-Hello and a happy New Year.

-Welcome to the first Bore Da

-of 2016.

-I hope you all had

-a wonderful Christmas...

-..and that your first week

-back in work wasn't too painful!

-On today's programme,

-we'll look back and ahead.

-We discuss the crazes of 2015.

-I'll be joined by Gary Bevan...

-..who won the Eisteddfod's

-Welsh Learner of the Year.

-Llinos Lee discusses the rugby

-player, Mike Phillips' future.

-We'll end the programme with a song

-from the performer, Arwel Lloyd.

-# Knowing there's a tomorrow

-is good enough for me

-# Sleep tight tonight

-# I'm right by your side #

-Sit back and enjoy Bore Da.

-First, we're heading to Mold

-in North-East Wales.

-A new centre recently opened

-its doors in the town.

-The centre's aim is to encourage

-more people to learn Welsh.

-More people than ever are

-learning Welsh in the Clwyd Valley.

-I've come to Mold

-to see what's happening here.

-We've been at Ty Pendre Newydd

-in Mold since August.

-We have 21 classes...

-..and around 230 people

-attend the classes weekly.

-We teach complete learners

-and those who are nearly fluent.

-In some classes, Welsh speakers

-and learners join forces.

-I live in Chester but

-I'm originally from Stoke-on-Trent.

-I decided to learn Welsh

-eight years ago...

-..because my partner

-is originally from Anglesey.

-I wanted to speak Welsh

-with my family.

-I work for

-Flintshire County Council.

-I got the opportunity

-to learn Welsh.

-I's something

-I had wanted to do for years.

-I'm very happy

-to learn the language.

-I learnt Welsh at school but

-my family weren't Welsh-speakers.

-After retiring...

-..I wanted to learn Welsh.

-It's not only the students

-who learn the language.

-Their tutor has also learnt Welsh.

-I'm originally from Leeds.

-I moved to live in Dolgellau.

-That's where I met my husband.

-I decided to learn Welsh as he's

-a Welsh-speaker from a Welsh family.

-I attended an evening class and

-gradually, I learnt the language.

-What about the new year?

-Do the students have resolutions?

-I never usually make resolutions.

-However, this year...

-..I aim to run ten miles every week.

-I want to speak Welsh fluently.

-I don't understand

-when people speak very quickly...

-..but I try my best.

-He host numerous events

-and today, we had a quiz.

-We try to organize lots of events...

-..to get the learners

-out into the community.

-In Mold, we're very lucky that Welsh

-speakers like to welcome learners.

-Thanks to everyone

-for their welcome.

-Good luck with those

-New Year's resolutions.

-The year 2015 has come to an end.

-Another year has flown by.

-I wonder if you noticed

-the year's crazes.

-How many of these following gadgets

-did you receive in your stocking?

-Without a doubt, 2015

-was the year of the selfie stick.

-The selfie stick allows you

-to mount your phone...

-..on the end of a stick.

-It can be extended

-like a Telescope...

-..to include more of the background

-in your photos.

-Everyone at Pobol y Cwm

-enjoys taking selfies.

-Certain actors

-enjoy posing more than others.

-Hotpod yoga involves performing yoga

-in a heated room.

-The room has been heated

-to 37 degrees Celsius.

-The warmth stretches the muscles

-and it's a great place to relax.

-Hotpod yoga became popular in 2015

-as people tend to be very busy...

-..and want an effective workout

-where they work hard and sweat.

-Hotpod yoga is popular in Wales

-with sessions all over South Wales.

-We hope classes will also reach

-North Wales soon.

-The year, 2015

-was the year of hotpod yoga.

-A juicing machine...

-..turns fruit, vegetables

-or both into juice.

-The juicing gadget

-has become more popular recently.

-Juicing is a very easy way

-to consume lots of vitamins.

-For me,

-2015 was the year of juicing.

-Contouring is the use

-of different shades of make-up...

-..to highlight certain features

-and add more shape to the face.

-You can create high cheekbones which

-are often associated with beauty.

-You can also make your lips

-and eyes appear larger.

-Contouring makes the most

-of your face.

-There's been a rise

-in the sales of records.

-Sales have been increasing

-for many years...

-..but this year,

-sales jumped 57 percent.

-This is all thanks

-to the younger generation.

-When I was younger, records

-were seen as quite old-fashioned.

-The younger generation

-don't remember this stigma.

-Therefore,

-records are back in fashion.

-Some will argue that I'm obsessed

-and a hoarder of records.

-I should be on one those programmes

-like Britain's Worst Hoarders!

-A Nutribullet is a mix between

-a blender and juicer.

-It blends fruits and vegetables

-in very little time.

-It's compact, cool

-and very easy to use.

-One of my favourite recipes and

-one that's been popular this year...

-..is a drink that includes kale.

-Grab a handful of kale

-or any type of green cabbage.

-You could add water,

-coconut water...

-..or almond milk to the bullet.

-It's very simple to use.

-Screw on the top, pop on the machine

-and switch it on.

-You'll be able to make a tasty and

-nutritious drink in just seconds.

-The Nutribullet was certainly

-the most popular gadget of 2015.

-I'm sure that kale is good for you

-but I'll give it a miss!

-Last year was an important year

-for Mike Phillips.

-He decided to retire

-from international rugby.

-I wonder what the future holds

-for Mike Phillips.

-Llinos Lee went to learn more...

-..including about his hopes

-to find a wife.

-I decided to start

-by asking him about his decision...

-..to retire

-from international rugby.

-I've enjoyed it but I

-have to push on to the next stage.

-I hope to enjoy a season with Racing

-and whatever the future holds.

-Is it easier not having to worry

-about getting the call up?

-There's a lot of pressure

-on the shoulders of Welsh players.

-I hope to enjoy rugby now that

-I don't have that extra pressure.

-Recently, The Real Mike Phillips

-aired on BBC Wales.

-Your mother said

-that she wanted you to settle down.

-What type of woman are you searching

-for or have you already found her?

-There's one or two!

-I've finished international rugby...

-..so perhaps the next step

-is to find a girlfriend.

-You keep yourself busy by playing

-rugby and modelling.

-Do you have a special pose?

-Do you have a special pose?

-

-No, I'm just very natural.

-How will you celebrate the New Year?

-As Mike Phillips always celebrates,

-by having fun with my friends.

-I hope that next year

-is great for everyone.

-Thanks for chatting to us, Mike.

-Good luck in 2016

-and happy New Year.

-Joyeux Noel et bonne annee.

-Good luck to Mike.

-We hope he finds a girlfriend

-in 2016.

-After the break, we'll chat to

-the father and son from Merthyr...

-..Gary and Jamie Bevan.

-Many of you will recognise Gary...

-..as the 2015

-Welsh Learner of the Year.

-Elin Fflur reminisces about her

-unforgettable trip to Patagonia.

-# Beside the sea,

-you'll find my dearest

-# Who's in my mind, every minute #

-We also hear about a new mural...

-..that can be seen

-on Cardiff's most famous nightclub.

-Join me in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Before Christmas,

-we welcomed the father and son...

-..Gary and Jamie Bevan

-from Merthyr Tydfil to the studio

-Gary won the Welsh Learner of

-the Year at last year's Eisteddfod.

-His son, Jamie

-is a talented musician.

-They have an interesting

-family history...

-..and their story

-is an inspiration to us all.

-The language of the family

-used to be English...

-..but now you all speak Welsh.

-My parents decided to send my

-brother and I to a Welsh school...

-..despite the fact they couldn't

-speak the language back then.

-Our mother learnt Welsh

-when she was very young.

-She had started

-talking English to us...

-..so the language of the home

-continued to be English.

-It's very difficult

-to change the pattern.

-It's very common to stick

-to one language in the home.

-How did you break the habit?

-I'm ashamed to say...

-..that I didn't start speaking Welsh

-with my mother until I was 29.

-At the time,

-my son, Caio was a baby.

-My mother and I spoke Welsh to Caio

-but we spoke English to each other.

-That's when I realised that Caio

-would find it very strange.

-I worried that he'd consider Welsh

-to be a language for children.

-That's why we decided to change

-the language of our home.

-It was embarrassing,

-difficult and awkward.

-However, after a few weeks,

-it became natural.

-It's now become difficult

-to speak English with my mother.

-Gary, you're kept very active

-with the Canolfan Soar in Merthyr.

-We're lucky of the centre.

-It's a great help when it comes

-to improving my language.

-The crew within the centre always

-work through the medium of Welsh.

-The language of your home

-and workplace has changed.

-You also speak Welsh

-to your grandsons.

-They're called Taliesin and Ioan.

-Yes, it's very funny...

-..because they don't think that we

-can speak English anymore.

-It's quite humorous.

-That's how you started singing.

-It was an opportunity to spread the

-word about the language in Merthyr.

-It was just another way

-to showcase the language.

-That's why I started singing

-because I never used to be a singer.

-I considered it a way of taking

-the language out to the community.

-Music is universal

-and it's an incredible weapon.

-That was very interesting.

-If you would like to compete in this

-year's Welsh Learner of Year...

-..you can find details

-on how to compete on the website...

-..www.eisteddfod.org.uk

-You still have

-plenty of time to compete.

-The competition is open

-until the end of March.

-Good luck to you.

-The year 2015 was an important year

-in Patagonia...

-..as they celebrate 150 years...

-..since the Welsh sailed over

-in search of a better life.

-Elin Fflur was invited

-to join the celebrations.

-She received a very warm welcome and

-enjoyed her time with the residents.

-Agricultural land

-lies a few miles outside Gaiman...

-..and the Coetmor Farm,

-run by Aidel Griffiths' family.

-Hello, how are you?

-Hello, how are you?

-

-I'm very well.

-It's great to be here.

-How are you?

-Let's go and sit by the fire.

-It's wonderful to be on your farm,

-Aidel.

-How long have you been farming here?

-We've farmed here...

-..since my father bought

-this piece of Coetmor Farm.

-The land was dry and hard to manage

-when the Welsh first arrived here.

-Yes, it was very tough.

-They didn't have any trenches

-so they had to do it all.

-The brambles had to be removed

-and burnt so they could build farms.

-I suspect it was

-a very difficult time.

-We have to do a lot of watering

-or we won't get any produce.

-I'm very thankful for the water.

-The Chubut River has always been

-important to the Welsh...

-..especially in building trenches

-to water the land.

-These helped the Welsh

-to grow their crops and survive.

-What do you farm?

-We're currently growing hay...

-..but we have kept animals

-and grown potatoes in the past.

-You don't work on the farm any more

-but come back every day.

-Yes, because I love this place.

-There's always a neighbour

-who calls in wanting a tot of mate!

-Which part of Wales

-is your family from?

-Nain came from Llanuwchllyn where

-the family farmed at Ddol Fawr.

-Taid owned Llain Las farm.

-He purchased his farm in 1902.

-Do you socialize

-using the Welsh language?

-No, not really.

-I did attend the Sunday School

-and various church services.

-The people outside the chapel

-are just as good as those inside it!

-There's an element of hypocrisy

-in everything.

-I think you understand what I mean.

-What's your opinion about the Welsh

-language in this part of Patagonia?

-I'm amazed that it has survived.

-My daughter understands the language

-but doesn't speak it.

-It will survive

-the next generation...

-..but not for another 50 years.

-Have you been to Wales?

-No, but I'd like to go for a week

-or a fortnight but no more.

-I don't like being in the same place

-for two months.

-You'd be feeling homesick

-for the farm.

-Yes, because

-there's no place like home!

-That's very true.

-Aidel enjoys coming to the farm

-for some mate...

-..and to play

-a popular Argentinean game.

-We play with horseshoes.

-Would you like a game?

-You can show me how to play

-while I take a sip of the mate.

-You like that!

-You need to get as close as possible

-to the iron steak.

-Is this a popular game?

-Is this a popular game?

-

-Yes, it is.

-When do you usually play?

-I often play here but it's played

-at the Mimosa Landing Celebrations.

-They play it to pass the time

-in the afternoon.

-It's bitter.

-It's bitter.

-

-Yes, it's very bitter.

-Off you go.

-Was that any good?

-Was that any good?

-

-Not bad.

-It was hopeless.

-It was hopeless.

-

-You'll learn.

-You need more practice.

-Stick to the singing!

-Do you sing, Aidel?

-Do you sing, Aidel?

-

-Yes, I do.

-# On the seashore,

-there are red roses

-# On the seashore,

-there are lovely lilies

-# On the seashore

-is my own sweetheart

-# Sleeping at night,

-getting up in the morning #

-Well done, Aidel.

-Elin had an incredible time.

-How many of you

-have heard of Gwenno Saunders?

-Gwenno is a singer from Cardiff.

-She won the Best Album of the Year

-in Wales in 2015.

-Gwenno often performs at one of

-Cardiff's most famous nightclubs...

-..Clwb Ifor Bach.

-You can now spot Gwenno at Clwb

-Ifor Bach, every hour of every day.

-That's because she features

-on a giant mural.

-Behind me, the mural

-shows Gwenno Saunders.

-It's based on the artwork

-of her latest album, Y Dydd Olaf.

-The album won this year's

-Welsh Music Prize best album award.

-# Pes gwelsenn a dyv war ann bryn?

-# Pes eur ry niversoz dhyn? #

-The idea of painting Gwenno

-came from the Get it Right campaign.

-It's a British campaign

-to encourage people...

-..to download music, films

-and programmes from legal websites.

-The campaign hopes

-to raise awareness, promote...

-..and show that we should respect

-the UK's creative industry.

-I enjoy seeing the artworks

-around Cardiff.

-Over the past few years, this street

-has been turned into a centre...

-..for exciting and new art, fashion,

-culinary and music projects.

-Clwb has also been at the heart...

-..of the creative industries

-in Cardiff for over 30 years.

-It looks great.

-If you're in Cardiff, visit

-Womanby Street to see the mural.

-After the break...

-..we'll speak to a man from Essex

-who's learnt Welsh.

-We'll look back

-at the most popular words of 2015.

-Huw Fash also looks for a bargain

-in the sales.

-Don't go far.

-Welcome back.

-Every Tuesday on Prynhawn Da...

-..a guest is welcomed

-to the studio...

-..to discuss three of their

-most treasured possessions.

-This week, it was the turn

-of Dr Talat Chaudhri from Essex.

-His story is very interesting.

-I was born and raised in Essex.

-I come from a half-Punjabi

-or half-Pakistani background.

-I studied history at Oxford.

-After graduating, I came

-to study Welsh at Aberystwyth.

-I did my Masters and PhD

-with the Welsh Department.

-You've stayed in Aberystwyth since.

-You've stayed in Aberystwyth since.

-

-Yes, I decided to stay.

-Your first treasures

-reveal your family history.

-There's a hat and photograph

-of your father.

-The photograph was taken many

-years ago when he was in his 50s.

-He was born in the old India...

-..before the Partition of India.

-He moved to Britain in the 1950s...

-..and I was born in the 1970s.

-He passed away in 2008.

-I was raised in Essex by a

-half-Pakistani half-English family.

-Why did your father move to Britain?

-He first came to work

-in the docks at Glasgow.

-He worked in several places

-on his way down...

-..to London, Kent and Essex.

-He was an actor for a while.

-He was also in the RAF.

-He did a little bit of everything.

-Yes, just like me!

-That brings us neatly

-to your move to Aberystwyth.

-Your second treasure

-is the dictionary and Welsh books.

-Why did you decide to learn Welsh

-and when did you first hear it?

-I first heard the Welsh language

-when I was on a family holiday.

-It's difficult to explain

-but my first interest started...

-..when I spotted

-unusual place names...

-..when I was on holiday

-in Tresaith in Cardigan Bay.

-Since then, I always had

-an interest in languages.

-That's why I decided to learn Welsh.

-How long did it take you

-and how did you learn the language?

-Lots of people think that some

-languages are difficult to learn.

-However, I didn't find Welsh

-very difficult to master.

-I learnt Russian and French

-whilst as school.

-I've lost my Russian but I

-can still speak a little French.

-I started learning Welsh

-by reading books at Oxford.

-Afterwards, I enrolled

-on Lampeter's eight-week course.

-Unfortunately,

-the course has ended...

-..but it was a fantastic way

-to learn the language.

-It was a successful course as

-people learnt the language quickly.

-You've become a Welsh tutor.

-Yes, I did become a tutor

-but I no longer teach any classes.

-I've been teaching Breton through

-the Welsh medium at Nant Gwrtheyrn.

-It's a famous centre

-for the Welsh language.

-Nowadays, they also offer

-other services.

-I'm the chairperson of

-the Wales-Brittany society.

-There has been a connection

-between Wales and Brittany...

-..for many years.

-You have a great interest

-in languages and linguistic history.

-I studied for my doctorate...

-..at the Welsh Department

-of the Old College.

-I studied historical

-and comparative linguistics.

-I concentrated on the history of

-sounds from the Cornish language...

-..which sounds very similar

-to the Welsh language.

-How many languages do you speak?

-I can only speak Welsh and English!

-That's a question

-that everyone asks a linguist!

-I can speak Welsh fluently.

-I don't speak much

-of my father's languages.

-Punjabi is the

-indigenous language...

-..and Urdu is the language of the

-upper classes in India and Pakistan.

-I don't speak much

-of those languages.

-I speak a little Gaelic and

-basic phrases in other languages.

-I'm only truly fluent in Welsh,

-Breton and French, at a push!

-You're a fantastic linguist.

-Let's move on to your final treasure

-which is this piece of wood.

-It shows the

-Aberystwyth Coat of Arms.

-It shows the date, 1277...

-..which dates far back

-in Welsh history.

-That's when Aberystwyth...

-..received its first charter.

-I'm a town councillor in Aberystwyth

-and that's why I brought this.

-That was fantastic.

-Talat's story

-is an inspiration to us all.

-Every year, new words

-are added to the dictionary.

-One of the most famous new words

-is selfie!

-Let's remind ourselves

-of the new words of 2015.

-2015 was a year of many new words.

-Some of them made us chuckle

-such as 'dad-bod'.

-I've got a dad-bod! A father with a

-round belly. Or, 'dad-bol' in Welsh.

-We also have the 'lumbersexual'.

-These are young men who grow beards

-and wear check shirts...

-..to look trendy.

-In a year of political change,

-the term 'Corbynomics' was coined.

-It refers to

-a political individual...

-..who supports Jeremy Corbyn's

-economic policies.

-Transsexual or transgender...

-..are popular terms

-thanks to Caitlin Jenner.

-'Refugee' is centuries old...

-..but is in the spotlight again

-due to the current global situation.

-# Lifeless words awaken our souls #

-The people behind the

-Concise Oxford Dictionary...

-..have opted for something

-that isn't even a word.

-They refer to 'pictograms' which are

-symbols that convey your feelings.

-They'll often be used in

-text or online messages.

-An 'emoticon'

-refers to an emotion...

-..that's conveyed

-via small yellow facial icons.

-'Binge-watch'

-topped the Collins list this year.

-It refers to the popularity

-of new devices such as Netflix.

-It enables you can spend hours

-watching a complete TV series.

-The word of 2016...?

-The world has changed in 2015...

-..so maybe the word for next year

-is 'Jihadydd' or 'Jihadwyr'

-Reality TV has made the term,

-'On Fleek' popular...

-..which means extremely good,

-stylish or perfect.

-You could say that this dress

-is on fleek.

-Don't forget

-to binge-watch Dal Ati anytime!

-You can watch us back

-online and on-demand.

-Next,

-our fashion expert, Huw Fash...

-..has been looking

-for bargains in the sales.

-The Boxing Day Sales are famous.

-However, the sales now start

-long before Christmas.

-Therefore, you no longer consider it

-a Boxing Day Sale bargain.

-These days, there's often 30% off.

-Therefore, you must rethink

-your shopping habits.

-I've set myself a challenge

-of finding an outfit for under 50.

-I have achieved this

-and managed to buy shows too.

-Ruby's entire outfit has cost

-nearly exactly 50.

-That's an incredible price

-as it looks like a designer outfit.

-You must shop in the right stores

-to find high-quality clothes.

-You can find clothes

-that are unusual in T K Maxx.

-That's the best place to go

-for this sort of outfit.

-The first thing I do in T K Maxx

-is head for the clearance rails.

-When looking at the clearance,

-you'll find unusual garments...

-..or unknown brands and labels.

-This Christmas, they stocked clothes

-by Katharine Hamnett.

-In the 1990s, people would've killed

-for a Katharine Hamnett outfit!

-Let's look at the prices.

-The hat was 5

-and the waistcoat was 10.

-The prices are still intact.

-The dress costs 19

-and the shoes were a bargain.

-I wasn't looking forward to finding

-shoes as they can be expensive.

-However, these boots were 22.

-They're made by Diesel and were

-originally retailed at over 100.

-I asked at the till if there

-was anything else off the shoes.

-I thought that I'd have to go

-over budget...

-..but they had actually come down

-to 15.

-I love it when that happens!

-I love it when that happens!

-

-It's the greatest surprise.

-You have to keep quiet just in case

-they've made a mistake!

-London Fashion Week

-takes place in February...

-..and this outfit

-wouldn't look out of place.

-It's wonderful.

-Next, we have Tania.

-I've been shopping on the

-high street for this outfit.

-I've been shopping in Outfit

-for these clothes.

-In Outfit, you'll find collections

-from the high street stores.

-There isn't much choice

-as the larger stores.

-It's a great shop

-if you're short of time.

-There are hopeless sales

-at the moment.

-There are so many clothes left

-and the rails are endless.

-It's even worse than T K Maxx

-because there isn't as much choice.

-The new collections are also

-scattered around the shop.

-You have to walk around the shop

-to find the best buys.

-I've decided

-to showcase this jacket...

-..because it's down to 50 from 95.

-Our Prynhawn Da viewers

-will recognize the coat...

-..as it appeared on a makeover slot

-on the programme.

-Tania is wearing a denim dress

-that will never go out of fashion.

-It's down from 42 to 20.

-The bag is from New Look

-and it costs 19.99.

-The bag will take you

-into the next season.

-It's ideal for work

-or to use at the weekends.

-The fur on the coat is removable.

-Christine looks like

-she's going on holiday.

-Christine

-has spent her Christmas in Spain!

-When you're looking for bargains,

-it doesn't have to be in the sale.

-I like to buy out of season.

-T K Maxx currently stock

-these suitcases.

-They're at the front of the shop

-which means they want to sell them.

-Nobody thinks of buying new cases

-just after Christmas.

-These are wonderful cases

-as they're from famous brands.

-You can match every case

-and look very stylish.

-Look at the prices!

-There's a simple bag with a strap at

-the bag to attach to the suitcase.

-It will fit neatly

-over the suitcase handle.

-These are perfect

-for your skiing holiday, Llinos.

-It's important buy out of season

-at the start of January.

-When you spot a bargain, buy it.

-Thanks for those ideas, Huw.

-It's important to buy out of season.

-After the break, we meet

-the tallest giraffe in Britain.

-Arwel Lloyd and Hannah Morgan

-will also perform for us.

-Welcome back.

-In 2015, we marked 100 years...

-..since the birth of the

-Llangrannog author, T Llew Jones.

-Aneirin Karadog, the Welsh-language

-Children's Poet Laureate...

-..has been looking back

-at the celebrations.

-# Heroes, you won't find better

-than the heroes of T Llew Jones #

-As an early 1990s pupil of Ysgol

-Pont Sion Norton, Pontypridd...

-..we were visited by the Children's

-Poet Laureate, T Llew Jones.

-The memory of that day

-is still alive in my mind today.

-During the centenary celebrations, a

-plaque was unveiled in Pentrecwrt...

-..in memory of the local man

-who did so much for the nation.

-Dirgelwch yr Ogof.

-Dirgelwch yr Ogof.

-

-Tan ar y Comin.

-The bell rings, we end a chapter

-and they always want to hear more.

-"One evening, they heard

-but the cold hoot of an owl."

-There's adventure in his books.

-"He entered the dark and quiet

-caravan and shook like a leaf."

-# Happy birthday to you #

-On his 90th birthday,

-the ever-popular author...

-..was eager to share his secrets.

-The children often ask me

-if the stories are true.

-How do you answer

-a question like that?

-I've found the answer and I reveal

-that the stories are true to me!

-During the celebrations, his stories

-came to life in many Welsh schools.

-Hundreds of children

-descended on the National Library...

-..to learn about

-the author and poet.

-Dirgelwch Plas Cwm Tywyll

-is my favourite.

-One night when the moon was bright.

-His stories also came to life thanks

-to the Arad Goch theatre company...

-..who staged one of his

-classic stories.

-Faster and faster!

-We've chosen four stories from the

-fantastic volume, Lleuad yn Olau...

-..and we've staged them.

-Who am I? What's my name?

-The way he put the stories together

-makes the books real page-turners.

-You're eager to continue reading

-and can picture the characters.

-In a story which could belong

-to a mystery book...

-..came the largest celebration

-of the year.

-Eira, his lost daughter got to meet

-her brothers for the first time.

-Hello! We've finally come.

-It has been

-an incredible year for me.

-We've come together

-and managed to get on well.

-I've also learnt about my father

-because I didn't know him before.

-The world knows our family history.

-You have double the trouble

-in your life now.

-We've been fed and cut

-many celebration cakes together.

-We're very happy that everyone has

-included Eira in the celebrations...

-..and it was an honour for us

-as she's a special person.

-After the celebration,

-a new chapter will begin.

-We'll be seeing much more

-of each other.

-T Llew Jones!

-That was a wonderful item.

-Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire

-hopes to break a record soon.

-The farm believes that Zulu the

-Giraffe is the tallest in Britain.

-Our cameras have been to meet Zulu.

-Zulu has joined us at Folly Farm

-and received a lot of attention.

-Zulu's front door is 20-feet-tall...

-..and he measures around 19 feet.

-Zulu has settled in superbly

-and he's 13 years old.

-Every day,

-he eats 20 kilograms of hay...

-..and three kilograms of solids.

-The zoo keepers and the team

-at Folly Farm...

-..refer and compare him to the BFG.

-He's big and really friendly.

-Zulu has a wonderful character...

-..and has enjoyed the fuss

-that he's received from everyone.

-We will measure Zulu to find out if

-he's the tallest giraffe in Britain.

-If you live in the area and

-are looking for something to do...

-..you could go and visit Zulu.

-We've come to the end of the first

-programme of 2016.

-Thanks for your company.

-I'll return

-at the same time next week.

-Until then,

-keep practising your Welsh.

-It's important to have a go

-and have fun whilst doing so.

-Enjoy Arwel Lloyd and Hannah Morgan

-performing Gwybod Bod Na 'Fory.

-Good morning to you.

-# The day has come to an end

-and I'm drawing the curtains

-# The cold February moon

-throws patterns on the floor

-# As I lay my head to sleep

-on a cold pillow

-# I'll see your face

-in the fading moonlight

-# Knowing that there's a tomorrow

-is good enough for me

-# Sleep tight tonight

-# I'm right by your side

-# Look out the window,

-the stars are everywhere

-# Look again, I'm in their midst

-# A shooting star falls

-and sneaks through the curtain

-# To watch over you

-until the night ends

-# Knowing that there's a tomorrow

-is good enough for me

-# Sleep tight tonight

-# I'm right by your side

-INSTRUMENTAL

-# The melody of an old lullaby

-fills the black void

-# The melody I sung a hundred times

-to soothe your fears

-# There's a whisper on the wind

-that there's nothing to worry about

-# Tonight's lullaby

-is a comfort to us both

-# Knowing that there's a tomorrow

-is good enough for me

-# Sleep tight tonight

-# I'm right by your side

-# Tomorrow, a beautiful rainbow

-will fill the empty hours

-# The lonely owl's cries

-will be silenced in the valley

-# But until tomorrow comes,

-I'll wrap my arms tightly around you

-# Like a cosy blanket around you,

-until the morning arrives

-# Knowing that there's a tomorrow

-is good enough for me

-# Sleep tight tonight

-# I'm right by your side

-# Knowing that there's a tomorrow

-is good enough for me

-# Sleep tight tonight

-# I'm right by your side #
