0:05:24 > 0:05:31- ..many Welsh men went to France - to fight in the Great War.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- One of the reasons - why we remember them...

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- The Battle of the Somme - was another bloody battle.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- ..at Caernarfon Castle last year.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Last June, - I came up with the idea...
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- ..to bring a garden - of poppies to the museum.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07- It was an incredible success with - over 120,000 poppies in the garden.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- And we raised 77,000, - so it was a complete success.

0:06:33 > 0:06:40- Would you pay 2,000 - to attend a pottery course?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Apparently, spending an hour or so - behind a potter's wheel...
0:06:45 > 0:06:51- ..is the latest way to relax - after a long and tough day at work.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Mari visited Gwili Pottery - to find out more.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Wales isn't short of potteries.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- There's Nantgarw, Porth Llwyd - and Ewenny to name but a few.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- The Gwili Pottery - opened in the 1970s.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Mam has worked here for 20 years.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27- What do you make here?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- We make everything from mugs - to plates, teapots, cookie jars...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- ..and personalized items - in Welsh and English.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- We do our best for you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Many viewers of Heno - and Prynhawn Da...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- ..are very familiar - with one of the pottery's plates.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- This is the Salt of the Earth plate - to thank you for all you do.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- We've been lucky enough to make - the Salt of the Earth plates...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- ..and have made hundreds of them - so they are all over the place.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- The mother and daughter realize that - people want to make their own items.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- They want to paint their own - crockery or work on the wheel...
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- ..so we've opened at Pontarsais for - people to give it a go themselves.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Lowri Johnston is one person - who enjoys getting creative.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- I'd never made my own crockery...
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- ..but saw an episode of the BBC's - The Great Pottery Throw Down.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- The episode inspired me - to take it up...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- ..so I looked for some lessons - and that is that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41- If I've had a hard day, I can switch - off for two hours and it's great.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- I make items for the home - such as mugs, vases...
0:08:48 > 0:08:49- I make items for the home - such as mugs, vases...- - ..plates and small bowls.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- ..plates and small bowls.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- I've started my own collection and - make pieces for friends and family.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- The Gwili Pottery - welcomes people of all ages.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- It can be so messy - to do this at home.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It should keep them entertained - all afternoon...
0:09:06 > 0:09:12- ..but after ten minutes, the - kitchen's a mess and they are bored.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18- This place has everything you need - with its a kiln and a wheel.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- You cannot recreate that at home.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- Having this on your own doorstep - in the countryside is very special.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34- I've worked here for a few years - but it doesn't feel like work.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- It's a lovely job - as I can relax whilst painting.
0:09:38 > 0:09:44- I'm currently working on - our pottery's popular Howie pattern.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46- I usually do the plate.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- This is a commission - and they just want a patterned edge.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Children, babies and - even grandparents come and try it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- We've done hen parties, - birthdays and retirement presents.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- It helps to chill out - and give me some time out.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- After hearing of its benefits...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- ..I got behind - the potter's wheel myself.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22- # My darling
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- # I've hungered for your touch
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- # A long... #
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- RECORD SCRATCHES
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Oh, I don't think pottery making - is for me!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Well done, Mari.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- There ar twelve footballs teams - in the Welsh Premier League.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Over the summer, - two Welsh football fans...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- ..have set themselves a challenge.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- To cycle around twelve stadiums - of these teams...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- ..to raise money - for a special cause.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- Rob and I will visit the twelve - Welsh Premier League stadiums.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Today, we're going - to Aberystwyth and Bala.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Tomorrow, we travel to Bangor...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- ..and all the way to Wrexham - and Oswestry.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- On day three, we'll head to Cardiff.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- It's a total of 382 miles - over the weekend.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- This wasn't my idea.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Dan decided to do this bike ride.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- He asked everyone - in our cycling group to join him.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Everyone said "No" apart from me - because I felt sorry for him!
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Rob and I cycle around Cardiff - at the weekend...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- ..but wanted to see more of Wales...
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- ..so thought about - going to North Wales.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- We decided to raise money - for The Wallich charity...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- ..which is close to our hearts.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09- We chose to do it for The Wallich - homeless charity in Wales.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- There's two reasons for this.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Dan's mother - works for the charity...
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- ..and my mother works - as a probation officer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19- She uses the charity...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- ..to help those with problems - with drugs and alcohol.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- I work in Cardiff and see homeless - people on the street every day.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- It's an increasing issue in Cardiff.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38- It would be great to raise money for - The Wallich to help with their work.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44- My first thought - is we still have 381 miles to go.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50- I can only think about the distance - left and where we'll stop for food.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I can do the distance...
0:12:52 > 0:12:58- ..but I'm nervous about doing it - over the terrain we're covering.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- We're ready for it - so need to do it now.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Wales has some pretty places - that we've never visited...
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- ..and the best way to see them - is on a bike.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15- We've got a JustGiving page and - people have been really generous.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- We've got 1,000 already and hope - to collect more during the ride.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- It's quite a challenge.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- Congratulations to them both - for cycling around every stadium...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- ..in the Welsh Premier League.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- It's time for a break - but we've still got this.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47- We hear of Siop Lewis Bookshop - in Llandudno that sells all sorts.
0:13:47 > 0:13:55- And Emma gives advice to girls - on suitable make-up for school.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Welcome back.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27- Our cameras visited - Siop Lewis in Llandudno.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- You'll find a warm welcome, company - and friendship in Siop Lewis.
0:14:35 > 0:14:42- Trystan and Llinos Lewis created - that atmosphere in their business.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49- It's challenging to run a Welsh - book store in this day and age.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- How has Siop Lewis - responded to that challenge?
0:14:52 > 0:14:58- We've diversified as this was - originally a second-hand book store.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- We changed it to a Welsh book store - but offer crafts, CDs and cards.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- There's a children's corner...
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- ..and a space for groups and - Welsh learners to have a coffee.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- How has Llandudno responded - to the changes at Siop Lewis?
0:15:17 > 0:15:23- Llandudno is very supportive - despite being an Anglicized town.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29- We offer more than just books - but offer a place to socialize...
0:15:29 > 0:15:35- ..in a town where are there - are very few opportunities...
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- ..to speak Welsh.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- We took over the running of the shop - ten years ago...
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- ..and the provision of Welsh cards - and crafts was very weak.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54- Things have certainly improved - in the last ten years.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00- We still sell Welsh gifts, - cards and jewellery...
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- ..but also have homeware.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- Welsh learners regularly visit - to enjoy a chat and a cuppa.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- We're Welsh learners...
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- ..who visit Siop Lewis - every Friday morning...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- ..to practice speaking Welsh.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32- It's very important that we can - speak Welsh in the community.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- It's pointless learning the language - unless you use it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- I love coming to Trystan's shop.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- It's wonderful - being with this group.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- This is a great place - to socialize and speak Welsh...
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- ..and have fun.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Having fun whilst learning Welsh - is very important to me...
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- ..because Welsh learners - are the future..
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- ..of the Welsh language.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- Yes, there's something to entertain - all ages in this shop.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- What happens in this story, Brython?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- The tractor - has crashed into the water.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Why did it crash?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Why did it crash?- - The farmer was driving too quickly.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- What noise did it make in the water?
0:17:29 > 0:17:30- What noise did it make in the water?- - Splash!
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- It's true that customers - are attracted by the shop window.

0:17:43 > 0:17:49- The Eisteddfod is on Anglesey - so that's the theme for the window.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- There's Welsh CDs...
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- ..and other items - that we'll sell on the Maes.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- People associate the book world - with that beast called Amazon.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- How much of a threat is it to you?
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- We offer a service - that you do not get from Amazon.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- We advise people on the books that - are suitable for their abilities.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Nothing beats - having that book in your hands.
