-..to welcoming back

-the Eisteddfod after many years.

0:05:130:05:17

-It's been over a century since

0:05:170:05:22

-It's about time that it returns.

-Alan, happy St Dwynwen's Day!

0:05:400:05:42

-Fantastic.

0:05:430:05:44

-I'm sure people from Anglesey to

-Monmouthshire celebrated in style.

0:05:440:05:50

-It's National Breakfast Week...

0:05:500:05:52

-..when we're encouraged to eat

-the most important meal of the day.

0:05:520:05:57

-To celebrate,

-Daf filled his boots...

0:05:570:06:01

-..and along the way,

-he came across a familiar face.

0:06:010:06:05

-It's said that breakfast is the

-most important meal of the day.

0:06:060:06:10

-I'm not the biggest fan

-of breakfast.

0:06:100:06:13

-But, I've made an effort

-for Breakfast Week.

0:06:140:06:17

-I'm visiting three places that serve

-completely different breakfasts.

0:06:170:06:22

-I'm starting at the four-star

-Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli.

0:06:230:06:27

-Sylvia, what sort of experience

-does the hotel offer its guests?

0:06:280:06:32

-The essential part to the breakfast

-that all the guests love...

0:06:330:06:37

-..is the ability to eat fresh

-produce at breakfast.

0:06:380:06:42

-There's fresh fruit

-and fresh bacon and eggs.

0:06:430:06:48

-You can be very posh

-and choose fresh salmon too.

0:06:480:06:52

-Everything on this table

-has been sourced locally.

0:06:530:06:56

-Do you eat like this every morning?

0:06:570:06:58

-Do you eat like this every morning?

-

-No, not every morning.

0:06:580:07:01

-I normally opt for cornflakes!

0:07:010:07:03

-Let's tuck in

-to this delicious breakfast.

0:07:030:07:06

-Do you mind if I have your plate?

0:07:070:07:09

-I'll be a gentleman

-and let you have it.

0:07:100:07:14

-Thank you very much.

0:07:140:07:16

-You can have the full breakfast

-and I'll have fruit.

0:07:160:07:20

-What a great start

-- a bowl of healthy fruit!

0:07:220:07:26

-I'm sure that the breakfast at the

-next location won't be as healthy.

0:07:270:07:32

-In Glanamman, Helen Williams runs

-a famous burger van, Pethau Poeth.

0:07:330:07:38

-Good morning, Helen.

0:07:380:07:39

-Good morning, Helen.

-

-Good morning.

0:07:390:07:40

-What can I have for breakfast?

0:07:410:07:43

-Our best seller

-is the breakfast bap.

0:07:430:07:46

-It contains bacon, a sausage

-and egg and it's very tasty.

0:07:460:07:50

-Would you like a small or large bap?

0:07:500:07:52

-I'll go for a small one...

-No, I'll have a large!

0:07:520:07:56

-Seven years ago, I'd had enough

-of working for other people.

0:07:560:08:01

-I needed a job that fitted around

-my young family and the school run.

0:08:010:08:06

-Therefore,

-I decided to open this van.

0:08:060:08:09

-What's your favourite thing

-from the menu?

0:08:100:08:12

-I'll eat anything.

0:08:130:08:15

-I always have a double cheeseburger.

0:08:150:08:19

-Does Helen make

-the best breakfast in the world?

0:08:190:08:22

-Yes, that's why I always come back.

0:08:230:08:25

-Helen's food also attracts

-a few famous faces.

0:08:260:08:29

-Shane, how often do you eat

-from Helen's van?

0:08:300:08:33

-I come here quite often...

0:08:330:08:35

-..as our business

-is situated next door.

0:08:360:08:40

-I always order a coffee,

-wrap of breakfast.

0:08:400:08:43

-What do you normally have

-for breakfast?

0:08:440:08:47

-I'm currently training for the

-Ironman so I'm eating healthily.

0:08:480:08:52

-I'll have porridge

-or toast with a poached egg.

0:08:520:08:56

-Sometimes, I do treat myself

-to a chicken wrap from Helen's van.

0:08:560:09:01

-Does she make the best chicken wrap?

0:09:010:09:03

-Yes, it's the world's best

-chicken wrap.

0:09:030:09:06

-Thank you very much.

0:09:100:09:12

-I ended my breakfast journey

-at Caffi Rhiannon in Cross Hands.

0:09:130:09:17

-Rhiannon, you're famous

-for your cooked breakfast.

0:09:170:09:21

-Tell me about your breakfast.

0:09:210:09:23

-We offer a small

-or large breakfast...

0:09:240:09:26

-..poached or scrambled eggs

-and cereals so a bit of everything.

0:09:260:09:31

-The cafe was jam-packed...

0:09:310:09:34

-..so I asked the customers

-what they have for breakfast.

0:09:340:09:38

-When I'm home,

-I always have Shreddies.

0:09:380:09:41

-When I come here,

-I prefer to order a fry up.

0:09:410:09:44

-I have Cheerios at home but opt

-for a fry up when I come here.

0:09:450:09:49

-What do you enjoy

-having for breakfast at home?

0:09:490:09:52

-I only have cornflakes

-or Shredded Wheat.

0:09:530:09:56

-I like bacon, eggs, beans and toast.

0:09:560:09:59

-How often do you eat that?

0:09:590:10:01

-I only have it every Friday.

0:10:010:10:04

-Despite retiring...

0:10:050:10:06

-..breakfast sets me up

-for the day ahead.

0:10:070:10:11

-I won't need anything else to eat

-until the six o'clock news.

0:10:110:10:15

-Is breakfast

-an important part of your day?

0:10:160:10:19

-Yes, you must eat in the morning

-to fill your belly.

0:10:190:10:23

-I've certainly celebrated

-Breakfast Week in style.

0:10:250:10:28

-For someone who doesn't

-enjoy breakfast...

0:10:290:10:32

-..I've done quite well

-by eating three breakfasts!

0:10:320:10:35

-I'm going to tuck into

-my third plate...

0:10:360:10:38

-..that will fill me up

-until next year!

0:10:390:10:42

-Last week, 2,000 pupils from

-Gwynedd primary schools...

0:10:430:10:48

-..had the opportunity to see

-the Tag and Rimbo-jam show.

0:10:480:10:52

-The show was organized by Gwynedd

-Language Charter, S4C, the Urdd...

0:10:520:10:56

-..and Welsh-language

-Children's Poet Laureate.

0:10:570:11:00

-The aim was to inspire children

-to use Welsh in their daily lives...

0:11:000:11:05

-..by having fun.

0:11:050:11:08

-This is the last of four shows

-that we've performed in Gwynedd.

0:11:160:11:22

-It's a show by Stwnsh...

0:11:220:11:24

-..and Rimbo-jam by the Urdd.

0:11:250:11:27

-It's in conjunction with

-the Gwynedd Welsh Language Charter.

0:11:270:11:31

-This is a great way to have fun

-and promote the language in schools.

0:11:320:11:38

-Yes, the response from the audience

-has been fantastic.

0:11:380:11:43

-I thoroughly enjoyed it

-as it was outstanding.

0:11:450:11:49

-It's the best morning I've ever had.

0:11:490:11:52

-I liked it when DJ Sal

-sprayed everyone with water.

0:11:550:11:59

-I enjoyed the singing and dancing.

0:11:590:12:03

-I liked the games, songs...

0:12:030:12:07

-..and DJ Sal was funny too.

0:12:070:12:11

-Children have so much choice and

-the Internet has blown their minds.

0:12:160:12:22

-It's difficult to get children

-to watch Welsh programmes...

0:12:220:12:26

-..and S4C is just one channel

-out of thousands.

0:12:270:12:30

-If they can enjoy items

-and activities in Welsh...

0:12:300:12:33

-..then that would be brilliant.

0:12:340:12:37

-It's great for them to meet

-the presenters as they own Stwnsh.

0:12:370:12:41

-It's important for us all to sing

-Welsh songs together and have fun.

0:12:480:12:54

-People get to hear songs

-and learn about the programmes.

0:12:540:12:59

-It's important to do this in Welsh

-and it's excellent that we do it.

0:12:590:13:05

-The children obviously

-enjoyed themselves.

0:13:100:13:13

-If you'd like to learn more about

-Gwynedd Language Charter...

0:13:130:13:17

-..the details are on the screen now.

0:13:180:13:20

-After the break...

0:13:200:13:23

-..the author, Lois Arnold will

-discuss her new book, Ffenestri.

0:13:240:13:28

-Alun visits a new Welsh language

-class in the Roath area of Cardiff.

0:13:290:13:34

-Rhodri Gomer meets

-a Swansea man...

-Welcome back.

0:13:580:14:00

-At the Newport National Eisteddfod

-in 2014...

0:14:000:14:04

-..Lois Arnold from Surrey won

-the Welsh Learner of the Year title.

0:14:040:14:09

-Since then, Lois has been busy

-writing books for Welsh learners...

0:14:090:14:13

-..and recently,

-she published her fourth book.

0:14:140:14:17

-Last week, Lois opened the covers

-of our Book Club on Prynhawn Da.

0:14:170:14:23

-Twenty years ago, before I came

-to Wales, I lived in Bristol.

0:14:240:14:28

-I came to Wales a lot

-because of my work.

0:14:280:14:31

-At that point I realized,

-I would prefer to live in Wales.

0:14:320:14:36

-Moving to Wales is quite a leap...

0:14:360:14:39

-..but what did you find appealing

-about the Welsh language?

0:14:390:14:43

-It isn't an easy language to learn.

0:14:430:14:45

-I felt that if I lived in Wales,

-I should learn the language.

0:14:460:14:50

-I thought I should at least

-be able to pronounce placenames...

0:14:500:14:54

-..and understand a bit of S4C.

0:14:550:14:57

-But I caught the bug

-and continued to learn the language.

0:14:580:15:02

-Did winning the title

-of Welsh Learner of the Year...

0:15:030:15:06

-..inspire you to write the books

-for other Welsh learners?

0:15:060:15:12

-Yes and I've also started working

-as a Welsh tutor.

0:15:120:15:17

-To me, it was obvious...

0:15:170:15:19

-..that reading is a big help

-as you learn a language.

0:15:190:15:23

-It's something you can do alone,

-without a class.

0:15:240:15:27

-Were there enough books available

-for learners?

0:15:270:15:33

-It's been 18 years

-since I started to learn...

0:15:330:15:39

-..and there were only a small number

-of children's books.

0:15:390:15:45

-We need reading material

-for all levels...

0:15:450:15:50

-..including some for beginners.

0:15:500:15:52

-You must have something

-to read to encourage you.

0:15:530:15:57

-It must be difficult

-to learn any language...

0:15:570:16:02

-..and everyone faces a challenge.

0:16:020:16:05

-Did you find a word or rule

-that would catch you out?

0:16:050:16:11

-I struggled with the pronunciation.

0:16:110:16:14

-Many learners dislike the word

-'cyfrifiadur' or computer.

0:16:140:16:20

-There's a poem in this book

-about a computer.

0:16:200:16:25

-Yes, I'm speaking from experience.

0:16:250:16:28

-I'm quite the nerd...

0:16:280:16:33

-..and I liked

-learning the mutations and rules.

0:16:340:16:38

-You'll have to help me, Lois.

0:16:380:16:41

-You're the perfect candidate

-to write this volume.

0:16:410:16:45

-You've included many poetry pieces

-in the book.

0:16:450:16:48

-The title of the chapters are also

-very appealing including "Oops".

0:16:480:16:53

-It makes you want to read more.

0:16:540:16:58

-The chapter is about a man,

-who works with computers...

0:16:590:17:03

-..at a television studio...

0:17:030:17:06

-..but they think

-he's there for filming.

0:17:060:17:10

-Tell us more about the poem...

0:17:100:17:12

-..on page 64 about the

-Six Nations Championship.

0:17:120:17:16

-I've written a poem

-about the Six Nations.

0:17:170:17:20

-"The big game."

0:17:200:17:22

-"I'm off to see the rugby,

-I'm brimming with excitement."

0:17:220:17:26

-"I'm going to watch Wales,

-in the world's best stadium."

0:17:260:17:30

-"I pack my Wales flag

-and wear my Welsh shirt."

0:17:310:17:34

-"I place a scarf around my neck

-and paint a dragon on cheek."

0:17:350:17:40

-The poem ends

-with the story of the game.

0:17:400:17:44

-"Wales have beaten the English..."

0:17:440:17:47

-"..but next we face

-France and Ireland."

0:17:480:17:52

-"We hope to win against

-Italy and Scotland."

0:17:530:17:56

-"Will you be here to celebrate

-if Wales win the cup?"

0:17:560:18:00

-Fantastic.

0:18:000:18:01

-Fantastic.

-

-We're ready for the championship.

0:18:010:18:04

-The vocabulary

-at the bottom of the page...

0:18:040:18:10

-..is a great addition.

0:18:110:18:13

-This will be a big help

-for learners.

0:18:130:18:17

-Yes, I try and make sure

-that I follow course patterns.

0:18:170:18:22

-If there's any new vocabulary,

-I like to add it to help people.

0:18:220:18:26

-There's plenty of humour

-and sadness in this book.

0:18:270:18:30

-There's something for everyone.

0:18:300:18:32

-There's something for everyone.

-

-I hope there's enough variety.

0:18:320:18:34

-With simple stories...

0:18:340:18:39

-..you need a bit of humour

-or a strong story.

0:18:390:18:44

-Did humour help you as a learner?

0:18:440:18:48

-Did humour help you as a learner?

-

-Yes.

0:18:480:18:50

-Since becoming a Welsh learner...

0:18:500:18:54

-..I've discovered

-a new sense of humour.

0:18:540:19:00

-That's very interesting.

0:19:010:19:03

-You might not have the same humour

-in the English language.

0:19:030:19:08

-Yes, you have to be able to laugh

-at yourself as a learner.

0:19:080:19:14

-You can't take things seriously.

0:19:140:19:17

-Laughter is the answer

-to many things.

0:19:170:19:20

-Thank you, Lois.

0:19:200:19:23

-Ffenestri by Lois Arnold is 7.99

-and published by Gwasg Gomer.

0:19:230:19:27

-Thank you, Lois.

0:19:280:19:30

-It was lovely to meet Lois.

0:19:320:19:34

-Don't forget to read Ffenestri.

0:19:340:19:39

-If you live in Cardiff...

0:19:390:19:41

-..and would like to speak

-to others in Welsh...

0:19:410:19:44

-..the next story will interest you.

0:19:450:19:47

-Menter Caerdydd have started new

-Welsh language sessions in Roath...

0:19:470:19:52

-..and they're searching

-for new members.

0:19:530:19:56

-Following our success with

-Welsh language learner groups...

0:20:000:20:04

-..in the west of the city...

0:20:040:20:08

-..Menter Caerdydd have

-started new classes in the east.

0:20:080:20:12

-Thanks to the Cameo Club

-on Wellfield Road...

0:20:130:20:16

-..our sessions are held

-every Monday morning...

0:20:160:20:20

-..offering learners

-the chance to practice.

0:20:200:20:24

-I usually attend

-Clonc yn y Cwtch at Chapter.

0:20:240:20:28

-I wanted to meet others,

-possibly make friends...

0:20:280:20:33

-..and practice my Welsh.

0:20:330:20:35

-I started learning

-Welsh at school...

0:20:360:20:41

-..and completed my O' Level,

-A' Level and other small courses.

0:20:410:20:46

-I need to practice my Welsh to keep

-the language fresh in my mind.

0:20:460:20:52

-Most of the learners who come to us

-speak very good Welsh.

0:20:520:20:56

-However, this doesn't mean that

-we don't welcome all learners.

0:20:560:21:01

-If a learner wants to come

-and listen, that's OK.

0:21:020:21:05

-Some come and listen for a few

-sessions, before chatting with us.

0:21:050:21:10

-What advice would you

-give to those...

0:21:100:21:13

-..who have found it difficult

-to learn the language?

0:21:130:21:18

-Make sure you attend lessons...

0:21:180:21:20

-..and chat with as many people

-as you can during the break.

0:21:210:21:25

-Chat with somebody on a mobile phone

-and text them...

0:21:250:21:30

-..which is also good practice.

0:21:300:21:33

-Try writing a Welsh email...

0:21:330:21:37

-..and read as much Welsh as you can.

0:21:370:21:40

-We also offer a session

-on a Thursday evening from 7.00pm.

0:21:420:21:46

-Some of our learners are in work

-during the day...

0:21:460:21:50

-..and so the Thursday evening

-session is better for them.

0:21:500:21:55

-You can join us for a pint

-every Thursday at 7pm!

0:21:550:21:58

-There's a warm welcome to all.

0:21:580:22:01

-Don't forget to visit Cameo

-on Wellfield Road in Roath.

0:22:040:22:08

-A warm welcome awaits you.

0:22:080:22:10

-Have you heard of the sport,

-jiu-jitsu?

0:22:110:22:14

-No, neither have I!

0:22:150:22:17

-Rhodri Gomer has been to meet

-a champion of the sport.

0:22:170:22:22

-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or BJJ...

0:22:250:22:28

-..is a modification

-of Japanese Jiu Jitsu.

0:22:280:22:32

-The Gracie brothers from Brazil...

0:22:320:22:35

-..developed it

-into something unique.

0:22:360:22:38

-Its three elements are self-defence,

-mixed martial arts and grappling.

0:22:390:22:45

-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

-has two techniques of gi or no-gi.

0:22:450:22:50

-These are the two techniques

-of competing in a tournament.

0:22:500:22:54

-Each round lasts between five and

-ten minutes and you score points.

0:22:550:22:59

-You win points

-by beating your opponent...

0:22:590:23:02

-..but also when the referee steps

-in and there's a submission.

0:23:030:23:08

-One member of the academy...

0:23:090:23:12

-..excels in no-gi and was ranked

-first in the world in 2015.

0:23:130:23:17

-It's the former Ysgol Bryn Tawe

-pupil, Ashley Williams.

0:23:170:23:21

-I reached the brown belt and Chris

-said that I could go further...

0:23:220:23:27

-..and achieve things that would

-make people look up to me.

0:23:270:23:33

-Last year, I was lucky enough...

0:23:330:23:38

-..to win the European Championships.

0:23:380:23:40

-This took my world ranking

-from six to one.

0:23:410:23:46

-You've reached the top and do some

-training so can I have a few tips?

0:23:460:23:51

-Yes, of course

-and that would be brilliant.

0:23:510:23:55

-What are we doing today?

0:23:590:24:01

-I'll show you a hip bump sweep

-from a closed guard...

0:24:010:24:05

-..to a cross-collar choke and mount.

0:24:050:24:08

-I'll take hold of your sleeve...

0:24:080:24:11

-..put my hand out and place my arm

-under your shoulder.

0:24:110:24:15

-I'll move in,

-kneel and roll you over.

0:24:150:24:19

-So it's one, two and three.

0:24:220:24:25

-Eight of us who train every day...

0:24:260:24:29

-..and there's a great

-family feeling here.

0:24:290:24:32

-It doesn't matter who you are

-or where you're from...

0:24:330:24:37

-..but you can compete

-and the team will support you.

0:24:370:24:40

-When I competed in the

-British Championships in November...

0:24:410:24:46

-..I won the bronze medal...

0:24:460:24:49

-..but the team was very supportive.

0:24:490:24:54

-It doesn't look like hard work, but

-you need to a high level of fitness.

0:24:550:25:00

-The health benefits has boosted the

-sport in men, women and children.

0:25:000:25:06

-A lot of women joined in January

-to get fit and lose weight...

0:25:070:25:12

-..as there's been a lot of hype

-in the press about the sport.

0:25:120:25:16

-We have a scheme

-called Mat Rats for children.

0:25:160:25:20

-If a child misbehaves in school,

-they are stopped from training...

0:25:200:25:25

-..so this helps with discipline.

0:25:250:25:30

-What's next for you?

0:25:300:25:32

-The World Championships

-are in May...

0:25:330:25:36

-..so I need points

-to get into the tournament.

0:25:360:25:42

-Next month, I've got three

-points-scoring competitions.

0:25:420:25:47

-I hope to be one of five people...

0:25:470:25:50

-..to enter the championship

-from the UK.

0:25:500:25:55

-It'll be great to get there

-and even better if I win something!

0:25:550:26:00

-Thank you, Ashley and good luck with

-scoring the championship points.

0:26:000:26:05

-We hope to see you in California.

0:26:050:26:08

-We wish all the best to Ashley.

0:26:150:26:17

-Join us in a couple of minutes...

0:26:180:26:21

-..when Yvonne is with a lively crew

-at Bargoed Rugby Club.

0:26:210:26:25

-Rhodri Davies also joins

-the members of Aelwyd Llundain.

0:26:250:26:30

-See you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back to Bore Da.

0:26:440:26:47

-Recently, S4C held a week to

-celebrate the South Wales Valleys.

0:26:470:26:51

-The week focused on

-this special area of South Wales.

0:26:510:26:55

-To celebrate,

-Yvonne visited Bargoed Rugby Club...

0:26:560:27:00

-..and she received

-a fantastic welcome.

0:27:000:27:03

-I've always loved the Valleys and I

-always receive a fantastic welcome.

0:27:040:27:09

-I'm live from Bargoed Rugby Club

-in the Rhymney Valley.

0:27:090:27:13

-During the Industrial Revolution...

0:27:130:27:16

-..thousands of people from across

-the world flocked to this valley...

0:27:160:27:21

-..in search of work.

0:27:210:27:23

-Some people have also

-found their way from Anglesey.

0:27:240:27:27

-Here's the story.

0:27:280:27:30

-This is Factory Road.

0:27:350:27:37

-For me, this is the old Bargoed,

-which is the reason for its name.

0:27:380:27:42

-The houses were built

-resting against the mountain.

0:27:430:27:47

-Professor Melville Richards uses

-this as the meaning of Bargoed...

0:27:480:27:52

-..and Factory Road was built

-in the shadows of the mountain.

0:27:530:27:57

-The family of Evan James, who

-wrote Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau moved here.

0:27:580:28:03

-His brother had a woollen mill

-in the area...

0:28:040:28:08

-..and his sister also moved here.

0:28:080:28:11

-It's the most interesting place

-in the Rhymney Valley...

0:28:110:28:15

-..thanks to the placename

-and links with Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

0:28:150:28:20

-The area was home

-to eight coal mines.

0:28:210:28:25

-Lowry painted a picture

-of Bargoed in 1965...

0:28:250:28:31

-..depicting the coal mines

-and the busy industry...

0:28:310:28:37

-..but it all dwindled away

-in the last 50 years.

0:28:380:28:42

-In the town centre

-on Hanbury Road...

0:28:460:28:50

-..there's the

-Hanbury Baptist Chapel.

0:28:500:28:53

-The chapel closed many years ago...

0:28:530:28:56

-..and Caerphilly Council had the

-vision to turn it into a library.

0:28:560:29:02

-It's a wonderful library

-that's worth a visit.

0:29:020:29:05

-My education brought me

-to the area in 1964...

0:29:060:29:10

-..and this Anglesey man

-has stayed in the Rhymney Valley.

0:29:100:29:14

-It's heaven on earth and I love the

-history that's linked with Bargoed.

0:29:140:29:19

-This delightful valley

-has witnessed change...

0:29:220:29:25

-..but the rugby club

-is still at its heart.

0:29:250:29:29

-Bargoed Rugby Club

-was founded in 1882.

0:29:290:29:33

-The first team are the championship

-leaders and hope for a promotion.

0:29:340:29:39

-I've played for Bargoed for

-two years and they're a great team.

0:29:410:29:46

-I play number eight

-although I look like a prop!

0:29:470:29:50

-I'm the centre

-for the first team at Bargoed.

0:29:510:29:54

-Last year,

-I was named player of the year...

0:29:540:29:58

-..and I hope to do the same again.

0:29:590:30:01

-We won the league last year, after

-only losing one match to Merthyr...

0:30:020:30:07

-..and we're proud to have won

-the championship last year too.

0:30:070:30:13

-The youngsters

-are also proud of their club.

0:30:140:30:17

-I play for the Bargoed Under 7s.

0:30:190:30:22

-I like playing rugby

-because we play as a team.

0:30:230:30:26

-I'm the first prop.

0:30:280:30:29

-I'm the first prop.

-

-I'm the third prop.

0:30:290:30:31

-I play in the second row.

0:30:310:30:33

-We love Bargoed!

0:30:330:30:35

-Come on, Bargoed!

0:30:350:30:37

-Everybody loves Bargoed.

0:30:420:30:45

-We saw Ross Coombs

-training in that item.

0:30:450:30:49

-Welcome, Ross.

0:30:500:30:51

-Welcome, Ross.

-

-Thank you, Yvonne.

0:30:510:30:53

-You mentioned that Bargoed were the

-winners of the league last year.

0:30:530:30:57

-I'm sure you celebrated in style.

0:30:580:31:00

-We had a big party.

0:31:000:31:02

-To be honest,

-we had more than one party!

0:31:020:31:05

-The new season started in September.

0:31:050:31:08

-How are the team doing this year?

0:31:080:31:10

-The season has been hindered.

0:31:100:31:14

-We lost the first two games,

-we started to turn a corner...

0:31:140:31:18

-..but the rain came in and we've

-had six weeks off around Christmas.

0:31:180:31:24

-The players think that our captain

-had time off over Christmas...

0:31:250:31:29

-..to play one of the dwarfs

-in a Snow White pantomime.

0:31:290:31:34

-Leigh is with us now.

0:31:340:31:36

-You have to put up

-with a lot of jokes.

0:31:360:31:39

-How was the pantomime?

0:31:390:31:41

-It was nice to have six weeks off

-from these lot.

0:31:410:31:44

-You've been the Bargoed captain

-for ten years...

0:31:450:31:48

-..which is an incredible

-achievement.

0:31:480:31:51

-CHEERS

0:31:510:31:53

-It's a great club...

0:31:530:31:55

-..and it's been the hardest

-ten years of my life.

0:31:550:31:59

-It's a fantastic club.

0:31:590:32:00

-It's a fantastic club.

-

-Well done, Leigh.

0:32:000:32:01

-Are you related to

-the famous Coombs, Ross?

0:32:020:32:06

-Andrew Coombs who plays

-for the Dragons and Wales.

0:32:060:32:09

-You've started

-a new business together.

0:32:100:32:13

-Yes, Coombs Construction Services.

0:32:130:32:17

-We're preparing for the time

-that Andrew will retire from rugby.

0:32:170:32:22

-Who do you face tomorrow?

0:32:220:32:25

-Tomorrow, we'll be playing Narberth.

0:32:250:32:27

-Earlier in the season, we beat them

-but tomorrow will be tough.

0:32:280:32:32

-Good luck.

0:32:320:32:33

-Neil Carter has been Chairman of

-Bargoed Rugby Club for 14 years.

0:32:340:32:38

-You also own a successful

-construction business.

0:32:380:32:42

-Where do you get the time to do it?

0:32:420:32:44

-We have to give the club our time.

0:32:440:32:47

-I've benefitted greatly from

-being a part of this club...

0:32:470:32:52

-..and it's a pleasure

-to be involved...

0:32:520:32:55

-..and to see the younger generation

-making their way through.

0:32:550:33:00

-Well done, Neil.

0:33:000:33:02

-The pitch developments

-are ongoing...

0:33:020:33:05

-..with the hope that Bargoed

-make it through to the premiership.

0:33:050:33:10

-Back to you in the studio.

0:33:100:33:12

-Goodbye from Bargoed Rugby Club.

0:33:120:33:15

-Yvonne obviously had a great time.

0:33:170:33:20

-We head from Bargoed to London.

0:33:200:33:23

-A new choir has formed

-in the city...

0:33:230:33:26

-..and they hope to compete at the

-Monmouthshire Eisteddfod this year.

0:33:260:33:31

-Rhodri Davies has been to meet

-the enthusiastic members.

0:33:310:33:36

-From a visual highlight

-to a historical highlight.

0:33:360:33:40

-The biggest achievement

-for the Cor y Boro choir...

0:33:400:33:44

-..was winning at the National

-Eisteddfod in Liverpool in 1929.

0:33:440:33:48

-To understand the choir's history,

-you must learn about this chapel...

0:33:480:33:53

-..the Borough Welsh

-Congregational Chapel in Southwark.

0:33:530:33:57

-# I don't ask for a luxurious life #

0:33:580:34:04

-It's a stunning chapel

-that looks just like a Welsh chapel.

0:34:040:34:09

-It has a very homely

-and comfortable feel.

0:34:090:34:14

-The original chapel

-was established in 1806.

0:34:140:34:19

-The first minister

-was a man from Carmarthen.

0:34:190:34:23

-The chapel has a tradition of

-having ministers from Carmarthen.

0:34:230:34:27

-Another of the chapel's traditions

-is competing in the Eisteddfod.

0:34:280:34:32

-The original Cor y Boro choir won...

0:34:330:34:36

-..at the Eisteddfod in Liverpool

-in 1929.

0:34:360:34:39

-They came third in Aberavon in 1932.

0:34:400:34:45

-Mike is eager to recreate

-the success of the former choir.

0:34:460:34:50

-He's reformed the choir for

-a new generation of London Welsh.

0:34:500:34:55

-I work in the city...

0:34:550:34:59

-..and my office is based

-just around the corner...

0:34:590:35:04

-..from the Shard, the Walkie-Talkie

-building and the Gherkin.

0:35:050:35:09

-There's also a little piece

-of Wales here in London.

0:35:090:35:13

-We hope this choir will boost Welsh

-religion and culture in London.

0:35:130:35:18

-I established a male

-and female choir...

0:35:200:35:24

-..but the time has come

-to form a mixed choir.

0:35:250:35:28

-The new choir was established

-to compete at the Eisteddfod...

0:35:280:35:32

-..to showcase the talents

-of the London Welsh.

0:35:330:35:36

-# Is fairer than the pretty lily #

0:35:360:35:42

-I'm a third generation London Welsh.

0:35:420:35:45

-My father's family came here

-from Ceredigion.

0:35:450:35:50

-I must praise Mike

-for his work here in London.

0:35:500:35:56

-Those who visit London...

0:35:560:36:02

-..don't realize the vibrancy

-of the Welsh language.

0:36:020:36:08

-Last night, this was certainly

-evident at the London Welsh Centre.

0:36:090:36:14

-This is where the choir congregated

-after a day's work.

0:36:140:36:18

-It's wonderful to welcome the choir

-as they reflect London life.

0:36:190:36:24

-Welsh culture is alive in London.

0:36:240:36:27

-It's encouraging to see young people

-celebrating their Welsh roots.

0:36:270:36:32

-The social aspect

-is all-important...

0:36:320:36:35

-..but the choir also has

-a special event coming up soon.

0:36:360:36:41

-Before the Eisteddfod...

0:36:420:36:45

-..we'll sing at

-Alan Rickman's funeral.

0:36:450:36:49

-Alan Rickman's widow said that he

-was a big fan of male voice choirs.

0:36:490:36:54

-We hope to bring something special

-to his funeral.

0:36:540:36:58

-It's wonderful to witness

-the resurgence of the social scene.

0:37:000:37:04

-More Welsh people

-are moving to London.

0:37:050:37:08

-I moved from Port Talbot

-where people are losing their jobs.

0:37:090:37:13

-If anyone moves to London for work,

-there's a warm welcome for them.

0:37:130:37:17

-# Feed me till I want no more #

0:37:180:37:25

-Good luck to the crew.

0:37:260:37:27

-They sounded great.

0:37:270:37:29

-In the final part

-of the programme...

0:37:290:37:32

-..following the recent rain,

-the village of Eglwyswrw...

0:37:330:37:38

-..has been nicknamed, Wet-lwyswrw.

0:37:380:37:41

-Miss Wales 2015 will have

-the latest beauty trends.

0:37:410:37:46

-See you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

0:38:010:38:02

-The weather has been awful

-recently...

0:38:020:38:06

-..with wind and rain constantly

-appearing on the weather forecast.

0:38:060:38:11

-The village of Eglwyswrw

-in Pembrokeshire...

0:38:110:38:14

-..almost broke the record for the

-most consecutive days of rainfall.

0:38:150:38:19

-It rained in the village

-for 84 days.

0:38:200:38:24

-But on the record-breaking day,

-the rain stopped.

0:38:240:38:28

-They haven't broken the record...

0:38:280:38:30

-..but the village is famous

-for its terrible weather...

0:38:300:38:34

-..with some giving it

-the nickname of Wet-lwyswrw.

0:38:350:38:39

-Rain, rain, rain

-and even more rain!

0:38:390:38:45

-Over the past few months,

-we've all been talking about rain.

0:38:450:38:49

-Eglwyswrw has become

-accustomed to the rain.

0:38:500:38:53

-In this village in the

-North-West of Pembrokeshire...

0:38:560:39:00

-..it rained for 84 days.

0:39:000:39:03

-We're used to rain because

-of our geographical location.

0:39:030:39:08

-It's been non-stop...

0:39:080:39:10

-..and we had a horrible spell

-until the turn of the Old New Year.

0:39:100:39:16

-On the 85th day, the sun came out

-and the day remained dry.

0:39:170:39:21

-The church is situated behind us.

0:39:210:39:25

-On the 84th day,

-the prayers had changed...

0:39:250:39:28

-..from asking for dry weather...

0:39:280:39:32

-..to praying for even more rain!

0:39:320:39:35

-One woman told me...

0:39:350:39:37

-..that they sang "Singing in the

-Rain" and not "Bring me Sunshine."

0:39:380:39:42

-Tom Hazledon has been recording

-the weather for the past few months.

0:39:420:39:47

-We started collecting weather data

-41 years ago to this coming March.

0:39:470:39:52

-We've spent quite a long time

-doing it manually.

0:39:520:39:56

-We had been doing it

-the old, hard way.

0:39:560:39:59

-Now, we're extremely modern

-and posh with an automatic station.

0:39:590:40:04

-Pupils at Ysgol Eglwyswrw school

-have been collecting data too.

0:40:050:40:09

-Who can tell me, how has the

-weather been in Eglwyswrw recently?

0:40:100:40:15

-It's been raining.

0:40:150:40:17

-It's been windy...

0:40:180:40:21

-..with a little sunshine

-mixed with rain.

0:40:210:40:26

-It's been soaking wet.

0:40:260:40:29

-It had been raining

-for such a long time...

0:40:290:40:34

-..Year 1 decided to measure

-and record the rainfall.

0:40:340:40:40

-Every morning at 9.30am...

0:40:400:40:43

-..the pupils wear their coats

-and wellingtons...

0:40:430:40:47

-..before heading outside to place

-the rain measuring device.

0:40:480:40:53

-In the afternoon at 3.00pm,

-we measure the rainfall.

0:40:530:40:59

-How much rain has fallen today,

-Megan?

0:40:590:41:03

-There's one millimetre.

0:41:030:41:05

-One millimetre of rain

-has fallen today.

0:41:050:41:09

-Elin, it's been raining for 84 days

-so do you like the rain?

0:41:090:41:14

-Yes, I like the rain

-because I can go outside to play.

0:41:140:41:18

-Do you like the rain?

0:41:190:41:21

-Yes,

-because I like to jump in puddles.

0:41:210:41:25

-It's been raining lots

-in Eglwyswrw...

0:41:250:41:28

-..and we've been on the television.

0:41:280:41:31

-What's been happening?

0:41:310:41:33

-Over the past few months, the air

-has been coming from south-west.

0:41:330:41:38

-The wind that blows

-from the south-west is warm air.

0:41:380:41:42

-Warm air holds more moisture.

0:41:420:41:44

-When the air hits Pembrokeshire,

-it rises, cools and evaporates...

0:41:440:41:49

-..which creates rainfall.

0:41:490:41:51

-We've seen a massive change

-in the weather.

0:41:510:41:54

-The rainfall hasn't increased

-in volume.

0:41:550:41:58

-We've had higher volumes than this

-during some winters.

0:41:580:42:02

-Day after day, it's been wet.

0:42:020:42:05

-This winter has proven...

0:42:050:42:08

-..that we must prepare

-for all weather conditions.

0:42:090:42:14

-It's been an unfortunate winter...

0:42:140:42:17

-..for our animals

-and especially sheep.

0:42:170:42:21

-Cows are normally kept indoors

-but sheep are out in every weather.

0:42:210:42:27

-During this period

-of changeable weather...

0:42:270:42:30

-..this record could return again

-to Eglwyswrw in the years to come.

0:42:300:42:35

-Thank you, Steff.

0:42:360:42:38

-We all hope that the dry

-weather will arrive soon.

0:42:380:42:41

-Next, we turn our

-attention to make-up.

0:42:420:42:46

-Miss Wales 2015, Emma Jenkins has

-the latest beauty tips for us.

0:42:460:42:52

-This is a concealer palette.

0:42:530:42:55

-This is essential for

-the no make-up, make-up look.

0:42:560:43:00

-The no make-up, make-up trend

-will take over in 2016.

0:43:000:43:03

-It isn't trendy to have

-a full face of make-up.

0:43:040:43:07

-The bare faced model look is trendy.

0:43:070:43:10

-I've demonstrated this look on Nia.

0:43:110:43:13

-A palette like this

-is going to be key.

0:43:130:43:17

-You can carry it around with you

-and touch it up throughout the day.

0:43:170:43:21

-It contains everything you need

-a powder and a cream blusher.

0:43:220:43:27

-Are you a fan of the no make-up,

-make-up look, Nia?

0:43:270:43:31

-Yes, I am a fan and

-it looks great on the skin.

0:43:310:43:36

-I'm used to wearing more make-up

-around the eye area...

0:43:360:43:40

-..but with time,

-I'll get used to it.

0:43:400:43:43

-Women tend to wear more make-up

-around the eyes...

0:43:430:43:47

-..but I've tried to cut back,

-because of this new trend.

0:43:470:43:51

-This means less work in the morning.

0:43:520:43:55

-That's what I said to Nia.

-It will take less time.

0:43:550:43:59

-Liquid lipsticks

-are also a new trend.

0:43:590:44:01

-The dawn of the liquid lipsticks

-will be in 2016.

0:44:020:44:05

-Anastasia Beverly Hills

-are an American brand...

0:44:050:44:08

-..with a fantastic collection.

0:44:090:44:11

-I've ordered them,

-but they still haven't arrived!

0:44:110:44:15

-Estee Lauder have released

-similar lip glosses.

0:44:160:44:19

-These are thick and

-smell like vanilla.

0:44:190:44:22

-I've put this nude colour on Nia...

0:44:220:44:25

-..which will add to the bare look.

0:44:250:44:29

-This look gives enough definition...

0:44:290:44:33

-..but also looks as

-if your wearing a bit of make-up.

0:44:330:44:37

-We've kept to the natural colours.

0:44:370:44:39

-We've used brown on the eyes

-and a small amount of mascara.

0:44:390:44:43

-I've used bronzer

-to shape the face.

0:44:440:44:46

-The important element

-is the natural tones.

0:44:460:44:49

-There's more colour pigment in these

-lip glosses than the regular ones.

0:44:500:44:54

-Years ago, we would think

-of a clear lip gloss...

0:44:550:44:59

-..but these are great and

-they have just enough colour.

0:44:590:45:03

-Next, we have mascara.

0:45:040:45:07

-This is the best mascara

-I've tried in years. I love it.

0:45:070:45:11

-I have a clip of when I applied this

-mascara earlier.

0:45:110:45:15

-You can see the difference

-as I applied it...

0:45:150:45:18

-..and how quick it was to create

-a long lash look.

0:45:190:45:22

-My eyelashes never usually

-look like this.

0:45:230:45:25

-I've text all of

-my friends about it.

0:45:260:45:28

-I'm not sure how many mascaras

-you have...

0:45:280:45:32

-..but we're always searching

-for 'The One'.

0:45:320:45:35

-I've wasted money on testing

-different mascaras.

0:45:360:45:40

-This is 24,

-which is slightly expensive.

0:45:400:45:43

-If you want to invest in something

-and you love mascara, this is it.

0:45:430:45:48

-Do you think its worth

-the money, Nia?

0:45:480:45:50

-Yes, it would be nice to wear

-on a night out.

0:45:510:45:54

-It does make a difference.

0:45:540:45:56

-Many women love mascara.

0:45:560:45:58

-If you want to invest in a mascara,

-this is the one for you.

0:45:580:46:02

-Next, we have the make-up

-setting spray by L'Oreal.

0:46:030:46:06

-I've only seen the expensive

-brands selling this product.

0:46:070:46:11

-I tried this over the weekend

-and it's a great price.

0:46:110:46:15

-My eyebrows stayed in place

-as did my eye make-up.

0:46:150:46:18

-You'll need to spray it

-across the face.

0:46:190:46:21

-I'll just demonstrate.

0:46:220:46:23

-You'll have a shock, but the

-product is nice and refreshing.

0:46:230:46:28

-This sets the make-up

-to last all day.

0:46:280:46:31

-I've heard some say that

-they use hairspray to do this.

0:46:310:46:35

-Hairspray isn't good for the skin

-and I wouldn't suggest doing it.

0:46:350:46:39

-But I've done it in the past.

0:46:400:46:40

-But I've done it in the past.

-

-This spray does work.

0:46:400:46:42

-If you apply make-up

-in the morning...

0:46:430:46:45

-..a spray of this

-will make it last all day.

0:46:450:46:48

-Maybe not all day,

-but it lasts longer.

0:46:490:46:51

-We've heard a lot about

-micellar waters that remove make-up.

0:46:520:46:56

-None of these products

-in the past have impressed me.

0:46:560:47:01

-I find many are quite dry.

0:47:010:47:03

-However, this product is lovely,

-it smells of cucumber...

0:47:030:47:07

-..and it add a touch of care to

-the face during the bad weather.

0:47:070:47:11

-Are you a fan of this new look, Nia?

0:47:120:47:13

-Are you a fan of this new look, Nia?

-

-Yes, I am.

0:47:130:47:14

-Will you try it at home?

0:47:150:47:16

-Will you try it at home?

-

-You have to say yes.

0:47:160:47:18

-Thank you, Emma and Nia.

0:47:180:47:21

-That's all we have time for today.

0:47:230:47:25

-Thank you for joining us.

0:47:250:47:27

-I've had a fantastic time.

0:47:270:47:29

-Alun returns next week

-at the same time.

0:47:290:47:32

-Until then,

-keep practicing your Welsh.

0:47:320:47:35

-It's important to give it a go

-and have plenty of fun.

0:47:350:47:39

-Enjoy the rest of your day.

0:47:400:47:42

-Good morning to you all.
