-Hello and welcome

-to Bore Da on 13 August.

-If you went to the Anglesey

-for the National Eisteddfod...

-..I hope you've enjoyed yourself.

-Unfortunately,

-it's the last Bore Da of the summer.

-But don't worry as we've got plenty

-on the way between now and 10.00am.

-Mari hears of the surprising way

-to relax behind a potter's wheel.

-Emma offers make-up advice

-for schoolgirls.

-Elin also hears about the success

-of Pero pet food for dogs and cats.

-There are special cocktails

-at a bar in Cardiff.

-Yvonne has the story

-and is propping up the bar.

-Huw Fash and his notorious sash

-roam the Eisteddfod Maes...

-..ready to award

-the most stylish visitors.

-There's something for everyone.

-Welcome once again to Bore Da.

-We start this morning in Caernarfon.

-I paid it a visit recently

-to learn more about the famous town.

-Caernarfon...

-..or the town of the Cofis

-as it's known around Wales.

-Although I've lived in Caernarfon,

-I didn't know a lot about the town.

-I hadn't visited the castle...

-..and I knew nothing

-about the old walls.

-So, who better to enlighten me...

-..than the true Cofi himself,

-Emrys Llewelyn.

-Welcome to Caernarfon.

-Welcome to Caernarfon.

-

-Thank you.

-The castle is steeped in history.

-The castle is steeped in history.

-

-It's everywhere.

-The castle is steeped in history.

-It's around every corner

-and down every street.

-It's around every corner

-and down every street.

-Walls surround the town.

-There are ten towers

-and three gates.

-Master James of Saint George

-was an architect for Edward I.

-He told Edward to build his castle

-and town on the island.

-Water was around them so it was

-easier to protect themselves.

-Let's take a tour of

-the gates and towers.

-OK, great.

-This is Porth y Maes

-or Port of the Square.

-It was known as

-the Tradesman's Entrance.

-The ground level was higher

-in the Middle Ages.

-The Victorians built on

-Maes Glas or Castle Square.

-In 1294,

-a horn sounded on the Square.

-Madog ap Llywelyn was attacking.

-He destroyed the town, burnt down

-buildings and wiped out an army.

-The King wasn't happy

-and Madog was captured and killed.

-Madog was beheaded and his head

-was sent to the Tower of London.

-Porth Mawr or East Gate

-is known as the ceremonial gate.

-The two towers are being developed.

-There'll be an exhibition

-on the left side...

-..and on the right, a bus stop.

-Visitors from all over will arrive

-at this Medieval entrance.

-We'll head towards Porth y Mor.

-It's a straight line

-from this gate to Porth y Mor.

-It's the Roman grid system.

-All Roman forts are the same,

-but some more than others.

-Caernarfon is known as one of the

-best Medieval boroughs in Europe.

-This is a barbican

-- a gate before a gate.

-A gate before a gate?

-A gate before a gate?

-

-There's a barbican on the East Gate.

-There's a barbican

-in London and Plymouth.

-In London, it's a theatrical area.

-I'll take you to the museum

-of the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

-Keith Jones will guide you around

-and tell you more about the museum.

-I'll go and see Keith then.

-Thanks, Emrys.

-Keith Jones is a true Cofi,

-just like Emrys.

-Having served with

-the Royal Welch Fusiliers...

-..he's now responsible

-for the Regimental Museum.

-The museum is based

-in Caernarfon Castle.

-It opened back in 2000.

-The museum displays information

-about the Royal Welch Fusiliers...

-..from 1689 up until now.

-There's a reason why

-it's located here.

-Back in 1914...

-..many Welsh men went to France

-to fight in the Great War.

-One of the reasons

-why we remember them...

-..is because of an important

-Welshman called Hedd Wyn.

-A centenary ago the poet, Hedd Wyn

-died at the Battle of Passchendaele.

-The Battle of the Somme

-was another bloody battle.

-Keith was responsible

-for the amazing scene...

-..at Caernarfon Castle last year.

-Last June,

-I came up with the idea...

-..to bring a garden

-of poppies to the museum.

-It was an incredible success with

-over 120,000 poppies in the garden.

-And we raised 77,000,

-so it was a complete success.

-Unfortunately,

-my tour of the town is over.

-And just like Emrys said

-at the start of the tour...

-..there's history in every

-nook and cranny of Caernarfon.

-Thanks to Emrys and Keith

-for a guided tour of the town.

-Would you pay 2,000

-to attend a pottery course?

-Apparently, spending an hour or so

-behind a potter's wheel...

-..is the latest way to relax

-after a long and tough day at work.

-Mari visited Gwili Pottery

-to find out more.

-Wales isn't short of potteries.

-There's Nantgarw, Porth Llwyd

-and Ewenny to name but a few.

-Today, I'm at the Gwili Pottery

-in the Towy Valley.

-The Gwili Pottery

-opened in the 1970s.

-Mam has worked here for 20 years.

-What do you make here?

-We make everything from mugs

-to plates, teapots, cookie jars...

-..and personalized items

-in Welsh and English.

-We do our best for you.

-Many viewers of Heno

-and Prynhawn Da...

-..are very familiar

-with one of the pottery's plates.

-This is the Salt of the Earth plate

-to thank you for all you do.

-We've been lucky enough to make

-the Salt of the Earth plates...

-..and have made hundreds of them

-so they are all over the place.

-The mother and daughter realize that

-people want to make their own items.

-They want to paint their own

-crockery or work on the wheel...

-..so we've opened at Pontarsais for

-people to give it a go themselves.

-Lowri Johnston is one person

-who enjoys getting creative.

-I'd never made my own crockery...

-..but saw an episode of the BBC's

-The Great Pottery Throw Down.

-The episode inspired me

-to take it up...

-..so I looked for some lessons

-and that is that.

-If I've had a hard day, I can switch

-off for two hours and it's great.

-I make items for the home

-such as mugs, vases...

-I make items for the home

-such as mugs, vases...

-

-..plates and small bowls.

-..plates and small bowls.

-I've started my own collection and

-make pieces for friends and family.

-The Gwili Pottery

-welcomes people of all ages.

-It can be so messy

-to do this at home.

-It should keep them entertained

-all afternoon...

-..but after ten minutes, the

-kitchen's a mess and they are bored.

-This place has everything you need

-with its a kiln and a wheel.

-You cannot recreate that at home.

-Having this on your own doorstep

-in the countryside is very special.

-I've worked here for a few years

-but it doesn't feel like work.

-It's a lovely job

-as I can relax whilst painting.

-I'm currently working on

-our pottery's popular Howie pattern.

-I usually do the plate.

-This is a commission

-and they just want a patterned edge.

-Children, babies and

-even grandparents come and try it.

-We've done hen parties,

-birthdays and retirement presents.

-It helps to chill out

-and give me some time out.

-After hearing of its benefits...

-..I got behind

-the potter's wheel myself.

-# My darling

-# I've hungered for your touch

-# A long... #

-RECORD SCRATCHES

-Oh, I don't think pottery making

-is for me!

-Well done, Mari.

-There ar twelve footballs teams

-in the Welsh Premier League.

-Over the summer,

-two Welsh football fans...

-..have set themselves a challenge.

-To cycle around twelve stadiums

-of these teams...

-..to raise money

-for a special cause.

-Rob and I will visit the twelve

-Welsh Premier League stadiums.

-Today, we're going

-to Aberystwyth and Bala.

-Tomorrow, we travel to Bangor...

-..and all the way to Wrexham

-and Oswestry.

-On day three, we'll head to Cardiff.

-It's a total of 382 miles

-over the weekend.

-This wasn't my idea.

-Dan decided to do this bike ride.

-He asked everyone

-in our cycling group to join him.

-Everyone said "No" apart from me

-because I felt sorry for him!

-Rob and I cycle around Cardiff

-at the weekend...

-..but wanted to see more of Wales...

-..so thought about

-going to North Wales.

-We decided to raise money

-for The Wallich charity...

-..which is close to our hearts.

-We chose to do it for The Wallich

-homeless charity in Wales.

-There's two reasons for this.

-Dan's mother

-works for the charity...

-..and my mother works

-as a probation officer.

-She uses the charity...

-..to help those with problems

-with drugs and alcohol.

-I work in Cardiff and see homeless

-people on the street every day.

-It's an increasing issue in Cardiff.

-It would be great to raise money for

-The Wallich to help with their work.

-My first thought

-is we still have 381 miles to go.

-I can only think about the distance

-left and where we'll stop for food.

-I can do the distance...

-..but I'm nervous about doing it

-over the terrain we're covering.

-We're ready for it

-so need to do it now.

-Wales has some pretty places

-that we've never visited...

-..and the best way to see them

-is on a bike.

-We've got a JustGiving page and

-people have been really generous.

-We've got 1,000 already and hope

-to collect more during the ride.

-It's quite a challenge.

-Congratulations to them both

-for cycling around every stadium...

-..in the Welsh Premier League.

-It's time for a break

-but we've still got this.

-We hear of Siop Lewis Bookshop

-in Llandudno that sells all sorts.

-And Emma gives advice to girls

-on suitable make-up for school.

-Ellie Jones shows us how to add

-more nutrients to a child's diet.

-I'll see you shortly.

-.

-Welcome back.

-There's recently been a series

-about Welsh shops on Prynhawn Da.

-Our cameras visited

-Siop Lewis in Llandudno.

-You'll find a warm welcome, company

-and friendship in Siop Lewis.

-Trystan and Llinos Lewis created

-that atmosphere in their business.

-It's challenging to run a Welsh

-book store in this day and age.

-How has Siop Lewis

-responded to that challenge?

-We've diversified as this was

-originally a second-hand book store.

-We changed it to a Welsh book store

-but offer crafts, CDs and cards.

-There's a children's corner...

-..and a space for groups and

-Welsh learners to have a coffee.

-How has Llandudno responded

-to the changes at Siop Lewis?

-Llandudno is very supportive

-despite being an Anglicized town.

-We offer more than just books

-but offer a place to socialize...

-..in a town where are there

-are very few opportunities...

-..to speak Welsh.

-We took over the running of the shop

-ten years ago...

-..and the provision of Welsh cards

-and crafts was very weak.

-Things have certainly improved

-in the last ten years.

-We still sell Welsh gifts,

-cards and jewellery...

-..but also have homeware.

-Welsh learners regularly visit

-to enjoy a chat and a cuppa.

-We're Welsh learners...

-..who visit Siop Lewis

-every Friday morning...

-..to practice speaking Welsh.

-It's very important that we can

-speak Welsh in the community.

-It's pointless learning the language

-unless you use it.

-I love coming to Trystan's shop.

-It's wonderful

-being with this group.

-This is a great place

-to socialize and speak Welsh...

-..and have fun.

-Having fun whilst learning Welsh

-is very important to me...

-..because Welsh learners

-are the future..

-..of the Welsh language.

-Yes, there's something to entertain

-all ages in this shop.

-What happens in this story, Brython?

-The tractor

-has crashed into the water.

-Why did it crash?

-Why did it crash?

-

-The farmer was driving too quickly.

-What noise did it make in the water?

-What noise did it make in the water?

-

-Splash!

-It's true that customers

-are attracted by the shop window.

-I arrange the window

-to suit the seasons.

-The Eisteddfod is on Anglesey

-so that's the theme for the window.

-There's Welsh CDs...

-..and other items

-that we'll sell on the Maes.

-People associate the book world

-with that beast called Amazon.

-How much of a threat is it to you?

-We offer a service

-that you do not get from Amazon.

-We advise people on the books that

-are suitable for their abilities.

-Nothing beats

-having that book in your hands.

-You've spent ten years in the shop

-and dabbled in music and politics.

-Ten years has flown.

-Yes, the ten years have flown

-but they have been wonderful...

-..thanks to the lively shop

-with all the people.

-This is more than just a shop but a

-meeting place for all in Llandudno.

-Good luck to the shop.

-If you're in Llandudno, call in

-to the shop and show your support.

-It's time to return to school.

-Emma has advice for teen girls

-on wearing to make-up at school.

-Today, I've returned to school

-to show these girls...

-..how they can wear pretty make-up

-that's suitable for the classroom.

-Choose a foundation

-that matches your skintone.

-Today,

-I'm using Infallible by L'Oreal.

-It stays put all day

-and controls oil.

-Use a brush to apply make-up.

-You'll use less product

-and achieve a natural look.

-Add concealer to areas

-that need more coverage...

-..including the under-eyes,

-on spots or patches of redness.

-This palette from Rimmel will

-add shape and colour to the face.

-Use the dark shade under the cheeks,

-blush on the apples of the cheeks...

-..and the highlighter on the upper

-cheek-bones, brow bone and nose.

-Are there rules for wearing

-make-up to school?

-Our school hasn't banned make-up.

-However, there's a fine line between

-acceptable everyday make-up...

-..and something that's

-better suited to the weekend.

-We don't want to encourage them

-to wear make-up to school...

-..but if they're going to do so,

-we want them to be sensible.

-There's a culture of wearing layers

-of make-up amongst youngsters.

-Do you think that it's suitable

-for the classroom?

-There are several reason

-why pupils wear make-up.

-They feel under pressure

-from friends.

-They also enjoy experimenting

-and it boosts their confidence.

-The school aims to promote

-self-confidence...

-..in the classroom

-and extra-curricularly.

-At this age, pupils tend

-to develop spots or blemishes...

-..so wearing a little make-up...

-..can help them

-feel more confident.

-Bea has joined me

-and I've already perfected her skin.

-Let's focus on the brows,

-lashes and lips.

-Fill in the brows using a fine

-pencil to mimic natural hairs.

-Use a good mascara

-to define and open up the eyes.

-Lip liner is a wonderful way

-to shape the lip.

-This one from NYX looks perfect

-with a little natural gloss.

-I do wear cosmetics to school but I

-don't wear a full face of make-up.

-I like the look

-because I love the eyebrows.

-It's also easy to recreate at home.

-I like the look

-because it's very natural.

-It's a great look for school

-and I really like it.

-I'll try to get up 15 minutes

-earlier to recreate this look.

-Those were some handy tips.

-Thanks, Emma.

-This next item

-sounds very interesting.

-Ellie Jones explains how you can add

-nutrition to your children's diet...

-..without them knowing!

-Ellie Jones is a blogger

-about healthy children's food.

-It's difficult to get children

-to eat healthy and nutritious food.

-Yes, it can be difficult.

-It's important to make it fun

-and serve colourful food.

-Discuss food from a young age

-and they will be open to anything.

-You've got a few examples

-and start on the end with pesto.

-I love pesto

-and could eat it every day.

-It's very easy to make

-with the children.

-We've got a photograph

-of your sons helping you.

-Yes, they were tearing

-the basil for me yesterday.

-Strip the plant and place it

-in a pestle and mortar.

-You can use a little hand blender

-if you want to do it a bit quicker.

-Grind it up

-with a splash of olive oil.

-Add the pine nuts, garlic,

-some parmesan and lemon juice.

-Mash it together

-and add more olive oil.

-You can make it as thick

-or as runny as you like.

-Next, we have tomatoes.

-Next, we have tomatoes.

-

-Yes, tomato sauce.

-Next, we have tomatoes.

-I usually keep a stock of it

-in my freezer...

-I usually keep a stock of it

-in my freezer...

-..but I've got some I made

-this morning.

-I usually serve this with pasta.

-It's simply onions

-fried with some garlic and oregano.

-I add a chopped courgette too.

-It's a great way to hide vegetables

-in the sauce.

-The children won't notice it

-and can't see anything green.

-Boil it, blitz it with the blender

-and that's your tomato sauce.

-It can be frozen

-so the freezer is very useful!

-I usually make a large pot

-or do some batch cooking...

-..and freeze it

-in about four different pots.

-Next, we have a pudding.

-This is the easiest

-of all my dishes to make.

-It's a compote.

-This is made from frozen berries.

-It's about 2 for a packet.

-You buy them as they come.

-Yes, and boil them in a saucepan.

-Allow it to cool

-and you have the compote.

-Do you add any sugar?

-I don't usually add sugar

-as this is what my children eat...

-..and they don't eat a lot of sugar.

-We finish with the lollipops.

-My youngest son

-doesn't like drinking milk...

-..so wanted a way

-to get him to have some milk.

-I mixed milk, strawberry and banana

-in a blender and froze it.

-Thanks for the handy tips, Ellie.

-I'll use those tips

-with my own children.

-It's time for a break,

-but still to come...

-..Rhodri hears about

-the story of Llywelyn the Great.

-Pet food is just

-as important as our food.

-And a North Wales company

-are leading the way.

-Have you visited

-the old velodrome in Carmarthen?

-It's experienced a makeover

-and we'll tell you more shortly.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-We've already mentioned

-the Anglesey National Eisteddfod.

-Llywelyn the Great

-is one of the historical figures...

-..who is associated with the island.

-This year marks

-the 800th anniversary...

-..since he led his army

-to South-East Wales.

-Rhodri Davies joined Dr Elin Jones

-in Caerleon to hear the story.

-Caerleon is a setting

-that sparks the imagination.

-There's a Roman amphitheatre and

-connection to King Arthur's legend.

-It's an important location

-historically and industrially.

-It's been an important place

-in the history of Wales.

-It's a mythological location

-and a centre for the Romans.

-It was one of the most important

-Roman forts in Europe.

-The imperial buildings in Caerleon

-reflect this.

-The emperors came here

-to look for inspiration...

-..before going off

-to conquer the rest of Europe.

-This is where the games were held...

-..and soldiers would drill in

-front of their wives and children.

-Their wives would come

-from the Silurian tribe.

-The children spoke a language

-similar to ancient Welsh...

-..with a little

-of their fathers' Latin thrown in.

-During the Middle Ages...

-..Caerleon became a symbol of the

-British Roman's unique civilisation.

-Nennius, Geoffrey of Monmouth

-and Gerald of Wales...

-..mention a prominent figure

-in Welsh history.

-In the Middle Ages, they made

-a connection to King Arthur.

-They thought that this

-was Arthur's Round Table.

-Gerald of Wales visited Caerleon

-during his travels of Wales in 1188.

-He thought it was an important town

-due to its Arthurian connections...

-..that was also mentioned by Nennius

-long before Gerald of Wales.

-Llywelyn the Great noticed

-the town's symbolic importance.

-Exactly 800 years ago...

-..his kingdom extended

-to the South East border.

-Llywelyn the Great

-was a prince for the whole of Wales.

-His ability to lead his people,

-inspire soldiers...

-..and forge alliances

-with other princes...

-..proved that he was a good

-politician as well as a soldier.

-One noteworthy record of Llywelyn's

-campaign is in the form of a poem...

-..by Llywarch ap Llywelyn who's

-bardic name was Prydydd y Moch.

-Llywarch ap Llywelyn

-or Prydydd y Moch...

-..was the subject of

-my research during my studies.

-In his poem, he lists the places

-that Llywelyn had occupied.

-He also praises his soldiers.

-There's references

-to Llys Aberfraw.

-In Carmarthen, he formed an army.

-He moves from Deganwy to Swansea.

-There's mention of Kidwelly

-and a symphony in Caernarfon.

-Caerleon, Oswestry...

-..Cardigan castle and St Clears

-are included too.

-I love how he jumps

-from one location to the next.

-He talks of the courts in Brecon...

-..and Baldwin Castle

-near the border in the west.

-The burning of Haverfordwest town

-is also mentioned.

-You're passionate about this work.

-It's been a key part of your life.

-I love this book

-and as you can see, it's well worn.

-For 15 years,

-I read this book nearly every day.

-I love his poetry...

-..and I don't know why everyone else

-in Wales doesn't feel the same.

-It's an important historic source.

-The words are still relevant

-to this day.

-It's incredible that it reveals

-what happened here 800 years ago.

-What an amazing

-and very interesting story.

-Healthy eating is integral for those

-who want to lead a healthy life...

-..and it helps you to feel better.

-The same is true for animals.

-Elin travelled to the Conwy Valley

-to visit a company...

-..that produces and sells

-healthy food for dogs and cats.

-Who'd have thought...

-..that on the road between

-Betws-y-Coed and Dolwyddelan...

-..there's a company

-that manufactures pet food.

-Pero Pet Foods

-has gained recent success.

-It's won an international award

-in Vienna.

-It's the perfect excuse

-for me to find out more.

-The business

-was established in 1985.

-Manufacturing dog food

-was completely coincidental.

-The owner, Dewi ran a pig farm.

-He experimented with the pig feed.

-He developed it

-and fed it to farm dogs.

-Local farmers thought it

-made the dogs' coat glossier.

-They demanded more of this food...

-..and he took it

-to farmers in Eifionydd.

-The business started to evolve.

-The pigs have been replaced

-for dog and cat food.

-We produce all-natural

-dog and cat food.

-We manufacture three brands

-- Pero, Truline and Signature.

-Signature is marketed

-for the trade industry.

-This is a noisy and busy area,

-but the packing takes place here.

-Yes, the food is produced here.

-Large sacks of dog food

-are fed into this machine.

-We produce 20 tonnes

-of dog food every day.

-I've spotted a robot

-and a sewing machine.

-There are all sorts of machines

-and it's a sophisticated system.

-It carries seven tonnes every hour

-and saves me from doing it!

-Ten loads of 24 pallets

-leave here every week.

-There are ten bags of

-various dog food here.

-We produce around 70 bags.

-The bags change because

-of different ingredients.

-Some contain pasta or meat

-and each one is different.

-That's a lot of dog food and to

-think we're in rural North Wales.

-It's been an eye-opener

-and I wasn't aware of this.

-It's great that a local business

-in rural Wales employs local people.

-Have you got a dog?

-Have you got a dog?

-

-Yes, and it eats Pero.

-You've got to say that!

-Our first award was for the

-best dog food in the country.

-It was awarded by an independent

-website that reviews dog food.

-The second award from World Branding

-was for UK Brand of the Year.

-We're a small business that's

-competed against giant brands.

-We've been very fortunate

-during the last 18 months.

-We've changed the quality

-of the packaging and food.

-We're the first UK pet food company

-to export to Iran.

-We also export to Hong Kong,

-Singapore and Malaysia.

-We exhibit at shows in China,

-so we travel across the globe.

-Pero Pet Food certainly pleases

-its customers around the world.

-But the biggest judge of them all

-is the dog.

-Are you hungry, Arthur Banjo?

-Mmm!

-It's great to hear of another

-successful business in Wales.

-Good luck to Pero Pet Food.

-Work has begun to renovate

-the Carmarthen Velodrome...

-..into a centre of excellence

-for cyclists across Wales.

-It will also serve local cyclists

-and professional athletes.

-Our cameras found out more.

-This is a historical velodrome.

-It's one of only two

-outdoor velodromes in Wales.

-The other one is in Maindy.

-It's significant in the history

-of sport and cycling...

-..in Wales and Carmarthen.

-There are photographs

-and stories of the facilities...

-..and people flocking here

-from all over Europe.

-Redeveloping it will provide

-a promising future for the track.

-It's a partnership between

-the town and county councils...

-..Welsh Cycling

-and The Big Lottery Fund.

-We're confident that

-you'll be happy with the result.

-Cycling has grown in popularity...

-..due to the Tour de France,

-Team Sky and the Olympics.

-And there's a lot more people

-cycling around on their bikes.

-It's healthy

-and this place is off the road.

-It's an inspiration for those

-who want to be like Chris Hoy.

-The facilities

-and support is here...

-..so why can't they aim high?

-That velodrome

-is going to be excellent.

-It's time for our final break of

-the morning but in a few minutes...

-..we hear of a bar in Cardiff with

-cocktails based on the Mabinogion.

-Huw and his sash search for the most

-stylish people at the Eisteddfod.

-And there's music from a resident

-of this year's Eisteddfod home...

-..Steffan Lloyd Owen.

-Grab a quick cuppa and I'll see you

-back here in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-Next, we have

-a feature on cocktails.

-First, I want to ask if you've heard

-about the Mabinogion?

-The Mabinogion is a set of four

-tales based on Welsh traditions...

-..but what has it got to do

-with cocktails?

-A bar in Cardiff

-has new cocktails...

-..named after the characters

-from the Mabinogion.

-One person who loves history

-and some cocktails is Yvonne!

-The Mabinogion contains eleven myths

-by various unknown authors...

-..from the Middle Ages.

-The Dead Canary offers a taster of

-those tales in their new cocktails.

-I had a phone call

-from the managers.

-They make a new cocktail menu

-every six months for this bar.

-It's the Year of Legends and want to

-educate people on our traditions...

-..so they turned to the Mabinogion

-for inspiration.

-They have about 30 cocktails

-in total...

-..based on the characters...

-..artefacts...

-..and episodes in the Mabinogion.

-Each has a bilingual name.

-Under each description

-of the drink...

-..there's an excerpt of

-my translation of the Mabinogion.

-Reading all the quotes gives you

-a true taster of the legends.

-This is one of the most popular

-drinking holes in Cardiff.

-Hundreds have been here

-and sampled these cocktails...

-..and many have been introduced to

-the Mabinogion for the first time.

-They are raising

-the profile of the Mabinogion...

-..in such a simple

-and interesting way.

-The menu is excellent.

-There's an extensive range

-of tasty cocktails.

-What have you chosen

-for us to sample?

-I haven't tried them all...

-..but have chosen

-four cocktails for us.

-They are Olwen, Blodeuwedd, Bedwyr

-and the Cauldron of Rebirth.

-Olwen is the lover of Culhwch.

-Culhwch falls in love with Olwen

-despite never meeting her.

-She also leaves a trail of

-white flowers wherever she goes...

-..so there are flowers

-in the cocktail.

-The Blodeuwedd cocktail

-is full of flowers...

-..and some of them are edible.

-Bedwyr is one of Arthur's knights

-in the tale of Culhwch ac Olwen.

-This cocktail has a large lump

-of blackcurrant sorbet...

-..that contains a little sword

-on a surface of ice.

-It's a delicious drink.

-When referring to receptacles,

-we come to the Cauldron of Rebirth.

-The Cauldron was a gift

-from Bendigeidfran...

-..to Matholwch, King of Ireland, in

-the Second Branch of the Mabinogion.

-The Cauldron can restore

-the dead soldiers to life...

-..but they will not be able to talk.

-Try a mocktail...

-..if you don't like alcohol

-or to reduce our intake.

-The response to the menu has been

-amazing and everyone's got involved.

-It's great to talk about it

-and it's a great talking point.

-This really does inspire people

-and it's a lot of fun as well.

-I'm excited about trying these

-so what have you got, Sioned?

-I've got Blodeuwedd with flowers,

-Calvados, lemon and egg white.

-It looks incredible

-and I think I've got Olwen.

-Yes, it has the white flower

-and Cognac.

-Karl has the Bedwyr.

-Yes, with gin.

-I'm a huge fan of gin

-and I've even got a sword!

-I feel like a real knight.

-Enjoy and cheers to you both.

-Mmmm!

-That's delicious.

-They looked delicious

-and Yvonne obviously enjoyed them!

-Huw Fash has been incredibly busy

-at the Anglesey National Eisteddfod.

-He's awarded the most stylish

-Eisteddfod-goers with his sash!

-We've arrived at the

-wet Eisteddfod Maes...

-..and while the boys in their posh

-frocks behind me are ordained...

-..we're going to search for those

-who have been stylish in the mud.

-After 30 minutes...

-..we've found

-a deserving recipient of a sash.

-The jacket is quite formal.

-The jacket is quite formal.

-

-Thank you.

-We expected good weather today and

-I wanted to wear something stylish.

-You've teamed the boots

-with the jacket...

-..as well as the bag.

-You deserve a Huw Fash Sash.

-Coming to the Eisteddfod

-is like waiting for a bus.

-You don't see one bus for hours

-and then two come at once.

-This is the second one

-within ten minutes.

-Look at how stylish she is.

-We have to look at her feet.

-How are you coping in the mud

-with the heels?

-I have to admit that I forgot

-my wellingtons...

-..and I had ten pairs of shoes

-in the caravan, but no wellingtons.

-I thought heels would lift me

-higher out of the mud.

-I think you look lovely,

-slightly out of the ordinary.

-It doesn't quite match,

-but you deserve a Huw Fash Sash.

-Thank you very much.

-Usually, finding a good man is quite

-problematic, but look at this one.

-I like the casual shirt,

-stylish jacket...

-..and sensible shoes.

-You have to turn around for us

-to see your metrosexual bag.

-This is a wonderful floral bag and

-I like that it doesn't quite match.

-You deserve

-the best honour of the Maes.

-Thank you.

-It's a Huw Fash Sash.

-Look at her!

-It's another lovely sash...

-..to hand to the group

-that's won a Huw Fash Sash.

-Congratulations to you.

-This matches your sunglasses.

-Brill!

-The final Huw Fash Sash of the day

-at the Anglesey Eisteddfod...

-..has been awarded.

-Huw Fash Sash!

-Thanks, Huw,

-and I'm still waiting for my sash!

-We close with music by a singer from

-the home of this year's Eisteddfod.

-This is Steffan Lloyd Owen

-performing Gwynfyd.

-# O blessed realm of Paradise

-# O land of beauty and of peace

-# My soul led oft in secret cries

-# And seeks it far beyond the skies

-# And seeks it

-far beyond the skies #

-That was wonderful.

-Thanks to Steffan Lloyd Owen.

-That's all for today

-and for this summer.

-Bore Da returns to your screens

-in 1 October.

-Until then,

-keep practicing your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-but have plenty of fun too.

-Until October,

-a very good morning to you all.
