-one of Wales' most glamorous nights.

-Hello, Heno!

-I'm really interested

-in these kinds of events.

-

-Enjoy your night.

-When we talk about the Royal Family

-of the Miss Wales event...

-of past winners.

-It has to include

-Sara Manchipp and Emma Jenkins.

-You're the most famous

-former winners of Miss Wales.

-Yes, I agree.

-This is the first thing

-that I want to ask you.

-Did being able to speak Welsh help

-you to win and fulfil your role?

-It was massive, not just

-for the title of Miss Wales...

-..but for us personally.

-You brought of touch of Wales to

-the final of Miss World last year.

-I sang Calon Lan live on stage to

-what felt like the whole of China!

-It was very scary and not quite

-the same as the Eisteddfod.

-It was lovely to show China

-a piece of Wales.

-What is the X factor?

-It's a nice person

-who warms to the audience.

-When that person enters a room,

-you feel all warm and nice.

-I'm joined by Naiomi and your accent

-tells me you're Northwalian.

-Yes, I'm from Conwy but

-am a pharmacy student in Cardiff.

-Are you enjoying it

-and is it your first pageant?

-It's my first pageant

-and I'm enjoying it.

-I've made great friends

-and looking forward to tonight.

-It's a proud moment

-seeing it all come together...

-..in front of friends and families

-knowing it's the time of their life!

-How's it going?

-The girls are working hard

-on the stage.

-I don't know who's going to win.

-Have you got a front runner?

-The standard is very high and

-the girls are working really hard.

-A few of them

-had some pageant training with me...

-..and they have been practicing.

-The title of Miss Wales 2017

-goes to...

-..Hannah Williams.

-Congratulations,

-what an exciting event.

-Thank you, I can't digest it yet

-and I'm absolutely gobsmacked.

-It's been a brilliant competition

-and I really enjoyed it.

-I met some fantastic, inspiring

-women who all deserve the crown.

-Now, you're off to Miss World.

-Now, you're off to Miss World.

-

-I know, how exciting?!

-I haven't thought about it

-as I really didn't expect it.

-I can't wait

-to do our country proud.

-Bring on Miss World

-and I can't wait to represent Wales.

-Congratulations to everyone and

-good luck to Hannah in Miss World.

-If you're interested in plants...

-..you'll be glad to hear

-of a project by the BSBI...

-..or the Botanical Society

-of Britain and Ireland.

-They are collecting the names

-of the rare plants of Britain...

-..and have finished the task...

-..of collecting the names

-of rare Welsh plants.

-Gerallt has the story.

-The Snowdon Lily is a rare flower

-in the old Caernarfonshire.

-The Radnor Lily

-is just as rare in Mid Wales.

-After 40 years of hard work...

-..the BSBI has published registers

-of the rare plants.

-There's one for each county.

-We use the old historic counties.

-This year,

-we're delighted to celebrate...

-..the completion

-with the final two counties.

-They are Glamorgan

-and Pembrokeshire.

-The BSBI is very happy

-to finish this work.

-Dr Goronwy Wynne is one of the many

-volunteers who helped with the task.

-He's an authority

-on the plants of Flintshire.

-How many people in Rhesycae know

-that a rare plant in Flintshire...

-..is growing underneath our feet?

-It's only odd people like you and I

-who take an interest in thistles!

-There are four or five varieties

-of thistle growing here.

-Sitting amongst the common types

-is the dwarf thistle.

-The flower is on a tiny stem

-and almost touching the ground.

-It's extremely rare.

-Why is it so important to have

-a register of these rare plants?

-It tells us something

-about the plant's environment...

-..and whether global warming

-has an effect on the plant.

-Secondly, we look at human kind...

-..and our affect on the habitats.

-When something becomes rare...

-..it might have nothing to do

-with the plant or the weather...

-..but simply because someone

-built a house on that habitat.

-A register of plants

-isn't a new concept.

-This is Welsh Botanology by Hugh

-Davies owned by Bethan Wyn Jones....

-..who is looking for signs

-of the spring on Anglesey!

-Who was Hugh Davies

-and why is he still important today?

-It's important to note

-that he was from Anglesey.

-He was a church vicar who spent

-a lot of his time in Beaumaris.

-He was also an exceptional botanist

-who roamed the island...

-..and recorded plants

-that were near churches.

-Cors Bodeilio was one of the sites

-that he frequented.

-It's awash with plants.

-One of the plants that he mentions

-in his book is the willow.

-It's wonderful

-to come here in the spring...

-..to see the catkins on the willow

-trees which is a sight to behold.

-The registers have been brought

-to the light of day...

-..so I can congratulate you

-and celebrate!

-I'm delighted

-that we have these registers...

-..for all the old counties in Wales.

-A small group of people

-from each county...

-..should be applauded for their

-perseverance in finishing the work.

-It's easy to start but there's

-always some finishing touches...

-..and they have completed the task

-for the whole of Wales.

-Last Friday,

-Ysgol Heol-y-Celyn in Pontypridd...

-..was a sea

-of green, white and orange.

-The school hosted an Irish day to

-raise money for one of the pupils.

-Charlie has a very rare

-liver condition...

-..and he needs a transplant.

-Mari Grug went to hear his story.

-Charlie came to us from

-Western Ireland over Christmas.

-He's been with us since January.

-He has a rare liver condition

-called biliary atresia.

-It's a very serious condition

-and he's waiting for a transplant.

-They have moved to Wales...

-..to be closer to

-King's College Hospital in London.

-It's hoped that he'll

-have a life-saving operation.

-He's a happy, active child

-who is full of life.

-Yesterday,

-he was playing football...

-..and scored the winning goal

-for his team in a tournament.

-Today, the teachers are wearing

-t-shirts and been idiots.

-We made fools of ourselves

-for a video with Take That music.

-The children enjoyed a day of sport

-and did some cooking yesterday.

-Today, they are selling things

-to their parents...

-..and throwing wet sponges

-at the teachers.

-My name is on the

-bottom of that list.

-I'll be washing cars with some

-of the staff and pupils later.

-I'll be soaked and covered in mud

-by the time I go home.

-Are there any naughty children

-at Ysgol Heol-y-Celyn?

-There aren't any naughty children

-at Ysgol Heol-y-Celyn.

-Believe that and

-you'll believe anything!

-It's lovely to meet you, Charlie.

-Tell me about yourself and

-when did you start to feel ill?

-Since I was a baby.

-And there's a few days

-when I feel ill.

-Sometimes, I have to go to hospital

-and it's worse than it is.

-How are you feeling today?

-How are you feeling today?

-

-Good.

-How do you feel that Ysgol

-Heol-yCelyn has arranged today?

-Happy.

-What have you been doing today?

-What have you been doing today?

-

-Playing with friends.

-What's been the best bit of the day?

-What's been the best bit of the day?

-

-Hitting the teachers.

-Who did you get wet?

-Who did you get wet?

-

-Miss Evans.

-Do you think she was happy?

-What's day-to-day life like,

-Charlie?

-Sometimes I get sick

-and sometimes I feel good.

-Sometimes I feel a little bit of

-a headache.

-How does going back and forth

-to the hospital make you feel?

-Stressed!

-Despite the circumstances, the

-school has made a special effort...

-..to make Charlie comfortable

-with a day of activities.

-We've been selling items like...

-..books, games...

-..books, games...

-

-..DVD and cakes.

-Come and buy!

-What's been happening

-in the school today, Seren?

-We've been doing

-a lot of different activities...

-..such as washing cars,

-selling cakes and toys.

-How does it make you feel, Menna?

-I'm feel very happy

-that the school has come together...

-..to help one pupil so

-that he feels better in the future.

-We really like you, Charlie.

-The whole school is behind you.

-We want to wish you

-all the best for the future.

-Good luck, Charlie. Get well soon

-and have a good holiday.

-We've had some good news.

-The school has raised

-almost 1,500 to date.

-Well done to them

-and good luck to Charlie.

-That's all for the first part.

-After the break...

-..Owain plays American football

-with the South Wales Warriors.

-We visit the Blaenavon

-World Heritage Centre.

-Helen Humphreys has an array of

-accessories in our fashion slot.

-Join me in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-It's almost summer...

-..and if you fancy trying

-a brand-new outdoor sport...

-..then Owain Gwynedd

-has just the thing for you.

-The rugby and football season

-is coming to an end...

-..and the season of the traditional

-summer sports is on the horizon.

-How do you fill your weekend if you

-don't like golf, bowling or cricket?

-How about trying

-some American football?

-Yes, American football

-and there is a team in Wales.

-The South Wales Warriors from

-Pontyclun trains at Y Pant School...

-..and is about to start

-a new season.

-The team was relegated from

-the premiership last season...

-..but the club that was founded in

-2003 has enjoyed a lot of success.

-I played in division two

-for a few years...

-..and won at the division two

-BritBowl in 2011.

-It was a great game

-as we beat a team from Glasgow.

-I moved into division one and

-spent four years in the premiership.

-I started playing rugby but wanted

-a sport to play in the summer...

-..so that I could keep fit

-all season.

-I'd always watched it on television

-so I thought I'd give it a go.

-These days,

-everyone can give it a shot.

-The Cardiff Valkyries women's team

-was started this year.

-There's the men's team

-for over 18s...

-..and we have youth and junior sides

-who play in the league in Bristol.

-It shares the same skills

-as sports such as rugby...

-..but you have to be ready

-to start from the very beginning.

-Catching and tackling

-are quite simple.

-I've enjoyed the sport...

-..since I saw the Indianapolis Colts

-beating the Jaguars in 2009...

-..but I've never played it

-so this was the ideal opportunity.

-I've been watching them in training.

-I've got my kit, done the warm up

-so I'm ready to go.

-I'm hoping my memories of rugby

-help me so let's go!

-"Let's go!" indeed...

-..but where was I going?

-Oh, yes. Some tackling to start.

-Here we go.

-I should remember how to do that.

-Yes, that was a tick in the box

-and someone was obviously happy...

-..but don't be overly-confident,

-Owain.

-Contact 100% above the waist.

-One, two, three.

-I'm playing in defence

-so have to tackle and get the ball.

-Oh, you idiot!

-Looking at it again

-doesn't make it any better.

-Any hope of joining the team?

-You're doing well,

-so you can sign up.

-I should learn to catch first!

-My first training session with

-the South Wales Warriors is over.

-I enjoyed it but I'm aching

-so I'm going home for a warm bath.

-Good luck to the team and come and

-join as you'll get a warm welcome.

-Poor, Owain!

-Good luck to the

-South Wales Warriors...

-..for the rest of the season.

-Next, we're in the fashion corner.

-'Atygolion' or accessories...

-..are showcased by fashion expert,

-Helen Humphreys.

-This bag comes from Accessorize

-at Monsoon.

-It comes in this little packet.

-If you're going on holiday

-and pack your bag...

-..you place this in your bag.

-This is great for a day out,

-or going to the beach.

-I though that little packet

-fitted inside this big bag.

-It opens out in a big bag

-and is very light.

-It's got a long strap

-to put over your shoulder.

-It's handy to take on the plane.

-It would make a great cabin bag.

-You don't have to store it above you

-and have it hand to access it.

-You've sold it to Mari.

-All these other item

-are part of the collection.

-This clear bag is great for flying.

-You can store liquid items in it.

-There's a floral

-or hessian pattern on these bags.

-It's feminine

-and suits younger customers

-The hessian bag in the front

-has images of fruit on it...

-..along with cacti.

-Motifs are fashionable this season.

-There's smaller bags

-to coincide with it.

-It also comes equipped with a zip,

-so it's safely stores the contents.

-It's decorated with tassels

-which were popular in past seasons.

-It all adds the bag's appearances.

-We need some sunglasses

-to wear this next bag...

-..as it's slightly bright.

-There's a lot of metallic

-in the shops.

-There's also a tassel

-but it can be removed.

-It's a lovely bag for an older lady.

-Just throw everything inside it,

-it's a great size and fashionable.

-I'm glad to hear

-you've got something for me.

-I'm sure you carry

-a lot of things around.

-Yes, all those clothes

-I have to wear!

-It's a practical bag for all.

-It's a great bag for men as well.

-It's 79.99 from Marks and Spencer

-and it's an investment buy.

-It will last for a long time

-and folds down.

-There are straps on the sides

-to fold it into a smaller bag.

-It's a fantastic bag

-and has a classic look.

-It's expensive

-but it's good quality.

-You can also fit a lot in the bag.

-It's also a great bag

-to take on a plane...

-..because it's within

-the weight restrictions.

-What have we got

-on the left-hand side?

-The green bag is a khaki colour

-and is strong colour for the summer.

-It's a great bag that comes with

-a zip and is light to carry around.

-I think 90% of these bags here have

-a pocket to store your mobile phone.

-There's nothing uniform here

-as there's a vast variety of bags.

-Yes, we've a range of bags here.

-There are a variety of styles

-in the shops.

-You can pick any style of bag.

-You can also modernize bags that

-you've already got with tassels.

-You can create a tribal look.

-Thank you, Helen.

-It's the Easter holidays...

-..so how about

-making the most of it...

-..and visit one of most popular

-attractions in South-East Wales?

-The World Heritage Site

-in Blaenavon is amazing.

-In 1886, St Peter's School was built

-in Blaenavon by Sarah Hopkins...

-..in memory of her brother, Samuel

-who owned the Blaenavon Ironworks.

-Today, the site is home to the

-Blaenavon World Heritage Centre.

-The heritage centre commemorates

-those who changed the landscape.

-Its remains can still be seen...

-..with the old tramlines,

-the canal, the quarries and mines.

-There's an area where they extracted

-the iron from the land.

-These remains are still here.

-The centre has the story

-of this area.

-Prior to the Industrial Revolution,

-some 200 years ago...

-..this area was full of farms and

-everyone spoke Welsh not English.

-The arrival of Hopkins and Hill,

-who built the ironworks...

-..marked the start

-of the area's transformation.

-All this information

-is found within the centre.

-It's also home to a library,

-an upstairs gallery full of art...

-..and more importantly,

-a superb cafe!

-The centre isn't the only

-interesting place in the area.

-There's The Big Pit,

-a museum in the Workmen's Hall...

-..St Peter's Church that

-is part of the heritage centre...

-..and the glorious views

-of the local landscape.

-It's a beautiful place

-for people to visit.

-It's great for adults, Welsh

-learners, families and young people.

-We're a close-knit community,

-like many places in the Valleys.

-Many people don't necessarily

-support the local sites...

-..so a number of places

-rely on tourism...

-..but we have a great network

-and there's so much to do here.

-Just like any town,

-village or valley...

-..there's at least one interesting

-tale found in the history books.

-Lewis Browning wrote a book

-about the local history.

-He claimed that Llywelyn,

-the Prince of Wales...

-..fought the English on the hills

-near Blaenavon and Brynmawr...

-..and fled to the Clydach Vale

-where he hid in a cave.

-I don't know if that's true but

-that's what Lewis Browning claimed!

-People don't realize that we have

-a place like this in Torfaen.

-I'd encourage anyone to visit

-this site and The Big Pit too.

-Blaenavon and the Heads of

-the Valleys are very important.

-The tracks started here

-and opened up our industry...

-..in terms of America,

-Europe and Russia.

-This place changed the world

-and everyone should come here.

-Pay it a visit.

-It's time for a quick break.

-In the next part of the programme...

-..I visit a brand-new club...

-..for those who want

-to learn Welsh in Carmarthen.

-There's gardening tips

-from a YouTube star...

-..and we hear the story of

-a brave London Marathon runner.

-Go and make a quick cuppa

-and I'll see you shortly.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-I was recently invited to

-the Welsh centre in Carmarthen.

-The name of the centre is Yr Atom.

-They've started brand-new sessions

-for those who want to learn Welsh.

-The sessions are called Clwb Clecs.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

-

-Good afternoon.

-We held a trial on St Dwynwen's Day

-that brought our learners together.

-We asked them what would they like

-to see in Carmarthen for learners.

-They mentioned a club

-for a chance to chat.

-We organized a monthly club

-and invited guest speakers.

-Learners had a chance to enjoy

-an informal chat and ask questions.

-I spoke Welsh many years ago

-when I was at primary school.

-I've forgotten the language

-and have to learn it all again.

-I'm learning Welsh because I work

-for the council in Carmarthen...

-..and the community is Welsh.

-I wasn't Welsh when I came here.

-So...

-It's important that I learn Welsh.

-In order to go on the journey...

-When someone learns Welsh they lack

-confidence in using the language...

-..and don't like speaking

-to fluent Welsh speakers...

-..because of the lack of confidence.

-We try to create an atmosphere

-where they feel comfortable...

-..so they can use their Welsh.

-I work for the county council...

-..and we have a pairing scheme with

-learners and Welsh speaking mentors.

-Everyone attending the Welsh course

-at the council will have a mentor.

-I'm a mentor for two staff members

-in my department.

-They feel shy and uncertain.

-This club allows them

-to practice their Welsh...

-..outside of the classroom.

-They were wary about coming here,

-but they really enjoy it.

-We've had

-a fantastic response today...

-..from Welsh speakers and learners.

-It's vital that learners socialize

-with the Welsh community around us.

-And they can pick up

-so much Welsh on the street.

-They could bump into someone

-at any time and speak Welsh to them.

-It's the first time for us

-to attend this club.

-It's quite interesting.

-It's quite interesting.

-

-Yes, it is.

-People don't speak Welsh very well.

-What's 'very well' in Welsh?

-'Yn dda.'

-And it's nice to meet people here.

-It's a chance for us

-to practice the language.

-Is that good?

-Is that good?

-

-Well done. Fair play.

-Good luck to the Clwb Clecs.

-The young Welshman, Huw Richards

-who is originally from Yorkshire...

-..is the latest star on YouTube.

-Millions of people have viewed

-Huw's gardening videos...

-..that showcase all sorts of tips...

-..from planting to growing

-and how to save a penny or two.

-I moved here when I was

-nine months old from Yorkshire.

-My parents just wanted a place

-to grow food and farm animals.

-Being raised around this inspired me

-to create a YouTube channel.

-Welcome to Huw's Nursery.

-This is where I'll show you

-how to grow fresh organic produce...

-..in the garden inexpensively.

-I do everything myself,

-so I have to plant...

-..go out to film it and edit it.

-It's quite challenging

-as it's a long process.

-But I persevere and try to

-make one video every week.

-It takes around four hours to film.

-Facebook followers will notice

-that cooking videos are popular.

-They go viral

-and last for about 60 seconds.

-I thought about gardening as nobody

-else does 60-second gardening clips.

-I filmed a clip about growing peas.

-It got over four million views

-in a week.

-I've filmed more than 300 videos

-from planting potatoes...

-..to using ducks for

-pest-control in the garden.

-My most successful video

-is about growing tomatoes.

-I offered ten tips

-and I filmed it years ago.

-It's attracted over 800,000 views.

-I also made a video called

-Growing Potatoes: The Lazy Way.

-I want to prove that

-gardening is fun, easy...

-..and will save you money.

-It's a great time

-to start planting some seeds.

-I've already planted some spinach,

-beetroot and kale.

-It's warmer inside here, so I can

-start the planting process earlier.

-You'll be surprised at how much

-grapes our grapevine produces.

-Unfortunately, last year something

-devoured the whole lot overnight.

-It was a shock!

-This is Swiss chard and it's

-one of my favourite vegetables.

-It's quite nice to have some colour

-as it's still early in the season.

-But within a month, everything

-will look a lot more appealing.

-This is curly kale and it's ready

-to eat at the end of the season.

-It's a great way of having green

-vegetables throughout the season.

-We've got some purple

-sprouting broccoli here.

-It's considered to be a delicacy.

-I think the best word

-to describe me is perseverance.

-This is important when someone wants

-to create their own YouTube channel.

-You have to keep at it.

-I'm working on an idea

-that provides online courses.

-To learn how to grow your own food

-or find out more about what I do...

-..visit Huw's Nursery on YouTube.

-Thank you, Huw.

-A week today,

-London Marathon will be held.

-Running 26.2 miles

-can be very lonely.

-That's why a teacher

-from Carmarthenshire...

-..has asked for help

-from her pupils.

-Here's the remarkable story

-of Miss Jones and the children.

-Anyone taking part in a marathon

-deserves a medal.

-One teacher at Llangain School

-in Carmarthenshire...

-..is running the London Marathon

-in a few weeks.

-Yes, she deserves a medal

-but so do all the pupils.

-Every day for the past few months,

-the pupils have helped Miss Jones...

-..as she finishes her preparations

-around the school yard.

-I've run a few half-marathons

-but will do the London Marathon...

-..for TACT which is a charity

-for fostering and adoption.

-It means I can challenge myself

-whilst also helping a good cause.

-The children are encouraging

-and we spur each other on.

-We've done it every day

-and had a lot of fun.

-I hope it encourages them

-to keep fit in the coming years.

-The children aren't the only ones

-who exercise on a daily basis.

-As part of a government scheme

-to get us active...

-..the teachers

-need to lead by example.

-The Mile-a-Day scheme was started

-by the National Assembly this year.

-Llangain School started following

-the scheme since half term.

-It's important for children

-to do this in school...

-..because most go home and

-sit in front of a computer and iPad.

-It's a very miserable day but

-that isn't stopping the children.

-They are out in all weathers but

-it means I've got to join in too!

-What's your role

-as the school's ambassador, Arian?

-I organize the activities

-on the yard during playtime...

-..so that the other children

-can exercise.

-How important is it to exercise,

-Owain?

-It's very important as I like

-this weather and it keeps me fit.

-I enjoy exercising

-because it keeps me fit.

-Why do you enjoy exercising, Joshua?

-Why do you enjoy exercising, Joshua?

-

-I like running.

-Is it good to see the teachers

-exercising too, Izzy?

-Yes.

-Why is that?

-Why is that?

-

-It keeps you fit.

-The big day is on the horizon...

-..so how does Miss Jones feel about

-running 26 miles around London?

-I've got mixed emotions

-as I'm nervous, happy and worried.

-I hope the crowd carries me

-on the big day.

-Good luck to Miss Jones...

-..and everyone who is

-taking part in the London Marathon.

-That's it for now.

-In the final part...

-..we hear about a young lady

-from Llanfairpwll...

-..who has turned a personal tragedy

-into a triumph.

-We also have cleaning tips

-from Nerys Williams of Llangennech.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Welcome back.

-In May 2016...

-..Francesca Antoniazzi

-from Llanfairpwll...

-..had an accident

-that completely changed her life.

-Francesca is very positive

-and an inspiration for many people.

-As a result, she's the ambassador

-of the British wheelchair company...

-..RGK.

-Elin went to meet her.

-In May 2016, I went out with friends

-and fell from a great height.

-I was taken to Stoke

-straight after the fall...

-..and they operated on my back.

-It was four days into it all

-and I don't remember it...

-..but Dad told me that

-I'd said I had to get on with it.

-It was after nine days

-that I was taken to Oswestry.

-That was when I was told,

-"You won't be able to walk again."

-Mam had prepared me for it.

-I'm paralysed from the waist down

-and have no use of my legs.

-I spent three months in Oswestry

-where I did my physio...

-..which involved

-learning to keep my balance.

-I learnt to transfer myself

-to the toilet or into the shower.

-It's like starting

-from the beginning...

-..and being a baby where you start

-from the beginning again.

-Once a day for 30 minutes,

-I go in the standing frame.

-It helps circulation and stretches

-my lungs as I'm always seated.

-It helps a lot with that.

-Bear with me.

-How long did it take for you

-to get used to doing these things?

-It would take about ten minutes

-to get into this.

-OK.

-Alright?

-Alright?

-

-Ta-da!

-I left hospital and it took

-25 minutes to get dressed.

-I've got it down to two and a half

-minutes so it's getting easier.

-Before Francesca's accident, she

-loved sport and especially netball.

-This is a great example

-of her positive attitude.

-Nothing will stop her from

-doing the things she loves.

-I still wanted to do something

-after my accident.

-I still do some sport.

-I started training with

-the Anglesey Hawks Basketball Club.

-I'm getting into it and I enjoy it.

-On Wednesday, I come here with

-friends and family for a laugh.

-They enjoy it with me and experience

-what it's like in a wheelchair.

-We can't believe the way she is.

-It's difficult to explain.

-She has this desire

-to do what she wants.

-We're very proud of her...

-..and others admire her too.

-We're still friends

-despite the accident.

-It has strengthened our friendship.

-Francesca plays basketball and does

-some weightlifting every week...

-..and hopes to compete

-in the future.

-She's also been named as

-an ambassador for RGK Wheelchairs.

-RGK is a high-end wheelchair company

-with made-to-measure chairs.

-They made this chair

-after I helped with their video...

-..that shows there are

-rehabilitation centres...

-..and there is life after an injury.

-You can live a relatively

-normal life.

-I'm proud to be an ambassador...

-..as they must think I'm positive

-and can convey a message...

-..that life goes on

-after an accident of this kind.

-What an amazing story.

-We conclude today

-with a spot of cleaning.

-Let's hear about Nerys Williams and

-her cleaning company called Taclus.

-I worked in a pharmacy

-for many years but wanted a change.

-The plan was to spend more time with

-the children but it hasn't happened!

-A friend told me to start a cleaning

-business as I'm a bit obsessed.

-I didn't think it was a bad idea

-so I established Taclus.

-I work from top to bottom but

-every home and client are different.

-Clean to one person

-could be filthy to the next!

-I meet clients and chat with them

-but I like to go the extra mile.

-I bring flowers on my first visit.

-It's a nice ice breaker.

-In the build up to Christmas...

-..I had over 30 homes in one week.

-A lot of people use Twitter

-and Facebook these days.

-They are a great way to advertize.

-Their feedback makes my job easier.

-There's a rating system and I get

-to meet a lot of people like that.

-Taclus is successful because

-I'm always ahead of the game.

-I always do my research

-to find new top tips.

-One house is very different to

-the next so you need to be careful.

-I always test new cleaning methods

-in my own home first.

-It doesn't matter if I ruin

-something in my own home!

-My first top tip is quite unusual.

-I put cool and weak tea in a spray.

-It's applied to a lint-free cloth

-to clean the mirror.

-The tannic acid in the tea helps

-to prevent streaks and it's amazing!

-Finish it by buffing it

-with either newspaper.

-Coffee filters

-are also amazing for this.

-I love this next tip as it's great

-if you have small children like me.

-They drop Lego or I lose jewellery

-and I don't want them up the hoover.

-Cut up an old pair of tights

-on the thickest part...

-..put it over the pipe and attach it

-with a bobble or elastic band.

-It picks up the Lego or jewellery...

-..but it won't go up the hoover.

-This is a device

-to help you fold your clothes.

-It can be bought online

-and comes in an array of sizes.

-I'm using a larger one

-to fold this t-shirt.

-Prepare to be amazed!

-One, two, three.

-That takes the stress

-out of folding.

-I've got another lovely tip

-to help your flowers last longer.

-I've got a teaspoon of salt.

-Move the flowers carefully,

-add the salt...

-..and give it a shake.

-Another tip that you might not

-have heard about before...

-..is to place your toothbrushes

-in the dishwasher.

-You don't need a tablet

-but set it at 40 to 60 degrees...

-..so the water is hot enough

-to kill any germs or bacteria.

-I love it.

-I'll be cleaning after you've gone!

-You're welcome to clean

-my house any time, Nerys!

-That's it from us today.

-The hour has flown.

-I'll be back next week.

-Until then,

-keep practicing your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-and have fun whilst doing it.

-Good morning to you all.
