-We start today on the ice.

-Recently, I was invited to join

-a very special ice hockey team.

-Here's the story.

-Ice Arena Wales

-is home to the Cardiff Devils.

-The team play

-in the British Elite League.

-This place is also home to the only

-women's ice hockey team in Wales...

-..and they are the Cardiff Comets.

-Come on, girls,

-we're ready for this game.

-We're ready as a team.

-We're a pack and we'll win.

-Everyone in the middle

-- one, two, three...

-ALL: Go Comets!

-Tell us about the Cardiff Comets.

-We're the only

-women's ice hockey team in Wales.

-We've been here for 25 years.

-We derived from

-the Tiger Bay Tornados.

-We train on Wednesday night

-and the new season is starting.

-We're having a practice run

-against the Cardiff Eagles.

-They're a men's team, so the pace

-of the match will be much quicker.

-But it's great

-to be part of the team.

-What league or level are you in?

-We're three levels below elite.

-We're not far from elite.

-The games are tough,

-but I love it.

-There's team spirit

-and camaraderie when we train.

-We come here after a day at work.

-We have doctors, police officers

-and other professions in the team.

-We come here after work

-to enjoy and train.

-It's just great.

-Sam Zala, left-wing.

-Kam, centre.

-Vikki, defense.

-Sharon Edwards, defense.

-Do you have a big fanbase?

-When games are being played,

-friends and family come and watch.

-We invite people to come and help

-and the games are free.

-There are few scuffles

-but we deal with it as a team.

-We're tough chicks

-that can handle anything.

-But we're a close-knit bunch.

-You'll take to the ice shortly

-to play a game so all the best.

-Break a leg?

-Break a leg?

-

-Don't say that.

-I don't want to break a leg!

-I don't want to break a leg!

-

-Don't break a leg!

-But good luck.

-But good luck.

-

-Thanks.

-Good luck to the Comets

-and thanks for the warm welcome.

-Our next stop this morning

-is Porthmadog.

-We wish a happy birthday to one

-of the town's most famous shops.

-Pike's newsagents opened in 1902...

-..and has remained in

-the same family for 115 years.

-The town is celebrating.

-Gerallt wished a happy birthday

-to the Pike family.

-Pike's of Porthmadog

-is more than a newsagent.

-It's an institution that's

-now run by Meryl and Dafydd.

-Everyone in the area has a good word

-for the owners and their shop.

-I come to Pike's every day

-to collect my paper and have a chat.

-Meryl, Dafydd and the staff

-are great.

-The staff in the shop are very kind.

-Dafydd and Meryl are always ready to

-help the whole community and town.

-It's a wonderful shop.

-As a minister,

-Pike's is a great help to me.

-This is a hub.

-Members of my congregation

-can often find me here.

-Pike's is at the heart of

-the community here in Porthmadog.

-Pike's is a familiar name

-in Porthmadog...

-..but for how long

-has the Pike family been here?

-We've been here for 115 years.

-My great-grandfather, William Pike

-came here from Keyworth, Nottingham.

-He was a former cricket professional

-who came to coach Porthmadog's team.

-After one season, David Breeze

-suggested that he opened a shop.

-Many residents remember

-your father in the shop.

-Yes, it's still known

-as Bill Pike's shop.

-You have fond memories of him.

-You have fond memories of him.

-

-Yes, he was quite a character.

-He was well-known and enjoyed

-his time behind the counter.

-He liked chatting

-to the customers...

-..and express his opinions.

-The store is more

-than just a newsagents.

-We sell a little bit of everything.

-There are jig-saw puzzles,

-fishing tackle, magazines and cards.

-You never miss an opportunity

-to publicize yourself!

-It's important that we do.

-How will you be celebrating

-the shop's 115th birthday?

-We're going to celebrate

-by sharing with the community.

-They've supported us for 115 years,

-so we're giving something back.

-We're sharing 115 with a different

-charity every month for a year.

-For how long have you worked here?

-For how long have you worked here?

-

-I've been here for 12 years.

-Dafydd and Meryl aren't listening

-so tell us what they're like!

-They're fair and kind

-and it's a great shop to work in.

-We have lots of fun with the

-customers, staff, Dafydd and Meryl.

-Dafydd often offers me my P45.

-But I'm still here,

-like a boomerang!

-I've really enjoyed working here.

-It's quite a small shop...

-..with a confined space

-behind the counter.

-Does this husband and wife team

-get on well?

-We never argue in the shop

-but the same can't be said at home.

-Is that true, Meryl?

-Is that true, Meryl?

-

-Yes, he's right.

-Happy 115th birthday to Pike's.

-Give her a birthday kiss!

-Happy birthday to Pike's!

-November is Legends month on S4C.

-Heno is holding a competition

-to find Wales' bravest dog...

-..or the new Gelert!

-There are many special dogs across

-the country with amazing stories...

-..just like this next one.

-Here's Pero

-and his incredible story.

-We've had Pero the dog

-since he was a pup.

-When a dog bonds with his owner,

-he listens to his every command.

-Once you form a bond with a dog,

-they'll do anything for you.

-A dog is a friend for life.

-Someone got in touch

-asking for a sheepdog...

-..and came to collect him.

-We sent Pero to Cockermouth.

-It was an opportunity for him

-to work independently...

-..without having to fight for work

-with the other dogs at home.

-He was a better sheepdog when he

-was accompanied with another dog.

-We're lucky to have a good selection

-of much younger dogs.

-He was five years old

-when he was sent away.

-He didn't bond with the new owner as

-his mind was on his first trainer.

-He wouldn't come out from his kennel

-at first.

-However, he eventually

-started to follow the bike...

-..but instead of turning around with

-the bike, the dog jumped the fence.

-A week passed

-and there was no sign of Pero.

-The following week...

-..Alan spotted Pero

-on our doorstep.

-I did a double-take

-and he jumped for joy at being home.

-He travelled 250 miles

-from Cockermouth in Cumbria...

-..to Penrhyn-coch

-in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.

-The day news broke of his adventure,

-the phone didn't stop ringing.

-I took 27 calls from radio

-and television stations...

-..The Telegraph,

-The Guardian and The Sun.

-We were even interviewed by

-Phillip and Holly from This Morning.

-It's been over 18 months

-since Pero returned to us.

-He has received letters

-addressed directly to him.

-He's become a local hero

-in our community.

-When I attended the Royal Welsh,

-I was referred to as Pero's owner.

-They recognize Pero

-before recognizing me!

-It's an incredible story and Pero's

-journey has touched the nation.

-It's incredible that he walked

-all the way from Cockermouth.

-He's still here and

-still enjoys lying on the doorstep.

-Our daughter wouldn't forgive us if

-we passed Pero on to someone else.

-Pero's here to stay.

-What a wonderful story!

-Heno is looking for

-all sorts of stories.

-Maybe your dog hasn't performed

-a special deed...

-..and is simply a loyal

-and invaluable companion.

-That's it for part one

-but in the second part...

-..we wish all the best

-to Bleddyn Mon...

-..as he prepares

-to sail around the world.

-We also discuss the most popular

-Welsh names for children.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Welcome back.

-Anglesey youngster, Bleddyn Mon...

-..is making a name for himself

-in the sailing world.

-He's busy sailing the world.

-Before his tour

-and challenging competition...

-..Rhodri Gomer visited Alicante

-to wish him all the best.

-The Volvo Ocean Race covers 45,000

-nautical miles around the world.

-It finishes in the Netherlands

-in June next year...

-..having visited ports around

-the world including Cardiff Bay.

-It starts in Alicante on Sunday.

-One of the seven teams taking part

-this year is of particular interest.

-It features a true Welshman.

-I'm Bleddyn Mon, 25 from Anglesey in

-the Turn The Tide On Plastic team.

-I started sailing

-when I was five or six.

-My family got a boat

-and we started sailing at the beach.

-I never thought

-I'd end up doing this!

-I was very lucky at the age of 18 to

-sail in the Extreme Sailing Series.

-It was the first time for me

-to sail professionally.

-I finished university and joined the

-British team of the America's Cup...

-..as a sailor

-and member of the design team.

-I thought about taking a break

-but am doing the Volvo Ocean Race!

-As one of the most experienced

-members of the crew...

-..it's a pleasure to work

-with the young sailors on the team.

-Bleddyn's an engineer who works

-hard to make the ship go faster.

-At 25, Bleddyn

-has already achieved more...

-..than many other professional

-sailors in their whole life...

-..but this race is set to be

-the toughest to date.

-Eight months are split

-into eleven stages.

-These boats will race against

-each other day and night.

-This ultimate ocean marathon

-features the world's best sailors.

-The Volvo Ocean Race

-is the ultimate maritime marathon.

-Some of the stages are two or three

-days and we cross five oceans.

-We start on Sunday and I'll finish

-at the end of June next year.

-Tell us about this boat that you're

-sailing for the next eight months.

-Volvo 65 is a 65-foot-long boat and

-my home for the next nine months.

-Can you give me a quick tour?

-Can you give me a quick tour?

-

-Yes, of course.

-We do the hard work here with four

-crew members on deck for four hours.

-The crew changes and we relax,

-eat and sleep...

-..and change over again.

-It's incredibly intense

-but a lot of fun too!

-We finish sailing and share the

-information with the next watch...

-..before coming down here

-to relax and eat...

-..and cook in this little kitchen.

-What will you eat?

-We'll carry freeze-dried food

-that's in small packets.

-You simply add boiling water...

-..allow it stand for 15 minutes

-and eat it!

-The bunks are simple and

-you struggle to sleep at first...

-..but you can sleep anywhere

-if you're exhausted!

-The race is coming to Wales so you

-must be excited about that stage.

-It'll be a great stage across the

-Atlantic from Newport to Cardiff.

-It'll be the first time that

-I'll sail into my homeland...

-..so I'm very excited about

-seeing my family at the end.

-Good luck to you from Heno, Bleddyn.

-Good luck to you from Heno, Bleddyn.

-

-Thank you very much.

-Wow! That's amazing.

-We'll follow Bleddyn on his tour

-during the next eight months.

-The good news is that Bleddyn

-and the crew have reached Lisbon.

-The most popular children's names

-of 2016 have been published.

-Unfortunately, the name, Alun

-is becoming less popular.

-But my children's names, Lili

-and Alys are still on the list.

-Other names on the list include

-Olifer, Jac, Harri and Mali.

-Prynhawn Da met two mothers with

-children that have popular names.

-Choosing a name for my first child

-has been one of my toughest choices.

-Seven years ago, I gave birth to Oli

-and he didn't have a name for weeks.

-Mam was going mad because she had to

-tell everyone he was called Junior!

-After weeks and it was almost

-too late to register him...

-..we got the name of Olifer Jac.

-There's only one Oli Jac

-in my classroom and that's me!

-Bradley and I had our first child

-in August 2016.

-We didn't know he would be a boy

-and wanted it to be a surprise.

-Last year on 23 August, this

-6lb and 11.5oz bundle arrived...

-..and chose to call him Harri Jac.

-I like old fashioned names

-so he's called Oli Jac...

-..and only called Olifer

-when he's being naughty.

-WICKED LAUGHTER

-We didn't have a lot of names but

-Harri is a common name in my family.

-Grandpa, or my mother's father

-was called Henry...

-..so I liked the fact that Harri

-was the Welsh version of Henry.

-Bradley's father is a singer

-and his stage name is Harry Lewis.

-We chose Jac because my mother's

-is Jackie so he's called Harri Jac.

-It's a strong name

-for the boss of this house!

-Last year, I had a little girl.

-I loved the name of Mali so she

-had a name before she left hospital.

-Oh, Mali.

-During my pregnancy, I liked Osian,

-which is on last year's list.

-If another baby arrives, Osian might

-be at the top of our list for names.

-He'll be in good company with Harri.

-Choosing the right name

-is a huge responsibility.

-They carry the name for life

-and this shapes them.

-I like the name of Oli Jac

-- it sounds like Olly Murs.

-Whenever I call out the names

-of Oli or Mali...

-..I'm happy that those were

-the right names for them.

-If Mammy has another baby, she can

-call him Gareth after Gareth Bale!

-Those children were cute.

-Heini Gruffudd, are you surprised

-by some of the names on the list?

-The most important thing

-is that they can speak Welsh...

-..and they attend Welsh schools.

-There's a host of family reasons

-why those names were chosen.

-The family are happy with that name.

-What's surprising from the list

-of Welsh boys and girls names...

-..is that nine in ten names

-are exactly the same...

-..as the list for

-the whole of Britain.

-It's as if there's a trend

-of these names across Britain.

-It isn't only Britain but

-also America, Australia...

-..and Anglo-American countries.

-Does this suggest that people

-are following a trend...

-..created by the film, television

-and music world?

-Yes, I'd like to think

-they've chosen names...

-..of people who have

-accomplished something...

-..whether it's actors or singers.

-These days, people choose names

-that derive from Love Island...

-..or Big Brother

-and similar silly programmes.

-I'd like people to opt

-for Welsh traditional names.

-Names that derive from the area

-or from the family.

-Sioned mentioned that

-she liked the name Osian.

-Osian was one of the

-most popular names on the list...

-..as well as Tomos, Gethin

-and Macsen for boys.

-It's great to hear that Macsen

-has grown in popularity.

-Our Gwydion was almost named Macsen.

-The name stems back our past.

-The Emperor or Roman leader

-left Wales in 383AD...

-..as Dafydd Iwan reminds us with the

-lyrics, "Leaving our entire nation."

-Macsen's a great name.

-Names that are becoming less popular

-are Alun, Blethyn and Tudur.

-The most popular girls names

-are Alys, Mali and Cadi.

-The least popular girls names

-are Begw, Nesta and Siwan.

-There's been a tendency

-in both Welsh and English...

-..to use a pet names.

-Charlie replaces Charles,

-Alfie is used instead of Alfred...

-..Mali replaces Magdalene,

-and Cadi is instead of Catrin.

-Parents have chosen these names.

-It's possible to shorten the name,

-Catrin.

-You can't shorten the name, Cadi.

-That's true

-and Robert is called Bob and so on.

-My brother was called Bob at school

-in Swansea and the name has stuck.

-Maybe parents want their children

-to be called by these pet names.

-Many of the names

-are short and catchy.

-Are you disappointed that the names

-aren't more colloquial...

-..and have lost the local aspect?

-The top ten in the list

-of English names...

-..tend to end with the letter 'a'

-and Ava is now spelt in this way.

-Mia also ends with the letter 'a'

-and there are lots of similar names.

-These are names that easily

-slip off the tongue.

-There are two Biblical names

-in the list for boys names.

-They are Noah and Jacob.

-There are also three Royal names...

-..such as Charlie,

-William, George and so on.

-These are the trends.

-There's also Olivia, Amelia, Emily

-and Isla for girls.

-Isla wasn't as popular

-many years ago.

-You spell it Isla.

-It means island.

-That name hasn't been popular

-for a while.

-There are some wonderful names

-from the Mabinogi.

-There are great names

-in Welsh history.

-We have names that derive

-from the Welsh landscape.

-We've got thousands of

-fantastic Welsh names.

-Many Welsh names can be difficult

-to pronounce by the English.

-Maybe this is why they choose

-more Anglicized names.

-A friend in Swansea has a son

-called Bryn who studies at Bath.

-People at the university

-couldn't pronounce his name.

-I'm always called Owayne!

-That can be a problem...

-..but we're so close

-to the English border.

-Thanks for your time, Heini.

-I look forward

-to our chat next year!

-It was wonderful to receive

-this photograph earlier.

-Little Mali Wyn Louise has arrived.

-Thanks to her mother, Ceri-Ann

-for sending this photo to us.

-Congratulations to the family.

-I'm sure the name Mali

-will reach the 2017 list.

-The name, Alun wasn't even

-near to the top of the list...

-..but I certainly agree

-that they're all great names.

-It's time for a break,

-but still to come today...

-..Owain visits a farm

-in Carmarthenshire...

-..that recently diversified.

-Catrin's also in the kitchen

-preparing a vegetable lasagne.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-In Carmarthenshire,

-there's a farm that's diversified.

-Owain went to hear more.

-The glorious location of Fron Farm

-offers a very unusual service...

-..where you can stay in a roundhouse

-or a yurt.

-I considered doing this but knew

-nothing about roundhouses and yurts!

-Guy and Natasha own this site...

-..and build the houses here too.

-Hello, Natasha

-and thanks for the warm welcome.

-What is a yurt and roundhouse

-and why did you build them here?

-Yurts are originally

-from Mongolia and Kazakhstan...

-..but people stay in yurts

-in Britain when they are glamping.

-Many are bored of tents

-and a yurt is an unusual option.

-The yurt has a bed,

-a little kitchen and wood fire.

-There isn't Wi-Fi

-or mobile phones...

-..but it's better than a damp tent!

-Five years ago, we decided to

-diversify into a glamping site...

-..because glamping

-is very popular at the moment.

-My partner, Guy

-designed this yurt roundhouse...

-..so that people

-can get married on the farm.

-It's lucky that

-there's a historic church...

-..near the glamping site.

-The Church of St Mary and St Curig

-dates from the Middle Ages...

-..and sits 400 yards away from

-a Medieval motte-and-bailey castle.

-It's on the land of a farm

-linked with the abbey in Whitland.

-We don't have any written documents

-about the source of the church...

-..but the body of the church

-dates from the late 15th century.

-The church came with the farm when

-my parents bought it 20 years ago...

-..but the church fell into disrepair

-in the 1950s.

-Two years ago, my parents

-chose to restore the building.

-Local builders

-have spent two years...

-..returning it to its former glory.

-Natasha's partner plays

-a prominent role in the business...

-..building the glamping pods and

-selling them across the country...

-..after learning to build them

-himself with a useful handbook!

-The first yurt I made probably

-took me about six to eight weeks...

-..and the handbook

-came in very helpful.

-From making yurts, we got enquiries

-for all-year-round structures.

-A yurt is more

-of a seasonal structure...

-..so we have built a roundhouse-type

-yurt which is wooden clad structure.

-It is more of

-a four season structure.

-We welcome families

-during school holidays.

-Couples also come here

-for a romantic getaway.

-There's also room to socialize,

-the children can play outdoors...

-..and parents can forget

-about their stressful lives.

-I've walked around the houses and

-church and it's definitely magical.

-The hillside views are glorious.

-I won't be going back

-to the studio in a hurry!

-Owain was in his element there.

-Italian cuisine was on the menu

-in Monday's Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-The lasagne looked delicious!

-This dish is for vegetarians.

-I'm using butternut squash

-which is in season at the moment.

-It's got a sweet taste but mixes

-well with tomatoes and olives...

-..and the cheese,

-so it's a delicious blend.

-It's a comforting meal

-and can be prepare beforehand.

-First, I'll show you

-how to prepare the butternut squash.

-There are larger sizes available.

-I've placed a damp cloth

-under the chopping board...

-..to make sure that it doesn't slip.

-Slice the butternut squash in half

-with a sharp knife.

-It's easier to slice

-with a sharp knife...

-..than a sharp knife

-that's slightly blunt...

-..as there's a chance of slippage.

-Remove the bottom of

-the butternut squash.

-Peel the skin with a peeler...

-..and remove the seeds

-in the middle.

-The skin is very thick

-so you need to be careful.

-Spoon out the seeds.

-It's as easy as that but be careful.

-The centre resembles a pumpkin.

-You can also use

-a pumpkin for this recipe.

-I prepared the butternut squash

-and roasted it with red peppers.

-Roast for 20 minutes

-at 180C or gas mark 6.

-It releases the natural sugars

-and intensifies the flavour.

-Once the vegetables are roasted,

-we can move on to the sauce.

-I've fried some red onions here.

-The onions have softened

-in half a tablespoon of olive oil.

-Add some tinned tomatoes.

-Tomatoes are the basis of a lasagne.

-It's time to add some olives

-but does everyone like them?

-No, I don't.

-No, I don't.

-

-I love olives.

-Can you make a version

-for me without olives?

-You'll have to pull them out, Owain.

-But they do compliment

-the butternut squash.

-Add 100g of olives.

-Lasagne comes from Italy

-and they also grow olives there.

-Throw in some fresh basil.

-I'll also add some dried chilli.

-I think dried chilli

-is better than fresh chilli.

-It's slightly hotter, but you can

-control how hot you want the dish.

-Allow this to simmer for 20 minutes.

-We'll imagine that

-20 minutes has gone...

-..and once it's simmered,

-we add the roasted vegetables.

-We want to make it more

-nutritional and colourful...

-..add some spinach to the pan.

-This will then only take

-a few minutes cook.

-It gives the spinach

-a chance to wither.

-Add it at the final stage

-of the cooking process.

-It only takes minutes to cook.

-And the tomatoes

-have already been roasted.

-I'll leave this on a low heat

-for a minute...

-..and move on to the cheese sauce.

-I'm going to make roux

-with 50g of melted butter.

-It smells delicious.

-We've got some lovely flavours.

-Add 50g of flour

-to help thicken the sauce.

-Cook this for a couple of minutes.

-What flour did you use?

-What flour did you use?

-

-I used plain flour.

-Cook the sauce for

-another couple of minutes.

-Add 500ml of milk to the mixture.

-Continue to stir whilst pouring

-to stop any lumps from forming.

-Allow this to cook.

-Unfortunately, time is against us.

-So, by the magic of television!

-The sauce has thickened.

-Add 100g of cheddar cheese

-to the sauce.

-Once the sauce is cooked,

-we need to build our lasagne.

-I'll leave this sauce for a minute.

-I've got a lasagne in the oven

-that I made earlier.

-All I did was build the lasagne...

-..using layers of fresh pasta.

-Create the lasagne with layers.

-Place layer-upon-layer,

-finish with some mozzarella...

-..and top with a sprinkle of cheese,

-pine nuts and basil.

-It's a simple dish to make.

-I've never made my own lasagne.

-It's shameful.

-Yes, and it's also easy

-to make with some beef.

-Thank you, Catrin.

-I'll make a note of that recipe.

-It's time for a break

-but we return for the final time...

-..with rugby star, Shane Williams

-performing on stage in a pantomime.

-Oh, yes he will!

-Hana Medi visits Folly Farm.

-The West End star, John Owen-Jones

-also performs the song, Adre'n Ol.

-You've got a couple of minutes to

-make a quick cuppa and return to us.

-.

-Welcome back.

-Despite being told he was

-too small to play rugby...

-..he went on to win 87 Welsh caps

-and score 58 tries.

-Shane Williams' story

-is amazing and inspirational.

-But he's changed direction

-and is performing in a panto.

-Shane, I've heard you're swapping

-the rugby boots for tights?

-I haven't seen the costume yet, but

-tights will probably be involved.

-Why did you decide to do a panto?

-S4C and Geraint approached me

-to do something different.

-It will be a nice thing to do

-around Christmas.

-Gareth Thomas and Mike Phillips

-have appeared in panto, so why not?

-The panto is about your career.

-It must be an honour to have

-Tudur Owen write a script about you.

-It's quite strange...

-..as my rugby story

-differs from others.

-In the end, it was a long story...

-..of people telling me

-I was too small.

-When Geraint asked me if I wanted to

-do a panto about my rugby story...

-..it was strange...

-..but after hearing about it and

-finding out who are my co-stars...

-..I wanted to do it.

-I'm very nervous,

-but also very excited.

-Tara, tell us about

-this unique panto.

-Unique is the correct word to use.

-Shane a'r Belen Aur will be

-performed on the 22 November...

-..at the Princess Royal Theatre,

-Port Talbot.

-The tickets are on sale for 5...

-..and are available

-from the ticket office.

-You've performed in

-many pantos and musicals...

-..but this is Shane's first time,

-so what's he like?

-This is only day one.

-Shane and I have only met once

-and never performed together.

-He seems quite nervous

-and he just told me that!

-But a panto is meant to be fun...

-..and Shane is such a hero that

-people will be pleased to see him.

-He'll be brilliant.

-You must be excited

-to start the rehearsals.

-This is my 15th pantomime, but my

-first alongside many famous faces.

-I'm sure my father

-would be very proud.

-The last time I did something

-like this was at school...

-..and I fell off the stage!

-I'm nervous, but this is different.

-I've played in the Principality

-Stadium in front of thousands...

-..and there will be

-600 people here...

-..and I'm more nervous about this.

-All proceeds will be donated to

-causes that are close to your heart.

-Funds will be donated

-to Velindre Cancer Centre.

-I'm a ambassador and have worked

-with them for a long time.

-Funds will also be donated to CLIC

-Sargent children's cancer charity.

-I'm proud to be involved

-with both charities...

-..and to donate the funds.

-You haven't started rehearsing yet

-but I wish you all the best.

-We hope to come back and see you.

-We hope to come back and see you.

-

-Thank you.

-Good luck.

-Good luck to Shane

-and that great cast.

-Thousands flock to Folly Farm

-in Pembrokeshire every year.

-The farm's latest attraction has

-arrived, but it isn't an animal.

-Hana Medi has the details.

-Folly Farm tends to attract people

-to see four-legged furry friends...

-..but the site has just opened

-a new and unusual attraction.

-Folly Farm Welsh Learners Trail

-to celebrate our location in Wales.

-It's a brilliant chance for visitors

-to learn Welsh terms about our site.

-It's lovely for tourists from

-further afield to learn some Welsh.

-The park itself

-has more of a Welsh essence.

-We encourage our staff

-to speak more Welsh...

-..to celebrate the language

-and its role in our identity.

-The local Welsh language tutor,

-Rhian Davies welcomes this trail.

-It's a wonderful development...

-..when you consider

-the number of local families...

-..who visit Folly Farm.

-It's excellent and a very positive

-development for the Welsh language.

-This will benefit every visitor.

-Non-Welsh speaking families

-can show their children...

-..that Welsh is a living language

-and can be used in Folly Farm.

-It could plant the seed in terms

-of raising children to be bilingual.

-We jumped at the chance to walk

-around and follow the trail.

-The signs are effective

-because the Welsh is simple.

-Under each phrase, you have the

-words written phonetically too...

-..which is a great help

-for Welsh learners.

-Viewing the Welsh language

-in this popular site...

-..is proof that the language

-is thriving in Pembrokeshire.

-Tourists will also

-see the Welsh language.

-The aim is for people to see,

-hear and use the Welsh language.

-Folly Farm is a sweeping success

-and has reached a special list.

-We've recently been named

-the tenth best zoo in the world...

-..not just the United Kingdom,

-but the whole world!

-It's wonderful because our visitors

-give us the feedback on TripAdvisor.

-This award is from them

-which is brilliant.

-It's a real honour.

-What about the future?

-It's been a busy summer

-and we've opened a new shop.

-We don't know what the future holds

-but watch this space!

-What a great idea.

-John Owen-Jones is famous for

-performing in Les Miserables.

-He's currently rehearsing

-for Tiger Bay The Musical...

-..which opens on 13 November

-at the Wales Millennium Centre.

-# Bring him home

-# Bring him home

-# Bring him

-# Home #

-at the same time.
