shampoo.

-You want the brushes to last.

-You want them to be soft

-to create the right effect.

-Pour some olive oil in a pot.

-Add it into a mixture of water

-and baby shampoo.

-Mix it with a drop of olive oil.

-Dip the brush into the mixture

-and rub it in.

-Oh, right, I see.

-The dirt is coming out

-and I'm making a mess.

-It helps the bristles

-to become soft again.

-The olive oil softens it.

-Yes, then dry it flat...

-..so it doesn't dry into a glue.

-And this is what happens.

-If you don't dry it properly

-and use a rough cloth...

-..the bristles loosen and fall out.

-Can you see them coming out?

-You have to look after them

-as they're quality brushes.

-They won't last

-if you don't look after them.

-Powdered products

-last for a long time.

-But if you don't look after them

-they will dry out.

-The surface toughens

-and you can't use it.

-Scratch the surface

-with a cotton bud.

-It forms a new surface.

-It's clean again

-and the powder is usable.

-Place lipsticks in the freezer

-to kill bacteria...

-..or use antiseptic wipes.

-Wipe the tops of glosses

-as gunk can build up.

-Soak fake eyelashes

-in micellar make-up water overnight.

-The water is a make-up remover.

-Soak them overnight

-then place them on a cotton pad...

-..clean with a cotton bud

-and you can use them again.

-I'm nodding

-but I won't do any of this!

-You're taking mental notes!

-Someone may ask you about it

-and you'll know what to say.

-They were handy tips from Emma.

-In the next part of the programme...

-..we visit the champion gardener,

-Medwyn Williams and his son, Alwyn.

-And we discover what's on the menu

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-Go and make a quick cuppa

-and I'll see you in two minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-Our next stop is Anglesey...

-..at the garden of champion gardener

-Medwyn Williams and his son, Alwyn.

-An open day was held there

-by Menter Mon...

-..and Gerallt has the story.

-We've all heard of

-Anglesey's fertile land.

-It's beckoning growers

-to grow commercial crops.

-This was the topic of discussion

-at Medwyn's garden this morning.

-To coincides with it,

-Medwyn and Alwyn have published...

-..Ten Top Vegetable Crops

-for Anglesey Growers.

-One of the crops is fennel

-but what's so special about it?

-I think it's a plant

-that's growing in popularity.

-It's also resourceful in three ways.

-Chefs prefer to cook it when

-the fennel is narrow and tender.

-You can grate it into a salad

-or boil it when it has ripened.

-And once it's gone to seed

-it becomes the Spice of Angels.

-It tastes of aniseed

-but has an extra something.

-This single plant provides

-three types of crops.

-Yes, three crops.

-You'll get your money's worth

-from it.

-That's the message today.

-That's the message today.

-

-Yes, it's a money-maker.

-Anglesey boasts specialists

-like Alwyn and Medwyn...

-..restaurants that to want to use

-local produce and keen growers.

-The aim for today is

-to bring them all together.

-You and your father

-are experienced growers.

-The aim is to get gardeners

-and chefs on the same page.

-There's a problem with supermarkets.

-They sell out of season vegetables

-all year round.

-It's important to educate chefs

-about Anglesey's seasonal crops.

-Nothing beats the taste of

-a freshly picked vegetable.

-The next stage for these

-vegetables is the kitchen.

-And there are some

-professional chefs here today.

-What Medwyn and Alwyn are doing here

-is fantastic and Anglesey needs it.

-Local people coming together to grow

-vegetables satisfies the industry.

-It's a very important day for us.

-We're able to meet more fruit

-and vegetable growers from Anglesey.

-We already purchase

-Medwyn's vegetables...

-..but require

-berry and fruit growers.

-Every time I meet a visitor,

-I learn something from them.

-Hopefully,

-I'm able to return the favour.

-It's been a great day.

-Wow! What a fantastic garden.

-Thank you, Medwyn and Alwyn.

-It's time for some food.

-Let's see what's on the menu

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-I want to show you a sweet

-and a savoury recipe for them.

-We'll start with a savoury salad

-using the blueberries.

-They can be eaten in a pudding,

-for breakfast and in a salad.

-I wouldn't associate blueberries

-with a savoury dish.

-No, but it's easy to prepare

-and you create different elements.

-Take whole almonds from a pack

-and throw them in a baking tray.

-Add a drizzle of honey.

-Is there anything in that tray?

-Is there anything in that tray?

-

-No, it's a dry tray.

-Drizzle these with honey

-and roast them in the oven.

-Our director is just saying "Mmm!"

-Season this with some black pepper

-and some salt.

-Is that similar

-to a sweet and sour dish?

-Yes, that's right.

-It gives a different flavour

-to the nuts.

-Nuts can be dry so you can

-incorporate different flavours.

-Next, I've got some

-tenderstem broccoli.

-It's very thin, tender and much

-younger than the large florets.

-It's tender and fresh to eat.

-We'll start building the salad

-by making the dressing.

-It's made from balsamic vinegar.

-Pour some into the bowl.

-I like a dressing on a salad.

-Yes, it can make

-a world of difference.

-We need a touch of honey.

-It transforms a boring lettuce.

-You also want some lemon.

-Blueberries and lemon

-is a classic combination.

-You need the juice of a whole lemon.

-Squeeze it all in.

-We've got a bit of everything with

-the sour, savoury and the sweet.

-People associate salads with

-lettuce, cucumber and tomato...

-..but there's a lot you can do

-to make them more interesting.

-Start whisking slowly

-and pour in some olive oil.

-Why don't you add it all

-at the same time?

-It will split if you add it all

-at the same time.

-Pour it in slowly whilst whisking...

-..or you can use

-your food processor.

-Another option is to put it in a jar

-and give it a good shake!

-I prefer this method to check

-the composition of the dressing.

-It will thicken

-to the consistency of paint.

-Whisk the oil in slowly.

-How long will it stay fresh

-if it's stored in a fridge?

-You can keep it for months

-if it's stored in the fridge.

-Give it a shake when you want it.

-Let's turn to the salad and I've

-got watercress and beetroot leaves.

-Opt for things

-that are interesting to eat.

-There isn't any lettuce in sight!

-There's one leaf for you.

-Dan makes it look lovely

-whereas I'd just throw it in!

-Let's turn to the broccoli.

-It's cooked in boiling water and

-a touch of salt for a minute...

-..before plunging it in ice water.

-Can you use the typical broccoli

-or replace it with asparagus?

-I'd opt for asparagus

-as opposed to typical broccoli.

-Typical broccoli is thicker.

-Choose the tender, young sprigs

-that have a fresh flavour.

-Mix the leaves around.

-These nuts have been left to cool.

-They do harden a little in the salt.

-Scoop them out of the tray

-with a spoon.

-They have hardened

-so might be difficult to get out.

-You get a crunchy texture

-from the nuts.

-You can see that they have a sheen.

-They have hardened so aren't sticky

-and you bite through the sugar.

-Can you use cashews

-or any other nut?

-Yes, you can use cashews

-or pine nuts...

-..but don't use honey

-with the pine nuts.

-They are very oily so will burn.

-But cashews are a great alternative.

-Adding some red onion will give you

-another different element...

-..but chop it very finely.

-I don't think I could chop them

-that finely.

-Not without losing a finger!

-There's a few nails in there too.

-Be very careful.

-They add texture.

-Scatter the red onion over the top.

-And we're ready for our blueberries.

-There's no preparation involved.

-Throw in fresh ones that release the

-flavours when you're eating them.

-Next, we have the dressing.

-It goes on the top.

-OK.

-Oh, that looks lovely

-and it's healthy too.

-There isn't

-an unhealthy element in it.

-Blueberries are a superfood.

-And we finish this

-with some fresh lemon.

-There's protein in the nuts.

-You can squeeze some fresh lemon

-over the top of it at the end.

-Adding the lemon too early

-causes the salad to wilt.

-Do it at the last minute.

-Do it at the last minute.

-

-Yes, exactly.

-And that's a fresh salad

-for you to eat.

-Oh, that's fantastic.

-Can we have the plate to try some?

-Can we have the plate to try some?

-

-No problem.

-Is there more to come?

-No, I just wanted to get these

-out of the oven before they burn!

-These are almost ready.

-Give them a shake to coat them in

-the honey and allow them to cool.

-They only need a few minutes

-to harden.

-Is that nice?

-Yes, but I've only had a blueberry!

-That looks very tasty.

-Thanks, Dan.

-In the final part

-of the programme...

-..we hear about Gwyl Nol a Mla'n

-festival from some local children.

-And we enjoy a brand-new song

-from Elin Fflur.

-Join me in two minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-In part one...

-..we went behind the scenes

-of the Met Office in Exeter.

-Our series continues now.

-Let's revisit to the centre

-to learn more about its great work.

-Over 2,000 people

-work at the Met Office...

-..but television

-is on a small part of it.

-I obviously share an interest

-in the broadcasting aspect...

-..but I know a man who knows

-exactly what else happens here.

-Arwel Griffiths

-is originally from Carmarthen.

-He's worked for the Met Office

-for seven years.

-Television broadcasts play

-an important part in our work.

-We advise all industries

-such as aviation industry.

-Air travel depends on the

-accuracy of our forecasts.

-We have a specialised forecast

-for leaves falling on railways.

-Our cold front data is combined...

-..with our specialised data

-on falling leaves from trees.

-This allows us to predict

-when the leaves will fall.

-The retail industry

-is also very sensitive.

-It's important that they know

-what the weather will be like...

-..to decide on

-what fills the shop shelves.

-There's also a library of books

-and historical weather charts.

-This weather chart dates back...

-..to one of Wales'

-biggest coastal disasters.

-It's a chart of the

-Royal Charter Storm.

-It was recorded by the Met Office

-back in 26 October 1859.

-It illustrates the hurricane

-that happened that night...

-..and claimed over 450 lives

-off the coast of Anglesey.

-These observations

-were sent via telegraph.

-And it generated

-the first national forecast...

-..and the shipping forecast.

-There's another important chart...

-..that influenced

-the course of the war.

-This is the most important chart

-in the history of the Met Office.

-It illustrates the rough weather

-on 5 June 1944.

-That was the original date

-for the D-Day Landings.

-A piece of history

-sits before our eyes.

-Another important department

-is the Hadley Centre.

-The Hadley Centre Met Office plays a

-prominent role in climate research..

-..and future climate changes.

-Scientists are 97% certain that

-mankind is causing global warming.

-It's important that

-we research the consequences.

-It's great to have scientists from

-various countries working together.

-Branches of the Met Office

-also reach further than Exeter.

-There are staff in Kenya and Rwanda.

-We support global science

-with Antarctic research.

-We also perform important work

-with RAF Valley.

-There's a team of meteorologists

-who assist the staff at RAF Valley.

-The weather has a daily impact on us

-in ways you wouldn't even consider.

-This place is amazing, exciting and

-is brimming with fresh developments.

-I hope you've enjoyed the tour of

-the Met Office as much as I have.

-Last weekend, Llangrannog hosted

-the Gwyl Nol a Mla'n festival.

-The festival means a lot

-to the community.

-This year, three local schools

-joined forces to form a choir...

-..and sing the festival anthem.

-Here's the final rehearsal

-before the big performance.

-# I'm big and that's a fact

-# My feet spread across

-the mountain and beach #

-Can Bica's Song was the result of

-a partnership with Gwyl Nol a Mla'n.

-Theatr Felinfach worked alongside

-them on some street performances.

-This year, we worked

-on a project with schools.

-The committee wanted something

-that was relevant to local culture.

-They chose the legend of Bica.

-The pupils have been busy

-rehearsing for about a month.

-Once the Urdd Eisteddfod was over

-they immersed themselves into it.

-My favourite thing about the song

-is singing with other schools.

-I sing about our language and land

-as it's important to us in the area.

-# I've eaten ships and a few kayaks

-# I'm turning to stone

-and I've got wobbly teeth

-# I like eating stones

-with sea water and toast

-# I've eating too much

-and I've got toothache #

-It was quite a challenge to adapt a

-famous legend into a school anthem.

-I enjoyed composing unusual rhymes

-that told the story...

-..but are also fun to sing.

-I can't wait to perform

-and I'm looking forward to it.

-My favourite part refers to ships...

-..as the rest is quite high.

-The festival has always played

-an integral role in the community.

-The three schools have been excited

-about performing or coming to watch.

-I'm looking forward

-to eating ice cream.

-I like playing

-with my friends...

-..and can't wait to play with them

-on the beach here, at Llangrannog.

-I look forward

-to singing with my friends...

-..and playing on the beach.

-I enjoy singing

-and dancing near the sea.

-The three schools have been superb.

-I think they're ready to perform at

-Gwyl Nol a Mla'n Festival tomorrow.

-# I've got strength #

-Well done everyone.

-I was fortunate to be there

-on the Friday evening...

-..and it was a fantastic weekend.

-One of the highlights

-was Elin Fflur...

-..performing her brand-new song,

-Hiraeth Sy'n Gwmni i Mi.

-Enjoy.

-# Every morning I wake

-# With a heavy heart

-# The photograph

-remains at my bedside

-# And reminds me

-of the disappointment

-# Over a coffee, we try

-# To put the pieces back in place

-# But it's obvious to me

-# That the wind remains the same

-# Coming home at the end of the day

-# The house is empty and cold

-# I gaze at the walls

-# Under the bleak moonlight

-# I've tried to apologize

-# This home is cold

-and the flame has completely burnt

-# Since you left,

-tears flow down my cheek

-# Creating rivers, creating floods

-and drowning my world

-# Since you left,

-tears flow down my cheek

-# Longing is my only company

-# Longing is my only company

-# This world is tired

-# Of listening to me

-# Complaining and regretting

-# For creating all the dark days

-# I've tried to explain

-# I was not in my right mind

-# Is there room in your heart

-# To gratify the lies

-# Since you left,

-tears flow down my cheek

-# Creating rivers, creating floods

-and drowning my world

-# Since you left,

-tears flow down my cheek

-# Longing is my only company

-# Longing is my only company

-# I've tried to apologize

-# He isn't important

-# Oh-oh

-# Yeah

-# Since you left,

-tears flow down my cheek

-# Creating rivers, creating floods

-and drowning my world

-# Since you left,

-tears flow down my cheek

-# Longing is my only company

-# Longing is my only company #

-Thanks, Elin.

-And that's it from me today.

-The hour has flown by

-and thanks for your company.

-I'll be back here next week.

-But until then,

-keep practicing your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-and have fun whilst doing it.

-A very good morning to you all.
