-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on the final weekend of November.

-Christmas is around the corner...

-..and there's only 26 sleeps

-until the big day!

-But forget about the Christmas rush

-over the next hour.

-This is what we've got for you

-between now and 11.30am.

-Rhodri Gomer chats to the

-world-famous boxer, Joe Calzaghe.

-We visit Winter Wonderland

-in Cardiff.

-Elin Fflur drops in

-to a new centre in Bangor.

-Canolfan Celfyddydau Pontio

-or Pontio Arts Centre.

-I'm also served a feast

-at a special event...

-..at Ysgol Y Creuddyn, Llandudno.

-Sit back, relax and enjoy Bore Da.

-We start on the red carpet...

-..with the world-famous boxer,

-Joe Calzaghe.

-A film about his life

-has hit the cinemas.

-Our cameras were at the premiere.

-His incredible professional career

-spanned 15 years.

-Joe Calzaghe won every one of his

-46 professional boxing matches.

-It's an incredible record

-to go with his incredible story...

-..that's been recreated

-in a special documentary film.

-It was his choice to be a boxer,

-not me.

-He knew himself how good he was.

-Boxing was my way of escaping

-and having self-worth.

-Introducing the fighting pride

-of Newbridge, Wales...

-..Joe Calzaghe.

-Joe, or for the purpose

-of tonight's chat, Mr Calzaghe...

-..it's been an incredible career

-so what's it been like reliving it?

-It's been pretty surreal

-to be honest.

-It's been two years in the making

-and I'm happy that I've done this.

-I've reflected

-on my boxing career...

-..and listened to my kids

-and family.

-You can see on the screen...

-..the special relationship with

-my family and especially my Dad.

-The story is about Joe

-and his career.

-However, we also follow

-his relationship with his father.

-Their close bond is apparent

-throughout the film.

-This film isn't just about boxing,

-it's about family too.

-My father is the one who

-motivated me when I was a teenager.

-When I wanted to quit

-and do other things...

-..he was the one who gave me

-the push I needed.

-Sometimes, we would fall out and

-we were like an old married couple.

-We'd argue and make up constantly

-because he's an Italian.

-He was the right trainer for me.

-He knew how to get to me and how to

-motivate me, what to say and when.

-Lovely right uppercut.

-It's all Calzaghe at the moment

-but there's a long way to go.

-A little contentious smile

-from Calzaghe.

-I can remember describing Calzaghe

-as a promising star...

-..even before he stepped into

-the ring professionally in 1993.

-He'd been an amateur boxer...

-..and won three ABA Championships in

-three different weight categories...

-..within three years.

-He fought against Chris Eubank...

-..to win a WBO title

-in his eighth bout.

-We had to wait...

-..until he went on to

-win the IBF, WBA and WBC titles.

-We remember the previous

-Welsh boxing heroes...

-..such as 'Peerless' Jim Driscoll,

-Jimmy Wilde...

-..and those closer to my age

-like Tommy Farr...

-..who followed Howard Winstone

-and Colin Jones.

-However, it's only Joe

-that has a pristine record.

-Therefore, he's the best every boxer

-to have come from Wales.

-The film won't just appeal

-to a sports fan, but to anybody.

-It's an underdog story, a real life

-Rocky story, except I don't lose!

-It looks like an amazing film.

-Go and see it.

-Have you bought

-your Christmas jumper yet?

-There's a special day

-on 18 December...

-..that encourages you

-to wear a Christmas jumper...

-..in aid of Save The Children.

-The shops are full of colourful

-and humorous knits.

-Daf Wyn has a few suggestions.

-Christmas is just around the corner.

-It's turned chilly so we need

-something thick and warm...

-..but something isn't quite right.

-That's better!

-The festive jumpers

-are back once again...

-..and there's plenty of them.

-There are many just like me

-who love wearing them.

-We've come to showcase them

-at Cardiff's Winter Wonderland.

-I like wearing Christmas jumpers.

-This jumper has a sheep

-and reminds me of the family farm.

-I've got a large collection

-of jumpers.

-The one I'm wearing

-reminds me of Father Christmas...

-..and I'll wear it on Christmas Day.

-In the build up to Christmas,

-I'll wear one with a reindeer...

-..another with a snowman and I've

-even got one with a Welsh dragon.

-I enjoy wearing these jumpers,

-especially if they have attachments.

-They are fun and get you

-into the Christmas spirit.

-In my family, I'm the only one

-who doesn't like sprouts.

-I saw this jumper and had to buy it

-as it's quite ironic.

-I like wearing them.

-It's better when you're with friends

-and everyone is wearing a jumper.

-The jumpers are a mixture

-of the 2014 and 2015 collections...

-..from the high street.

-Some of these jumpers light up

-and have interesting designs...

-..but they'll also keep you warm

-wherever you go.

-There's no longer any shame

-when we embrace the most absurd.

-At Christmas,

-it's a case of anything goes.

-People wear silly jumpers

-and it makes others laugh.

-The jumpers could be a

-Christmas colour or Christmas theme.

-It's just important

-to get into the festive spirit.

-They are more popular

-because we're promoting them.

-You enjoy them.

-You enjoy them.

-

-Yes, too much!

-I'd like to take this one home

-so I can wear it on Christmas Day.

-You should have fun at Christmas

-so I wear an array of jumpers.

-Do you enjoy the jumpers?

-Do you enjoy the jumpers?

-

-Yes, I enjoy the jumpers.

-There's plenty of Christmas jumpers

-on the high street...

-..so go out and buy one.

-We're saying Merry Christmas

-in November!

-Cheers!

-Cheers!

-

-Cheers!

-Merry Christmas to you too, Daf!

-Everyone has heard about

-the Eurovision Competition.

-But have you heard of a

-special Eurovision Competition...

-..for young people?

-The event was held in Bulgaria

-last weekend.

-Our researcher, Glen Bartlett

-was at the event.

-Hello, I'm in Sofia, Bulgaria...

-..for the world's biggest

-music competition for children.

-It isn't the Urdd Eisteddfod but the

-2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

-There were representatives from

-17 countries but only one winner.

-Let's see a clip

-of the winning song.

-# Take away the rhythm

-# They can take away the gold

-# But they can never take aw-a-ay

-# No they can never

-take away my soul

-# No, no, no, not my soul

-# No, no, no, not my soul

-# No, no, no, not my soul

-# No, no, no, not my soul #

-Unfortunately,

-it's all over in Sofia...

-..so back to you in the studio.

-Thank you, Glen

-and congratulations to Malta.

-Next, our Calendar features

-a special event at Nottingham.

-Today, there's a coffee morning

-for Welsh speakers at Viv's house.

-But in December...

-..we'll hold a coffee morning

-at Catherine and Sam's house.

-Welcome to Nottingham!

-Call in if you're in the area!

-That's it for part one.

-In the second part

-of the programme...

-..I fill my belly in an event

-at Ysgol Y Creuddyn, Llandudno.

-Elin Fflur visits

-a brand-new centre.

-Paj Jones prepares a meal

-that doesn't cost a penny.

-Don't go far!

-Welcome back.

-Recently,

-I was invited to Ysgol Y Creuddyn...

-..not for a lesson,

-but to feast in the canteen.

-It's 6.00pm on Wednesday evening.

-The doors of Ysgol Y Creuddyn

-would normally be closed now.

-But tonight

-the pupils have stayed late...

-..and invited a host of people

-to a very special evening.

-Tonight is a celebration.

-We're celebrating the opening

-of a new school canteen.

-It's also a chance for the pupils

-to lead the evening...

-..by serving a three-course meal

-to people in the community.

-They've cooked the food

-and made the preparations.

-It's all locally sourced...

-..and kindly donated

-by our food caterers.

-Why is it important for the school

-to open up to the community?

-We wanted to welcome parents,

-friends and local residents.

-They're able to see

-what happens behind the scenes...

-..not only at concerts

-and sporting events...

-..but at tonight's food event

-that promotes healthy eating.

-It's also a chance for them to see

-the pupils in a different light.

-What did the workers

-think about this activity?

-It's great to have

-experiences with food...

-..and teach young children

-about different types of food.

-It also keeps everyone healthy.

-What's on the menu tonight?

-We're serving meat

-with vegetables and potatoes.

-There's also lasagne.

-We also offer a fish pate.

-Who has compiled this menu?

-I think the dinner ladies did it.

-It's their menu

-so they're also using it tonight.

-Customer feedback is important.

-And as they say,

-the proof is in the pudding.

-This food is fantastic.

-This is lovely.

-It's important for everyone

-to come together...

-..and eat health and tasty food.

-I'll take any leftovers home!

-We've don't have a chance

-to dine with friends...

-..but I'm glad we came.

-Ten out of ten. It's great.

-How's it going, Seren?

-How's it going, Seren?

-

-It's fine but I've got to go.

-OK.

-Everyone is rushed off their feet.

-It's been a wonderful evening

-and everyone has enjoyed.

-Our thanks to the pupils,

-the kitchen staff's help...

-..and everyone

-who turned up and enjoyed.

-It's been a very successful evening

-and well done to Ysgol Y Creuddyn.

-Enjoy.

-Enjoy.

-

-Thank you very much!

-Mmm! Ten out of ten.

-Thanks to the school

-for the welcome.

-I thoroughly enjoyed!

-A brand-new centre

-is set to open its doors...

-..on the campus

-of Bangor University.

-It cost 50 million to build.

-The centre will be called Pontio.

-As the name suggests...

-..its purpose is to bridge the gap

-between the university and the city.

-It hasn't officially opened yet...

-..but here's a preview.

-In 2012, work started on the

-demolition of Theatr Gwynedd...

-..to make room for a new

-arts and innovation centre.

-A year ago, I visited the site with

-the world-famous singer Bryn Terfel.

-The new theatre takes his name.

-# I'll send an angel

-to protect you tonight

-# I'll send an angel

-to console you #

-The building site has become

-a striking home for the arts.

-The Pontio Centre is a building

-that contains an array of elements.

-It's part of the university

-with excellent lecture halls...

-..offices for the Students' Union,

-a cafe, bar and so on.

-There's also spaces for the public

-to enjoy the arts.

-It bridges the gap

-between the university...

-..and the city of Bangor.

-It's wonderful that the building

-is finally open.

-I can't wait to see

-the students and public...

-..use the site every day.

-It's a massive six-storey building

-with two theatres...

-..lecture halls, innovation centres,

-a bar and restaurant.

-It's a proud moment for those

-involved in all the hard work.

-It's been interesting...

-..but I'm delighted

-to see the end result.

-It's taken a while

-but I'm happy with the way it looks.

-The Memorial Arch and old university

-building are both listed...

-..so this is a conservation area...

-..but we wanted a modern

-and exciting building.

-It's wonderful to see the way

-it bridges the old and the new.

-We wanted to bridge the gap between

-the city and the university...

-..and Deiniol Road

-and the old university building.

-We must remember the young people

-who will use the building...

-..to learn, enjoy and discuss.

-Yes, this is the new home

-of the Students' Union.

-We can't wait

-for the centre to open...

-..because the students will have

-a union in the centre of Bangor.

-It's easy to visit and easier for us

-to campaign for our students.

-Pontio will attract new students

-thanks to its amazing facilities.

-We're in talks about using the site

-for various guest performers.

-It'll be very exciting

-for new students.

-I love being on stage...

-..so had to see the finished

-Bryn Terfel Theatre...

-..and I wasn't disappointed.

-It's a versatile theatre that

-looks like a traditional theatre...

-..but it can change its form...

-..so the audience surround

-the stage.

-The floor can be flattened for a gig

-for students and young people...

-..so it has real scope

-and offers something for everyone.

-It's important to appeal

-to a varied audience.

-Bangor has students, young people

-and the older generation.

-It's also for those who don't

-normally visit the theatre...

-..but it's important

-to appeal to them too.

-I think it's been worth the wait

-to have the opening of Pontio.

-It looks amazing

-and good luck to you.

-Thank you and we can't wait

-to have you on the stage.

-I'm excited too

-but I won't be dancing like that!

-Good luck to the centre.

-Have you foraged...

-..or searched for ingredients

-out in the open...

-..to prepare a meal for free?

-Prynhawn Da chef, Paj Jones

-did exactly this last week...

-..and the results were delicious!

-Foraging is great and I've come to

-some woodlands in Cardiff to do it.

-Everybody can go foraging.

-It's free and all you need is a bowl

-and you can go foraging.

-Let's go and see what we can find.

-I've found a great spot for

-picking blackberries near the river.

-Blackberries are everywhere,

-in both rural and urban areas.

-I pick the ones from the higher

-branches as dogs walk on this path.

-Make sure you wash them

-before using them.

-I'm at a quiet spot

-along the river...

-..and found some watercress.

-I can tell that it's watercress

-because of the thick stalk...

-..and when you take a bite...

-..it has a peppery flavour.

-It's delicious in a salad with

-pomegranate and goat's cheese...

-..or it's great in a soup

-for those cold days.

-I've had a successful morning.

-I've collected watercress

-and blackberries.

-Let's head back to the kitchen

-to see what I can create.

-It's very important to wash anything

-that you pick in the wild.

-I'm going to make some soup.

-I'm using one onion, two potatoes...

-..25g of butter

-and some chicken stock.

-And the soup is ready.

-Garnish it with a simple

-sprig of watercress and that's it.

-It's wild and tasty!

-Next, we'll make

-some blackberry jam.

-The blackberries have been washed

-as they were picked in the wild.

-There's a simple recipe for jam.

-You need the same amount of sugar

-as fruit.

-That's it.

-After twelve minutes...

-..the jam has reached setting point

-and is ready for the pots.

-The jars have been sterilized in

-boiling water and ready for the jam.

-The blackberry jam is ready

-for my breakfast tomorrow morning.

-Mmm! Very tasty.

-I've got a question for you.

-Have you bought or written

-your Christmas cards yet?

-You know

-when Christmas is looming...

-..when the Royal Mail

-issues its festive stamps.

-Father Christmas and Rudolph

-don't appear on the stamps...

-..but animals

-such as foxes and rabbits...

-..that boast fur and feathers.

-Someone who is delighted to see

-these animals having attention...

-..is 14-year-old Gruff

-from Bronant near Aberystwyth.

-He's gained success

-with showing chickens.

-My interest in keeping chickens...

-..started when I bought some

-chickens from Pontrhydfendigaid.

-I bought some before they were going

-to the slaughter.

-After this, I went to a local show

-in Talybont and it grew from there.

-I don't know why I started but

-it was just something for me to do.

-They have food

-and water every day...

-..and change the sawdust

-every other day.

-Gruff has been keeping chickens

-for three or four years.

-It's grown from there...

-..and he loves travelling

-around Wales and England.

-This year,

-I was named the juvenile champion...

-..at the Royal Welsh Show...

-..and in Pontargothi...

-..and the Cardigan Show.

-It's great to see the Fur and

-Feathers stamps by the Royal Mail.

-I don't think

-they've done it before.

-The Fur and Feathers stamps

-are great and quite unique.

-They look good and I'll buy them

-as soon as I go to the Post Office.

-Take a look at those stamps

-before opening your Christmas cards.

-That's it for now.

-In the next part...

-..Rhodri traces the history

-of Newport Rugby Club.

-Huw Fash also offers advice

-for the party season.

-See you in a couple of minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Next, we enter the world of rugby.

-Newport Rugby Club

-is celebrating 140 years.

-This milestone is being marked

-with a very special exhibition...

-..of the club's history

-at Newport city's museum.

-People tend to forget

-Newport Rugby Club.

-This was the first Welsh team

-to play an English team, Blackheath.

-It was also the first team

-to play under floodlights...

-..in a match against Cardiff

-in 1879.

-It also beat the big three

-of the touring teams...

-..namely South Africa,

-Australia and New Zealand.

-Simply put,

-Newport was one of Wales's legends.

-This exhibition celebrates

-140 years of rugby in Newport.

-Newport Rugby Club played its first

-game in 1875 against Glamorgan.

-Since then,

-the club has grown and grown...

-..until the days of regionalization.

-The town has the Dragons...

-..but this exhibition

-focuses on the Black and Ambers.

-In the 1960s, many from the Welsh

-Valleys came to watch Newport play.

-It was the team of Gwent.

-I'd come here with Dad

-in the 1960s...

-..and still support them

-with my son.

-We had the introduction

-of the Newport Gwent Dragons.

-Few know about the contribution

-of Newport...

-..and Rodney Parade to rugby.

-People can identify with Newport...

-..and support the city

-as opposed to the Dragons.

-They have always supported

-the Black and Ambers...

-..that represents the city.

-The club's history boasts the likes

-of David Watkins and Stuart Watkins.

-There's also Brian Price

-and Keith Jarrett.

-But if one name truly epitomizes

-the history of rugby in Newport...

-..then this is that man.

-Newport would say

-that Arthur Gould...

-..is the best player Wales has seen.

-He introduced

-the four three-quarter system.

-He had an excellent style of play

-that everyone acknowledged.

-Arthur Gould's death

-was reported across the world.

-Arthur Gould and the players

-who followed in his footsteps...

-..play on the pitch that was given

-to the club by Lord Tredegar.

-It was named after his brother.

-This is Rodney Parade, home of

-the Newport team since the 1870s.

-It boasts a tradition of producing

-international players...

-..and a new tradition

-of producing Welsh speaking players.

-I'm from Nelson but went to

-Ysgol Rhydywaun School in Aberdare.

-Gwent is in my blood, so that's why

-I came here to play rugby.

-The club has an incredible history

-and there a few places like Newport.

-We've beaten New Zealand,

-South Africa twice and Australia.

-It's a wonderful legacy...

-..and I'm delighted to have been

-with the club for so long.

-Andy has mentioned

-a few of the club's highlights...

-..but we must mention the pinnacle.

-It's the only way to end a tour

-and a wonderful exhibition.

-It has to be the game

-against New Zealand in 1963.

-Many have said

-it was the best team...

-..to have come out of New Zealand.

-They played over 30 games

-on their tour...

-..came to Newport

-with a test team...

-..and Newport was the only team

-to beat them on that tour.

-I'm very proud of that victory.

-Don't forget about

-this bilingual exhibition.

-It's free entry

-and runs until April.

-Next, we prepare for

-the Christmas party season...

-..with perfect tips from

-our fashion guru, Huw Fash.

-Chris's outfit is wonderful.

-It doesn't matter

-what age you are...

-..you can stay up-to-date

-with fashion...

-..and add a touch of glamour.

-You can also wear

-these garments again.

-You don't have to buy an outfit

-especially for a party.

-When you team items together,

-they can work perfectly.

-Don't buy new items as you may

-have an item in the wardrobe...

-..to team with a sparkly top.

-We start with this fur coat.

-My aim wasn't to showcase a fur coat

-but it works great with this look.

-It'll look perfect with

-a black jumper or polo neck.

-Once the weather gets colder

-and there's less rain...

-..you can wear it with

-jeans and black boots.

-You can wear it with

-a little black party dress.

-This look has a Sixties feel

-with a lurex jumper.

-Christine will slip off the coat.

-She's wearing a long-sleeve jumper.

-The thick black banding

-across the core area...

-..makes you look slimmer.

-I've teamed it with

-a leatherette or pvc skirt.

-It's similar to Nia's

-Marks and Spencer's skirt...

-..and is longer than

-your average skirt.

-This is a different way

-of wearing a skirt like this.

-We've glammed it up

-with some black tights...

-..and conservative heels.

-That is lovely.

-Next, we've had a fuss-free outfit.

-It's a jumpsuit from Monsoon.

-The cuffs are decorated

-with sparkly beads.

-It's sophisticated

-and won't fall out of fashion.

-Team it with a fur coat

-or a tailored jacket.

-It's 69 and very versatile.

-It's a jumpsuit with a great length.

-I'm referring to its body length.

-Our model is tall but the length

-of this garment is perfect.

-Wear it with some heels.

-I'm fond of jumpsuits...

-..but go to the toilet

-before you slip it on...

-..or take a friend

-who will help unzip you.

-There's only one button on this...

-..but it can be a bit fiddly!

-If your party is on a Saturday,

-have a practice run on the Friday!

-Make sure it's wearable

-when you're out and about.

-It's fuss-free and crease-free too.

-Our final model is Nia.

-I've kept this look very simple.

-You don't have to buy anything

-as it may all be in your wardrobe.

-This is a lurex jumper

-which is not covered in sequins.

-The fabric is fantastic and sparkly.

-There aren't any chunky bracelets

-or necklaces in sight!

-Keep it simple before

-we adorn any festive sparkles.

-To ensure some comfort...

-..I've matched it with

-brocade patterned leggings.

-I'd team leggings with a jumper

-and long blouse attached to it.

-The pattern on these leggings

-work perfectly with this look.

-It's a conservative look

-with a great bag and shoes.

-The fringe on the bag

-is a great touch.

-You don't need too much sparkles as

-something as retro as this can work.

-You expect sparkly fashion to be

-laden with diamonds and sequins...

-..but there isn't any in sight!

-This is your first Christmas

-on Prynhawn Da.

-There's five weeks of sparkles

-ahead of you!

-As long as

-I don't have to wear them!

-You can view today's items again

-on BBC iPlayer or Clic.

-It's time for a break.

-In the final part

-of the programme...

-..Rhodri Gomer enjoys

-at Winter Wonderland in Cardiff...

-..with Shane Williams.

-There's also floral displays

-that add a splash of colour.

-Go and make a quick cuppa

-and I'll see you two!

-Welcome back.

-One of Cardiff's biggest

-Christmas attractions...

-..is Winter Wonderland.

-Many flock there to skate...

-..have fun at the fairground,

-and sip some mulled wine!

-Rhodri Gomer from Heno

-was there on the opening night.

-He was joined by a special visitor.

-For over ten years...

-..the Cardiff Winter Wonderland

-has attracted a host of visitors...

-..and this year

-will be no exception.

-Following the success of the past...

-..over 300,000 people are expected

-on the site outside City Hall.

-I've been lucky enough to get

-an invite to its opening day.

-Everyone wants to go skating and

-it gets you into the Christmas mood.

-This year, we've got the ice rink,

-Alpine Village for dining...

-..and loads of attractions

-such as the helter skelter.

-The big wheel has proved to be

-very popular for many years.

-Standing the same height

-as three double-decker buses...

-..the 24 gondolas offer

-unique views of Cardiff.

-One of the new attractions this year

-are the ice sculptures...

-..that are kept in a room at a

-temperature of -8 degrees Celsius.

-They are certainly worth seeing.

-There's a sculpture

-of Shane Williams...

-..the Ball in the Wall...

-..and you can have your photo taken

-with Father Christmas.

-The organizers have invited

-a familiar face to the opening.

-How do you feel about seeing

-yourself in ice, Shane Williams?

-It's the first time that I've had

-an ice sculpture of myself.

-They've got it right as my ears

-are the right size...

-..but the legs are bigger!

-They've put in a lot of time,

-effort and money...

-..for this sculpture and the ones

-of Father Christmas and the trees.

-These are very special.

-I love Christmas

-and so do my wife and children.

-It's like being in the cryo chambers

-in Poland as it's freezing in here!

-It took 120 hours to carve twelve

-figures out of 40,000kg of ice.

-What did you enjoy most

-about the Ice Kingdom, Carter?

-The statues of Father Christmas

-and Daddy.

-Did you prefer Father Christmas

-or Dad?

-Dad.

-Dad.

-

-That's the right answer!

-It's growing every year and

-we're hoping for 60,000 skaters...

-..and 300,000 visitors

-to enjoy the rides and food.

-It's for the whole family

-and not just for the children.

-The Winter Wonderland is on the

-lawns of City Hall until 3 January.

-It's worth a visit

-if you're in the area.

-I'm ready for Christmas now!

-And cheers to you, Rhodri!

-Next, Kevin's got tips...

-..on adding a splash colour

-to your home...

-..during the autumn and winter...

-..with our florist, Kevin.

-Welcome. It's great to see you.

-You're adding a splash

-of colour to our homes.

-I want to show you

-this first arrangement.

-The weather for September

-and October has been splendid.

-It was even better than the summer!

-It's been lovely.

-The dry spell

-has brought sunshine...

-..but not a lot of wind and rain.

-As a result,

-the leaves are a spectacular colour.

-They also lasted

-until last night's blustery weather.

-Almost all of them

-have fallen to the ground.

-This arrangement reflects

-the latter period of the season.

-I've included some berries...

-..as well as some beech leaves...

-..and various autumnal flowers...

-..to capture

-the essence of the season.

-I had a bunch of flowers yesterday

-and it included these leaves.

-I thought it would be better

-to buy cheap flowers...

-..and fetch leaves from the garden,

-but it's not that simple!

-Leaves play an important role

-in our floral displays.

-It's great that you had leaves as

-some bouquets don't come with them.

-I could've chosen the wrong leaves.

-Maybe they wouldn't have matched

-but well done for considering it.

-The first arrangement

-bids farewell to the autumn.

-We've said goodbye to the autumn

-and remembered for tomorrow...

-..but the Christmas adverts

-are appearing on our screens now.

-They've started.

-They've started.

-

-Yes, indeed.

-For this next display...

-..I've taken inspiration

-from one particular shop.

-All these shops want our money

-at this time of year.

-They offer inspiration for gifts.

-I won't reveal the name of the shop.

-The viewers can guess the advert.

-It's meant to be out-of-this-world!

-When I'll see the advert,

-it'll shout out your name!

-You'll say,

-"Kevin, I remember you saying!"

-I'm also fond of white

-and green together.

-It looks incredibly striking.

-We've got lilies, senecio...

-..and some decorative

-plastic leaves.

-We've started to think

-about Christmas.

-Over the years...

-..people have invested in

-artificial Christmas trees.

-Some of them are quite expensive.

-Some of them are quite expensive.

-

-They're not cheap.

-They fold and push them into a box

-and banish them to the attic.

-In the coming weeks,

-it'll be time to bring the tree out.

-But it's become fashionable

-to swap your artificial tree...

-..for a real Christmas tree.

-But how can you transform

-an artificial tree into a real tree?

-It's simple!

-Pull your tree out the box

-and assemble all the branches.

-It never looks perfect!

-Then, position some

-eucalyptus leaves in the tree.

-The plant has a lovely aroma.

-I'll also add some red berries.

-I'll start by arranging the leaves.

-You can swap so-called baubles

-for leaves...

-..or maybe use both.

-I can smell the eucalyptus.

-It's lovely.

-It's made a huge difference

-to the tree.

-Position the eucalyptus

-among the branches.

-It'll transform something fake,

-artificial and plastic-looking...

-..into something that

-looks a lot more natural.

-We've just added the eucalyptus.

-The leaves are eye-catching

-and takes away the fakeness.

-I've also got some berries.

-You can purchase

-these style of berries in the shops.

-You can even collect them

-from the garden, Sian.

-Just in case you haven't noticed,

-I'm joined by Angharad today!

-I'm sorry.

-Sian normally

-presents the programme.

-Sian's at a Christmas fair today.

-She told me yesterday,

-so she's among the trees too!

-I'm fortunate to be here

-to learn how to do this.

-I'll also add

-some sparkly branches...

-..just to bring it alive.

-Thanks for the handy tips, Kevin!

-That's all from me this morning.

-I'll return at the same time

-next week...

-..on 6 December.

-2015 is flying by so quickly!

-Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

-Don't forget to practice your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-and have fun doing it!

-Good morning to you all.
