-Hello and welcome to Bore Da.

-There are only 12 days

-until Christmas Day.

-If you're fed up of shopping...

-..put your feet up and enjoy with us

-over the next hour.

-On today's programme:

-Llinos Lee searches for the

-perfect Christmas tree in Cowbridge.

-Rhodri Gomer chats with the

-rugby player, Jamie Roberts.

-Daf Wyn visits the Jewin Welsh

-Chapel Christmas concert in London.

-Alys Williams performs the S4C

-Christmas advert song, Un Seren.

-Welcome to Bore Da.

-There's an old tradition

-that claims...

-..you shouldn't put your Christmas

-tree up before 13 December.

-If you hope to buy a tree

-and decorations this afternoon...

-..then Rhodri Gomer and Llinos Lee

-have the perfect item for you.

-Our house has the perfect setup

-when it comes to the Christmas tree.

-I buy the tree whilst Carys

-and the children decorate it...

-..as I don't have

-a creative bone in my body!

-However, there's plenty of

-creativity and imagination...

-..to be seen from South Wales

-children at the Botanic Gardens.

-We've welcomed children

-from all over South Wales...

-..including Cardiff, Aberporth

-and Carmarthenshire.

-We host the competition to promote

-recycling and it's lots of fun.

-There's also a wonderful

-Christmas atmosphere.

-There are 14 schools competing...

-..and the standard is very high.

-I'm joined by Olivia and Nathan

-but which school do you come from?

-We're from Ysgol Aberporth school.

-You've travelled a long way

-to be here to decorate your tree.

-We'll be decorating the tree

-with robins...

-..and used cardboard and red paint

-to create them.

-We've used recycled material.

-Do you think that you've got

-a good chance of winning?

-Yes.

-Their time is up so whilst

-the judges do their work...

-..let's hear from Llinos who's been

-learning about how trees are grown.

-She also has tips on how to keep

-trees looking at their best.

-I'm not in Lapland...

-..but Cowbridge to help you find

-the perfect Christmas tree.

-Ty Cerrig Christmas tree farm is at

-the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan.

-Its seven acres

-is home to 16,000 tree.

-This family business has run

-since the first planting in 2006.

-We grow eight types of

-Christmas trees on the farm.

-They include the Norway spruce,

-Nordmann fir...

-..two types of pine trees,

-grand firs and blue spruces.

-The Nordmann fir

-is the most popular choice...

-..because it's a non-drop tree.

-However, the Norway spruce

-is a more traditional option.

-There are 16,000 trees here

-so you're spoilt for choice.

-It takes seven to eight years

-for a tree to grow to seven foot.

-This small tree

-was planted in March...

-..and won't be fully grown

-until 2023.

-Whilst at the farm, a delivery

-was made to a local village...

-..so a large, towering tree

-was cut down.

-Fortunately,

-we were available to assist Andrew.

-Yes, well... as they say,

-"Stick to the day job, Llin!"

-This is an eight-year-old

-Nordmann fir tree...

-..and it's among

-the most popular trees.

-If you purchase this tree from here

-it'll cost you around 50.

-Customers visit and choose a tree.

-We cut the tree down

-and they can take it home.

-Once at home,

-you must take care of the tree...

-..so it still looks fresh

-on the big day.

-Water the tree on a daily basis...

-..and keep it away from any heat.

-Having searched for many hours...

-..I've discovered my perfect tree.

-There's one thing left to do and

-that's to find my way out of here!

-I hope Llinos found her way home.

-The most important thing on

-a Christmas menu is the turkey.

-But do you know how to cook

-the perfect turkey?

-Here's Nerys Howells

-will her handy tips.

-Nerys is in the kitchen...

-..to prepare an important element of

-any Christmas lunch - the turkey.

-The turkey made a big bang earlier.

-The turkey made a big bang earlier.

-

-Yes, it was the turkey.

-I'm going to start

-with the stuffing.

-I think stuffing makes a difference

-to the turkey.

-In the pan, I have small cubes...

-..of pancetta or smoked bacon.

-Dry fry the meat

-and don't add any extra oil.

-There's a lot of oil

-oozing out of the meat.

-Allow the meat to brown

-for about five or six minutes...

-..before adding

-two finely chopped onions.

-Add the onions to the bacon

-and stir it.

-Are you stuffing the turkey

-with this?

-Could you stuff the turkey

-with a different stuffing?

-Yes, as two years ago, I made

-one with pork or sausage meat...

-..and chestnuts.

-I'll add chestnuts to

-this stuffing mixture.

-You can use rice, cous cous

-and other ingredients.

-Turkey meat can taste quite bland

-so the stuffing adds extra flavour.

-It depends on the type

-of turkey that you buy.

-This is a free-range turkey...

-..from the Cuckoo Mill Farm

-in Pembrokeshire.

-They've been organically reared...

-..which means the turkey

-will have a better flavour.

-It's worth spending more

-on a quality turkey.

-I'll return to the stuffing,

-while the onions are cooking.

-I'm using the breadcrumbs

-of a wholemeal loaf.

-To this,

-I'll add finely chopped herbs.

-Throw in a bunch each

-of thyme and sage.

-I like a lot of herbs

-and add some parsley.

-These are all fresh herbs.

-I grow my own sage and thyme.

-But for some reason,

-I can't grow parsley.

-Does it matter

-if you use fresh herbs or not?

-If you use dry herbs,

-you only use half of the amount.

-Use a tablespoon each

-of the dry herbs.

-Next, we have the zest

-of citrus fruits.

-These are clementines,

-oranges and lemons.

-I've used one orange, one lemon

-and two satsumas or clementines.

-I've never tried stuffing

-with these ingredients before.

-I'm looking forward to it.

-Next, add fresh grated nutmeg.

-It's got a traditional

-Christmas flavour.

-There's a slight spice to nutmeg.

-I've already cooked these chestnuts.

-I'm using 150g.

-You can purchase chestnuts

-which have already been peeled.

-You used to peel them.

-That was my job every Christmas Eve!

-But it isn't easy!

-I've given up on peeling them.

-I cut corners on this

-and buy them prepared.

-I won't tell my mother

-and it'll save me a job!

-The onions have started to brown

-and soften.

-I'm going to add finely chopped

-turkey liver.

-This needs a minute to cook.

-You don't have to include this.

-Did it come with the turkey?

-If you buy a turkey from a farm...

-..you will have the giblets,

-liver, heart - everything.

-People can make a soup from it.

-They're flavoursome

-and liver contains iron.

-They're nutritious.

-I've added all of the ingredients.

-I'm going to transfer the

-ingredients from the pan.

-Mix the ingredients.

-I'd usually leave this to cool down.

-Why do you leave it cool down?

-It's easier to handle.

-You could do this beforehand...

-..and freeze it.

-I'm going to add

-one large beaten egg...

-..and stir it again.

-I'll move on to the turkey...

-..before I run out of time.

-Do you need space in the turkey

-for the stuffing to cook?

-I put the stuffing

-at this end of the turkey.

-I'm going to show you

-what I place inside the turkey.

-If you can turn the turkey

-like this.

-Do you want help?

-Do you want help?

-

-The turkey is standing by itself!

-He learnt his lesson earlier!

-Season it with salt and pepper...

-..before stuffing the turkey

-with some fruit and herbs.

-I have sage, sliced orange,

-clementines and satsumas.

-There's also bay leaves...

-..and parsley stems.

-Don't waste anything.

-This is going to give the turkey

-extra taste and moisture.

-Turkey can be very dry.

-You have to make sure

-that you don't overcook it.

-I've released some of the skin...

-..around the breast area.

-I'm going to place the stuffing

-around this area.

-The stuffing is still quite hot.

-You'd leave it to cool down though.

-You'd leave it to cool down though.

-

-Yes, definitely.

-You place the stuffing

-between the skin and the meat.

-Yes, it helps to give the meat

-extra flavour and moisture.

-Cook this in the oven...

-..at 190 degrees Celsius

-or gas mark 5.

-You will need to cook it

-for 20 minutes per kilo...

-..plus an extra 90 minutes.

-This turkey will need

-around three hours.

-I'm not going to stuff

-the entire turkey now.

-Place it in a tin with a rack.

-There's space under the rack too.

-You could put onions below the rack.

-You can tuck the skin under

-the turkey or use a skewer.

-Will the turkey fit in the oven?

-This is between five and six kilos.

-This will feed 12 people.

-They say each pound

-will feed one person.

-Smother the turkey with butter.

-You could also use bacon.

-We put bacon on top of the turkey.

-Add some salt and pepper...

-..before placing foil over it.

-You will also need

-to add water to the tray.

-The water creates a steam

-as it cooks.

-It will stop it from drying out.

-Some more salt and pepper.

-You can view all of today's items

-again on Clic or BBC iPlayer.

-Next, we have a Christmas tip

-from Huw Rees.

-Make sure you listen carefully.

-My best tip for Christmas

-is to keep everything simple.

-Whether it's for work, a party

-or from the kitchen to the table.

-A simple blouse is the secret...

-..and add a touch of sparkle.

-Match a simple necklace...

-..with a sparkly lace blouse.

-Change your hairstyle

-by removing the hair clip...

-..and you'll be ready to celebrate.

-Merry Christmas.

-That's it for the first part.

-After the break...

-..Daf Wyn hears of a special show

-staged by Hijinx Theatre company.

-I'll introduce you to Wales'

-children's favourite...

-..Alun yr Arth.

-Rhodri Gomer will chat with the

-rugby player, Jamie Roberts.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Everyone has heard of the

-famous show, The Nutcracker.

-Last week, a special adaptation

-of this story...

-..was performed at the

-Millennium Centre.

-Daf Wyn was there to sample

-some of the magic.

-The Nutcracker

-is a popular story at Christmas...

-..about a German toy that

-comes to life on Christmas Eve.

-Most of us are familiar with it

-thanks to the Tchaikovsky ballet.

-E T A Hoffmann created

-this magical tale 199 years ago.

-Adaptations of his story are still

-being performed 200 years later...

-..just like this one

-at the Millennium Centre.

-Tonight at the Weston Studio...

-..the Hijinx Theatre performs their

-version of The Silent Toy Soldier.

-The Silent Toy Soldier...

-..is about a lot of families

-trying to find their way home.

-We've got a lot of characters

-and it's quite emotional.

-There are moments of elation

-and melancholy...

-..but it's a show

-for the whole family.

-It's performed by Odyssey -

-an offshoot of the Hijinx Theatre.

-This inclusive

-community group...

-..is for adults with and without

-learning disabilities.

-Christmas shows are very special

-as it's a great time of the year.

-These shows are filled with the fun

-and true Christmas spirit.

-The show is based on sweets

-and as you can see, I'm candy floss.

-I enjoy it

-because it's fun and enjoyable.

-They'll have a different idea

-when they leave the auditorium.

-My character is spiky...

-..completely spiky

-and called Cactus.

-People will be gobsmacked and will

-have the best night of their lives.

-I cannot wait for Christmas

-- it's here!

-This isn't just a show for adults.

-It also stars pupils from

-Woodlands School in Ely, Cardiff.

-I thought it was something

-really special to do...

-..for my parents.

-Do you have a favourite part

-of the show?

-No, because I'm asleep on the floor.

-Does it make you feel Christmassy?

-Yes, very!

-Are you looking forward to it?

-Are you looking forward to it?

-

-Yes.

-The Odyssey shows are unique

-and a lot of fun.

-People feel that Christmas

-has really started...

-..after seeing the Odyssey show

-at the Millennium Centre.

-CHEERS

-Congratulations to the crew.

-Have you heard of Alun yr Arth?

-No?

-Alun yr Arth is a loveable

-character from Welsh books...

-..who is also very popular

-among young children.

-Many of the Alun yr Arth stories

-books have been published...

-..and now, there's also an app

-for mobile phones and tablets.

-As you will see shortly...

-..Alun yr Arth is a very popular

-character in our home.

-Alun yr Arth is very popular

-among the children of Wales.

-Morgan Tomos is the author and

-illustrator of the books.

-Alun is a mischievous bear,

-but is also a lot of fun.

-There are over 20 books

-about this special bear.

-Yes, our family are also big fans

-of Alun yr Arth.

-We're fans of the books and the app.

-What story are we going to have

-tonight, Lily and Alys?

-Can we have Alun yr Arth, please?

-Alun yr Arth once again.

-Right.

-Alun yr Arth on the farm.

-"The mischievous Alun yr Arth

-hated washing."

-"He hated the soap in his eyes,

-up his nose and into his ears."

-The little baby.

-The little baby.

-

-Yes, that's Alun yr Arth.

-"The pair spotted

-a big red tractor."

-"Why don't we escape?"

-There is a need for Welsh apps

-as there are so many in English.

-There's a shortage of Welsh apps.

-The Welsh Government approached

-many companies to create Welsh apps.

-We've created an app which can be

-used in school, but is also fun...

-..which they will also want to play

-at home and in the car.

-We hope they enjoy

-using this Welsh app.

-The story of the app is based on

-the book, Alun yr Arth on the farm

-We don't show the story...

-..but we see the character

-in the barn, the chicken hut...

-..and taking part in a variety

-of activities around the farm.

-From the books, to the app...

-..Alun yr Arth continues

-to be as popular as ever.

-The end.

-Do you like Alun yr Arth, Alys?

-What do you like about Alun yr Arth?

-He's naughty, mischievous

-and he has the same name as you!

-But your not a bear.

-No, I'm not.

-I'm certainly not the most

-important Alun in our home.

-If you would like to download

-the app to your phone or tablet...

-..make sure you type Ar y Fferm

-into the search box.

-Next, we turn our

-attention to Jamie Roberts.

-Queen's College dates back

-to the mid 15th century...

-..and boasts alumni such as

-Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Fry.

-It's the college that Jamie Roberts

-calls home for his first term.

-History and tradition were important

-in his decision to come here.

-You've been at Queen's College for

-three weeks so are you settling in?

-Yes, I'm only here for the first

-term to play the Varsity Match...

-..before I return to my professional

-career with the Harlequins.

-After that, I'll travel here

-for one day a week.

-It was my dream to study

-at either Cambridge or Oxford.

-I couldn't do it as an undergraduate

-after leaving school in Cardiff...

-..because my rugby career was going

-so well.

-Playing in the Varsity Match

-is something very special.

-It's something I've wanted to add

-to my CV for the last few years.

-The last time the light blues

-beat the dark blues was in 2009...

-..when Cambridge won

-with 39 points to 17.

-Oxford has won the last five games

-since that time.

-No team in the history of the

-Varsity from 1872 onwards...

-..has won six consecutive matches

-so this game is a pressure pot!

-The other team isn't called Oxford

-but "the other place!"

-It's another tradition.

-I'm aware that Cambridge

-has lost the last five games.

-I came here instead of Oxford...

-..because I wanted to win this game.

-The lads are fantastic

-and hard-working.

-All respect to Jamie.

-He rocked up and established himself

-in the group...

-..and made sure

-he was part of the team.

-He didn't care about the name,

-Jamie Roberts.

-He wanted to be part of this

-and embraced it which is fantastic.

-Even in the professional era,

-many international players...

-..have represented Oxford

-and Cambridge in the Varsity Match.

-Anton Oliver and Joe Roff joined

-at the end of their careers...

-..but Jamie is 28 and in his prime

-so expectations are high.

-We need to remember

-the amateur game.

-I was able to go back in the middle

-of my career...

-..as opposed to the end.

-I hope to be two thirds of the way

-into my career...

-..and wanted to play an amateur game

-that has a history.

-What do the next two years

-hold for you?

-I've got a few games with Cambridge

-and finish with the Varsity Match...

-..before joining the Harlequins

-to play with them for three years.

-I'll also spend two years doing

-my MPhil here in Medical Science.

-I'll be travelling here by train

-to work on my project.

-Thank you and

-good luck in the match, Jamie.

-Thank you very much.

-Good luck to Jamie.

-After the break...

-..we celebrate the birthday

-of Campiaith.

-Huw Rees has been shopping for the

-perfect little black dress.

-But to take us into the break...

-..here's Meinir Wyn Roberts with her

-rendition of O Holy Night.

-# Oh, holy night!

-The stars are brightly shining

-# It is the night

-of the dear Saviour's birth

-# Long lay the world

-in sin and error pining

-# Till he appear'd

-and the soul felt its worth

-# A thrill of hope

-the weary world rejoices

-# For yonder breaks

-a new and glorious morn

-# Fall on your knees

-# Oh, hear the angel voices

-# Oh, night divine

-# Oh, night when Christ was born

-# Oh, night divine

-# Oh, night

-# Oh, night divine #

-.

-Welcome back.

-This week, the Campiaith company are

-celebrating their first birthday.

-The company aim to provide different

-ways of learning Welsh...

-..and they've certainly

-had a successful first year.

-It's time to welcome our guest,

-Rhian Davies from Campiaith.

-The company recently celebrated

-its first birthday...

-..and offers Welsh language courses

-with a difference.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Welcome to the programme.

-

-Thank you.

-Why is your business so different?

-We're fortunate

-to be in the position...

-..where we get to celebrate

-our first birthday.

-We've held a variety of courses

-throughout the first year.

-We offer residential courses

-to those who learn Welsh...

-..and those who are Welsh speakers.

-We've succeeded in

-having people from England...

-..to join in our courses.

-There have been one day courses

-for a variety of institutions...

-..including Age Concern.

-They want their staff to be able

-to deal with clients in Welsh.

-We've also receive support

-from a variety of providers...

-..and have held courses

-at Aberystwyth University...

-..Swansea University

-and Cardiff University.

-We're extremely happy

-with the work.

-The aim of Campiaith is

-to learn Welsh...

-..by having lots of fun.

-There is a emphasis on learning

-Welsh through an informal manner.

-We don't teach using books.

-Fun is the most important element.

-We feel that when people are put

-in an informal situation...

-..they relax and tend to have fun.

-They forget that they're learning.

-What type of activities have you

-done to introduce the fun side?

-We have a variety of activities.

-If people see our Facebook page,

-they will think we're silly.

-They won't think you spend

-a lot of time learning.

-We've done cookery lessons,

-canoeing, treks...

-..a lot of drama, acting and dance.

-People who have a relaxed experience

-tend to remember them.

-We want people to have a good

-experience of learning Welsh.

-Where are the sessions held?

-The sessions are held

-across Wales...

-..it depends on the need.

-If we arrange residential courses,

-we advertise for Welsh learners...

-..and the sessions are held

-at the Urdd camp Llangrannog...

-..and we held our first course

-in Devil's Bridge.

-We travel around Wales.

-We held a session for the

-Age Concern staff in Cardigan.

-We've also been to Bute Park...

-..with the staff of

-Cardiff's Flying Start.

-We spent the entire day outside.

-You've had some famous people

-involved in these courses.

-We've been lucky to receive support

-from many famous people.

-Glyn Wise has been on one

-of our courses.

-Einir Dafydd sang

-at one of our evenings.

-Dewi Pws and Delyth Wyn have also

-been entertainment for us.

-Rupert Moon has been helping with

-the marketing of our courses.

-We usually do a trailer

-to advertise our courses.

-We do try and have the support

-of these well-known stars.

-You've arranged a variety of events

-to celebrate the first birthday.

-We have an event next Wednesday

-at Y Morlan Centre in Aberystwyth.

-The event will be informal...

-..which gives people a taster of the

-activities we offer on our courses.

-We'll also have a birthday cake.

-One of our students has started

-a business locally...

-..and she's creating the

-cake for us.

-Some have asked us why are we

-holding the event during the week...

-..rather than on the weekend.

-One of the main aims was to attract

-people from public services...

-..to discover what

-Campiaith really is...

-..and perhaps they will need

-our support in the future.

-It sounds like a great idea

-and a lot of fun.

-Good luck to all of

-those learning the language.

-Thank you, Rhian.

-Happy birthday to Campiaith.

-Next, we turn our attention

-to fashion.

-Have you been

-to a Christmas party yet?

-If the answer is no...

-..Huw Rees has all the

-advice you'll need...

-..for finding the

-perfect little black dress.

-Every woman needs one specific item

-of clothing in her wardrobe.

-Do you know what it is, Rhodri?

-Do you know what it is, Rhodri?

-

-Clean socks?

-No, the answer is a

-timeless little black dress.

-Huw, that's exactly what

-you've got for us, this evening.

-I was going to say clean knickers.

-I was going to say clean knickers.

-

-I didn't want to say that!

-You've been rude now!

-There's nothing rude about clean

-knickers, Rhodri.

-Let's move on.

-We're moving on to the

-little black dresses.

-We always have items about recycling

-little black dresses.

-But tonight, we're not recycling.

-There are many little black dresses

-available on the high street.

-We've got little black dresses...

-..following Black Friday

-and Black Weekend...

-..which means this is the perfect

-time to buy in the sale.

-Invest in a dress that you

-intend on wearing more than once.

-But spend less on a dress

-you will only wear once.

-Margaret is our first model.

-This lace stretch dress is from

-Per Una in Marks and Spencer.

-The classic dress costs 59

-and it won't go out of fashion.

-You can dress a little black dress

-up in a variety of ways.

-Today, we've concentrated

-on this beautiful pearl colour.

-Margaret is wearing

-a gorgeous necklace.

-This necklace calls for some fur.

-You can buy a wide variety of

-faux fur from the high street.

-This look is very sophisticated.

-The dress has sparkle

-and a lot of stretch.

-If you wear the correct underwear...

-..you can eat whatever you want and

-everything will be kept in place.

-Are you comfortable, Margaret?

-Are you comfortable, Margaret?

-

-Yes, I have to say I love the dress.

-You look very smart.

-Margaret has many little black

-dresses in her wardrobe.

-The sparkle is lovely.

-The sparkle is lovely.

-

-It looks great with the pearl.

-Our next model is Ffion.

-Our next model is Ffion.

-

-Thank you, Margaret.

-This next dress is one you

-would wear to one party.

-The dress is from TK Maxx.

-You will find a TK Maxx

-in every town these days.

-A lot of people hate shopping

-in TK Maxx stores.

-Today, I found a Christmas

-party dress for 12.

-That is a fantastic price.

-We've teamed it with

-a faux fur jacket.

-Make sure you don't keep these

-jackets for parties only.

-You could wear it with jeans,

-a denim shirt or a leather skirt.

-There are a variety of different

-ways you can wear this jacket.

-Don't keep it as your Sunday best.

-If Ffion removes the jacket.

-If Ffion removes the jacket.

-

-This is the 12 dress.

-Isn't this dress lovely?

-I have to admit that I found

-this is the clearance section.

-This is the first area of the store

-that I will look.

-In this section you'll find,

-smaller size clothes...

-..or those with a fault

-for a small price.

-The petrol to get to TK Maxx would

-cost more than this dress.

-You look great, Ffion.

-How do you feel in the dress?

-I really want to buy it

-as its such a bargain.

-Ffion has a Christmas party

-on Friday night.

-She said she wants

-to buy this dress.

-You can buy it off me for 10?

-We also found some Dune shoes

-in TK Maxx...

-..which were reduced from 125

-to 39.99.

-Our next model is Fiona.

-Our next model is Fiona.

-

-The shoes were full of sparkle.

-I've chosen this dress

-for Fiona for a reason.

-Many high street stores...

-..adapt the designs

-of famous labels.

-Two years ago,

-Llinos Lee was excited...

-..because Ted Baker had created

-a sequin jacket.

-Fiona will demonstrate that when you

-run your hand over the sequins...

-..the dress changes colour.

-Could you do it on the side, Fiona?

-This is great.

-However, there's a problem

-with this dress.

-If you wear this out with your

-husband or partner...

-..they might want to be loving

-and you will see the handprints.

-Be careful when wearing this!

-We've teamed the dress

-with gold heels and a bag.

-It looks great.

-Do you want to ask Fiona a question?

-Are you comfortable, Fiona?

-The heels are higher than

-what I would usually wear.

-But I like the dress.

-But I like the dress.

-

-The material is very clever.

-I was scared to ask Fiona

-a question.

-We don't want to know her secrets!

-In the final part

-of the programme...

-# If I could tell Grandad

-# That men have walked on the moon

-# He'd find it hard to believe

-# That man had gone so far

-# So far

-# But there you go,

-it's a strange old world

-# If I could tell Grandma

-# That our scientists say

-there are stars beyond the stars

-# She'd find it hard to believe

-# That man had seen so far

-# So far

-# But there you go,

-it's a strange old world

-# But that's not how it used to be

-# No

-# Things were better back then

-# But maybe it's me

-who's old fashioned

-# Only one star

-# One star

-# Only one star
