0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Elin Fflur takes us on a tour - of Plas Glynllifon.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Mackerel is on the menu - of the Prynhawn Da kitchen.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Sit back and relax.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Welcome to Bore Da.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- We start at the Hen Lyfrgell - in Cardiff.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Recently, some of Wales' main - publishers got together...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- ..for an exciting new venture...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- ..to create a series of books - for learners.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- I went to find out more.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43- This is a training day for creating - leisure books for Welsh learners.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- We're also launching a project - that has been supported...
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- ..by the Welsh Books Council and - National Centre for Learning Welsh.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- We're creating a pack of - 20 Welsh books for learners...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- ..to add to the current selection.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- As a company, - we'll break new ground...
0:02:06 > 0:02:12- ..as traditionally, we publish books - for children and young people.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- It's great to be a part - of this project...
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- ..to publish books for learners - and in particular for adults.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- As an editor on the project, - I'm very excited.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I also believe that Welsh learners - will be excited.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- All 20 books will be new.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41- The books will be easy to read - and entertaining.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- It will be a pleasure to read them.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- This is an extremely - important project.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- I learnt Welsh through podcasts...
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- ..but haven't really learnt - how to read.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- If I'm going to start learning - to read in Welsh...
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- ..it's important that we feel - comfortable with the books.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- There isn't much choice when it - comes to books for learners.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- The last book I wrote was about - learners, but not for learners.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- This time, - I'm writing for Welsh learners.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- I'm trying to write the book - as one that I'd like to read.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- As an editor at Lolfa...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- ..we've published books aimed - at learners for many years.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- There have been language books - that teach grammar and words...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- ..rather than leisure books.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42- It's new for us to publish - leisure books for learners...
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- ..and work alongside another - three publishing companies.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Four publishers will be involved.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- I think the biggest challenge - will be to create books...
0:03:54 > 0:04:00- ..in genres - that will appeal to learners.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06- A Welsh learner will like a variety - of different subjects...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- ..and genres...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- ..and it will be difficult - to please everyone.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- I hope we'll be able to please some.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Good luck to the venture.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- I look forward to hearing more - about it in the future.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- If you've visited St Fagans National - Museum of History recently...
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- ..you will have seen - the new entrance.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Following months of hard work and a - lot of funding, it's worth seeing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- After three years and as part - of a project worth 30 million...
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- ..the Main Entrance Building - in St Fagans...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- ..has opened to the public.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- It's safe to say that the visitors - are quite shocked.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Those who remember - the former building are stunned.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- One gentleman wanted - to dance around the building.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31- He couldn't believe the - transformation from three years ago.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- The Main Building - was listed by Cadw.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42- It's apt that St Fagans has taken - the shell of the building...
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- ..and given it a new lease of life - as a centre for visitors.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- You could argue - that it's been redefined.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Despite working around the fact - that it was a listed building...
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- ..the museum remained open - during the redevelopment.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Everyone is impressed - with the Main Entrance Building...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- ..including the pupils of - the nearby school, Ysgol Coed y Gof.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- We're the closest Welsh school - to the museum.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- It's amazing to have this incredible - educational tool on our doorstep.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- This has changed so much.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- In the past, - it was hmmm but now it's wow!
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- The whole school - could fit into half the building.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46- I didn't know that - they were changing this place.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- When I came here before, - it was very old-fashioned...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- ..and much smaller.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- You've just walked in - and seen the changes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- It was old-fashioned - but how does it feel now?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- It's more modern and nicer...
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- ..than when I came here - the last time.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- As well as renovating - the shop and cafe...
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- ..there are new galleries - and plans for educational rooms.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Step beyond the Main Entrance - Building and you find something new.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- We have a brand-new space - called Gweithdy...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- ..that celebrates Wales - as a creative nation.
0:07:36 > 0:07:42- People can create and - celebrate creating with their hands.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Gweithdy is home to a cafe.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- In the past, you left the entrance - and faced the elements...
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- ..but this is a lovely woodland cafe - to take shelter and do workshops.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Behind me, - there are black and white hoovers...
0:07:59 > 0:08:05- ..that are very unusual - so are a different colour.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- One is made from wood - and the other is made in pottery.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Another development - that is sure to excite visitors...
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- ..is the unique - Llys Llywelyn Medieval Court.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25- We've taken archaeological evidence - from Llys Rhosyr on Anglesey...
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- ..to recreate the medieval court - of Llys Llywelyn.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- It's being recreated with a twist...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- ..so that school children - can stay overnight.
0:08:36 > 0:08:42- I like Llys Llywelyn - and they should finish it next year.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Why are you excited - about this place, Finn?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- I can come here with friends - to have a massive sleepover...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- ..because you can sleep in it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- There are other projects afoot.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- The Vulcan Pub from Cardiff - will be recreated on the site.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- This a platform for Wales.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- St Fagans will be one of the best - history museums in the world.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Our journey starts - with the completion of this work.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- We can welcome the thousands - of visitors who come here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- I hope you feel - that this gives a warm welcome...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- ..and is a platform - to build upon in the future.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- ..and asked if I wanted - to spend a month...
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- ..sketching the people and - landscape of Patagonia...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- ..for the celebrations.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33- It's apt to be standing in front - of the portrait of Luned Gonzalez.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Luned was one of the people - who took us around the areas...
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- ..of Tir Halen and Dolafon - near her home in the Gaiman.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- She's a lively - and charismatic personality.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- She put people at ease - when we all visited them.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Luned would chat to my subjects - whilst I painted them...
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- ..so there wasn't anything - artificial about my portraits.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Isaias and his family recently moved - to Wales from Patagonia.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- He was eager for Meirion - to paint Patagonia and its people.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- The concept was to freeze time...
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- ..in the 150th anniversary - of the landing of the Mimosa.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- We wanted to show the history...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- ..the people and current community - of Patagonia.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- These are the Welsh speakers - and those active in the community.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- This is an incredible collection - of the Patagonia of today.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Whilst visiting the Colony, it was - the locals that interested Meirion.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- I have a keen interest in portraits - but also horses and landscapes.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- There's the story - of John Daniel Evans...
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- ..riding his horse, Malacara - and being chased by Indians.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- He gets home just in time - before his horse dies.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05- It's very similar and along the - same lines as the story of Gelert.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- As my wife and I crossed - the prairie in the car...
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- ..I suggested that it was the site - of the Valley of the Martyrs story.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19- It was almost magical as a horse - appeared near some water...
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- ..and it was exactly - as I had imagined Malacara.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- As an artist - who paints fictional things...
0:22:30 > 0:22:36- ..the highlight of the whole project - was the appearance of this horse.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- They have brought - Patagonia to Cardigan.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Cardigan has ties with Patagonia - as it's twinned with Trevelin.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- I've never been to Patagonia...
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- ..but after seeing these - incredible paintings by Meirion...
0:23:02 > 0:23:08- ..I will certainly consider - taking a trip to the country.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- What do you think of your portrait?
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- I didn't expect it to be so - big and thought it would be smaller.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- That chapel is very important to us.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27- It's where we got married and - christened our youngest son, Joseph.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- It represents - the history of my life.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- How would you describe - your collection in this exhibition?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Warmth is one word - that springs to mind.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- This stems from the initial welcome - on our arrival...
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- ..to the feeling I got when reliving - the trip in my paintings.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- I could feel the geniality - of the people.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59- Being in this room and surrounded - by twelve wonderful people...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- ..is an emotional experience - in itself.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Those who have seen the exhibition - feel the same.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Meirion's work is incredible.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- People must come to view - the exhibition...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- ..as it's fantastic.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Make sure you visit Awen Teifi, - if you're ever in the area.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35- Last week, many of our - co-workers at Tinopolis...
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- ..trekked over 60 miles along the - coastal path of Pembrokeshire...
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- ..to raise funds - for the Golau Cancer Foundation.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50- The crew trekked for two days and - they sent us this short video.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16- We're doing this for - the Golau Cancer Foundation...
0:25:16 > 0:25:21- ..and in memory of my late wife, - Elin.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- We've reached Solva and the last - five miles were really tough.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Yes, it was really difficult - going up and down the hills.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- As soon as one hill was done, - there was another around the corner.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- We've sorted out our feet and - are ready for the last 12 miles.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- It's just turned 9.30pm...
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- ..and we've done - over 30 miles today.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- It felt like it too.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36- It was the location - for Prince Charles' ball...
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- ..following his Investiture - at Caernarfon Castle.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Over the years, - the mansion deteriorated...
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- ..and was recently put up for sale.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- The good news is that the new owners - are determined to restore it...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- ..to its Golden era.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58- The great news is that we've already - been to see the restoration.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Enjoy.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- This mansion was built - for the third Lord of Newborough.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15- A fire destroyed the original house - in 1836.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- This was a brand-new home - and it cost a fortune to build.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- The records of the mansion - are interesting.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- It was a family of eleven with - two parents and nine children...
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- ..and they had 27 members of staff.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- The family documents - reveal their immense wealth.
0:28:38 > 0:28:44- In 1873, there's a record of - the estates in the British Isles...
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- ..and this family owned - about 30,000 acres...
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- ..that raised 20,000 in rent.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- One man who has worked on the estate - in recent years is Dafydd Glyn.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- He was employed here from 1979 - until a few years ago.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- I came to Glynllifon - as a tractor driver.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- After a few years, I moved positions - to become a stockman.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17- Twenty years later...
0:29:17 > 0:29:22- ..I applied and was given - the role of farm manager.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28- I'm sure you heard interesting - stories about the Newborough family.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- Yes, there was a lot of stories.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- In 1948 or soon after - the end of the war...
0:29:40 > 0:29:46- ..Newborough sold the land, - farm and mansion...
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- ..and it was bought by the - Tudor family from Merionethshire.
0:29:52 > 0:29:58- After the war the breweries wanted - wood to make beer kegs...
0:29:58 > 0:30:04- ..because the site was full of oak - trees and many were chopped down.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09- What are your thoughts of the - site's renovation into a hotel?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- It's important - to move with the times.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- It would be a tragedy - if it fell into ruins.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24- This is the dining room and it - will remain this way in the hotel.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- When the family lived here, this - room had a large mahogany table...
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- ..where they would dine - and enjoy themselves.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39- The third Lord of Newborough spent - money on himself and his family...
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- ..but also spent on the estate and - renovated many of the farmhouses.
0:30:45 > 0:30:51- They are easy to recognize due to - their architectural characteristics.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56- We see this in the houses on Bardsey - Island as they owned the island too.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- The third Lord of Newborough - is buried on Bardsey Island.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07- We bought the property because - it's fantastic and in a lovely area.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- This is a once-in-a-lifetime - opportunity...
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- ..to restore such - a magnificent Welsh heritage asset.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Currently, there's 101 rooms.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- By the time we finish, - there will be about 40 bedrooms.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- We've completed four bedrooms and - it's taken 15 months to do those.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- One room took over 14 tons of - lime plaster so the rooms are huge.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37- There's not many like this in the UK - let alone Wales.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- It's great that this place - is being saved.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- The plan is to open the site - as a hotel in two years.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53- I look forward to coming here - to enjoy a feast in the future.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Thanks, Elin.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- It's time to head to the kitchen.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Let's take a look at what - is on the menu this morning.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Celery is classed as - a negative-calorie food...
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- ..due to its low-calorie count.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18- It's a healthy vegetable, - full of water and nutrients.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- It has a strong flavour.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- It loses its flavour as you cook it!
0:32:24 > 0:32:25- Good!
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- You can use it for many recipes.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Celery is a good foundation - for a recipe.
0:32:34 > 0:32:40- The centre is the best part and - it has a wonderful flavour.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- I tend to throw that part.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47- The first dish of the day - is for a mackerel and celery salad.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- I've removed the skin - and bones of the mackerel.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- You can ask the person in the shop - to remove the bones for you.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57- It's full of bones.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Brush the skin - with some Dijon mustard.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- It will add a touch of flavour.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- I'm only giving it a thin layer.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- Can you use English mustard?
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- English mustard is much stronger...
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- ..so use a little less.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- What did you sprinkle on the top?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Sprinkle it with some black pepper.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Fry it skin-side down in a pan - of olive oil.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- It needs to be cooked on a low heat, - but the pan must be hot.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- It will take minutes - for the mackerel to cook.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Next, we've got the salad.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- A Waldorf salad is very popular...
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- ..and includes apples and walnuts.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50- We've got a combination of flavours - to serve alongside our mackerel.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- I use red and green apples.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Does it have to be a red apple?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Use a variety of apples.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- They all have different tastes.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- I find red apples are sweeter - than green apples.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- Use apples - that will taste different.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Finely slice the apples.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- This mackerel smells great.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- The fat in the mackerel helps - it to cook.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- I'm cutting the apples into cubes...
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- ..this will enable the salad - to have different textures.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Season the mackerel - with a touch of salt.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- You don't want to draw too much - moisture from the fish.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Turn the mackerel over.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- The skin is browning nicely.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- It doesn't take long.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Remove it from the heat.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- The pan retains the heat - to finish cooking the mackerel.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- You don't want to dry it out.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- I'll add the apple slices - to our plate.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- I got a whiff of the mackerel.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- The aroma hit me first.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Let's turn to the celery.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- The leaves are great to eat, - just like the lettuce in a salad.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- You can also use the stalks.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- Peel away the strands on the celery.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18- They can be quite tough to eat.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- You don't want to eat - the hard bits...
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- ..but use a peeler.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- I'm also going to add the celery...
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- ..to build our salad.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- We've also got watercress.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- The pepper taste of the watercress - works well.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- The mackerel will also - have a peppery taste.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48- Celery is good for you - for a number of reasons.
0:35:48 > 0:35:54- There's no reason not to eat it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- A lot of people don't know - what to do with it.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- It's great for you.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03- Daf isn't keen on celery.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- No, but I heard that celery - helps you sleep.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- It's an aphrodisiac too!
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Everyone will be buying it now.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Let's make a dressing too.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- You need Dijon mustard, - a touch of honey...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- ..fresh lemon juice...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- ..and some olive oil.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- I'm going to add the oil - as I whisk the ingredients.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- I want the dressing to be thinner.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- That looks wonderful.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- This is a lovely fresh dish - to have over the summer.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Use extra virgin olive oil - or any other olive oil.
0:36:43 > 0:36:49- Don't use vegetable oil - for the dressing.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Add the mackerel to the plate.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58- It has only taken you five minutes - to make this.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- I'll apply the dressing to the top.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- It's a very summery dish.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- It's also very healthy.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- Can you use more of the celery?
0:37:12 > 0:37:18- If you want to use all the celery, - peel it and chop it up.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- You can create batons from it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- You can use any part of the celery.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- You can also cook the celery.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- You could fry the celery in a pan - and serve it hot.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- A salad doesn't have to be cold.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Salads can be made from anything.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Celery is very cheap at the moment.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- I paid 1 for all this celery!
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- It will go up in price - if it grows in popularity.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- It looks delicious.
0:37:55 > 0:38:01- You can view all of today's items - again on Clic or iPlayer.

0:38:32 > 0:38:36- When I think of opera, - I imagine a grand theatre...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- ..and having to sit still for hours.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- But there's a new project...
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- ..which is about to change - the way we experience opera.
0:38:46 > 0:38:52- Carmen, The Marriage of Figaro - and The Barber of Seville...
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- ..are just a few of - our most famous operas.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- We traditionally associate - a night at the opera as elitist.

0:42:24 > 0:42:30- You may have been in the sun - and got a tan.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35- Marion is here to help you - maintain your tan.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- This is a long process.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42- There are steps to take to preserve - a tan before and after your holiday.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- You have to exfoliate - the skin first.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50- Do this for a fortnight - before your holiday.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- You should exfoliate every day - for the fortnight.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- The skin takes 10 to 14 days - to renew its cells.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06- This is how you will get - a lasting tan.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- The tan draws the melanin - to the surface...
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- ..and enables the new cells - to have it.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18- We're going to apply this exfoliator - to your skin, Daf.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- I'll be the guinea pig.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Can you feel that?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- It does feel rough.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- Yes, it is rough.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33- When you've got a tan, you don't - want to use a rough exfoliator.
0:43:33 > 0:43:39- But in the beginning, you need - to get rid of any dead skin cells.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41- My hands are clean!
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Apply it to clean skin.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- You can use some of - these in the shower.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48- It smells lovely.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53- We also have this tan optimizer.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- It helps enhance the tan.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00- It will help you to tan - and make it last.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02- After using the exfoliator...
0:44:02 > 0:44:06- ..you also have to use this 14 days - prior to your holiday.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- This is the first process.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13- Next, we move on - to the second display.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14- Excuse me.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15- Excuse me.- - Bless you.
0:44:16 > 0:44:21- Don't think that you can lie in - the sun without using sun cream.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24- We have to be careful these days.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- You will damage the skin.
0:44:27 > 0:44:32- Your skin will peel - and you can lose your tan.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37- In the shower, you will need - to use a lighter product...
0:44:37 > 0:44:39- ..that isn't as rough.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- You can use this sponge - in the shower.
0:44:43 > 0:44:48- The sponge is much softer - than the exfoliator.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- That's nice.
0:44:50 > 0:44:56- Use the loofah gently on the skin - whilst in the shower.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00- You should do this - after being in the sun.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- Don't use hot water in the shower.

0:45:07 > 0:45:12- The water needs to be cool - to help maintain the tan.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14- Hot water will dry the skin...
0:45:15 > 0:45:20- ..which will lead to peeling skin - and the loss of the tan.
