-Hello and welcome to Bore Da.

-We're already half way

-through November.

-The months are flying by.

-It's hard to believe that Christmas

-is just around the corner.

-On today's programme...

-..Daf Wyn is in Porthcawl...

-..to celebrate the life and work

-of the singer, Steve Strange.

-Llinos Lee visits the very unusual

-Clink restaurant in Cardiff.

-As the name suggests...

-..the restaurant is situated

-within a prison.

-We mark the birthday of one of the

-world's most famous board games.

-Happy birthday, Monopoly!

-I'll also chat

-to Professor Jerry Hunter.

-Jerry is originally from Cincinnati

-but he has learnt Welsh.

-He's now a fluent speaker

-who speaks the language every day.

-He's also won one of the

-National Eisteddfod's main prizes.

-Sit back, relax

-and enjoy the next hour.

-We start the programme

-in the seaside town of Porthcawl.

-The town is famous for putting on

-a special show every September...

-..to remember the 1960s

-rock and roll star, Elvis Presley.

-However, it was 1980s

-Electro music that was heard...

-..at the new festival

-for the New Romantics.

-Make-up has been applied,

-the hair has been styled...

-..and there's all sorts

-of outfits to be seen...

-..at the world's first New Romantics

-Festival here in Porthcawl.

-The aim of the festival

-was to take us back to the 1980s.

-The crows had gathered to remember

-one of the era's musical greats.

-The festival is about Steve Strange

-who passed away back in February.

-The media was very interested

-in Steve Strange's life.

-Therefore, we've decided to host

-this festival here in Porthcawl.

-Steve came from Porthcawl

-and lived here for 25 years.

-Following his death, we decided

-to host this festival in his memory.

-This is the first festival.

-The six acts we'll welcome

-are China Crisis, Visage...

-..Jenny Bellestars,

-The Circuit Symphony and Lowri-Ann.

-Lowri-Ann

-was one of Steve's close friends.

-I sang in Steve Strange's band,

-Visage.

-I knew him at the Blitz Club

-and I performed with him.

-The name of my group was Shock.

-I'll perform parts of my show,

-Whatever Happened to LaLa Shockette?

-It will be a little taster

-for the audience.

-I'm also performing songs from

-the 1980s and talking about the era.

-Tickets for the festival

-sold out in only 48 hours.

-People came to remember the Welshman

-and his synth-pop band, Visage.

-He wasn't just a singer.

-His experimental fashion

-was also revolutionary.

-I liked the musical shift...

-..that took place

-between the 1970s and 1980s.

-I also enjoyed

-the new freshness...

-..that was brought to

-outfits, make-up and images.

-It was a revolution...

-..which all started in a nightclub.

-Steve Strange

-was at the centre of the change.

-The trend spread to other nightclubs

-in London and all over the world.

-The music of the 1980s

-was innovative.

-The dance music that we all know

-was started in the 1980s.

-The interesting 1980s fashion

-could be seen during the festival.

-Unlike Strange's strict dress code

-at the Blitz Club in London...

-..where Mick Jagger

-was once refused entry...

-..everyone got to join in with this

-colourful and entertaining festival.

-The evening was amazing.

-We celebrated Steve Strange's life.

-It's been amazing,

-awesome and fantastic.

-Wow, the clothes looked great...

-..and the music sounded fantastic.

-One of Cardiff's restaurants

-recently reached...

-..the TripAdvisor's list

-of the Top 10 restaurants in the UK.

-The restaurant is called The Clink.

-As the name suggests, it has

-a close connection to the prison.

-I live on the outskirts

-of Cardiff...

-..and I've tried to get a table

-at The Clink for months.

-Today, I'm here to eat, enjoy...

-..and find out

-why the restaurant is so popular.

-The restaurant trains prisoners.

-The workers have come from

-a category D prison in Usk.

-When they come here, they have

-six to 18 months left to serve.

-We teach them in the kitchen

-and train front of house staff.

-It helps on their CVs

-and gives them some confidence.

-It also helps them to carry on

-with their lives and start again.

-I'm not one to eat alone

-so I invited Lowri Cooke to join me.

-Hello, welcome to The Clink.

-Lowri is a food critic and writes

-for Red Handed, Y Dinesydd and Barn.

-This is her first visit

-to The Clink.

-Lowri, thanks for meeting me

-for lunch, this afternoon.

-What do you know about The Clink?

-The Clink has been the place to eat

-in Cardiff for the past year.

-There's so much appeal

-to this restaurant.

-It's been so successful...

-..that I've failed to book a table

-to review the restaurant.

-Therefore,

-I'm grateful for this invite.

-It's an ambitious menu

-and everything is freshly prepared.

-The ingredients come from the

-Usk prison garden and a nearby farm.

-The head chef expects

-high standards from his workers.

-They're taught valuable skills

-to help them in the future.

-I've been working here

-for eleven months and it's amazing.

-I'm learning how to cook.

-It's changed my life...

-..and made me realize I can do legal

-things instead of illegal things.

-After pondering the menu...

-..Lowri chose an autumnal salad

-whilst I had brie.

-I had a wonderful and fresh

-autumnal salad to start.

-I had perfectly-prepared venison...

-..which was pink in the middle

-and melted in the mouth.

-There's always room for pudding.

-We had a plum and rhubarb tart and

-chocolate tart with peanut butter.

-It's a feast for the eyes as

-the dishes were like works of art.

-It was also a feast for the senses

-and a great experience.

-There's a pleasant atmosphere

-and the decor is swish.

-It's contemporary, warm

-and the welcome is fantastic.

-Our customers are talking about

-the restaurant on TripAdvisor.

-We have over 500 five star reviews

-which is fantastic.

-People are always

-leaving wonderful reviews.

-It helps the workers

-as it gives them added courage.

-The prices aren't cheap but it's

-a reflection of the quality of food.

-This restaurant deserves to be named

-among the best eateries in Wales.

-It's been 80 years to this month...

-..since the board game, Monopoly

-reached our shelves.

-The game remains to be one of

-the world's most famous board games.

-To celebrate this milestone...

-..Heno went to celebrate

-with fans of all generations.

-We can trace the history of

-the famous board game, Monopoly...

-..to the early 20th century

-in the United States of America.

-The rights to produce

-the board game were purchased...

-..by the Parker brothers

-from Massachusetts in 1935.

-That's when they started the process

-of making it a worldwide brand.

-As a family,

-we love to play Monopoly.

-We play a game every week.

-Who's the best at Monopoly?

-Who's the best at Monopoly?

-

-I am!

-The whole family is competitive.

-When I was younger,

-she would always win...

-..but now I win much more.

-No!

-There's some cheating!

-We all love to win at Monopoly...

-..and don't want to be

-the first out.

-Do you cheat?

-Do you cheat?

-

-Molly cheats.

-No!

-In 1989,

-video games were being made...

-..and by 1994,

-computer games became popular.

-At one time, I even had

-a digital version on my phone.

-However, I had to delete it

-as I spent too much time playing it.

-Different place names

-were devised for the Monopoly game.

-There's an Anglesey version

-that was recently produced.

-Do your parents argue when you play?

-Yes!

-Yes!

-

-Sometimes.

-Every time!

-Every time!

-

-No, only sometimes.

-William likes the game more than me.

-Perhaps that's because he

-shares his birthday with Monopoly.

-Today, he's eight years old

-whilst monopoly is 80.

-Happy birthday, Monopoly!

-Yes, happy birthday

-to Monopoly and William.

-That's all for this part

-of the programme.

-Later, I chat to

-Professor Jerry Hunter...

-..about his decision

-to move to Wales and learn Welsh.

-There's tips for styling a kitchen

-with our expert, Delyth Wilson.

-We also visit a special centre

-which changes lives in Bangor.

-Join me in a few minutes.

-I recently visited

-Bangor University...

-..to chat to the lecturer,

-Professor Jerry Hunter.

-Jerry is originally

-from Cincinnati in America.

-However, he's lived in Wales

-for many years.

-He's learnt Welsh and won one of the

-National Eisteddfod's main prizes.

-Jerry, you're originally

-from Cincinnati in America...

-..but you now live in Wales

-and speak Welsh fluently.

-Tell us your story.

-It's a long story because

-I've lived in Wales for many years.

-I originally visited in 1986

-to complete an MPhil in Welsh.

-My first degree was in English

-and I really enjoyed the literature.

-I learnt about Welsh literature

-and the wealth of work available.

-I travelled back and forth

-from Wales to America for a while.

-I got a job in Wales 20 years ago

-and I've lived here since.

-How has Welsh changed your life?

-Learning another language

-opens a door to another world.

-The Welsh language is very special

-as it's a minority language...

-..that's survived miraculously

-despite being next door to England.

-It's an eye opened to learn Welsh,

-learn about Welsh history...

-..and adapt to living

-in a Welsh community.

-What about your family life?

-Where do you live and how important

-is the Welsh language in the area?

-I've lived in Penygroes in the

-Nantlle Valley for many years.

-It's a very Welsh village

-where 90 percent speak the language.

-Welsh is the natural language

-of the village and the wider area.

-It's a great place to live...

-..as you can speak

-to nearly everyone in Welsh.

-It's a natural way to practise

-using the language in everyday life.

-You've also won several prizes

-at the National Eisteddfod.

-Tell us about the experience

-of winning at the Eisteddfod.

-I've won the Prose Medal

-at the National Eisteddfod.

-It was an incredible experience.

-To be honest, I'm not a Welshman...

-..despite being familiar with Wales,

-the language and its culture.

-I love Welsh literature

-and the Eisteddfod culture.

-The Welsh can be a little crazy

-about competing!

-They're always competing and

-everything turns into a competition!

-Everyone has to compete on stage.

-There are lots of competition that

-take place during an Eisteddfod.

-I wasn't sure

-if I wanted to compete or not.

-A few of my friends and my wife,

-Judith told me to compete.

-In the end, I agreed to compete...

-..and I was fortunate to win.

-Winning

-was an incredible experience.

-I stepped on stage where there

-was so much hustle and bustle...

-..as it was one of the main

-competitions of the Eisteddfod.

-There was dancing, singing,

-a harp and an organ.

-There's so much to draw

-your attention...

-..when you're sat there

-under the stage spotlights.

-It's an unforgettable experience.

-What advise do you have...

-..for those trying to learn Welsh?

-It was difficult work but it's

-difficult to learn any language.

-There are a few essential qualities

-that you need.

-It's important that you have motive

-and that you want to learn.

-You should take it seriously

-and give yourself enough time.

-When you're learning Welsh,

-it's vital to remember...

-..that language

-is a living social phenomenon.

-A language is only alive

-when you speak it.

-It's fine to attend lessons,

-learn grammar lessons...

-..build a vocabulary and read...

-..but it's also important

-to use the language.

-Learners are sometimes scared

-of using the language in public.

-Therefore, it's vital that learners

-find opportunities...

-..where they can use the language

-and use what they've learnt.

-They should find fluent Welsh

-speakers that are willing to help.

-It's vital to use the language.

-It's only when you use a language

-that you become fluent.

-It was great to meet

-Professor Jerry Hunter.

-His story is an inspiration

-to us all.

-Next, we have tips

-on how to style your kitchen...

-..with the Prynhawn Da interior

-style expert, Delyth Wilson.

-We've got three different

-kitchen styles.

-There's a white, wooden

-and black kitchen.

-Grey is the new black in interiors.

-Let's start with the white kitchen.

-I've chosen a retro look with

-a 1950s feel and some retro florals.

-These fabrics bring out

-the blue colour in the jar.

-These colourful fabrics

-are from a collection at Leekes.

-They lift the spirit.

-There's a biscuit tin

-and it costs 15 from Leekes.

-You can continue with the theme

-by adding some important lighting.

-There's a lampshade

-from Habitat at Homebase.

-It costs 24.99.

-It adds a homely texture

-to your kitchen.

-It's a light colour.

-You can buy all sorts of gadgets

-like the kettle and wash bowl...

-..in matching colours.

-The blue colours are popular

-in the majority of homeware shops.

-The kettle comes from Dunelm

-and it costs 29.99.

-There's a toaster that matches

-the kettle perfectly.

-These have a retro 1950s feel.

-If you have a natural wood kitchen,

-you have even more ideas.

-Blue is also suitable

-in wooden kitchens.

-However, you should opt

-for a more royal blue.

-It's very cheap to replace

-a few kitchen tiles.

-It can be a bother but

-it's very cheap to replace tiles.

-These blue tiles are five pence each

-from Leekes.

-They're very reasonably priced.

-You can add warmth...

-..by introducing

-a mustard yellow colour.

-This brings warmth to the kitchen

-at this time of the year.

-It's an old-fashioned colour.

-The colour of the 1950s

-are coming back into fashion.

-They're soft colours

-and you won't tire of them.

-You even have a matching lampshade.

-I'll talk about that later.

-I have more objects

-of the same colour.

-You can introduce more yellow tones

-and bring in some texture.

-The collection from Leekes could

-also be used in a wooden kitchen.

-You can change the accessories

-whenever you want.

-When you have a black

-minimalist kitchen...

-..be careful

-when you introduce colour.

-Don't overload your black kitchen

-with too many red objects.

-It could look overdone.

-Choose your accessories carefully

-and spend more on individual items.

-The biggest item in our red kitchen

-is the large bowl.

-It's a great display item

-on your island unit.

-It's always great to have something

-oversized in a room.

-Would you use it as a fruit bowl?

-You could fill it with anything

-you want, even a flower pot.

-If you host a party,

-it could be used as an ice bucket.

-If would make a great salad bowl

-that could be used during a party.

-You would have to be a fan of salad

-to have a bowl this size!

-It could hold fruit salad,

-fruit or anything you desire.

-There's also some copper and wood

-which bring warmth to a kitchen.

-The wooden chopping board

-comes from Habitat.

-Wood brings warmth

-to black and grey kitchens.

-However, you must opt

-for the right shade of wood.

-The walnut works well

-with the copper to warm up a room.

-They look great together.

-When you use

-chrome and red accessories...

-..they always work well together.

-Don't forget about

-the lighting in a kitchen.

-We have some shades from Dunelm

-which cost 7.99.

-They come in a variety of colours

-including red and black.

-It doesn't cost too much to

-introduce three shades in a room.

-They could be placed above

-a dining table or kitchen island.

-Replacing a kitchen

-can be very expensive.

-However, it doesn't cost much

-to buy new accessories.

-There's so much variety available

-in the shops nowadays.

-You should buy new accessories

-to improve this important room.

-Thank you, Delyth.

-There were some

-very handy ideas there.

-The Abbey Road Centre in Bangor...

-..is an important centre

-in the community.

-The centre

-offers a drop-in service...

-..for the city's most

-vulnerable residents.

-The centre recently celebrated

-a very special birthday.

-The Heno cameras were

-at the celebrations.

-This year, Abbey Road Centre

-is celebrating 30 years...

-We're marking the milestone

-with an open day.

-We're a mental health centre

-that deals with the homeless...

-..alcohol and drug addicts and those

-diagnosed with mental health issues.

-This drop in centre welcomes

-between 30 and 50 people a day.

-We support them by arranging

-a variety of different activities.

-I'm a therapist...

-..and I offer Indian head massage

-and hand reflexology.

-These popular therapies clear

-the mind and boosts energy levels.

-After the therapy,

-they tend to feel much better.

-Since January, we've held cooking

-sessions where everyone helps.

-Many are homeless or live alone so

-it's important that they socialize.

-We welcome around 20 to 30

-individuals every Friday.

-I've dealt with my own

-mental health issues for ten years.

-At this time last year,

-I wouldn't even leave the house.

-I was thrilled to hear of the work

-of the Abbey Road Centre.

-I get to help other individuals

-which increases my confidence.

-I know the story from both sides...

-..and I can help and sympathize

-by chatting to them.

-There are many

-frail individuals out there.

-Bangor has nothing to help them...

-..so they truly rely on this centre

-for somewhere to go every day.

-We want to make the community aware

-of what we do at the centre.

-This is a lifeline for many people

-and I'm happy to be a part of it.

-That's all for this part

-but after the break...

-..Llinos Lee meets a girl from

-Warrington who's moved to Wales.

-Since arriving in Cardiff...

-..Sarah Harrison has established

-a handmade handbag business.

-She's also learnt Welsh.

-There's homemade rice pudding

-on the Prynhawn Da menu.

-You could also win an iPad

-in our photography competition.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Next, we hear about a new business.

-The owner of the business

-moved from Warrington to Cardiff...

-..and she's decided to learn Welsh.

-Here's the story of Sarah Harrison

-and her handbag business.

-When the Prynhawn Da crew asked me

-to meet a handbag designer...

-..I jumped at the chance.

-There's an interesting story

-to how these bags came to Wales.

-I trained at London's Guild Hall

-School of Music and Drama.

-I studied Stage Management

-and Technical Theatre.

-After graduating, I worked as

-a costume designer at Theatr Clwyd.

-I now live in Cardiff.

-Why did you decide to start

-a business making handbags?

-Last year, I fell of a camel in

-Dubai and couldn't return to work.

-Therefore, I started making bags

-as a sideline project...

-..and I received lots of orders.

-Sarah is originally from Warrington.

-She now makes all sorts of bags

-from her studio at home.

-I wanted the bags to be simple

-and appeal to people of all ages.

-I started making totes

-and progressed from there.

-Every bag is made by hand

-so they're all unique.

-It's also possible to commission

-a special handbag from Sarah.

-My customers can design

-their own bags.

-They can choose the colours

-of the handbag lining.

-You're from the North of England

-but have a bilingual company.

-I'm learning to speak Welsh

-as I always hear the language.

-It's also good for business.

-How is your business going, so far?

-I've been selling my bags

-for six months.

-They're available from shops

-all over Wales.

-A stockist of the Loveli bags

-is Kiti in Pontcanna, Cardiff.

-I'm proud to sell the Loveli bags...

-..and we've had

-a fantastic response.

-They're suitable

-for people of all ages.

-Young girls love the bright colours

-and she also has muted colours.

-She makes three different styles.

-There's a tote shoulder bag,

-a clutch and small purse.

-They're all very popular.

-I'm glad that I can support

-a young woman...

-..who's just starting out

-with a new venture.

-What's next for the company?

-In the future, I hope to grow my

-business and introduce new designs.

-The business and her Welsh language

-classes are keeping Sarah busy.

-More and more Welsh shops

-want to stock her bags...

-..so the future of her business

-promises to be "Loveli."

-Llinos Lee enjoyed herself

-amongst those handbags!

-Next, we head to the kitchen...

-..where one of my favourite deserts,

-rice pudding is on the menu.

-As a child, one of my favourite

-deserts was a rice pudding...

-..made by my grandmother

-from Llanrhystud.

-It was a simple recipe

-but it tasted like perfection.

-It was always served

-after Sunday lunch.

-We'd have it with some homemade jam.

-Are you using that recipe today?

-Are you using that recipe today?

-

-Yes, that's right.

-She measured 175ml of rice in a jug.

-She never weighed anything.

-Pour the rice into a bowl

-with 40 grams of caster sugar.

-She would've used a handful

-rather than weigh the sugar.

-I'm using 800ml of milk too.

-Just wait until you see

-the next ingredients!

-Use an entire tin

-of evaporated milk.

-That's an old-fashioned ingredient!

-That's why I enjoy using it.

-However, an increasing amount of

-chefs are using the old ingredients.

-They're used to create an

-old-fashioned and luxurious taste.

-Some people like to add vanilla

-to a rice pudding...

-..as it's quite

-a fashionable ingredient.

-However, the best flavour to add

-is nutmeg.

-I've got some whole nutmegs.

-You can take a look at them.

-What do you do with the nutmeg?

-I'll grate them over the pudding.

-I thought that you cracked them!

-You should grate a whole nutmeg

-into the pudding.

-That's quite a lot.

-When you're half way through

-the baking process...

-..I mix the pudding which spreads

-the flavour through the rice.

-You end up with a nutmeg crust

-which is golden brown.

-There's flavour in every part

-and not just on the top.

-When I grate food,

-I'm always scared for my fingers.

-I have to concentrate

-when I reach this point!

-It would be easier

-with a smaller grater...

-..but I couldn't find it,

-this morning.

-After grating the nutmeg,

-you could add even more luxury...

-..by adding 25 grams of butter.

-This creates a velvety pudding...

-..which is much more luxurious.

-It brings a wonderful flavour

-to the pudding.

-Many years ago, people would cook

-for a large family.

-When preparing a Sunday roast,

-the meat would be in the oven...

-..whilst the rice pudding

-would be baked on the bottom shelf.

-That's how my grandmother

-used her Aga or Rayburn cooker.

-Sometimes, she would

-effortlessly cook for twelve people.

-Sometimes, it's easier to cook

-for lots of people in a single pot.

-Ooh!

-Here is the finished pudding.

-Place it in the oven for two hours

-at 150 degrees Celsius.

-Thank you, Paj.

-It looked very tasty.

-Don't forget that you can find

-our recipes at www.heno.tv

-Next, we have a competition for you.

-You could win an iPad

-so here are the details.

-It's a new season so it's time for

-our new photography competition.

-We'd like to see the autumn

-through your eyes.

-Don't worry if you don't have

-a professional camera.

-We welcome photographs from mobile

-phones, tablets or film cameras.

-The winner gets

-an iPad or television.

-He's launching his autobiography...

-..at the club where

-his journey started, Maindy Flyers.

-The track was red 20 years ago

-but it's been resurfaced.

-There are hundreds of kids here.

-I've released a book

-and won lots of medals.

-It's unbelievable

-and definitely surreal.

-What's it like

-to welcome Geraint to Maindy?

-It's fantastic

-because he's a fantastic cyclist.

-I'm very excited so see someone

-who's made it in the cycling world.

-He's successful...

-..and an inspiration for everyone

-to get involved in cycling.

-It's great to welcome Geraint.

-The last time he was here, he'd

-just returned from the Commonwealth.

-He came back here

-before visiting his family.

-This club means lots to him.

-The club has grown considerably

-since the mid-1990s.

-It's produced big names

-like Nicole Cooke, Luke Rowe...

-..Owain Doull and Elinor Barker.

-However, the favourite

-among the children is Geraint.

-The children have been talking

-about his visit for days.

-He started out at this club and

-it's really encouraging for them.

-He's fantastic with the children

-and he enjoys talking to them.

-He answers their questions

-with a smile so he's brilliant.

-The book is easy to read

-and full of interesting stories.

-It gives a glimpse into the life

-of a professional cyclists.

-It also reveals more about stars

-like Chris Froome or Mark Cavendish.

-I enjoyed it more

-than I thought I would.

-I was reminiscing and thinking of my

-times at the Academy and growing up.

-It was a lot of work but

-I enjoyed it and I'm proud of it.

-When people Tweet me saying how much

-they enjoy it, it's a weird feeling.

-Following a training session

-and book signing at Maindy...

-..the star went on to a jam-packed

-book signing in Cardiff city centre.

-Judging by the size of the queue...

-..you would think that Catherine

-Zeta-Jones or Tom Jones was here.

-This goes to show how cycling has

-grown in popularity in recent years.

-That's thanks to the efforts

-of boys like Geraint Thomas.

-In the last year,

-he's shown his strength.

-He's also become quite a character

-within the sport.

-How long have you been queuing

-to see Geraint?

-We've been here for half an hour.

-He's just arrived so we're sure

-the queue will start moving soon.

-How do you feel

-about meeting your hero?

-I'm excited as he's done well at

-the Tour de France and other events.

-It's great to meet a famous figure

-in the world of cycling.

-I'm sure he'll inspire

-your son, Owain.

-He watching him during

-the Tour de France.

-It's great to know

-that a boy from the Maindy Flyers...

-..can be one of the top ten

-cyclists in the world.

-It's a fantastic experience...

-..to meet someone like him.

-You wouldn't expect

-to meet him in a book shop.

-The book is full of identifiable

-experiences for other cyclist.

-It will appeal to novices

-and keen cyclists.

-As Geraint turns his sights to

-a difficult winter of training...

-..why don't you read a book

-about one of our national heroes?

-We head from the sporting world

-to fashion.

-Here are Huw's latest fashion tips.

-It's possible to wear

-a large jumper over clothes.

-This is exactly what we've done

-with Nan.

-The jumper is very striking due

-to the way they've used the colour.

-Different coloured wool

-has been used to create this jumper.

-A pattern like this

-is created by accident.

-This piece hasn't been designed

-to look like this.

-If you go to a shop

-and try on a size 12...

-..but would prefer the size 14,

-the pattern will not be the same.

-I think this works perfectly

-due the polo neck.

-It's just thick enough

-to keep its shape.

-This season's jumpers

-tend to have a longer back.

-This can be seen in this jumper.

-If Nan could turn to the side...

-..you can see

-the two different lengths.

-Asymmetric items are very popular.

-You need to consider what you wear

-under these jumpers...

-..as wool can irritate.

-I used to hate wearing

-woolly jumpers as a child.

-You could wear a simple

-long-sleeve t-shirt underneath.

-There isn't a lot of natural wool

-in this jumper.

-Only around 18% of this jumper

-is made from real wool...

-..which means this

-won't irritate or be as hot.

-What other materials

-are in this jumper?

-Rayons, polyamides are all man-made

-fibres found in these jumpers.

-The developments within

-this field are fantastic...

-..and you don't even see the

-difference between leather and faux.

-If you count the pennies,

-buy an item like this.

-But there's nothing like

-a 100% natural wool jumper.

-They will also keep for longer.

-We've teamed this jumper

-with wide leg grey trousers.

-The heel on these boots

-are sensible.

-To complete the outfit, we've teamed

-it with a black leather handbag.

-Next, we have Emily.

-We go from a grey jumper

-to a grey jacket.

-Let's discuss what you mentioned

-earlier Yvonne - the longer back.

-We have an asymmetric

-top under this jacket.

-Asymmetric means that one side of

-the top is shorter than the other.

-This could either be across the

-body, behind or even in front...

-..where one side of the hemline

-isn't the same as the other.

-I like to team a top like this

-with layers.

-This simple garment is the

-main element of this outfit.

-Emily, could you remove the jacket?

-There's a certain Greek or

-toga style to the cut of this top.

-You could wear it

-with the belt Emily has on...

-..or you could team it

-with a tan bag, belt and bag.

-Don't be scared to remove the

-accessories on these garments.

-You might have a nicer belt at home.

-We're sometimes too scared to

-change things, but that's fashion.

-The fun is trying different things.

-I'm shocked to see

-the white trousers for the winter.

-These are white trousers

-and not a winter white.

-Winter white garments usually have

-a touch of cream in the colour.

-However, these are a bright white.

-Next, we have Sian.

-She's wearing a no-nonsense dress.

-I have to admit that I had

-teamed this dress with a shawl.

-We removed it, but the price

-can still be seen on the screen.

-This dress is striking but simple.

-However, it may not look as good

-as you sometimes imagine it to be.

-We've removed the wrap,

-but we've kept the simple dress.

-If we could concentrate

-on the sleeve for a moment.

-The cut of the sleeve sits

-where a tailored sleeve would sit.

-This dress is oversized but it sits

-perfectly on the shoulders.

-It hangs perfectly.

-Yes, it hangs

-on the pressure points...

-..or where the weight

-of the material is pulled.

-You could team this outfit

-with any accessories.

-We've kept this simple with

-a black bag and long flat boots.

-When Sian sits down, the long boots

-cover the leg up to the knee.

-Thank you, Huw.

-My fashion knowledge

-has improved once again.

-I'm glad to hear it!

-That's all for today's programme.

-You can watch today's items again

-on S4C Clic or BBC iPlayer.

-Until the same time next week...

-..keep practising your Welsh.

-It's important to venture

-and have fun whilst doing so.

-Thanks for your company

-and good morning to you all.
