-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on the first weekend of February.

-Thanks to Rhodri Owen for keeping

-my seat warm last week...

-..whilst I was in London...

-..interviewing none other

-than Catherine Zeta-Jones!

-She is a lovely lady...

-..and closed the interview talking

-about Wales and speaking Welsh!

-Wales is always with me

-and in my heart.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much, Catherine.

-You can see the full interview

-on Clic or iPlayer.

-Let's get on with today's Bore Da.

-This is what you can enjoy

-between now and 11.30am.

-Daf Wyn celebrates

-Play Your Ukulele Day.

-Have you been watching the

-BBC1 series called War and Peace?

-We'll chat with Aneurin Barnard, a

-Welsh actor who stars in the series.

-There's also some ice hockey

-with the Cardiff Eagles.

-Sit back and enjoy the coming hour.

-We start by celebrating

-Play Your Ukulele Day.

-Daf Wyn went to meet the fans

-of this popular little instrument.

-During the past five years, the

-ukulele has experienced a revival...

-..with 250,000 being sold annually.

-The instrument appeals to all ages

-and musical abilities.

-It's no wonder that more people

-are giving the ukulele a go!

-We've sold over 1,000

-in the last six months.

-It's easier than a guitar

-which has more strings.

-There's four strings, you can learn

-it quickly and everyone likes it.

-I started playing the ukulele

-two years ago when I got a new job.

-An acoustic guitar was too big

-so I bought a ukulele.

-I went online to find some chords

-and it went from there.

-My wife wanted to learn

-to play the ukulele.

-We're learning to play the ukulele

-together using apps...

-..and videos on YouTube.

-I'm learning songs by Coldplay,

-Taylor Swift and modern pop.

-Menter Iaith Ceredigion or Cered

-use the ukulele in a unique way...

-..to teach Welsh to adults

-and children.

-The aim was to adopt

-an usual method...

-..of learning the language.

-We introduced this method to groups

-such as Twf, Mudiad Meithrin...

-..and other initiatives

-in the locality.

-It's been a success...

-..and everyone has enjoyed it

-from young children to the adults.

-We look upon it as something hip,

-contemporary and exciting.

-It also spreads the message

-about ukuleles.

-The message

-has spread to Caerphilly.

-Since September, Ysgol Gymraeg

-Y Castell has held a ukulele club.

-Not every child

-plays an instrument at school.

-Traditionally,

-they learn to play the recorder.

-I got a ukulele last year.

-It's easy and you can play a song

-within five minutes.

-A child can enjoy immediate success

-with an instrument.

-I like playing the ukulele

-because Dad and my brother play it.

-I like playing the ukulele

-for my mother and father.

-It's noisy at times

-but is charming too.

-I was inspired by hearing

-Mr Davies playing the ukulele.

-It's so easy to use.

-The school has put stickers

-on the arm for the various notes.

-Mr Davies tells us when to play

-the note by the blue sticker...

-..and the note for the red one.

-Mam likes me playing it.

-It's starting to be like a hobby

-and that's why I like the ukulele.

-You can take it

-anywhere in the world...

-..because it's such

-a light instrument.

-It would be great if the Urdd

-had a ukulele competition.

-At the moment,

-you can only compete in an ensemble.

-It would wonderful to have

-a specific competition for it.

-We could play pop music in Welsh.

-Children of all ages

-can enjoy this simple instrument.

-Daf Wyn is obviously a fan

-of the ukulele.

-Do you know what an emoji is?

-It's a symbol that can be sent

-via a text message...

-..to convey an emotion.

-It could be a sad or a happy face.

-Emojis also feature the flags

-of different countries.

-For the first time ever...

-..symbols linked with Wales could

-be added to the list of emojis.

-Before they can be launched,

-they need your help.

-Welsh emoji shows the love

-that the Welsh have towards Wales.

-Fanmoji saw the negative response...

-..when Apple failed to include

-a Welsh flag in their new emojis.

-Everyone decided it was a good idea

-to have specific Welsh emojis.

-The aim is to include everything

-in the keyboard...

-..from a pint to a rugby scarf

-and even Cardiff Castle.

-I was illustrating a book

-when Fanmoji saw my work.

-They asked me if I was happy

-to draw the Welshmojis.

-I thought it was a great idea...

-..as there's a gap in the market

-for Welsh apps.

-I hope people

-will like the emojis...

-..and appreciate my hard work.

-Fanmoji has already created

-95% of the emojis.

-We aim to run a poll...

-..so that everyone

-can cast a vote...

-..on the remaining 5%

-of the final cut.

-You'll be able to vote

-for famous Welsh faces...

-..famous places

-and things linked with Wales.

-Voting closes on 14 February.

-Two weeks later,

-we hope to launch Welshmoji.

-We hope people will use Welshmoji

-to celebrate their Welshness.

-Whilst browsing

-through Twitter recently...

-..I came across a brand-new account

-called Awr y Dysgwyr.

-The account

-aims to encourage Welsh learners...

-..to discuss everything in Welsh

-from 9.00pm and 10.00pm each Monday.

-Follow them on Twitter.

-You can discuss, share an opinion

-and hear about various events.

-It's very useful.

-It's time for a short break.

-In the next part of the programme...

-..we meet characters from

-the new series of Gwaith Cartref.

-Valentine's Day is on the horizon...

-..so we hear

-some of your stories of love.

-Rhodri Gomer plays ice hockey with

-one of the best teams in Britain.

-And we order a healthy takeaway.

-Yes, I did say a healthy takeaway!

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Are you following the latest series

-of Gwaith Cartref on S4C?

-It airs every Wednesday night

-straight after Pobol y Cwm.

-Similar to Y Gwyll / Hinterland...

-..you can use the Dal Ati app...

-..and any difficult vocabulary

-will appear on your phone.

-Last week, I met some of the

-main characters from the series...

-..and they loved the app.

-I'm the maths teacher in Gwaith

-Cartref who is a very nice man.

-He's very faithful and generous.

-You know I'd do anything to help.

-You know I'd do anything to help.

-

-Yes, I know.

-I play Dr Stephanie Murphy,

-the headmistress of the school.

-She's new to the school but trying

-to put her stamp on the place.

-I'm mopping up

-years of mismanagement.

-This app is a great tool

-for Welsh learners.

-My Welsh is far from perfect...

-..but it's important

-to speak the language...

-..with friends, family

-and anyone you can!

-It's a fantastic idea.

-My parents don't speak Welsh.

-I'll tell them to use it

-whilst watching the programme.

-Help each other.

-Everyone is a Welsh learner...

-..even those who have spoken

-the language since birth.

-The prob... the prob...

-The prob... the prob...

-

-Probability.

-My brother's American girlfriend

-uses the Dal Ati app...

-..to learn Welsh phrases.

-She now watches S4C without

-subtitles and even chats to Mam...

-..which is a challenge for her.

-It's proof that anyone

-can learn the language.

-It inspires me to better myself

-and I hope it helps others too.

-Make sure you download

-the Dal Ati app to your phone...

-..and Gwaith Cartref

-airs on Wednesday at 8.25pm.

-Valentine's Day is a week today.

-We're looking forward to that day...

-..by hearing some of the

-love stories of our viewers.

-I met Aled in a Carmarthen nightclub

-called the Waterside...

-..ten years ago.

-I don't know what it was about him.

-He's tall

-and played rugby at the time...

-..and I thought he was handsome.

-He charmed me on our first meeting

-and we haven't looked back.

-On the morning of my birthday,

-he brought me outside.

-He went down on one knee

-and proposed.

-He'd already prepared the champagne

-so he knew that I'd say "yes."

-I knew early on

-that Emily was the one for me.

-After about a year...

-..I decided to take the next step...

-..and asked her to marry me.

-I decided to put a plan in place.

-I took Emily to Cardiff

-to meet her friends...

-..whilst I went with my friends and

-family to dance in the city centre.

-I've never been so nervous

-since retiring from rugby.

-In the morning,

-I couldn't concentrate.

-When the dance ended,

-I popped the question...

-..but she didn't respond...

-..so I made the most of the silence

-and put the ring on her finger.

-We were in school together

-and that was 70 years ago.

-That's when I first saw her.

-We're going to be celebrating...

-..62 years of wedded bliss.

-We've got three children...

-..seven grandchildren...

-..and three great-grandchildren.

-We don't really share

-the same interests.

-I enjoy walking,

-but Marion is that fond of it.

-However, we both enjoy reading.

-Yes, we like reading

-and enjoy a meal out too.

-Yes, that's right.

-We met ten years ago

-when I was at university in Cardiff.

-At the time, Will had been posted

-to Cardiff with the navy.

-That's where we met.

-On Valentine's Day in 2014,

-Will flew to Afghanistan.

-He'd already bought a ring and given

-it to my best friend to keep safe.

-We spent five weeks in Australia

-over Christmas.

-There was a hamper,

-champagne, photographs of us...

-..and a big scroll

-asking me to marry him.

-He went down on one knee

-and asked me to marry him in Welsh.

-We met ten years ago on a night out.

-I was out with friends

-and so was Huw.

-I got home and told Mam that I'd

-found the man I wanted to be with.

-We got married five years ago.

-We don't have any children but

-have dogs and they've had puppies.

-We're like their parents!

-In the morning,

-I take the dogs out...

-..go home for a shower

-and get him out of bed.

-We come to work but when we're home,

-I do all the cooking.

-I do my best but it isn't my fault.

-I'd rather go out than eat his food

-because it makes me ill!

-This is our first St Dwynwen's Day

-as a married couple.

-It's a special day

-and I hope to get some flowers.

-I might cook Aled a steak

-but I'm not sure yet.

-I hope this is

-the first St Dwynwen's Day of many!

-After the engagement...

-..Emily and I decided to get married

-as soon as possible.

-We'll marry in May and I can't wait

-to spend our lives together.

-I believe the secret

-to a long and happy marriage...

-..is that we've learnt

-to live with one another...

-..and are best friends.

-I think that's very important.

-We can never go to bed

-on an argument.

-Someone has to give in!

-# And that's how

-the day comes to an end

-# And that's how

-the day comes to an end #

-We're already into February...

-..but have you kept your new year's

-resolution of eating healthily?

-If not, then our next item

-is sure to inspire you.

-In January, we focus on healthy

-living after the Christmas excesses.

-I'm in the Cardiff area

-to meet Elinor Snowsill...

-..to have tips on eating healthily.

-Onest Food

-was established a year ago...

-..after I noticed a gap

-in the market for healthy food.

-It can be very difficult as people

-don't have time to prepare meals...

-..for a healthy diet.

-Elinor started the business

-after giving advice to a friend.

-I devised an eating plan.

-She didn't have the time to prepare

-meals so I agreed to do it for her.

-It all started by delivering

-five meals a week to her...

-..and I now deliver

-about 40 meals per week.

-It's going to be a drop goal attempt

-from Snowsill and she sends it away.

-Elinor is an outside half

-for the Wales rugby team...

-..so knows exactly what to eat

-to perform well on the pitch.

-The superfood salad has quinoa,

-beetroot, mango and sugar snap peas.

-There's also hummus

-to add flavour and extra protein.

-It's served with some Welsh steak.

-The egg wrap is my speciality.

-It's full of protein...

-..and stuffed with caramelized

-onions, cheese, meat and vegetables.

-It doesn't contain carbs

-so it's very healthy.

-I've had a lot of orders for these

-and prepared an extra one for you.

-I've got my knife and fork

-at the ready so let's try some.

-Here we go.

-Mmm.

-Ten out of ten!

-The food is ready

-so the next step is to deliver it.

-Her customers include lecturers,

-doctors and teachers.

-At Ysgol Plasmawr school

-in Cardiff...

-..the hungry teachers are eagerly

-awaiting their gourmet meals.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-The food is fresh

-and gives me a lot of energy.

-I'll teach the pupils with

-a renewed energy this afternoon...

-..and have energy

-to play rugby tonight.

-Life can be hectic

-due to work and family commitments..

-..so this meals on wheels is great.

-The meals are both healthy

-and very tasty so you can't go wrong

-Elinor only uses

-the best ingredients.

-I've got halloumi and I've never

-had it before but it's delicious.

-I usually opt for chicken or gammon

-but this is lovely.

-After Elinor's food, I'm full of

-energy and ready for the day ahead.

-The customers are happy.

-The customers are happy.

-

-Yes, and they appreciate my food.

-I look forward

-to developing the business...

-..so I'd better make more food!

-Good luck to you.

-We've just heard that Elinor

-will prepare the meals...

-..for the boys under 20s rugby team

-in the Six Nations.

-A huge congratulations to her.

-What do you do

-at 11.00pm every Thursday?

-I suspect

-you'll be preparing for bed.

-It's the time when the

-Cardiff Eagles ice hockey team...

-..start their weekly

-training session.

-Yes, I did say 11.00pm!

-Last week, Rhodri Gomer stayed

-up late to take part in the session.

-Last year, we marked ten years

-of being the Cardiff Eagles.

-It started as a club

-that taught ice hockey...

-..by the former Cardiff Devil,

-Ed Patterson.

-It's gone from strength to strength.

-We're a recreational team

-with players of all abilities.

-Some played at a high level

-for the under 19s.

-Others either started later in life

-or are returning to it.

-We play in the

-Southern Conference league.

-It follows the M4 corridor

-from Cardiff to Milton Keynes.

-I've only been ice skating once

-before and I wasn't very good...

-..but first,

-I had to get into the kit.

-After 30 minutes

-of dressing in my safety gear...

-..I was ready to hit the rink

-- hopefully not literally!

-Some of you will remember the film,

-Bambi but this is the sequel.

-I'm Namby Pamby because

-I don't want to let go of the side!

-It's terrifying.

-It's very popular in Cardiff.

-The Cardiff Devils are doing well

-and play to sell-out crowds.

-We've got plenty of players

-with 30 on our books now.

-There's plenty of clubs in Cardiff

-and one is in the same league...

-..and there are other

-recreational clubs too.

-I'm growing in confidence on the ice

-and getting used to it...

-..but I've got to concentrate

-because it's far from easy.

-I won't be doing that.

-I'm getting more emails from people

-who are interested in the sport.

-It's partly to do with

-the success of the Devils...

-..and the opening of the new rink.

-It's thanks to the Cardiff Devils...

-..and their coverage in the press

-and online.

-That was my first goal

-in ice hockey.

-It wasn't the best.

-My second goal in ice hockey.

-A bit better!

-We've got a home game against

-Peterborough this weekend.

-It's at 8.30pm which is good

-as it isn't after a Devils match.

-Those interested should visit our

-website and contact me by email.

-We train every Thursday at 11.00pm.

-People think of ice hockey...

-..as being a fast and physical game

-that's full of skill.

-Whilst I'm on the ice,

-it's nothing of the sort.

-I'm ruining the game's image

-so I'd better go!

-Good luck to the Cardiff Eagles

-in the future.

-After the break...

-..we meet Aneurin Barnard who stars

-in the series, War and Peace.

-Heledd Gwyndaf looks forward

-to the 2017 Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Yvonne gets a warm welcome

-in Bargoed Rugby Club.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Have you been watching

-the BBC1 series, War and Peace?

-It's a popular series

-that attracts millions of viewers.

-Last week, Owain Gwynedd had

-the honour of meeting the lady...

-..who adapted the book

-into a famous television drama.

-He also chatted with Aneurin Barnard

-who stars in the series.

-Since my childhood, I've heard

-about the 1,300-page book.

-It's the intense and rich, War

-and Peace by Leo Tolstoy of Russia.

-The book isn't the easiest of reads.

-If you want to avoid reading it,

-but want to know what happens...

-..you can watch the series of War

-and Peace that's produced in Wales.

-You seem to have

-the gift of happiness.

-Don't we all have it?

-I was quite young

-when I first read the book.

-It was when the BBC series with

-Anthony Hopkins was aired in 1973.

-That puts me at about twelve!

-I think the book has a Russian soul.

-It's an epic, four-book novel

-that has been made into one.

-It's a lot of work to read the book

-but worth the effort.

-The famous and talented cast

-include Jim Broadbent, Brian Cox...

-..Gillian Anderson

-and the Welshman, Aneurin Barnard.

-It was massive!

-There's about 30 main actors...

-..and another 100

-with speaking roles...

-..without the crew and extras.

-There were drones, horses,

-carriages and costumes everywhere.

-I was privileged to work with them

-and especially Gillian Anderson.

-One minute, you're a young lad

-watching The X-Files...

-..and then you're in a ballroom

-with her in Lithuania!

-Go and beg elsewhere.

-People have told me

-that I suit period dramas.

-I don't know how I do that or what

-makes me suitable for period dramas.

-It just happens but I'd like

-to try something modern day now.

-When I read it, I was struck by

-how immediate and modern it felt.

-The characters

-came to life very vividly.

-It was a bit of a challenge.

-When we see episode six,

-we'll find that it's bulged a bit.

-We couldn't do it in six hours.

-The receptions,

-the dinners, the balls.

-You've been in action.

-Tell us all about it.

-It took over two years...

-..and over a year and half

-to develop the script.

-The preparation ahead of filming

-took months and months...

-..and filming took over five months.

-We started in Russia but shot

-most of it in Lithuania and Latvia.

-We returned to Russia in the summer

-to get the seasons in the series.

-Aneurin and I

-would speak to each other in Welsh.

-People didn't know what

-we were saying and it was surreal.

-The English lads said "I can't

-understand what he's saying!

-"Is him and Bethan

-saying anything about me?"

-But Bethan and I were talking about

-what we'd had for breakfast!

-It wasn't important

-and nothing to do with the drama.

-It was just,

-"coffee, two sugars and milk!"

-This sort of evening is a reminder

-of the incredible development...

-..of Welsh drama

-in the last ten years.

-We offer a great service in Wales...

-..but can promote creative

-Welsh talent across the world.

-BBC Wales doing a great Russian epic

-for the BBC.

-Why not?

-Everyone involved in the series...

-..either performers or

-those working behind the scenes...

-..wanted to do their best because

-the material was so important.

-The Urdd Eisteddfod

-is on the horizon.

-I'm sure many children in Wales...

-..are practicing their singing and

-reciting for the local Eisteddfods.

-But the people of Bridgend,

-Taf and Ely...

-..are already preparing

-for the 2017 Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Heledd Gwyndaf has the story.

-Hosting the Urdd Eisteddfod

-is no mean feat.

-It needs committees

-and fund-raisers.

-Today, schools

-from the 2017 Eisteddfod area...

-..of Bridgend, Taf and Ely

-are all hosting fund-raising events.

-We aim to raise awareness

-and money for the Eisteddfod...

-..by promoting the Urdd

-and being Welsh.

-The pupils have paid 1 each

-to wear red, white or green.

-Mr Urdd is travelling

-all over the county.

-The target in this area is 350,000

-which is a lot of money.

-Everyone has a target.

-Each school has a target

-depending on its number of pupils.

-As well as the county of Bridgend...

-..the Eisteddfod area also includes

-Taf and Ely with over 40 schools.

-I've competed in the Eisteddfod both

-individually and with the school.

-I recently performed in

-Les Miserables which was incredible.

-I've been to Glan-llyn, Llangrannog

-and visited a few Eisteddfods.

-I'm a member of Aelwyd Porthcawl...

-..and we compete

-in the Urdd Eisteddfod every year.

-I've been to the camp in Llangrannog

-and had lots of fun.

-We currently have over 600 pupils...

-..so aim to raise over 600...

-..which is one contribution

-for next year's Eisteddfod.

-Which school are we visiting next,

-Mr Urdd?

-It's Ysgol Tonyrefail school.

-What have you been doing

-at Ysgol Tonyrefail today?

-We dressed in red, white and green

-to raise money.

-Are you competing this year?

-Are you competing this year?

-

-Yes, I'll be singing.

-I'll enter

-the technical drawing competition.

-How much money have you raised?

-How much money have you raised?

-

-We've raised 200.

-How much is left?

-How much is left?

-

-We need 400 to reach our target.

-Is Year 6 at Ysgol Tonyrefail

-excited to welcome the Eisteddfod?

-Yes!

-Which school shall I go to next?

-Which school shall I go to next?

-

-Llwyncelyn!

-At Ysgol Llwyncelyn school...

-..I found a man who has competed

-in many Eisteddfods in the past.

-As a child, I was fortunate

-to compete at Urdd Eisteddfods...

-..in singing, dancing,

-reciting and acting.

-I went to Glan-llyn and Llangrannog.

-Children get to make new friends

-and socialize whilst speaking Welsh.

-Being a member of the Urdd

-is important.

-I can compete at the Eisteddfod

-and meet pupils from other schools.

-I don't speak enough Welsh at home.

-As a member of the Urdd, there's

-more opportunities to speak Welsh.

-We get to experience new things

-and have fun.

-It means Welsh is spoken

-outside school.

-It gives us more confidence to play

-football, rugby and go swimming.

-In this area,

-9% of the population speaks Welsh.

-Fund-raising is shared

-throughout the county.

-St Mary's and St Patrick's School in

-Maesteg is an English medium school.

-They've thrown themselves into it

-with activities all day.

-I visit this school to teach Welsh

-once a week.

-I also visit four other schools

-in the valley.

-I've seen that the standard of

-the Welsh language has improved...

-..due to the vision of head teachers

-in the valley's English schools...

-..to promote the Welsh language.

-The staff and children...

-..are also very enthusiastic

-about learning the Welsh language.

-I'm a member of the Welsh crew

-who meet during break and lunch.

-The crew helps pupils

-to speak and play in Welsh.

-Wales is a special country

-and I love learning Welsh.

-I went to Llangrannog.

-I went horse riding

-and walked to the beach.

-The school is competing

-at this year's Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Ioan Davies from Year 5

-will swim in Cardiff on Saturday.

-I've composed a song and here it is.

-# The Welsh, Welsh, Welsh crew

-# Hello everyone

-# How are you? How are you?

-# I'm very well, thanks #

-Before the Bridgend, Taf and Ely

-Urdd Eisteddfod...

-..good luck to everyone competing

-in the 2016 Flintshire Eisteddfod.

-Don't forget that

-it's the taking part that counts.

-From Maesteg, all we say is...

-From Maesteg, all we say is...

-

-Goodbye!

-S4C recently spent a week

-celebrating the Valleys.

-The week focused on

-the valleys of South Wales.

-Last week on Bore Da, we saw Yvonne

-at the Bargoed Rugby Club...

-..and she's back there this week

-enjoying herself!

-Welcome back to Bargoed Rugby Club.

-The welcome is very warm!

-I'm joined by Nia Vaughan.

-Good evening, Nia.

-Aidan's your son and he plays rugby

-but you've played the game too.

-Yes, but I only played

-in three matches.

-In my last game, I was only

-on the pitch for 40 minutes.

-We were losing badly.

-Unfortunately,

-we no longer have a team.

-You hope to get a team

-for next year.

-Yes, we hope so.

-The children's teams

-are doing exceptionally well.

-They are very strong.

-How many teams have you got?

-

-There's eleven.

-We have teams for the under 7s

-right up to the men's first team.

-Is the club important

-to the children?

-It's very important

-as the children admire the men.

-They worship the men and enjoy

-being mascots for important matches.

-They love spending time

-with the men.

-Do you enjoy playing rugby, Aidan?

-Good luck with the match

-over the weekend.

-The club is important

-to the children and the community.

-Unfortunately, the rugby club has

-been in mourning for some months...

-..following the deaths of three

-members in an accident in October...

-..but the club has pulled together.

-Dylan Yates was a close friend

-of the three who died.

-Joe Daniels, Rhys Jones and Ryan

-Gibbons were everyone's friends.

-Everyone liked them.

-The club decided

-to have some special wristbands...

-..to raise money

-for a special charity.

-The club has managed to raise

-a lot of money.

-You were very close to the lads.

-Yes, I was.

-It's alright because

-I know it's difficult, Dylan.

-Let's move on.

-Mike Thomas, you're a good friend

-of the boys' families.

-It's a devastating loss but the club

-has shown its unity, hasn't it?

-Most definitely.

-The way the club and local community

-have pulled together...

-..under devastating circumstances...

-..makes everyone proud

-to be from this community.

-They've just been wonderful

-and especially with the funerals.

-The friends set up a web page

-when it first happened.

-It was a Go Fund Me page.

-I think they saved about 23,000

-in about two weeks or less.

-That's amazing.

-It helped the families no end...

-..and gave everybody

-the go ahead to carry on.

-All that money is going towards

-the charity and the families...

-..but you had a special event

-last weekend which you took part in.

-Yes, we had

-a blindfold boxing contest.

-The idea

-came from Boxing Day of 2014.

-We had an event downstairs

-as we do on every Boxing Day.

-One of the boys

-who sadly lost his lives, Rhys...

-..who was affectionately

-known as Butters...

-..took part in the blindfold boxing

-with his friend, Christian Cuss.

-It was such a funny event

-and that's where the idea came from.

-It was really successful last week.

-We raised over 4,000 on the day...

-..and we also had an event for

-the South Africa and Wales game...

-..in which we raised 4,000.

-It goes to show the strength

-of this rugby club and community.

-Commiserations and sympathies

-with all of you and the families.

-There is strength in unity.

-In the final part

-of today's programme...

-..we learn more about

-the Food Hygiene Rating.

-Welcome back.

-In recent years...

-..Food Hygiene Ratings can be seen

-in every restaurant in Wales...

-..but do you know

-what the ratings mean?

-Last week, Sioned Fiddler

-from the Food Standards Agency...

-..visited Prynhawn Da

-to put us on the right track.

-You're currently running a campaign

-so tell us more about it.

-This coincides with Valentine's Day

-and St Dwynwen's Day.

-We're using

-these special occasions...

-..to raise awareness

-of the Food Hygiene Rating.

-At these times,

-people are more likely to eat out...

-..or order a takeaway...

-..as a means

-of celebrating these events.

-We want to remind people

-about the ratings.

-A lot of people go online

-to read reviews for restaurants...

-..but we also want people

-to check the Food Hygiene Rating.

-The rating is on a scale of 0 to 5.

-What do the ratings mean?

-A 0 means that urgent improvement

-is necessary.

-A 5 means that the food hygiene

-of your business is good.

-Any business can achieve

-and should aim to get a rating of 5.

-The business gets its rating from an

-inspection by the local authority.

-The food safety officer looks

-at the quality of the facilities...

-..the structure of your premises...

-..how hygienically

-the food is handled...

-..and the measures you take

-to ensure the food is safe.

-They consider all this

-and calculate your rating.

-The public can use the rating

-to influence any decisions.

-Does 5 mean the food is tasty?

-It isn't the quality of the food

-but only if it's safe to eat or not.

-You mentioned a 0 rating.

-If it has a 0 rating, it must

-be dirty so why is it still open?

-It's a good question.

-The food safety officer

-within the local authority...

-..works closely with the business.

-If the officer believes the business

-poses a risk to the public...

-..he or she will take rapid steps

-to overcome those issues.

-In some cases

-that you may have heard about...

-..the business will be closed.

-If you decide to dine out...

-..how do you go about discovering

-this important information?

-The ratings are uploaded onto the

-website - www.food.gov.uk/ratings

-Search the site

-for each establishment.

-The website has been adapted

-for mobile phones.

-It means you can find the ratings

-when you're out and about.

-In Wales, it's now compulsory...

-..for every business to exhibit

-the green and black sticker.

-They are bilingual in Wales.

-The stickers are on a window or door

-or you can ask a member of staff.

-What sort of guidance is offered

-to those with a lower rating?

-Is there any training provided?

-Yes, and the food safety officer

-works with an owner or manager...

-..to implement any steps that

-are needed to get a rating of 5.

-We must remember that the rating...

-..is not a reflection of the quality

-of food but the establishment.

-If you're organizing a meal out for

-Valentine's Day or Mother's Day...

-..you can read online reviews

-and check the Food Hygiene Rating.

-It means you have covered all bases.

-I'm happy but wasn't as happy to see

-a mouse in a Cardiff restaurant.

-I won't name and shame them!

-I won't name and shame them!

-

-No, don't do that.

-Thank you for joining us today.

-Next this morning,

-we enter the theatre world...

-..for the Wales Theatre Awards.

-Daf Wyn joined the happy winners.

-Welsh theatre had a great year

-in 2015 and for the fourth time...

-An evening like this

-brings together arts centres...

-..independent companies and small

-theatres such as The Other Room.

-choosing a new writer like myself.

-Luckily, the risk paid off.

-And the winner is Llyr Titus.

-is extremely important.

-It wasn't me and there's only two...

-

-Look again. It's there somewhere.

-We're delighted as Theatr Bara Caws

-is only small and has restrictions.

-We had many nominations in the same

-category but we could only win one!

-It's great that our hard work

-has been recognized.

-I don't text my colleagues.

-You don't know how to text.

-You don't know how to text.

-

-I know how to text.

-It's great to have this evening.

-It raises the profile of performers

-and theatre companies.

-The new Audience Award...

-..was won by The Torch

-Theatre Company for Grav...

-..the one-man show about the man

-from Mynyddygarreg, Ray Gravell.

-I turned.

-And caught a glimpse

-of the best centre in Wales.

-Standing tall in the mirror.

-The Welsh loved it

-because he was a legend in Wales.

-They loved it in Scotland and we'll

-take it to England and Ireland.

-They loved Ray in Ireland.

-We might take it further afield.

-We're really blown away

-by the audience really enjoying it.

-What do you think of the slate

-and the extra gift?

-It's a great filler for my cowshed!

-No, it's very beautiful...

-..and the coins are a wonderful part

-of the award too.

-The Welsh often get bad press.

-This event reinforces our worth

-and what we can do for our country.

-Congratulations to everyone.

-That's all for this morning but

-I'll be back at 10.30am next week.

-Dal Ati continues after the break.

-Don't forget to download the Dal Ati

-app to enjoy Gwaith Cartref too.

-It's important to try

-but have a lot of fun too!

-Good morning to you.
