-Hello and it's a warm welcome

-to Bore Da.

-There's only a week until Christmas.

-If you're fed up

-with all the shopping...

-..put your feet up

-and enjoy the next hour.

-On today's programme, Owain Gwynedd

-ventures into the ring...

-..to meet a Welshman who's making

-his name in the wrestling world.

-We reveal the contents

-of the Christmas stocking...

-..of the presenter, Lowri Morgan.

-Steff and Daf continue their trek

-and finally arrive at Base Camp.

-There's also Christmas music from

-Alistair James and Laura Sutton.

-Welcome, once again, to Bore Da.

-We start the programme at

-the Saith Seren centre in Wrexham.

-The centre is at the heart of

-the town's Welsh language events.

-We had an invitation

-to its biggest night of the year.

-I'm at the Saith Seren centre

-in Wrexham for a special evening.

-It's the Welsh learners'

-Christmas party.

-You might recall

-that I was here last year too!

-They didn't have to ask me twice

-so let's go in.

-The Clwb Clebran in Wrexham

-is a group for Welsh learners.

-We meet here every Monday night...

-..and try to practice

-speaking Welsh.

-A group of Welsh speakers join us

-and help us with our practice.

-Every week,

-we collect money voluntarily.

-This has paid for tonight's party.

-We're here again

-and spoke last year, Geraint.

-How important is Saith Seren to you?

-For me personally, Saith Seren

-is very important indeed.

-I get to come here every week

-on a Monday night...

-..to practice speaking Welsh.

-It's wonderful to meet people

-who are just like me...

-..and are learning to speak Welsh.

-It's busy

-as it's the Christmas party...

-..but the place is going from

-strength to strength every week.

-It's important for Welsh learners in

-the area to have a meeting place...

-..where we can all practice

-speaking Welsh.

-This place is wonderful...

-..because a lot of Welsh speakers

-come here to help us.

-I think it's very important...

-..to take the language out of the

-classroom and into the community.

-I'm delighted to be joined

-by Lynn and Elaine...

-..who are members at Saith Seren.

-How long have you been

-learning Welsh?

-I started learning Welsh

-in September of last year.

-I went on a course

-to be a teaching assistant.

-At the end of that course,

-I decided to learn Welsh...

-..so I came here

-and am in college too...

-..and it's brilliant.

-What about you?

-I started learning Welsh

-about two years ago.

-Why did you decide to learn Welsh

-in the first place?

-Why not?

-It's very important for me

-to continue learning.

-The people here are fantastic.

-They chat with me,

-answer any questions that I have...

-..and help me a lot.

-It's great!

-How important is Saith Seren...

-..to people who want

-to learn to speak Welsh?

-I think it's very important...

-..to practice speaking Welsh

-with the people here.

-It's important

-and helps us to learn new words...

-..and practice

-speaking the language.

-It's our aim to attract

-more Welsh learners...

-..to use Saith Seren

-as a Welsh centre.

-We want them to use the language...

-..in a natural environment

-outside the classroom.

-Thanks to everyone for such

-a warm welcome again this year.

-I love going

-to the Saith Seren Christmas party.

-Do you need some inspiration...

-..on what to buy the men

-in your lives for Christmas?

-We've got just the thing.

-Huw has a Santa's sack

-full of gift ideas for you.

-There's plenty of gifts

-for the men in your life...

-..either husbands,

-boyfriends, sons and brothers.

-The best thing is to check the list

-of the top five popular gifts...

-..that are bought for men.

-If you want something Hot and Spicy

-or something more conservative...

-..you should buy now.

-Every man has had a shirt

-for Christmas or on a birthday.

-You can make it

-a bit more special...

-..by spending more on a shirt

-from a famous label.

-I'm sure every man

-will appreciate it.

-I hate getting socks at Christmas.

-It doesn't show any imagination

-and is very boring!

-But these days,

-socks have made a comeback...

-..because all the designers

-are selling some quality socks.

-A pair of these designer socks

-are great!

-How many of you men have got it

-completely wrong on Christmas Day...

-..and bought the worst underwear

-for your ladies?

-Ladies, this is your chance

-to buy some underwear for your men.

-He might get a shock whilst you get

-a surprise on Christmas morning!

-Pyjamas and a dressing gown

-are always a safe option for gifts.

-You can't go wrong with something

-that has a classic shape...

-..in a comfortable fabric, with a

-simple cut and a colour to suit all.

-We all like a bit of fun

-at Christmas.

-Many men have been given an ugly

-jumper knitted by a family member...

-..or a Christmas jumper

-with a funny pattern.

-These days,

-you can be more tasteful...

-..with a Christmas t-shirt

-and even a sweatshirt.

-Next, we step back in time...

-..to the golden age of wrestling

-in Wales.

-There was a time

-when the sport was very popular...

-..thanks to characters, such as

-El Bandito and programmes on S4C.

-At that time, Owain Gwynedd was an

-innocent boy and a fan of wrestling.

-He was delighted to get

-an early Christmas present...

-..and be sent to the ring

-in the Gwendraeth Valley...

-..to meet one

-of Wales's best wrestlers.

-Wrestling was a very popular sport

-in Wales and on S4C...

-..in the 1980s and 1990s.

-It was even popular in my home.

-Yes, that is me!

-Wrestling is having

-a bit of a revival.

-I'm at Tumble Hall to meet those

-who are partly responsible for this.

-CHEERING AND JEERING

-Welsh Wrestling travels across

-Britain with its wrestling shows.

-One of the stars

-is Gethin 'Kid Cymru' Williams.

-I was a fan of wrestling on S4C.

-Orig, Gary Welsh and Boston Blackie

-took on the biggest names around.

-It's over 32 years

-since wrestling has been on S4C.

-I remember meeting

-some bizarre characters...

-..and lovely, dedicated people.

-There were iconic characters, male

-and female, who the audience loved.

-There was Orig, of course.

-You had Tony Star,

-a blond-haired favourite...

-..and Rollerball Rocco.

-Giant Haystacks was that big...

-..that he slept in

-the changing rooms between fights.

-Klondyke Kate was huge

-but was such a gentle character.

-She left her newborn baby in the

-changing room to go and wrestle.

-A lot of the young kids

-who come here love wrestling.

-They know who we are.

-They know when we are in town

-and look forward to our visits.

-A lot of the parents

-remember Orig and Barri...

-..and saw them when they were young.

-Everyone looks forward

-to us coming to town.

-Come on!

-Barri Griffiths, or Mason Ryan...

-..is one of the most successful

-Welsh wrestlers of recent years...

-..especially after

-he joined the American WWE in 2010.

-What was the appeal

-for the giant from Tremadog?

-I always enjoyed performing and

-being in front of a live audience.

-You were somewhere different and

-faced a new audience every night.

-I suspect that I have

-always been a performer...

-..but I just didn't know it!

-I started wrestling and found myself

-entertaining an audience...

-..and I loved it.

-I enjoy the competition.

-It's a fight and I love to compete.

-I didn't go straight into wrestling

-but started out with karate.

-After finishing with karate,

-I wanted a different challenge.

-That's when I contacted Alan.

-I came to a show

-and it all started from there.

-How would you feel about

-fighting Owain Gwynedd today?

-I can't wait!

-Make sure there's a doctor present

-and an ambulance waiting for you.

-As they say on C'mon Midffild,

-"give 'em hell!"

-In the red corner,

-Owain 'Lycra' Gwynedd.

-He is challenging the local hero,

-Kid Cymru.

-I don't know about you, but

-I know who my money is on tonight!

-Here we go, they grapple

-but who is the strongest?

-Kid Cymru twists Owain's wrist

-and he looks in pain.

-Kid Cymru is in full control

-of the bout.

-Owain is hurting and is thrown

-into the corner like a rag doll.

-Oh!

-Kid Cymru tries the body slam!

-I'm sure his back will be hurting

-in the morning.

-The bell sounds at the end

-of a pathetic effort from Owain.

-Kid Cymru hasn't even broken sweat!

-Mam?

-Don't worry,

-Owain did come back in one piece.

-That's all for now

-but when we return...

-..the presenter and adventurer,

-Lowri Morgan...

-..chats about the gifts

-that she'd like for Christmas.

-There's also the story of the film,

-I, Daniel Blake...

-..about dealing with poverty

-and despair.

-Join me in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Next, we enjoy an interview...

-..with the presenter and adventurer,

-Lowri Morgan.

-Lowri is currently

-appearing on S4C...

-..and tackling the three Welsh peaks

-in three days in the series, 3/3/3.

-Let's hear what she would like

-in her Christmas stocking.

-We welcome the presenter

-and adventurer, Lowri Morgan.

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-I'm very well, thank you.

-Thanks for having me.

-Later, you're going to be

-chatting about your series, 3/3/3.

-First, we want to know about the

-three gifts you'd like at Christmas.

-Was it difficult to pick the three

-things you'd like for Christmas?

-No, it wasn't very difficult because

-I don't want a lot of things.

-I'm very lucky...

-..and I don't need

-a lot of things in my life...

-..but I do think there's a lot

-of unhappiness in the world.

-At Christmas, we should look after

-the less fortunate.

-My ideal gift...

-..would be a huge sack of money

-for the charity, Cerebra.

-It's a charity for children

-with neurological problems...

-..that also helps the families

-whilst the child is recovering.

-I've been raising money for Cerebra

-during the 3/3/3 challenge...

-..and giving something more to the

-charity would make me very happy.

-Why did you choose that charity?

-I always support Welsh charities

-when I do my challenges.

-I managed to raise 20,000

-for Shelter Cymru.

-Cerebra is a small charity

-that is from Wales...

-..who are grateful

-for all the support that they get.

-I'm proud to be able

-to use my running...

-..to help those less fortunate

-than me.

-I'm also a mother and had

-a few issues when I had Gwilym...

-..so it's important to help those

-in a similar situation.

-Your first is a sack of money but

-the second gift is more personal.

-Yes, and you need to be selfish

-from time to time.

-I recently went to Peru

-to work on a documentary.

-I went to the Andes where I lived

-and met people who work in the area.

-This experience was very humbling.

-During this adventure, I looked

-after the most incredible animals.

-They are called vicunas.

-They are owned by the king.

-Nobody can hunt them

-as it's illegal to kill them.

-Their wool is so expensive.

-You're talking

-about 10,000 for a scarf!

-I'd like a hat and scarf.

-You want two things!

-It's never going to happen.

-I'm out and about all the time

-and would love a hat.

-I'm imagining that vicunas

-are something like a llama.

-They are the shape of a llama but

-their wool is very light and soft.

-They have massive, beautiful eyes.

-The programme is broadcast

-next year...

-..where you'll see me help

-the villagers to herd the animals.

-They shear these animals.

-They shear these animals.

-

-Yes, that's right.

-I hope you didn't do any shearing

-and ruined the fleece!

-I saw it all happen

-and it was a fantastic experience.

-I got to see them being released

-back into the wild...

-..so they could grow a new coat.

-You can only shear them

-once every three years.

-You've undertaken and completed

-a number of challenges in your time.

-Yes, just about!

-You face a new challenge

-which brings us to your third gift.

-Yes, and my heart is racing now.

-It's seven ultra marathons

-over seven days in seven continents.

-It is possible

-and one man has done it.

-I want to be the first woman and

-second person to do it in the world.

-You have to run an ultra marathon

-and travel to the next continent.

-Yes, and an ultra marathon

-is anything over 50km.

-It starts in Antarctica because it's

-the most difficult place to reach...

-..then I hope to fly

-to South America...

-..before travelling

-to North America, Europe...

-..Asia and Africa.

-And I've forgotten the last place.

-It's Australia.

-I'll finish in Australia.

-You'll do all that in a week.

-Where will you sleep?

-Where will you sleep?

-

-On the aeroplane!

-It'll be my biggest challenge

-in terms of eating and sleeping.

-I think that

-there's a 15-hour-break...

-..as I cross the Atlantic Ocean...

-..and a break of two hours

-between Europe, Asia and Africa.

-When do you plan on doing this?

-There's five weeks to go!

-I'm currently raising money

-and trying to find sponsors.

-Everything is in place

-but I just need to find sponsors...

-..so that I can tick that box.

-What drives you, Lowri?

-Do you enjoy a night at home

-with your feet up?

-Yes, I love it.

-I'm happier sitting down...

-..knowing that I've done a run in

-the morning and can put my feet up.

-We enter a totally different field.

-Amidst the Christmas gifts...

-..millions will face

-another kind of reality.

-It's the reality

-of living in poverty...

-..that is portrayed in the latest

-film by the director, Ken Loach.

-Rhodri tells us more about

-I, Daniel Blake.

-Good morning, Mr Blake.

-I'm appointed to do assessments

-for employment support allowance.

-Can you walk more than 50m?

-Can you walk more than 50m?

-

-Yes.

-Can you raise either arm as if

-to put something in your top pocket?

-Yes.

-Are you medically qualified?

-I've had a major heart attack.

-The fiction is too close to fact to

-be comfortable but that's its aim.

-Ken Loach showcases the failure

-of the welfare system...

-..and the despair of those suffering

-from the restructure of the system.

-This is about the sick, unemployed,

-homeless and poverty-stricken.

-This world is a reality

-for thousands of people.

-We need an up-to-date CV

-to help you get work.

-In 1966, his film, Cathy Come Home

-got a lot of coverage.

-It's about a girl

-who falls in love...

-..gets married, has a baby

-and has to leave work.

-Her husband loses his job

-after an accident.

-You see their lives spiral out of

-control in poverty and unemployment.

-Some 50 years later, I, Daniel Blake

-tells exactly the same story...

-..but from a different perspective.

-We haven't moved on in 50 years

-and Ken Loach proves that fact.

-Cathy Come Home inspired the

-charities Shelter Cymru and Crisis.

-Fifty years later at the Shelter

-Cymru headquarters in Swansea...

-..the demand is on the increase.

-We shouldn't be here and it's tragic

-that we are needed more than ever.

-Last year,

-we helped 16,000 individuals...

-..who were faced with homelessness.

-One terrifying fact

-on the verge of Christmas...

-..is that over 1,100 children

-in Wales will be homeless.

-It could happen to anyone.

-It only takes one emergency...

-..to push someone down the slippery

-slope to being made homeless.

-It could be a redundancy,

-a long-term illness...

-..or broken relationships.

-The list goes on and on.

-The official statistics show...

-..that we're all three payslips away

-from being made homeless.

-In Port Talbot, the

-Christian worker, Bethan Davies...

-..has established one of the many

-hundred food banks in the country.

-In the last six months...

-..we've gone from seeing 20 to 30

-to seeing 40 to 50 people a week.

-You've seen for yourself

-that we get a lot of support.

-The support comes from

-both the young and old.

-We have the support and the food.

-The demand is just as high but

-we shouldn't have this in Britain.

-My grandmother ran the chapel house

-in the 1920s...

-..and had a soup kitchen

-for the poor.

-She said that she was grateful

-that it would never happen again...

-..but I'm afraid to say

-that it has happened again.

-They have to choose between

-paying for heating, food or shoes.

-It's a terrible

-and an awful situation.

-The charities and food banks

-are the conscience of the nation.

-They hope this film strikes at our

-conscience and causes a response.

-I, Daniel Blake was a worthy winner

-of the Palme d'Or at Cannes...

-..but people are very critical

-of it too.

-The Tories have been up in arms

-and claim that it's all untrue.

-Ken Loach stated

-that I, Daniel Blake...

-..is a snippet of the problems

-that people face today.

-It's a film about real life and

-many don't like knowing the reality.

-He could lose everything.

-I won't give up or you lose your

-self-respect. You're done for!

-It's time for another short break.

-When we return...

-..Daf Wyn and Steff complete

-their journey to Everest Base Camp.

-We also take a look

-at some of the 2017 calendars...

-..that raise money for charity.

-Don't you move a muscle!

-In recent weeks...

-..we've been following

-Daf Wyn and Steff...

-..on their journey

-to Everest Base Camp.

-The adventure

-is reaching its climax.

-Did they reach the foot

-of the world's highest mountain?

-Our journey from Kathmandu to

-Everest Base Camp was near its end.

-After two days at Dingboche,

-we set our sights on Laboche.

-We were struck by the stark change

-in the landscape as we climbed.

-The trees and plants

-made way for a very bare terrain.

-The stony path led to a sight

-that was very sobering.

-This place has memorials for those

-who lost their lives on Everest.

-The most well-known is Scott Fischer

-who died on Everest in 1996.

-Walking around and reading

-the messages from the families...

-..sends shivers down your spine as

-they chose to place the stones here.

-We finally reached Laboche to walk

-on the world's highest glacier.

-Steff had told me so much about it

-that I expected a blanket of ice...

-..but this was when he told me that

-the ice was under all the rocks!

-Sorry, Daf but it's important

-in terms of global warming.

-The temperature

-dropped rapidly here.

-It was 4 degrees Celsius by 3.00pm

-and the night closed in around us.

-We've been very lucky and don't have

-any altitude sickness at the moment.

-No, touch wood!

-Let's hope

-it lasts through tomorrow.

-Yes, but tomorrow will be

-a long, 11-hour-day.

-We'll go up and come straight back.

-We'll be out of here!

-It's about 8.30pm and we're going

-to have a good night's sleep...

-..so that we're ready for Base Camp.

-Yes, bring it on!

-Goodnight, Steffan.

-Goodnight, Steffan.

-

-Goodnight, Dafydd.

-You can turn the lights off.

-Goodnight!

-It's 6.00am so it's very early.

-Yes, but it's nice and fresh.

-We're starting our way to Base Camp.

-It's going to take...

-..too long!

-It'll take about three hours.

-But at least we can pelt it down

-all the way back.

-We'll be down in no time at all.

-Laboche was about 4,920m

-above the sea level...

-..and Base Camp

-would take us up to 5,364m.

-It's the highest we've ever climbed.

-The scenery around us

-is totally and completely epic.

-We can just about see Everest.

-Wales has quite a lot of links

-with Everest.

-The English name of Everest

-comes from a Welshman.

-He was George Everest

-from Crickhowell.

-Just beneath Everest

-is a place called Western Cwm...

-..that was named by George Mallory.

-It's believed

-that he came here in 1921.

-He thought that

-the valleys in Everest...

-..were very similar

-to the valleys in Wales.

-This has been

-an unforgettable adventure.

-I don't know if I'll do it again

-but I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

-I'm feeling very proud

-to be here at the moment.

-I'm glad we made this journey.

-We've arrived!

-Finally.

-Hallelujah!

-There it is.

-Base Camp!

-We have arrived.

-Oh!

-We've bought Everest beer

-especially for this moment.

-Cheers, Steff!

-It's been one hell of a journey.

-Cheers to Everest Base Camp.

-It's time to go back

-and have a hot shower.

-Oh, yes... four days to get down.

-Let's go!

-We've seen some

-of the wonders of the world...

-..and experienced a totally

-different culture and way of life.

-We did Everest Base Camp!

-Eight days, an exciting flight...

-..over 5,000m

-and an unforgettable journey.

-Where next, Steff?

-Well done, lads on doing

-that inspirational journey.

-If you're still looking for ways

-to fill that Christmas stocking...

-..you could give someone a calendar.

-Many calendars

-have been produced this year...

-..with the proceeds

-going to good causes.

-Let's see some of them.

-The calendar is in aid of a cause

-that's important to the lads.

-It's to raise money

-for our close friend, Owen.

-It's gone down well.

-The photographs are worth seeing.

-It was great fun

-to do it with the lads.

-It's for a cause that means a lot to

-all the lads at the Cardiff Blues.

-Buy the Stay Strong For Ows

-calendar.

-We're raising money for

-Donna McClelland's cancer treatment.

-It isn't available on the NHS.

-A group of us chose to raise money

-for Donna.

-The calendars are 7

-from Siop Na-Nog and in Pwllheli.

-We wanted a raise money in order

-to twin the town of Llanfairfechan.

-We are twinned with Plumelec

-in North Brittany.

-We have sold out

-and printed extra copies...

-..and made a profit of 800 so far.

-The calendar is to raise money...

-..for the Special Care Baby Unit

-and Ty Enfys at Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-The reason is that my friend

-had a baby in September.

-It was nine weeks early

-and spent a month at the units.

-This is a small thank you

-for looking after them so well.

-We're also asking people

-to take a selfie, shelfie or elfie.

-It's a picture of the calendar

-as a selfie...

-..on a shelf in a selfie format

-or with an elf.

-This year, we were celebrating

-140 years of Cardigan RFC.

-We wanted to have activities

-that connected with the community...

-..to raise the profile of the club,

-celebrate and raise money.

-We've decided to support

-Cardigan swimming pool.

-Once the money has been collected...

-..we plan to help young people

-and our youth teams.

-This is in memory of my friend,

-Llyr.

-I took the photos

-and Gomer assembled it.

-We've also had sponsors

-to bring costs down.

-Local people and businesses

-have sponsored the calendar.

-The pictures are of Wales

-and one holiday snap of Cornwall.

-They are basically photos

-of places I like to visit.

-I would love you to buy the calendar

-and all profits go to Mind Cymru.

-Bro Dyfi YFC have had a lot of fun

-making a nude calendar.

-We had the idea a few years ago

-to raise money for the club.

-The lads were willing to take part

-but all the women refused.

-The best photo is the January one

-at Pont-ar-Ddyfi Bridge.

-We were there at 6.00am and a few

-cars and lorries tooted their horns.

-All the profits go to the

-Wales Air Ambulance and to our club.

-In the final part

-of today's programme...

-..we hear about

-some Christmas traditions.

-They make a vegetarian dish

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-There's a Christmas song from

-Alistair James and Laura Sutton.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Have you ever wondered

-why we put up a tree...

-..or eat turkey

-or hang up some mistletoe?

-Many of the traditions associated

-with Christmas are centuries old.

-Ieuan tells us about Christmas cards

-and singing carols.

-Buying and sending Christmas cards

-is a big business.

-It all started in 1843

-by a man called Sir Henry Cole...

-..who helped to establish

-the Post Office.

-He wanted the service to be used

-more effectively by normal people.

-He came up with the idea

-of the Christmas card.

-He designed the first card...

-..with his artist friend,

-John Horseley.

-They sold it for a shilling

-or 5p in today's money.

-At that time,

-a shilling was a lot of money.

-About 1,000 were produced

-and they are very rare today...

-..and fetch

-thousands of pounds each!

-By 1870, Christmas cards

-became more popular...

-..with the cost of postage

-falling from 1p to a halfpenny.

-These first cards

-often depicted the Nativity...

-..but robins and snow scenes were

-popular by the end of the century.

-Those scenes on Christmas cards

-remain popular to this day.

-Merry Christmas!

-That's lovely.

-The first carols were sung in Europe

-thousands of years ago...

-..but they were pagan songs

-as opposed to Christmas carols.

-They were sung to celebrate

-the Winter Solstice...

-..as people danced around rocks

-in a circle.

-The original meaning of the word

-'carol' is to dance to something.

-Over time, the meaning developed...

-..to refer to a song or dance

-in joyful praise.

-Carols were originally written and

-performed during the four seasons.

-Singing them at Christmas

-is the only tradition to survive.

-Early Christians adopted the pagan

-Winter Solstice celebrations...

-..and sang religious songs

-instead of pagan ones.

-# O come, let us adore Him #

-Singing Christmas carols became

-very popular in the Victorian era.

-Many new carols were composed

-and are still sung to this day.

-Merry Christmas!

-Preparations

-for the Christmas dinner continue.

-Many opt for vegetarian

-or vegan dishes for the festival...

-..so Nerys Howell has a wreath of

-chestnuts, mushrooms and parsnip.

-A wreath of chestnuts,

-mushrooms and parsnip.

-Enjoy!

-I'm making a wreath of chestnuts,

-mushrooms and parsnip.

-These are seasonal ingredients that

-are readily available at the moment.

-This recipe

-is also suitable for vegans...

-..as well as vegetarians.

-I have started.

-I've fried four finely chopped

-shallots and four cloves of garlic.

-These have been fried

-in a little oil.

-I've also added chestnut mushrooms.

-You need about 500g

-and they should be finely chopped.

-Cook these

-and add a touch of butter.

-Fat is good for us and a knob

-of butter won't do us any harm.

-Next, we add the herbs.

-I'm using rosemary and thyme.

-These are from the garden

-and thrive in winter.

-Are those fresh herbs?

-Are those fresh herbs?

-

-Yes, that's right.

-You need a handful or a tablespoon

-of finely chopped herbs.

-These are left to cook.

-I want to give it a bit of a kick

-with some chilli.

-The chilli is optional but I'm using

-a teaspoon of chilli flakes.

-When we arrived

-in the studio earlier...

-..it was full of smells of Christmas

-with all these ingredients.

-I've also added a splash of sherry.

-Everyone has a bottle of sherry

-in the house over Christmas!

-I added the sherry

-and brought it to the boil.

-It has evaporated

-and been absorbed by the mushrooms.

-This mixture is ready.

-We can move to the next stage

-of the cooking process.

-You need to place half of

-this mixture in the food processor.

-We're going to blitz it

-until it's quite smooth.

-Keep the other half as it is

-to add some texture and crunch.

-We want some pieces of mushrooms

-and the other ingredients.

-At Christmas, there is so much

-emphasis on the meat...

-..whether it's turkey or goose...

-..but vegetarians also want

-something rich and unusual.

-Yes, and there's

-nothing wrong with that.

-This does take some preparation...

-..but the same is true

-for stuffing a turkey!

-Next, I'm adding some chestnuts.

-You can buy these

-ready-baked in a pack.

-I've also got 200g of mixed nuts

-that have been toasted.

-I've kept half of them

-and chopped them quite finely...

-..and put the other half

-in the food processor.

-That's all I want in there for now.

-I love a chestnut stuffing.

-I enjoy eating them raw or roasted.

-We saw some earlier.

-More and more people are

-selling them on street corners now.

-That will do for now.

-You can leave it for longer

-so that it's smoother.

-This is added to the bowl.

-This doesn't want to come out.

-You've lost your spoon!

-You also need some breadcrumbs.

-I use about five slices of bread.

-I prefer to use wholemeal bread.

-I'd say that you need

-about 200g of breadcrumbs.

-I've also got some wild mushrooms.

-These were dried

-but were left to soak.

-These were meant to go

-in the food processor.

-We'll pretend that you did that!

-They can go in whole.

-You would blitz them on the day.

-What were those soaked in?

-They were soaked in hot water.

-They plump up and absorb the water.

-Add the remainder of the chestnuts

-and some parsley.

-There's a lot of ingredients.

-You need them to add flavour.

-You need them to add flavour.

-

-Yes, exactly.

-Add the remainder of the nuts

-and about 100g of cranberries.

-I think you need a bigger bowl!

-Yes, because this will need

-a lot of mixing.

-Don't forget to season it

-with salt and pepper.

-You need plenty of salt as there's

-a lot of breadcrumbs and parsnips...

-..and I haven't used

-the salted variety of nuts.

-Parsnips are quite sweet too.

-Yes, exactly.

-Give this a good stir.

-I'm actually going to use my hands

-and they are clean!

-It's much quicker

-if you bring it together by hand.

-That's it.

-It's a very rich mixture

-that has got a lot of ingredients.

-Yes, there's a lot

-of different things.

-There's fruit and vegetables

-and the nuts provide the protein.

-The cranberries

-will be quite bitter...

-..so you'll get

-the sharpness of them...

-..as well as the herbs,

-onions, mushrooms and sherry.

-This one isn't too bad...

-..but if you find

-that it's quite dry...

-..you can add some of the liquid

-from the dried mushrooms.

-This will add even more flavour.

-It should be quite a wet mixture.

-Can you hear it squelching

-as I mix it?

-I'd say that is has "clatsh."

-I think "clatsh" is a word

-that's only used in South Wales.

-I don't know how you'd translate it.

-I'd use the word "clatsh"

-for a smack.

-Don't do that to me!

-I don't really know

-how to define the word "clatsh."

-Moist?

-Yes, moist or soggy.

-Moist.

-This is baked for 90 minutes at

-180 degrees Celsius or gas mark 4.

-I cover it with foil at the start...

-..and remove it later

-so that the top can dry.

-Take it our after it has cooked.

-You can do it up to this stage

-up to two days before Christmas.

-Does it go in the fridge as it is?

-Does it go in the fridge as it is?

-

-Yes, that's right.

-It'll be ready to be baked

-on Christmas Day.

-You could cook it on Christmas Eve

-and reheat it.

-Remind us

-of the cooking instructions.

-It's baked at 180 degrees Celsius

-or gas mark 4.

-Here's one I made earlier.

-We'll try that later.

-Decorate it with a few cranberries.

-We've got our forks at the ready

-to try it.

-That's all for this morning.

-Our final programme of 2016

-has come to an end...

-..but we'll be back

-on 8 January 2017!

-Let's get in the Christmas mood with

-Alistair James and Laura Sutton...

-..singing Y Goeden Yn Y Gornel.

-Merry Christmas

-and Happy New Year to you all!

-# Whoa-oh-oh

-# Your footsteps in the virgin snow

-# Church bells sound a joyful song

-# An elegant tree

-with fine decorations

-# Quiet in the corner

-# Quiet in the corner

-# Quiet in the corner
