-Hello and welcome to Bore Da...

-..on Sunday 22 January.

-I hope you're all enjoying

-your weekend...

-..and are ready to sit back and

-relax with us for the coming hour.

-On this morning's programme,

-we'll visit Wrexham.

-A pop-up shop has reached the town

-and its products are worth a look.

-There's an exclusive look

-at Elfyn Evans' new rally car.

-Lisa Fearn has some recipes

-for your slow cooker.

-Yvonne also celebrates the

-Old New Year in the Gwaun Valley.

-We've got all this and more.

-Welcome, once again, to Bore Da.

-We start this morning

-in the town of Wrexham.

-News recently broke...

-..that its Welsh shop, Y Siswrn, was

-closing after 30 years of service.

-In order to meet the demand

-for a Welsh shop...

-..the locals invited a pop-up shop

-to the town.

-Elin Fflur has the story.

-Once a month

-for the coming three months...

-..Wrexham's Saith Seren

-will welcome a pop-up shop.

-It's their first day and they are

-hoping for a lot of customers!

-Following the news that Wrexham's

-Siop y Siswrn was closing...

-..our shop, Cwlwm at Oswestry

-has a lot of customers in Wrexham...

-..so Chris from Saith Seren

-approached us...

-..to see what Cwlwm

-and Saith Seren could offer.

-Today, we have

-our first pop-up shop.

-The town needs somewhere

-that sells Welsh merchandise.

-Welsh language education

-has thrived in recent years...

-..so children need Welsh books

-and people need birthday cards.

-We were saddened to hear

-of the closure of Siop y Siswrn...

-..because I often bought

-my cards there.

-Today, I'm buying sympathy,

-birthday and thank you cards.

-I'm stocking up

-before they come back next month.

-I feel the same as Rhian and

-was sad to hear about Siop y Siswrn.

-It was here for years but I'm glad

-something has come in its place.

-I live in Wrexham...

-..and am glad that Cwlwm is coming

-to Saith Seren once a month.

-Wrexham needs to have somewhere

-to buy Welsh cards and books.

-Our next pop-up shops

-are on 13 February and 13 March.

-If there's more of a demand

-then we'll come back more often.

-We've had a busy morning and Lowri

-has sold out of some of her cards.

-It's great to have

-this local support.

-The locals are happy

-that Lowri has come here...

-..so that they have somewhere

-in the town to buy these items.

-Good luck to the new venture.

-Our next stop is Birmingham...

-..for an exclusive look

-at Elfyn Evans' new rally car.

-Last week,

-we heard the wonderful news...

-..that Elfyn

-has a seat for a full season...

-..of the World Rally Championship.

-Let's hope the new car takes him

-all the way to the podium.

-This son of a rally champion

-was destined to follow his father...

-..and compete on the national stage.

-In 2010, he won the British Junior

-Rally and the WRC Academy in 2012...

-..before moving to a higher level

-in 2014 and 2015.

-But in 2016,

-he stepped back to the WRC2...

-..yet scooped the

-British Rally Championship crown...

-..20 years after his father,

-Gwyndaf won the same title.

-But in 2017, he's got

-some exciting news to share.

-Today, he's at the Autosport Show

-to reveal all.

-It's the start of a new year and

-I'm sure it'll be an incredible one.

-M-Sport and DMACK

-have given me a seat...

-..in the World Rally Championships

-with a brand-new car.

-It's modelled on the Ford Fiesta...

-..but is unlike anything

-you'd buy in a showroom!

-You'll do the full season

-and get to travel the world...

-..and start in Monte Carlo.

-How do you feel

-about the new season?

-I'm incredibly excited about it.

-I did it for two years in the past

-and it's great to do it again.

-I've worked hard

-for the last twelve months...

-..and having this opportunity

-makes me very happy.

-How does your father feel about it?

-He's obviously delighted...

-..and is coming to Monte Carlo

-as part of the gravel note crew.

-He'll do a pre-event recce

-two hours before our run...

-..to adjust our pacenotes

-to include any snow or icy patches.

-He's enjoyed success in the past.

-It's great for me

-to draw on the experience...

-..of someone from my inner circle.

-How do you feel

-ahead of Monte Carlo next weekend?

-I'm obviously excited.

-I'm glad to be back

-and can't wait to drive the new car.

-What does this news mean for Elfyn?

-It's great and

-a late Christmas present for him.

-He's back at the top for a full

-season and starts in Monte Carlo.

-He'll go all over the world to

-Mexico, Sweden, Wales and Australia.

-There's 13 rallies and

-he'll do them in this brand-new car.

-The rules have changed so the car is

-more powerful, is wider and longer.

-It's more aerodynamic

-with the back fin.

-He's also running

-on new DMACK tyres.

-I think this is Elfyn's year when

-he launches his career properly.

-He's proved that he's fast.

-He's won the JWRC and is

-the current champion of the BRC...

-..but he's now competing

-in the highest level in the world...

-..and hopefully, we'll see him

-compete for this year's title.

-What did you see in Elfyn

-all those years ago?

-The first thing that you see

-is obviously the speed.

-He didn't have the car last year

-but proved his real metal...

-..and did some outstanding

-performances in the R5 car.

-It was a chance to give him another

-opportunity at the highest level.

-What are your hopes?

-I'm a competitive person

-so I obviously want to win...

-..but the level of competition

-is high.

-Everyone has new cars, so we'll

-have to size up our opponents...

-..and I hope we'll be at the front.

-Wow, that car looked amazing.

-Good luck to Elfyn

-in the championship.

-A brand-new brewery

-has opened in Tenby.

-It's a stone's throw

-from the famous North Beach.

-Rhodri Davies

-went to sample their produce.

-In the past, if you enjoyed a pint,

-then life was relatively simple.

-Those in Cardiff

-would drink HB or Brains.

-Llanelli's residents

-drank Felinfoel or Buckley's.

-In Wrexham, they drank Wrexham!

-This has changed over the decades.

-Some of the larger breweries

-have closed...

-..others have arrived

-and some are back!

-These days,

-small, independent breweries...

-..get the attention

-and are more likely to thrive...

-..just like

-the Tenby Harbour Brewery.

-We started the brewery

-for two reasons.

-People want local produce

-and want to know its origin.

-We also want to celebrate

-the love and nostalgia for Tenby.

-We brew three times a week...

-..and are the first commercial

-brewery in this iconic harbour.

-It's ironic that there's a monastery

-on Caldey Island.

-Monks were amongst the first

-to start the tradition...

-..of brewing and selling beer

-in Europe over 1,000 years ago.

-This tradition

-doesn't exist over there.

-Caldey Island is dry.

-This is good news

-for the Tenby Harbour Brewery.

-Fortunately, Caldey is famous

-for its chocolate and perfume...

-..so there's a niche for us.

-There are five beers of all flavours

-so there's something for everyone.

-There's a pale ale, red ale...

-..stout, IPA and an amber ale.

-Every ale has its own

-unique and special flavour...

-..and each ale has its own unique

-and special story.

-Every ale is named after a boat

-or a ship.

-The Sir Galahad

-is named after our lifeboat.

-There's the M V Enterprise that

-carries tourists, the North Star...

-..and an IPA

-called the Caldey Lollipop.

-The La Nossa Signora

-is a firm favourite.

-It's the name of a boat

-from Portugal...

-..that brought the first oranges

-to Wales about 450 years ago.

-Since the renovation of the building

-two years ago...

-..the brewery has become

-popular with visitors...

-..and is a regular haunt

-for the locals too.

-It's wonderful for my father and I

-to drink beer that's made in Tenby.

-We can enjoy it on the site

-near the harbour.

-Do you have a favourite?

-Yes, it's the La Nossa Signora

-which is a stout.

-It's a very fine drink.

-The word that springs to mind

-is delish!

-Do you agree, Father?

-I've lived in the area for 50 years.

-It's wonderful

-to have our first local ale.

-This is the North Star.

-It's lovely, clear and doesn't give

-you a headache the morning after!

-There's educational tours

-for visitors...

-..that explains the process

-of brewing...

-..as well as giving a history of

-the town and its famous residents...

-..but it's the flavour that keeps

-the fans of the ale happy!

-All are welcome on our tours and

-you can also relax in the tap room.

-Those visiting Tenby for the day

-or a summer holiday...

-..should come and see us

-as our doors are always open.

-I'll certainly be calling there

-for a pint.

-In the second part

-of the programme...

-..we celebrate the Old New Year

-in the Gwaun Valley.

-Lisa Fearn has recipes

-for the slow cooker.

-We also hear how a community plans

-to keep its village shop open.

-Don't you move a muscle!

-.

-Welcome back.

-Many communities in Wales

-still celebrate the Old New Year.

-The Old New Year is the start of

-the new year in the Julian Calendar.

-One community that celebrates

-the Old New Year every year...

-..is the Gwaun Valley

-in Pembrokeshire.

-Yvonne joined the celebrations

-and sang for a New Year's gift.

-# Happy New Year to you

-# And everyone in the house

-# This is our wish

-# At the start of this year #

-Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year!

-

-Happy New Year!

-It's important to celebrate

-the tradition of the Old New Year.

-I've been celebrating it

-for many years.

-We've been to a lot of farms

-and had some money and sweets.

-We started at 9.00am.

-It's been a cold day

-but we warmed up in the homes.

-Happy New Year!

-What's the name of this farm?

-What's the name of this farm?

-

-Ty Mawr Farm.

-You know this farm very well.

-Who lives here?

-Who lives here?

-

-Mam-gu Ty Mawr.

-Mam-gu gives you a warm welcome.

-This is what we do

-in the Gwaun Valley.

-The children come from school

-and it's a day for us all to enjoy.

-# Don't send the dog

-to run after us #

-We had a lot of sweets and one

-person in our group was sugar hyper!

-I meet people

-I haven't seen all year.

-Happy New Year

-and it's lovely to see you.

-This is a close-knit

-and supportive community.

-It's important to keep the tradition

-so that it doesn't die out.

-I've had a lot of money today.

-# New Year's Day has dawned

-# And it's day to remember

-# A day to give and receive

-# Is the thirteenth day

-of the year #

-I'm celebrating the Old New Year

-in the Gwaun Valley...

-..and I had to wish Bessie

-a Happy New Year!

-And the same to you.

-How many children have you seen

-today for the Old New Year?

-I've seen 22 children

-and given them all money.

-Will you see more during the day?

-There'll be about 40.

-What are your childhood memories

-of the Old New Year?

-We did more travelling

-from one house to the next.

-Every part of the area

-would celebrate.

-You had some food, cake and money

-at every home.

-Long live this tradition

-and thank you for the tip top beer!

-Happy New Year!

-# Come all the family to us

-and give us a penny #

-Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year to you all.

-Do you use a slow cooker?

-Slow cookers became popular

-in the 1970s...

-..and are fashionable once again!

-My mother gave me a slow cooker when

-I bought my first home in the 1990s.

-I use it a lot.

-My new one cooks quicker

-so I'm experimenting with that.

-I love my slow cooker and

-it's better than anything else.

-Microwave food is often tasteless.

-The best thing is that I don't have

-to do anything with it.

-We make a chilli on a Sunday morning

-and it's ready when we get home.

-It's convenient and the rest of

-the day is free to do as you please.

-Pulled pork is one of my favourite

-recipes for the slow cooker.

-The meat gets to absorb

-all the flavours.

-The meat is also very tender

-after eight hours.

-I make Spanish stews

-and bake ham or a whole chicken.

-My top tip is not to fear it

-but to use it for everything.

-Take advantage of the fact that

-you don't need precise ingredients.

-Slow cookers allow you to relax

-and forget about cookery times.

-I'd tell people

-to enjoy the versatility of it.

-People eat when they want

-and the food is warm.

-I don't care if

-it's a 1970s throwback or not.

-I'll be wanting

-an avocado bathroom suite next!

-Nici Beech called it

-a "crochan trydan."

-She had a very posh one!

-Yes, it was bigger...

-..and as opposed

-to having a simple knob...

-..she had a timer on hers.

-She could program it

-to come on at midday...

-..so it doesn't have to be on

-for the eight hours.

-I've got a lot to discuss.

-There isn't a lot of cooking

-as it's been done already in this.

-I've got a curry in here.

-Can you smell the curry?

-I've used chicken but you can use

-any cheap cut of meat.

-It's in there for a long time...

-..so it becomes tender

-and absorbs all the lovely flavours.

-Does some meat

-work better than others?

-No, but I'd use chicken legs

-instead of the breast...

-..because the breasts will dry out

-in the cooking time.

-Do you need to cook anything first?

-Cooking things beforehand

-intensifies the flavours.

-Onions are a perfect example and

-have a specific flavour when fried.

-Raw onions do have flavour

-but it isn't as intense.

-I struggle with potatoes.

-If I add raw potatoes, I don't

-feel that they cook properly.

-They cook very slowly.

-You can taste the curry

-in a moment.

-Next, I've got some stuffed peppers.

-The filling is a combination

-of rice, beans and celery.

-You can use

-whatever you've got in the fridge.

-Simply remove the top and stuff it.

-Was the rice pre-cooked?

-Was the rice pre-cooked?

-

-Yes, that's right.

-You can make the filling and keep it

-in the fridge until you need it.

-Ideally, place them in something

-to keep them upright...

-..or another idea is to bake them

-in a muffin tray.

-It's an easy recipe...

-..that takes 90 minutes

-to two hours in the slow cooker.

-Next, I've got some puddings.

-I never thought you could use it

-to make a pudding.

-Cream the butter and sugar...

-..and add the eggs, flour,

-cocoa and a touch of chocolate.

-Pour the mixture

-into a well-greased dariole.

-These steam like a proper pudding

-in about two hours.

-I bet a bread and butter pudding

-would be lovely too.

-Yes, just think outside the box.

-You can do the same thing

-with apples.

-Place them in a tin

-to keep them upright.

-This is where you consider

-the size of your slow cooker.

-Buy a large one

-so that these tins can fit inside.

-Let me take the lid of this one

-but watch out for the steam.

-I've got bread

-as the slow cooker helps it to rise.

-This is a multipurpose cooker.

-It can do a lot of things

-such as frying.

-Place this tray on top so that

-you can smoke or steam your food.

-This will cook the bread

-all the way through.

-It doesn't give the best crust but

-is still a good way to bake bread.

-Where can you get recipes

-for the slow cooker?

-There are plenty of books to be had.

-Buy one that is specifically

-for a slow cooker...

-..as it gives the measurements

-for 1.5 litre or 3.5 litre cookers.

-You can also look at

-different websites...

-..but talk to people

-and share your recipes.

-What's your top tip

-for using this cooker?

-It's best to practice and experiment

-to make full use of it.

-Nothing beats that smell

-when you get home from work.

-I love mine and

-will try to make a pudding in it!

-I've got a slow cooker at home

-and it's a very useful appliance.

-These days, it's all too common...

-..to hear of the closure of small,

-village shops in Wales.

-This was set to happen in the

-village of Cynwyd near Corwen...

-..but the community has united

-in order to save the local shop.

-How are you, Cathy?

-The shop and Post Office behind me

-is on the market.

-Sadly, it's been on sale

-for a number of years.

-The present owners

-have decided to leave...

-..and that will be within two years.

-The village got together as we

-didn't want to lose this resource.

-We've decided to find a way

-to buy the building...

-..and run the business

-as a community initiative.

-We formed Siop Ni Cynwyd

-at the end of last year...

-..and we're in the process

-of seeking funds and support.

-It's early days

-as we've just formed our committee.

-We're starting to hold monthly

-bingo nights...

-..and there'll be more committees.

-But more importantly...

-..it's set to be quite

-a social time for us.

-I like Siop Cynwyd

-as it sells lots of sweets...

-..and it sells pop.

-I come to Siop Cynwyd

-to buy chocolate...

-..chat to my friend

-and get into trouble!

-They feel like family.

-I speak to them every day and

-buy something and it makes me happy.

-If I'm feeling down after school...

-..I come to the shop, speak to them

-and I feel better and happy.

-I've been back and forth here

-since 1940.

-The shop looked very different

-in those days...

-..and we don't want to lose it.

-The pub across the road

-has closed...

-..and the pub nearby

-isn't always open.

-It would be a shame

-to lose the shop too.

-This would spell the end

-of the village.

-I would feel very sad

-if Siop Cynwyd was to close.

-The elderly people in the village...

-..would have to spend money on a bus

-to Corwen for their shopping.

-Cynwyd will be boring

-without a shop.

-Good luck to them!

-It's time for another short break...

-..but join us in a few minutes

-when we hear from Jyoti Upadhyay.

-Jyoti was born in Wales

-but currently resides in Nepal.

-Daf Wyn checks to see how many

-people still use a pen and paper.

-See you back here in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The next interview

-is incredibly interesting.

-It's the story of Jyoti Upadhyay...

-..a Welsh lady

-who currently lives in Nepal.

-You're originally from Aberystwyth

-but tell us more about yourself.

-I was born in Neath.

-Mam and Dad were both doctors

-and worked across South Wales.

-We moved to Aberystwyth

-when I was two years old.

-I went to a primary school

-in Aberystwyth...

-..and was educated up to A level

-in Aberystwyth...

-..before going to college in London.

-Your parents are from Nepal

-so the country called you back.

-Yes, definitely.

-We often spent our summer holidays

-in either Nepal or India...

-..as I have family in both places.

-We'd either go there

-every year or every other year.

-You made the massive decision

-to move there.

-Yes, and I didn't really

-think about it at the time.

-I didn't expect to be there

-for seven or eight years...

-..but it's flown!

-You have a lot of family there.

-You have a lot of family there.

-

-Yes, I do.

-How does it compare with

-living in Neath and Aberystwyth?

-Nepal is extremely beautiful.

-Two members of your team

-visited Nepal recently.

-They saw some of the best parts

-and it's very beautiful.

-It's also difficult as it's one of

-the poorest countries in the world.

-Having said that,

-I still think it's beautiful.

-It's steeped in history

-and full of art.

-Those things attracted me there.

-You've worked

-in a lot of different jobs.

-Tell us the interesting story about

-when you worked with some celebs.

-When I first moved to Nepal,

-I worked with NGO.

-After about a year...

-..I changed jobs and

-started working at a large hotel...

-..in sustainable luxury tourism.

-It was very fancy and that's where

-the celebrities and royalty stayed.

-Who stayed there?

-The guests included people

-such as Demi Moore.

-What was she like?

-What was she like?

-

-She was lovely.

-She could be difficult at times.

-She could be difficult at times.

-

-She sounds like Llinos!

-Thanks for that.

-You've changed direction in your

-career and now make jewellery...

-..and we've got examples

-of your work here.

-It's incredibly detailed.

-I've brought a small selection

-for you to see today.

-I started the company

-called Kaligarh three years ago.

-Kaligarh means artisan in Nepali.

-The fairtrade ethos

-is very important in our work.

-What's your role

-in the whole company?

-I'm the founder but also deal

-with the various products.

-And you get to travel the world.

-And you get to travel the world.

-

-Yes, I getting there slowly.

-As I've mentioned, I started

-the company about three years ago.

-I'd been building up to

-its formation for about 18 months.

-After the earthquake in Nepal...

-..I felt that I had a responsibility

-and an opportunity...

-..to create a company that

-helped the country's artisans...

-..to earn a wage

-and move on from the disaster.

-We sell a lot of the jewellery

-in America and Germany.

-Is there anywhere in Wales

-that sells the jewellery?

-No, not yet.

-Not yet.

-If anyone watching has a shop...

-Yes, it would be lovely

-to come back to Wales.

-When are you going back?

-I'm here for a fortnight...

-..and then I'm in America

-for a trade fair...

-..before returning to Nepal

-in mid February.

-We saw you with Daf and Steff but

-it's great to meet you in person.

-Thank you for having me.

-Thank you for having me.

-

-Thank you.

-Good luck to Jyoti.

-How many of you still use

-a pen and paper every day?

-That was the question

-on Daf Wyn's lips last week.

-Let's hear the answer.

-We live in a digital era.

-This device

-has taken over our lives.

-For some, it's a daily planner

-equipped with a diary and notebook.

-But what's wrong with

-an old fashioned pen and paper?

-In the last five years,

-stationary sales have stabilized.

-There's less spending money

-on goods like pens and paper...

-..but people have fallen in love

-with artistic items...

-..that you can keep and treasure.

-Specialist shops have seen a 20%

-rise in sales of office supplies...

-..like this shop in Llandysul.

-Styles have changed

-and young people want funky things.

-Last year, I ordered in a batch

-of new notepads.

-They have covers made from wool...

-..or have a shiny paper cover

-or a print featuring animals.

-They're a sell-out.

-A little notebook

-is more personal...

-..than a standard A4 binder.

-We stock an array of Biros and pens.

-People prefer to use

-a sophisticated pen...

-..as opposed to a cheap one.

-A pen and paper is also useful

-when you're baking bread.

-Hello, Crwst?

-I run a micro bakery

-and a pen and paper is essential.

-I take orders over the phone

-or from visitors...

-..by using a pen and paper.

-One bloomer and two sourdough.

-I'll jot it down

-and I'll see you then.

-Ta-ra!

-I like to have notepads that are

-colourful or have a floral pattern.

-I also like to keep a journal.

-These are my diaries.

-I've also got practical notepads

-for my orders or business ideas.

-The jotter-box is great

-and has individual notelets.

-This is my first port of call when

-taking an order over the phone...

-..before transferring it to a diary.

-And speaking of diaries...

-..the singer, Heather Jones has kept

-a record of her life for decades!

-I started writing a diary in 1958

-or thereabouts...

-..but the only one I've salvaged

-from my childhood is from 1966.

-I was 16 years old

-and you can see that I wrote a lot.

-I mention the girls from my school

-and the lads I dated.

-Geraint Jarman!

-Yes, the diary

-acts as a great reminder...

-..but this one has seen better days!

-This diary is in a sorry state

-and I've lost its cover.

-But I started buying

-Forever Friends diaries...

-..and I've got a lot of them

-but they stopped selling them...

-..so I opted for Winnie the Pooh.

-I don't like Winnie the Pooh!

-In the digital era, there's always

-room for a good old pen and paper.

-I like to make quick notes.

-I'd get flustered

-if I had to do it on a computer.

-I still write shopping lists.

-More companies are stocking these

-items and more people buy them.

-Long live the pen and paper!

-Hear, hear!

-In the final part

-Welcome back.

-It's great to hear about the opening

-rather than the closure of shops.

-Llyfrau'r Enfys is a new Welsh shop

-that has opened in Caerphilly.

-I went there

-and got a very warm welcome.

-Llyfrau'r Enfys is your shop

-and it was your dream.

-Tell us more about yourself.

-I was born in Caerphilly...

-..and went to the Tonyfelin nursery.

-That was a long time ago!

-I went to school

-at Ysgol Gymraeg Caerffili...

-..before going to Ysgol Cwm Rhymni.

-I didn't speak a lot of Welsh

-after I left school...

-..but when Samuel was born...

-..I knew that I wanted to go down

-the route of a Welsh education.

-He started at Tonyfelin nursery

-and I ran the Ti a Fi toddler group.

-I love books

-so it was perfect for me.

-I got to work with children

-and had fun telling the stories.

-I saw this place

-and it came along at the right time.

-I've spent years of dreaming

-and learning...

-..and I'm proud

-to have got here now.

-How important is it

-to have a Welsh shop in Caerphilly?

-Caerphilly is prominent in the

-schools but there was nothing here.

-If it wasn't for the Eisteddfod

-or the Ffiliffest...

-..then you couldn't buy

-Welsh books or merchandise...

-..so I had to do something about it.

-I did this for me...

-..and I get Welsh learners

-and adults and it's been fantastic.

-It really is.

-There's an array of things

-in the shop.

-What are your best-sellers?

-Welsh speakers buy the novels but

-people always want children's books.

-I order books and it's like

-Christmas when they are delivered!

-I get so excited.

-I also try to sell

-locally-produced items...

-..such as pieces made from driftwood

-by a local lady.

-There's a mixture of Welsh items

-and it's lovely!

-I'm sure you'll make this a success,

-Vikki...

-..because you're so passionate

-about it all.

-Good luck and thank you.

-Good luck and thank you.

-

-Thank you for coming.

-Thanks to Vikki

-for the warm welcome.

-People associate schools

-with indoor classrooms.

-A group called Wild Elements

-has been formed...

-..to educate children about nature

-in a fun and muddy way!

-Everyone is having fun in

-this scheme called Wild Elements...

-..and the children are getting

-experiences in the bucket load.

-Yes, and we want to get more

-children outdoors and into nature...

-..to have an array of experiences.

-They can climb trees, search

-for caterpillars in the forest...

-..and cook on the open fire.

-Being outside

-heightens their senses.

-They feel the leaves beneath

-their feet and play in the mud.

-What is your story

-with this forest school?

-I'm originally from Swansea.

-At that time, I used to go...

-..to the Nature Kindergarten

-in Swansea before moving here.

-After moving to North Wales, I've

-started a Nature Kindergarten here.

-The children and parents

-also cook...

-..but I doubt anyone would eat

-anything from your Mud Kitchen!

-Nora loves it.

-Yes, and she gets to come outside

-to the fresh air for two hours.

-It's great because she can

-make a mess with the mud.

-This isn't Nora's first visit.

-This isn't Nora's first visit.

-

-No, we came last term.

-Is that nice?

-This is our second term

-and it's great.

-You both enjoy it.

-Yes, it's lovely

-to spend time together...

-..away from the television

-and in this environment.

-Well done!

-It's almost time for you and Archie

-to go home, Selina.

-I suspect you've both had fun.

-Yes, we've had a lot of fun.

-He loves making a mess in the mud.

-What about the other parents

-and children?

-What will you remember about today?

-It's great to put on the wellies

-and get outdoors for a change.

-The children love it but the parents

-are having a great time too.

-Yes, everyone benefits from it.

-People don't realize that this helps

-the adults to relax.

-A bit of mud

-also helps the immune system.

-There's many things you can get in

-the same place at the same time...

-..without having to work

-too hard for it.

-Our aim at Wild Elements

-is to get more children outdoors...

-..to enjoy nature and learn about it

-in an informal environment.

-It's hoped that they will protect

-the Welsh wildlife in the future.

-That's a fantastic idea.

-It's time to enter

-the fashion world...

-..so let's have some advice from our

-resident fashion expert, Huw Fash.

-The military look is very strong

-in this outfit.

-This is from Debenhams.

-Debenhams is clever because

-they use world-famous designers...

-..to design their collections.

-The Welshman, Julien Macdonald

-designed this coat that's 160...

-..and you feel the reason for that

-price as soon as you pick it up.

-There's a weight

-and a quality to the fabric.

-It's a very detailed

-double-breasted coat...

-..with large buttons,

-a velvet cuff and some braiding.

-It's got a bit of everything.

-I showed this coat in navy

-and in a jacket form on Heno...

-..but the Prynhawn Da viewers

-can see it as a coat.

-Does it come in other colours?

-Does it come in other colours?

-

-No, just black.

-It's great because you can buy

-a lot of bottle green garments now.

-Bottle green is a difficult colour

-when teaming it with autumn shades.

-It sounds like it should be

-an easy colour to match...

-..with the tweed and brown hues.

-When it has a strong blue pigment,

-it's best to team it with black.

-We've also got

-three-quarter-length trousers.

-We can see her tights

-which is very fashionable!

-It's got to be fashionable...

-..because you'll struggle to

-find boots that aren't on the sale!

-This moves us through the season

-despite the forecast for snow...

-..but the shops want you

-to buy the new collections.

-Many viewers will remember these

-from the 1980s...

-..and we called them Granny Shoes

-in those days!

-They must be Great-Granny Shoes now!

-They must be Great-Granny Shoes now!

-

-Yes, Yvonne.

-It's a simple outfit

-that's suitable for all ages.

-You can buy these garments

-in size 20 and bigger.

-Thank you, Christine.

-Tanya's outfit

-is incredibly practical.

-There's a lot of cocoon coats

-on the high street.

-These are meant to be big

-and loose fitting which is great.

-Don't make the mistake

-of buying this in a smaller size.

-If you're a size 14...

-..buy the size 14!

-This hasn't been designed

-for a person who is a size 14...

-..to wear this in a size 12!

-It's a specific look

-so opt for your typical size.

-Does it keep you warm?

-Does it keep you warm?

-

-Yes, this fabric keeps you warm.

-Tanya can open the coat

-to reveal the lovely tunic.

-Don't worry about the tunic

-being longer than the coat.

-It's teamed with coloured jeans.

-I want to point out the shoes.

-These shoes had a name

-that cannot be repeated on camera!

-I'll just tell you

-that these have a crepe sole.

-These echo the fashion of the Mods.

-It was odd to see these in Llanelli.

-I read an article

-in the Llanelli Star last week...

-..about a society that has reunited

-the original Mods of Llanelli.

-They are much older but bring their

-scooters to Llanelli once a month...

-..and these shoes

-are back in the shops!

-Margaret is our final model.

-I decided to keep everything

-very simple with Margaret...

-..but have got one of those

-floral bomber jackets.

-Over the summer, we saw these in

-TopShop, New Look and River Island.

-They had busy patterns.

-I suspect the shops that cater

-for an older clientele...

-..realized that their customers

-were wearing them...

-..so did something tasteful that

-will take you through to spring.

-You can wear it with a pink dress

-or blue garments.

-The trousers are tailored with

-slits at the bottom for the boots.

-I'm delighted that Monsoon

-is still selling boots.

-You can buy some boots

-for the coming months...

-..that can be stored

-and kept for next winter.

-The weather isn't great...

-..so it's good to have warm boots

-to lead you into the spring.

-I have a word of warning with suede

-and I say this every time.

-Invest in the protective spray.

-It stops any of the salt marks.

-How often should you spray them?

-How often should you spray them?

-

-Spray them when you buy them.

-After that, it depends on

-how often they are worn.

-If you wear them

-every day to work...

-..I would advise you to spray them

-every Monday morning.

-Thank you, Huw.

-That's it for another week.

-The last hour has flown by.

-Make sure

-you join us again next week.

-Until then,

-keep practicing your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-but have plenty of fun too.

-Good morning to you all.
