-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on the final weekend of November.

-Between now and ten o'clock,

-we'll prepare you for Christmas.

-Catrin bakes mince pies

-in the kitchen.

-Carys Tudor is here with tips

-to decorate the Christmas tree.

-If you think it's too early

-to prepare for Christmas...

-..we've got plenty

-of other items for you.

-I'll pay a visit to

-Ysgol Bro Morgannwg in Barry.

-Elin's at the Blackpool hotel run

-by the duet singers, Tony and Aloma.

-The historian, Dr Elin Jones

-chats about the life of Marie Curie.

-You can win a television or tablet

-in our photography competition too.

-We've got something for everyone

-on today's Bore Da.

-We start the programme

-by going back to school...

-..in the seaside town of Barry.

-There are almost 900 pupils

-at Ysgol Bro Morgannwg in Barry.

-This year, there's some good news.

-A brand-new course

-has started at the school.

-It's a course in construction.

-Some pupils found previous courses

-such as Design Technology...

-..more difficult and challenging.

-We looked at a course that

-was more suitable for pupils...

-..in terms of practicality

-rather than theory work.

-Colleges are able to offer it,

-so it's important that we do too.

-We've decided that they learn

-woodwork, tiling and plumbing.

-This course offers a wide-range

-from bricklaying...

-..to erecting stone walls and so on.

-There's a vast choice...

-..but these are three skills that

-are relevant to us at the school.

-This course differs

-to anything else.

-It's more practical than

-learning words and paperwork.

-There's a great, friendly

-atmosphere in the class.

-The work is also enjoyable.

-I'd like to be an aircraft engineer.

-I've learnt how to construct

-and erect things...

-..and perfect the measurements.

-Some people prefer

-to learn practical skills...

-..that can benefit them at home...

-..or could lead to a career

-in a practical role or construction.

-We require skills like this

-to use in every day life...

-..such as tiling at home.

-I also want to build

-my own house one day.

-This course is suitable

-for a lot of children.

-Many children followed

-a Design Technology course...

-..but the design aspect

-wasn't suitable for them.

-Boys in particular prefer working

-with tools and being practical.

-They're not keen on developing ideas

-on paper or computer.

-So far, it's been fantastic.

-There are 36 pupils on this course.

-There are 35 boys

-and only one girl among them.

-I grew up making things

-with Dad in the garage.

-It was either that or hairdressing.

-I prefer to do something like this

-as I like to make things.

-At the start, everyone else couldn't

-believe a girl was doing the course.

-I was in the wrong class

-at the start...

-..and did things before them,

-but they've caught up now.

-Everyone was surprised

-that a girl chose this course.

-I enjoy tiling as I've never done

-anything like it before.

-My father used to be a plumber,

-so I want to do something similar.

-Very few girls do these courses.

-But if girls start doing them...

-..it'll help build

-their confidence when growing up.

-There's great potential here.

-Some of them stand out

-as they're very skilful.

-Everyone is doing their best.

-I'm sure in two years time

-they can progress with it.

-All the best to the crew

-for the rest of the course.

-Next, we're in the kitchen.

-Christmas is fast approaching...

-..and nothing beats Catrin's tasty

-mince pies on this Sunday morning.

-The mince pies

-are with a crumble topping.

-The pastry has a lovely

-seasonal orange flavour.

-Making mince pies certainly

-gets you in the festive spirit.

-I make so many of them.

-Their nice aroma fills the air

-and it feels Christmassy.

-We won't make our own mincemeat.

-But for now we focus on the pastry.

-In a bowl, rub together

-500g of plain flour...

-..and 380g of cold butter.

-Keep the ingredients cool with

-a cold kitchen and cold hands.

-The studio can be quite warm.

-Yes, it is, but try to turn

-the heat off in the kitchen.

-The ingredients must be cool

-to make a light pastry.

-I've quickly rubbed

-the ingredients together.

-Sweeten the pastry

-with 180g of icing sugar.

-Rub it together.

-Icing sugar blends better

-with these ingredients.

-The aim is to make

-a shortcrust pastry.

-To flavour it...

-..you need the zest of one orange.

-Then bind it together

-with the juice of the orange.

-This makes a lot of pastry.

-Cut it into pieces and freeze it.

-You can use half of it now

-and the rest another time.

-Yes, it freezes well.

-You can either make the pies

-and freeze them for Christmas...

-..or freeze pieces of the pastry

-and make the pies later on.

-How many mince pies

-will this amount of pastry make?

-It makes around 40 mince pies.

-There's enough for a party!

-There's two each for everyone here.

-I'll leave this now

-before making pastry balls.

-We have to move on to the filling.

-Allow it to chill in the fridge.

-Cover it in clingfilm

-and leave it to rest.

-Is 30 minutes enough?

-An hour should be enough.

-You can either freeze it

-or make the mince pies immediately.

-Your pastry should look like this.

-Scatter some flour on the worktop

-but not too much.

-We don't want to dry it out after

-making such a nice and light pastry.

-Roll it out

-and keep rotating the pastry.

-We don't want it to stick

-to the worktop.

-The pastry should be

-as thick as a 1 coin.

-We'll use a cutter

-that's 8cm in diameter.

-We'll also line the tin.

-The mince pie dates back

-to the 13th century.

-It was a long time ago.

-Where did it come from?

-The British used to make

-savoury mince pies...

-..as sugar was expensive to buy.

-The savoury ones

-contained spices and meat.

-There was also dried fruit.

-Over time, they became the

-more familiar, sweeter variety.

-Let's move on to the crumble now.

-We've got 200g of plain flour...

-..100g of butter...

-..and rub together.

-We're making an ordinary crumble.

-Sweeten it with 100g

-of Demerara sugar.

-This gives it a crunchy texture.

-Then, add mixed nuts including

-brazil, hazelnuts and almonds.

-We associated mixed nuts

-with the Christmas season too.

-Scoop a teaspoon of mincemeat

-into each pie.

-Pour the crumble over the top.

-You'll have more time than me

-to do this.

-Bake them for 20 minutes...

-..at a temperature of 170C

-or gas mark 5.

-As I said you can take more time to

-do it as I've got flour everywhere!

-We always race against time

-in the kitchen.

-Simply spoon the mincemeat

-into the pies.

-You can freeze them after cooking.

-How long for?

-Freeze them for up to a month.

-Then defrost and reheat them.

-But they're quite nice

-to make on Christmas Eve.

-Mmm!

-Those mince pies looked very tasty.

-If you fancy a stroll

-this afternoon...

-..a new trail has opened...

-..which links the slate quarry areas

-of North Wales.

-The trail is part of a campaign

-in North Wales...

-..for it to gain a UNESCO

-World Heritage Site status.

-Let's take a peek at the trail.

-There's no-one better than the

-children of Llanllechid School...

-..to tell the story of the quarries

-in North Wales at Neuadd Ogwen...

-..on the official opening

-of the Snowdonia Slate Trail.

-They are talking about us!

-The Snowdonia Slate Trail

-was established...

-..to introduce our heritage

-and landscape to the world.

-It's an 84-mile trail

-that goes through the quarry towns.

-This will also bring people to the

-area and boost the local economy.

-Volunteers spent two years

-preparing the Slate Trail.

-First, we had to look at the map

-and find another public path...

-..that could be linked

-in order to create this trail.

-Next, we had to put up

-some signage...

-..on various gate posts...

-..to guide people along the trail.

-As well as the trail

-that takes people across the land...

-..people can also step back

-into the area's history.

-Along the trail...

-..we want visitors

-to learn about our history.

-It's been a pleasure

-to create this Slate Trail.

-I hope the walkers recognize the

-importance of the slate industry...

-..to the history and culture

-of North Wales.

-If you get a chance,

-take a stroll along the trail.

-That's all for part one

-but in the second part...

-..we visit the Blackpool hotel run

-by the duet singers, Tony and Aloma.

-Carys Tudor also has tip on how

-to decorate the Christmas tree.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Welcome back.

-The famous Welsh duet singers,

-Tony and Aloma...

-..run The Greshsam Hotel

-in Blackpool.

-Many of the Welsh flock there

-to enjoy the company of the duo.

-Our cameras were there last weekend.

-And Aloma's granddaughter was about

-to do something special for charity.

-Here's the story.

-# Farewell to the winter #

-Tony and Aloma

-are a duo from Anglesey.

-They started their professional

-careers 49 years ago...

-..and have sold

-over 100,000 records.

-These days, they have

-a permanent stage in Blackpool...

-..as Aloma and her husband, Roy and

-Tony purchased The Gresham Hotel.

-You've been here for 30 years.

-You've been here for 30 years.

-

-Yes, we mark 30 years next year.

-I don't like to say this...

-..but we also mark 50 years since

-we became professional singers.

-Time is flying by.

-Tonight is a special night

-for the family.

-My nine-year-old niece, Lily

-has decided to donate her hair...

-..to the Little Princess Trust.

-I've decided to cut my hair because

-I was looking on the internet...

-..and saw a little girl who lived

-in Blackpool with her parents...

-..and they didn't have enough money

-to buy a wig that costs thousands.

-I decided I should

-donate my hair for her.

-That's an amazing thing to do,

-but are you feeling a big nervous?

-A little bit,

-but happy at the same time.

-Lily faces her own challenges

-as a mild cerebral palsy sufferer.

-She has difficulty walking

-and her legs hurt.

-She does taekwondo and

-she likes to sing and dance.

-It doesn't stop her and she's

-a very determined little girl.

-Here we go, Lil.

-Over 100 people have travelled

-from Wales to The Gresham Hotel...

-..in support of Lily and to enjoy

-an evening of Welsh entertainment.

-This is my first time at The

-Gresham Hotel and I can't wait.

-Many familiar faces have

-travelled from North Wales.

-Tony and Aloma don't perform often,

-but continue to attract a crowd...

-..and provide entertainment

-from behind the bar.

-There's a wonderful crowd that come

-to us every year and it's great.

-We're lucky to have

-so many loyal Welsh fans.

-Without our Welsh supporters,

-we might be bankrupt.

-If you look around,

-it feels like Wales.

-We go shopping and dance to

-the evening entertainment...

-..and I'm 84.

-We've been coming here since Tony

-and Aloma took over and we love it.

-We married 40 years ago and

-have been coming here since.

-How often do you come here?

-Between May and New Years Eve,

-we come here once a month.

-Our friends come here...

-..and we thought we'd come to

-celebrate our 48th anniversary.

-After a small tidy up...

-..it was time for Lily

-to show off her new look.

-We're really proud

-and she's done an incredible thing.

-I believe Lily has something to say.

-I believe Lily has something to say.

-

-Thank you.

-After travelling to Blackpool,

-I had to sing a song before leaving.

-# Sing in the day

-and sing in the night #

-What a lovely item.

-Well done to Lily and thank you

-to Tony and Aloma for the invite.

-Elin certainly enjoyed herself.

-It's hard to believe that

-next Friday is 1 December.

-This year has flown by

-and Christmas is around the corner.

-This morning, we've got advice on

-how to decorate the Christmas tree.

-Enjoy.

-We've got four different trees.

-We start with this small tree.

-It only costs 6 from Tesco.

-I've got exactly the same one

-but in green...

-..for my grandsons' bedroom.

-You can leave the decorations on it,

-fold it and boxed it up.

-It's ready to plug in and go!

-We've got these

-lovely pink cupcake baubles.

-They're only 1 each from Asda.

-Children enjoy decorating the tree.

-They're able to help

-dress this type of tree.

-There are sweets that

-cost 75p each from Asda.

-They're quite jolly.

-There's also a star

-to place on top of the tree.

-It's suitable for young children

-and can be placed in a small window.

-Yes, or in the hallway.

-It can be a second tree

-for the home.

-Rose gold is popular colour

-at the moment.

-These decorations are rose gold.

-It's currently a popular colour

-in clothing and homeware.

-It can be seen everywhere this year.

-We've got a delightful

-squirrel tree decoration here.

-It costs 5 from Marks and Spencer.

-It looks very cute

-and I like it a lot.

-We also have

-this church decoration...

-..that's inside

-a traditional glass dome.

-This delicate piece

-is also 5 from Marks.

-There aren't many baubles

-on this tree...

-..only the rose gold decorations.

-The base of the tree is lovely.

-Yes, the tree sits in a wooden base.

-There's a snowflake that isn't

-designed for the top of the tree.

-It's a tree decoration.

-You don't have to use a tree topper.

-If you like something, tie it to the

-top with some cable wire or elastic.

-I would only fit decorations

-of this size on larger trees.

-You want the decoration to be

-on the same scale as the tree.

-These decorations are expensive

-but also large in size.

-Yes, this decoration costs 12.50.

-Three of these would look great on

-a large tree mixed with other items.

-I like the effect on this tree.

-It's beautiful, but let's move

-on to this traditional one.

-This traditional green tree

-has a red colour scheme.

-You can team it with some gold

-but I like to match green with red.

-Make sure that the baubles

-have different textures.

-You need a mixture of shiny

-and glitter baubles for a sparkle.

-If they're all matte,

-then the tree will look dull.

-I like the letter decorations.

-Thanks to Mam

-I've got 'O' and 'G' at home.

-You can letters that are

-relevant to your family.

-They're 5 each from M&S.

-They're equipped with

-battery-operated lights.

-It's a fashionable look.

-You can use them every year.

-There's a red Santa slay

-which looks very delicate.

-But it's a solid piece

-and will last for a long time.

-It costs 2.50 from Wilkos.

-On the bottom,

-we've got a red door.

-It looks traditional

-and costs 1.50.

-Mix traditional decorations

-with the ones you've already got.

-Some people collect them

-over the years.

-You want to look at your decorations

-before buying new ones.

-Look at what you've got already.

-You can also swap decorations

-with friends.

-Borrow them to a friend if you

-don't want a traditional look.

-Those decorations

-are reasonably price.

-We finish with a tree

-that fits in small spaces.

-These trees are very fashionable

-and they're called pencil trees.

-They're very narrow.

-You can use three of them in a row

-to create a great effect.

-A pencil forest!

-This has a mint colour scheme.

-It looks almost white

-under the studio lights...

-..but there's mint,

-white and silver here.

-The reindeer costs 1.79

-from The Range.

-It's a light-mint colour

-and is a delicate piece.

-There are also some icicles.

-They are 1.39 each.

-They're pale green in colour

-and look incredibly delicate.

-They're also reasonable for 1.39.

-The star on the top

-is battery-operated.

-It doesn't need any electricity.

-That's handy

-when you've got little ones.

-This is also a tree decoration

-and not a tree topper.

-See what you like and what is

-suitable for your tree size.

-Those cable ties are also handy.

-That's it for part two.

-In the third part...

-..we visit

-Caerphilly Visitors Centre...

-..as the Marie Curie charity present

-a very special tree to the centre.

-We also sample the Welshcakes

-at Llandudno Christmas Fayre.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Welcome back.

-We're nearing Christmas...

-..and the towns of Wales

-are being lit with lights...

-..and Christmas trees

-are being put in their place.

-A special tree has arrived at

-Caerphilly Visitors Centre...

-..that's decorated in the

-Marie Curie charity daffodil.

-The charity was started in 1948.

-It was about

-the same time as the NHS.

-It started to care for women

-who have cancer.

-There are nine hospices across

-Britain including one in Penarth.

-I see the support it offers to the

-terminally ill and their families.

-They have incredible support in

-the hospice and all over the area.

-Marie Curie is wonderful

-and changes people's lives.

-We've launched a Christmas tree

-that has 2,000 of our daffodils.

-It looks wonderful

-and it helps people in the area.

-They come here and enjoy the cafe.

-It raises awareness

-and money for those in the area.

-Our fund-raising box will be

-at the centre over Christmas...

-..and we hope to raise

-a lot of money in this area.

-At this time of year...

-..it's important people know they

-can get the support of Marie Curie.

-Wow! That tree looks fantastic.

-The Marie Curie charity

-performs invaluable work.

-But how do you know

-about the lady behind the charity?

-Since Friday, a film has been in

-our cinemas about her amazing life.

-Marie Curie is a heroine for

-the historian, Dr Elin Jones.

-Dr Elin shares her story with us.

-She didn't come from wealth

-and her parents were teachers.

-She went to France

-at the age of 24...

-..to study Maths and Physics

-at the University of Bonn...

-..and was accepted immediately.

-This is where she met her husband,

-Pierre Curie.

-They got married in 1894

-and they began working together...

-..on the newly-discovered element,

-uranium.

-It was part of a bitumen blend.

-They wanted to find out what were

-the attributes of this new element.

-They discovered another new element

-called polonium.

-It was named after

-Marie's home country of Poland.

-She was born Marie Sklodowska.

-But we know her as Marie Curie.

-They got their hands dirty with this

-work and it was also very dangerous.

-But they were successful

-and won a Nobel Prize award...

-..for discovering polonium in 1903.

-Then three years later, her husband,

-Pierre died in a road accident...

-..and Marie continued with the

-work that they started together.

-She left Bonn...

-..and became a headmistress at

-an influential school in Europe...

-..having been an economic migrant

-and a poor student.

-She worked in a tough role that

-was disputed by other scientists.

-She found another new element

-and this time it was called radium.

-She won a second Noble Prize award

-for her solo work.

-It wasn't for physics

-but for chemistry work.

-This was a lady who had a poor

-and unstable upbringing...

-..and won the most prestigious

-honour in the scientific world...

-..with her husband and on her own.

-It doesn't matter

-about your background...

-..as long as you're prepared

-to work hard for the success.

-We rely upon her research work

-on a daily basis.

-Yes, we've all had an x-ray

-and this was part of her work.

-She also devised the concept

-of an x-ray machine...

-..to help injured soldiers

-in the Great War.

-She went to the front lines

-with her daughter.

-Her legacy continues to this day.

-I didn't know this until

-I researched her story...

-..and she's got a fantastic face.

-She looks like a tough

-and intelligent character.

-Her daughter also shared a Noble

-Prize in science with her husband.

-Her daughter's children

-and her grandchildren...

-..are influential in France today.

-It's a remarkable story.

-We've also grown up

-around the name Marie Curie...

-..but many of us don't know

-about her background.

-I hope the film

-makes justice of her story.

-I recall seeing a strip about her

-in a comic book called Girls.

-They were coloured images of Marie

-and her husband busy at work.

-The lab was filthy and dangerous

-and their health suffered.

-There's sadness

-behind her death in 1934.

-She died of poor-health and suffered

-during the 20th century...

-..because of the work

-and the dangers involved.

-There are early x-ray images

-of rays going through the hand...

-..when they learnt about

-the potential of the x-ray...

-..but unaware of its dangers.

-It's 150 years since her birth.

-It's about time a film

-was made about her.

-I hope it's the first of many

-and we hear about her family.

-Her worked required

-a lot of intelligence.

-It's passed on to her family

-so I'm quite jealous!

-Yes, quite!

-During her era,

-she was a success in her field...

-..but we must also celebrate

-the fact that she was a female.

-I agree with you, Yvonne!

-We're celebrating

-an economic migrant...

-..who was also a female.

-They were belittled

-by the science world.

-Marie and her husband

-thought the work was worth it...

-..despite it being unpleasant.

-It would benefit humankind

-and they were right.

-Her work during World War I

-and before that...

-..was honoured by

-a hospital in her name.

-They appreciated her then...

-..and her name will remain

-because of the charity work.

-The Marie Curie charity

-carries out fantastic work.

-There's also a month now

-to raise awareness for cancer.

-It's interesting that

-she experimented during World War I.

-She placed her life in danger again

-for the soldiers on the front line.

-What an incredibly

-interesting story.

-Our next stop is

-the Llandudno Christmas Fayre...

-..for a competition to find

-the world's best Welshcakes.

-This is the Llandudno

-Christmas Fayre.

-I'm here after winning the World

-Bara Brith Championships last year.

-This year, we have the

-World Welshcake Championships.

-There are two competitions

-for a Traditional Welshcake...

-..and an Alternative Flavour

-Welshcake.

-I have to admit

-that they are very tasty.

-We had 23 entries.

-It's excellent when you consider

-that Welshcakes need to be fresh.

-The winner is very interesting...

-..and gives a variety in terms

-of being sweet and savoury.

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing the winner.

-The tasting and judging

-was followed by the results.

-Bev Marsh wasn't present to win the

-Traditional Welshcake category...

-..but we met the winner of the

-Alternative Flavour Welshcake.

-And the winner is Ieuan Jones

-from Talwrn on Anglesey.

-I can't believe it's happened.

-I was persuaded to enter

-by my wife and friend.

-We're approaching Christmas,

-so cranberries suit the season...

-..and the pink peppercorns

-have a specific zing!

-I'm the ambassador of the show

-in Llandudno.

-Today, we got the best Welshcakes.

-It was great to see Ieuan

-from Anglesey as the winner...

-..with that wonderful cake.

-This is a one-off and it's a

-great result for my first time.

-It was a very lucky one-off!

-That's all for now but in the

-final part of the programme...

-..we congratulate the Cardiff rower,

-Zak Lee-Green...

-..who returned with a silver medal

-from the World Rowing Championship.

-You can win a television or tablet

-in our photography competition.

-We also enjoy a song called Bois y

-JCB from the famous Welsh Whisperer.

-# No problem on the rocks

-in the quarry or the field

-# Shifting soil or loose sand

-or a bucket full of clay

-# It doesn't matter about

-the weather if it's warm or wet

-# No-one fills a hole

-better than the lads with a JCB #

-.

-Welcome back.

-The Cardiff rower, Zak Lee-Green

-has captured the world's attention.

-He's returned with a silver medal

-from the World Rowing Championship.

-Rhodri Gomer

-went to congratulate him.

-A month ago, Zak Lee-Green travelled

-with the British team...

-..to the World Rowing Championship

-in Florida...

-..to compete with

-the lightweight quad.

-Winning the semi-final meant

-the gold was a realistic goal...

-..but that meant beating the

-favourites of France in the final.

-We knew they were great as we'd

-raced them in the last two years.

-They were really strong

-and had won medals...

-..but we knew

-we had to make changes...

-..after the second round

-to progress.

-The second round went well

-and did all we set out to achieve.

-The planning for the final

-was perfect.

-At the halfway mark,

-we were where we wanted to be.

-We worked so hard and hoped that

-the finish line would come quickly.

-Within the final 50 yards,

-the French team overtook them.

-Despite Zak and the team's

-best efforts...

-..the French took the gold

-by only half a metre.

-I questioned myself

-the second that I finished.

-Everyone wanted us to do so well

-but we kept thinking, "what if?!"

-I've never had a race where

-I was almost a champion but failed.

-Everything about the boat

-felt perfect.

-The only thing missing was

-a bit of power towards the end.

-It was an amazing competition.

-You had a very worthy holiday

-after the competition.

-Yes, I had a fortnight in Florida.

-My girlfriend came to watch the

-final and we did some travelling.

-It gave me time to relax, to put

-rowing to the back of my mind...

-..and enjoy a normal life

-and eat a McDonald's too!

-Sacrifice is an inherent part of

-a professional athlete's life...

-..with healthy food, early mornings

-and torturing training sessions.

-The success of this lad from Cardiff

-is a worthy prize.

-I get up at 6.45am

-and drive to Caversham or Evesham...

-..and either do some weights or go

-on the water depending on the plan.

-We finish at 2.00pm or 4.00pm,

-depending on each of our sessions.

-After that, I do three or four hours

-of dentistry at Maidenhead...

-..before going home to sleep!

-What's next for Zak

-after such a successful 2017?

-Everyone is aiming for the Olympic

-Games in two and a half years.

-Next year, our boats need to win

-the qualifying spots for the Games.

-It's at the front of our minds.

-We're focused on our weights, rowing

-machine and work on the water.

-Congratulations to you, Zak.

-Visiting an archive

-can be an exciting experience.

-This week is Explore Your Archive.

-Mari Grug celebrated the week

-at Glamorgan Archives.

-Explore Your Archive encourages

-people to visit local archives...

-..and raise awareness of the vast

-collections in these archives.

-Glamorgan Archive is hosting the

-launch of this campaign in Wales.

-The campaign

-is running across Britain...

-..but Wales is having its own launch

-to mark the start of the campaign.

-We'll chat about our collections

-about the National Coal Board...

-..as we're currently

-cataloguing those records.

-We've successfully had a grant of

-200,000 to catalogue our records.

-It's great to tell people about

-the wealth of our collection...

-..and show the material

-that can be used for research.

-I'm the historian for the history

-of the coal mines of South Wales.

-I did work on the industrial changes

-within the coal industry...

-..and wrote the book,

-South Wales Miners 1964 - 1985.

-I've done a lot of research at

-Glamorgan Archives and it's great.

-During the week,

-we'll promote the fact...

-..that you can visit archives to do

-research on all sorts of topics.

-You can also learn about

-the history of your house...

-..your town or village.

-Schools also visit to learn about

-their home in the Victorian era...

-..or the history of World War II.

-I'm really happy

-to support this day.

-People need to realize that the

-archives can be used all-year-round.

-We're celebrating today but archives

-have something for everyone.

-There's photographs and pictures

-to see and it's all for free to see.

-It's very important to have a week

-to celebrate our archives...

-..in terms of celebrating

-our heritage...

-..and the value

-of these collections for research.

-Our message is that everyone is

-welcome at their local archives...

-..whether that's at the

-Glamorgan Archives in Cardiff...

-..the Gwynedd Archives in Caernarfon

-or Denbigh Archives in Ruthin.

-You're welcome to cross

-the threshold and do some research.

-That was very interesting.

-Here's a reminder of the photography

-competition on Heno and Prynhawn Da.

-You win either

-a television or tablet.

-Autumn is the theme.

-Autumn is a season of falling leaves

-and is ideal for taking photographs.

-The amazing colours

-always excite us.

-We want your photographs of autumn

-in your garden, public park...

-..pavement or anywhere that you

-take your mobile phone or camera.

-Upload your photographs to our

-Facebook or Twitter accounts...

-..or email them to

-[email protected]

-The closing date is 30 November

-and we look forward to seeing them.

-# You know about the diggers

-that make holes across the land

-# But there's another machine

-and I'm telling you the truth

-# It's in a shade of yellow

-that stands out to all

-# There's always fun to be had

-with the lads with a JCB

-# No problem on the rocks

-in the quarry or the field

-# Shifting soil or loose sand

-or a bucket full of clay

-# It doesn't matter about

-the weather if it's warm or wet

-# No-one fills a hole

-better than the lads with a JCB

-# A tall dump height

-and a decent dig depth

-# Sitting on the leather

-and I feel like a giant

-# Who's here to dig a hole

-or fill one in for you

-# I'm ready to do some dumping

-with the lads with a JCB

-# No problem on the rocks

-in the quarry or the field

-# Shifting soil or loose sand

-or a bucket full of clay

-# It doesn't matter about

-the weather if it's warm or wet

-# No-one fills a hole

-better than the lads with a JCB

-Yeah, boy!

-# The lads with mini diggers

-and girls in the game

-# I raise my hat to all of you

-and those who get upset

-# Without you in this land,

-we would be at a loss

-# No bogging in the mud and dirt

-with the lads with a JCB

-# No problem on the rocks

-in the quarry or the field

-# Shifting soil or loose sand

-or a bucket full of clay

-# It doesn't matter about

-the weather if it's warm or wet

-# No-one fills a hole

-better than the lads with a JCB

-# No-one fills a hole

-better than the lads with a JCB #
