0:03:130:03:15

0:03:160:03:22

-..but it has changed a lot

-in that time.

0:03:220:03:27

-It shows that you can succeed if

-you have passion and enthusiasm...

0:03:280:03:34

-Cawdel Cabwsh gerllaw Rosebush.

0:05:270:05:31

-As the name suggests,

-it's based in Pembrokeshire.

0:06:510:06:52

-Anybody home?

-

-as you've come back.

0:06:530:06:57

-I'll have them for lunch

-with a chop.

0:06:570:07:00

0:07:000:07:03

-a short period of rehearsals.

0:07:070:07:12

-I've performed in the

-Felinfach panto for eleven years.

0:07:130:07:16

0:07:170:07:22

0:07:530:07:54

-I'm Taran.

-

-Tirion!

0:07:540:07:55

-The panto is on the horizon

-but I don't think it's hit me yet.

0:07:550:08:01

-My lines are still on my hand

-so we'll wait and see how it goes.

0:08:010:08:06

-I think that when I'm in the wings

-and the curtains open...

0:08:060:08:10

-..is when the nerves will kick in!

0:08:110:08:13

-It's something exciting

-for the cold, winter nights.

0:08:130:08:19

-We need something

-to boost our spirits.

0:08:240:08:28

-# Is best #

0:08:280:08:37

-Yes, there's plenty of fun

-to be had in Felinfach.

0:08:390:08:42

-Spending time in hospital...

0:08:420:08:45

-..can be a very difficult experience

-during the Christmas period.

0:08:450:08:50

-The wards at Withybush Hospital

-have welcomed a new character...

0:08:500:08:54

-..who is sure

-to boost everyone's spirits.

0:08:550:08:58

-It's a very special day

-at Withybush Hospital...

0:09:010:09:06

-..as we launch a new mascot

-for the charity.

0:09:060:09:10

-It's a character called King Hywel.

0:09:100:09:13

-It plays on the concept

-of Hywel Dda or Hywel the Good.

0:09:130:09:17

-Children from Wolfscastle Community

-Primary School are here to meet him.

0:09:170:09:22

-Hywel!

0:09:230:09:24

0:09:250:09:26

-Hywel is the new mascot...

0:09:260:09:28

-..who helps children of our age to

-be happy when they are in hospital.

0:09:280:09:34

-He's a good man who helps others.

0:09:350:09:38

-Hywel is a king.

0:09:380:09:40

-We've had fun.

0:09:410:09:42

-He makes people in hospital

-feel happy.

0:09:430:09:46

-It's difficult as people

-want to be at home for Christmas...

0:09:500:09:54

-..but some need to be in hospital.

0:09:550:09:57

-Having the children here today

-has made people feel happier.

0:09:580:10:03

-It was a bit of fun and the children

-were excited to meet Hywel.

0:10:030:10:09

-It's great for the staff too.

0:10:100:10:12

-Yes, it's very heart-warming.

0:10:120:10:14

-It's difficult to be in hospital

-at this time of year...

0:10:160:10:21

-..but Hywel

-will make everyone smile.

0:10:210:10:24

-I'm sure Hywel will put a smile

-on everyone's faces...

0:10:280:10:32

-..at Withybush Hospital

-over Christmas.

0:10:320:10:35

-That's all for the first part but in

0:11:210:11:26

-Alan Cram is the manager

-of the Clydach Food Bank.

0:11:270:11:30

-First, can you explain

-the purpose of a food bank.

0:11:300:11:36

-People can approach us

-to get food...

0:11:360:11:40

-..to help them

-during a crisis or emergency.

0:11:400:11:44

-They can have a box of food...

0:11:440:11:48

-..that will feed them

-for three days...

0:11:480:11:52

-..but they have

-to bring a voucher with them.

0:11:520:11:58

-How many people

-are we talking about?

0:11:580:12:01

-How many people in Wales

-rely on food banks?

0:12:010:12:05

-In the last six months...

0:12:050:12:07

-..over 43,000 people...

0:12:070:12:11

-..have had food

-from the food banks in Wales.

0:12:110:12:14

-What sort of food

-do these people need?

0:12:150:12:20

-Some of our viewers

-might want to help...

0:12:200:12:23

-..so what sort of food do you need?

0:12:230:12:26

-We cannot accept fresh produce...

0:12:260:12:29

-..but will take packets and tins

-and so on.

0:12:290:12:33

-This includes beans, meat, fish...

0:12:330:12:37

-..cereals, UHT milk and so on.

0:12:380:12:42

-Do people simply visit your branch

-in Clydach...

0:12:430:12:48

-..to deliver the food to you?

0:12:480:12:50

-Yes, that's right.

0:12:500:12:51

-We receive a lot of food from

-chapels, schools and individuals.

0:12:520:12:57

-A lot of people bring food to us.

0:12:570:13:01

-Many will agree

-that you do some incredible work.

0:13:010:13:05

-We have to mention

-that you've learnt to speak Welsh.

0:13:060:13:10

-When did you start learning Welsh

-and why did you do it?

0:13:100:13:16

-It was a long time ago.

0:13:160:13:17

-I moved to North Wales

-over 25 years ago...

0:13:180:13:23

-..and my wife and I decided that

-we should learn to speak Welsh...

0:13:230:13:28

-..and here I am!

0:13:280:13:31

-Did you find learning Welsh

-something easy or difficult?

0:13:310:13:35

-I found it difficult.

0:13:360:13:38

-It isn't an easy language

-to learn...

0:13:380:13:42

-..but I've had a lot of fun

-learning Welsh over the years...

0:13:420:13:48

-..and I think I can finally

-communicate in Welsh...

0:13:480:13:54

-..relatively confidently.

0:13:540:13:56

-Your Welsh is excellent, Alan.

0:13:560:13:58

-Your Welsh is excellent, Alan.

-

-Thank you.

0:13:580:14:00

-What's your advice for those people

-watching this programme...

0:14:000:14:04

-..who are struggling

-to learn to speak Welsh?

0:14:050:14:09

-Keep at it!

0:14:090:14:11

-It's important

-to attend Welsh classes...

0:14:110:14:14

-..and speak Welsh

-as much as possible.

0:14:140:14:20

-Visit a Siop Siarad talking shop.

0:14:200:14:23

-Watch S4C and listen to Radio Cymru.

0:14:230:14:28

0:14:320:14:34

-Thank you

-and merry Christmas to you.

0:14:340:14:37

-Our next stop

-is the countryside of Powys...

0:14:370:14:40

-..to chat with the author,

-Myfanwy Alexander.

0:14:400:14:44

-Myfanwy has just finished writing

-her third novel.

0:14:440:14:48

-The novel is called Y Plygain Olaf.

0:14:480:14:52

-Gerallt Pennant

-chatted with the author herself.

0:14:520:14:56

-Myfanwy Alexander is a writer,

-politician and broadcaster.

0:15:010:15:07

-She has six daughters.

0:15:070:15:09

-Her Llanerfyl home

-suits her lively character.

0:15:090:15:14

-I doubt there's many thatched homes

-left in the old Montgomery.

0:15:150:15:20

-I'm told that it's the only one

-that has never had a slate roof.

0:15:210:15:25

-We were lucky enough to buy it

-when it needed a new thatched roof.

0:15:260:15:30

-The wealthy people from England

-stood back in horror at the thought.

0:15:300:15:36

-We did the job

-and it suits us down to the ground.

0:15:360:15:40

-They say a house

-mirrors its owner...

0:15:400:15:44

-..and the owner mirrors its home.

0:15:450:15:47

-Look at it.

0:15:480:15:49

-It's old, covered in moss

-but will survive for centuries!

0:15:490:15:54

-Myfanwy Alexander's novels

-are witty and cheeky.

0:15:540:15:58

-Murders at Meifod Eisteddfod

-and the Assembly elections...

0:15:580:16:03

-..leave her main character

-with a lot of mysteries to solve.

0:16:030:16:07

-Is this the sort of house...

0:16:070:16:10

-..where we would find the hero

-of your novels, Detective Dai Dafis?

0:16:100:16:15

-In the last story, he bought a house

-similar to this one.

0:16:150:16:20

-One similarity is his obsession

-with chopping wood for the burner.

0:16:200:16:26

-In the story,

-he's bought a house like this...

0:16:260:16:30

-..but it needs renovating.

0:16:300:16:33

-It's more of a ruin.

0:16:330:16:35

-Your three novels feature murders

-in the Welsh countryside.

0:16:350:16:40

-Montgomery sounds like

-a very dangerous place.

0:16:400:16:43

-Yes, we're dangerous and look out

-if you rock the boat in Montgomery!

0:16:430:16:48

-That's what people expect

-in a detective novel.

0:16:490:16:52

-The latest murder happens

-in a Plygain service of all places.

0:16:530:16:59

-Yes, and I love the Plygain

-despite having a voice like a crow!

0:16:590:17:04

-When people gather, emotions rise

-and anything can happen.

0:17:050:17:11

-This character has a number

-of enemies at this Plygain service.

0:17:110:17:17

-The singer, Sian James is Myfanwy's

-neighbour and childhood friend.

0:17:210:17:26

-Sian's been to many

-Plygain services...

0:17:270:17:30

-..but I hope that you've never

-witnessed a murder at one of them.

0:17:300:17:34

-No, I hope not...

0:17:340:17:36

-..but a lot of stories in the oral

-tradition talk about the Plygain.

0:17:360:17:41

-My father told me about young men

-going to church for the Plygain...

0:17:410:17:47

-..with a bag of birds.

0:17:470:17:51

-They set them free in the service

-and caused mayhem.

0:17:510:17:55

-I remember the story of one Plygain

-at the church in Llanerfyl...

0:17:560:18:02

-..where the vicar was fed up with

-the drunken men in the church...

0:18:020:18:08

-..so he walked to the back

-of the church and locked the door.

0:18:080:18:13

-He took hold of a stick...

0:18:140:18:16

-..and whacked one of the men

-across the head.

0:18:160:18:21

-It's quite similar to your story!

0:18:220:18:25

-Well, Myfanwy...

0:18:250:18:27

-..I assume that Daf Dafis

-solves the murder at the Plygain.

0:18:270:18:33

-You'll have to wait and see...

0:18:330:18:35

-..dah-dah-dah!

0:18:360:18:38

-Good luck with the book

-and thank you for the warm welcome.

0:18:390:18:45

-That sounds like

-a very exciting novel.

0:18:520:18:56

-Every day is a national day

-for something or other.

0:18:560:19:00

-Believe it or not...

0:19:000:19:02

-..but it was National Poinsettia Day

-last Tuesday.

0:19:020:19:06

-What's the history of this Christmas

-plant and where is it from?

0:19:060:19:11

-Ieuan, our gardening guru

-has all the answers.

0:19:110:19:14

-Ah, the poinsettia.

0:19:200:19:22

-It's one of the most popular plants

-to give and receive at Christmas...

0:19:220:19:28

-..thanks to its striking red colour.

0:19:290:19:31

-To achieve this red hue...

0:19:310:19:33

-..the plant needs 14 hours of

-darkness every day for two months...

0:19:340:19:40

-..and plenty of sunlight

-to develop a bright colour.

0:19:400:19:45

-There are different varieties

-that come in shades of red...

0:19:450:19:50

-..pink, orange, light green,

-cream and white.

0:19:500:19:55

-Poinsettia's are house plants

-in Britain as frost can kill them.

0:19:550:20:01

-It's indigenous in Mexico.

0:20:010:20:03

-Plants are found

-growing in the wild...

0:20:040:20:07

-..up to a height

-of over twelve feet!

0:20:070:20:10

-The plant's ties with Christmas date

-back to the 16th century in Mexico.

0:20:110:20:17

-The tale is of a little girl...

0:20:170:20:19

-..who couldn't afford a gift

-to celebrate the birth of Christ.

0:20:200:20:24

-An angel told her to collect weeds

-and present them at a church altar.

0:20:240:20:30

-The weeds developed red leaves...

0:20:300:20:33

-..and became the poinsettia

-that we know today.

0:20:330:20:37

-Poinsettias are now

-popular Christmas decorations...

0:20:370:20:42

-..in our homes, churches and offices

-all around the world.

0:20:420:20:47

-Merry Christmas!

0:20:480:20:50

-That was very interesting.

0:20:520:20:54

-A brand-new toy

-has arrived in the shops.

0:20:540:20:57

-The toy is called Seren Swynol and

-it's very popular this Christmas.

0:20:580:21:03

-Following Cari Mon's birth

-two years ago...

0:21:060:21:09

-..I was disappointed to find there

-weren't any Welsh singing toys.

0:21:090:21:14

-Cari loves the favourites like Mi

-Welais Jac y Do and Mynd Drot Drot.

0:21:150:21:21

-I'd sing them to her every night

-but it got very tiring...

0:21:210:21:25

-..so I decided

-to devise a toy for her.

0:21:260:21:30

-The star-shaped toy features tunes

-from the Cwm Rhyd Y Rhosyn CD...

0:21:340:21:39

-..with vocals from Dafydd Iwan

-and Edward Morris Jones.

0:21:390:21:43

-This is Seren Swynol.

0:21:430:21:45

-Seren Swynol sings a lot of songs.

0:21:460:21:50

-Do you want to sing

-Dacw Mam Yn Dwad?

0:21:500:21:52

-One, two, three...

0:21:530:21:55

-# Here Mummy comes

-over the white stile #

0:21:550:22:00

-Seren is great and he loves it.

0:22:000:22:03

-It's very colourful and really soft.

0:22:030:22:06

-He's been teething for the last

-four months so he's been biting it.

0:22:060:22:10

-It's useful and he loves the songs.

0:22:110:22:13

-# One, two and four

0:22:130:22:15

-# And the little pig is sitting

-so pretty on the stool #

0:22:150:22:20

-Macsi hasn't played with Seren as

-she asked Father Christmas for one.

0:22:200:22:25

-It's on her list

-and hopes to have one for Christmas.

0:22:250:22:29

-We love Seren as it's a Welsh toy.

0:22:310:22:35

-It has the songs we sing at home

-so Seren means I can rest my voice.

0:22:360:22:42

-Seren has different shapes

-and colours so it's educational too.

0:22:420:22:46

-# He looked in surprise

-and laughed #

0:22:470:22:50

-It's great that others

-have agreed with us...

0:22:500:22:54

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

-for a toy like this.

0:22:540:22:58

-It's a wonderful feeling to see

-other children playing with it.

0:22:580:23:03

-I walk down the street and

-see Seren Swynol hanging on prams.

0:23:030:23:08

-It's amazing to think the idea

-started at home.

0:23:080:23:11

-# A white hat on his head

-and two wooden legs

0:23:110:23:14

-# Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho #

0:23:150:23:17

-Wow, that looks like

-a great present.

0:23:190:23:21

-We're taking a short break so you

-can make yourself a quick cuppa.

0:23:220:23:26

-In the third part

-of the programme...

0:23:260:23:29

-..we visit the theatre to enjoy

-a show for the whole family.

0:23:290:23:33

-The policewoman, Andrea Davies chats

-about the drink driving campaign.

0:23:340:23:39

-We also prepare to celebrate

-Wales' Year of the Sea.

0:23:390:23:44

-I'll see you back here

-in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

0:23:590:24:01

-Last week,

-Yvonne visited the theatre...

0:24:010:24:04

-..to enjoy a show

-full of magic and excitement...

0:24:040:24:08

-..called Hud y Crochan Uwd.

0:24:080:24:10

-It's suitable for children aged

-between three and six years old...

0:24:100:24:15

-..and is worth seeing.

0:24:150:24:17

-Visit the Sherman Theatre

-in Cardiff...

0:24:220:24:25

-..and enter a village in a forest

-that has a Magic Porridge Pot!

0:24:250:24:31

-This Brothers Grimm story has been

-adapted to stage by Alun Saunders.

0:24:310:24:37

-The original story is of a young

-girl who lives with her mother.

0:24:370:24:43

-They are very poor.

0:24:430:24:45

-One day, she meets a magical person

-in the forest.

0:24:450:24:48

-She isn't a witch

-but a magical person.

0:24:490:24:51

-This woman gives her a pot

-that magically makes porridge.

0:24:520:24:56

-She comes home and makes porridge.

0:24:570:24:59

-One day, the mother tries to use it

-and can't stop the pot...

0:24:590:25:05

-..so the porridge floods

-the village.

0:25:050:25:08

-# A bit of this, a pound of that, a

-hand of this and a bucket of more #

0:25:080:25:13

-I play Aggie in the play.

0:25:140:25:16

-She's a young, adventurous girl

-who wants to help all the villagers.

0:25:160:25:22

-Unfortunately, she isn't very lucky.

0:25:220:25:25

-One day, her mother, Nene falls ill.

0:25:250:25:27

-Aggie has to be responsible

-and look after Nene...

0:25:280:25:32

-..and returns home

-with the Magic Porridge Pot.

0:25:330:25:36

-Unfortunately,

-a few things go wrong!

0:25:360:25:39

-It will give you the best porridge

-you've ever tasted in your life.

0:25:390:25:43

-I play Nene who is Aggie's mother.

0:25:440:25:47

-I also play the villagers...

0:25:470:25:49

-..and Madam Ragana,

-who is the witch in the forest.

0:25:490:25:54

-She's more than a witch...

0:25:540:25:57

-..as she's a wise woman

-who wants to share her wisdom...

0:25:570:26:01

-..and teaches Aggie

-and the villagers a lesson.

0:26:010:26:07

-This is the village of Pyng-Hyga

-in the centre of the giant forest.

0:26:070:26:12

-We're sitting in the house

-of Aggie and Nene.

0:26:130:26:16

-We're surrounded by trees.

0:26:160:26:19

-There's the house of the baker,

-Mr Toc.

0:26:200:26:22

-Miss Colfen chops the wood

-and Dr Denio milks the cattle.

0:26:230:26:27

-What are you doing today?

0:26:270:26:28

-What are you doing today?

-

-I'm chopping wood.

0:26:280:26:29

-They don't have a lot of money.

0:26:300:26:32

-You have this scenario...

0:26:320:26:34

-..of a single parent

-doing her best to raise her child.

0:26:340:26:40

-The little girl

-loves helping others.

0:26:400:26:44

-# Awake and rise

-but what will this day hold?

0:26:440:26:47

-# Awake and rise #

0:26:480:26:49

-Dyfan Jones composed the music

-and there's some lovely songs.

0:26:490:26:55

-Hanna and I sing them twice a day...

0:26:560:26:59

-..and I still sing them

-to my daughter at home!

0:26:590:27:02

-Hanna and I have both noticed

-a few children leaving...

0:27:020:27:06

-..singing Deffro Codi

-which is at the start and the end.

0:27:070:27:10

-# The sun is shining

-so what should I do? #

0:27:110:27:14

-As well as singing and acting...

0:27:140:27:17

-..Mali and I also play instruments.

0:27:180:27:21

-I play the guitar

-and Mali plays the marimba.

0:27:210:27:24

-I play the marimba too.

0:27:250:27:26

-Neither of us could play the marimba

-so that was a new skill to learn.

0:27:260:27:32

-The aim was to create

-timeless themes...

0:27:320:27:36

-..that include sharing, listening

-to each other and being kind...

0:27:360:27:41

-..and simple things that children

-can see and understand...

0:27:420:27:46

-..and take something away with them.

0:27:460:27:49

-It's also something

-for adults to consider.

0:27:490:27:52

-The children's response

-is immediate...

0:27:520:27:55

-..in terms of how they look at you

-when you start talking.

0:27:560:28:00

-They are all ready to play the game,

-join the story and believe it all.

0:28:010:28:06

-That's the magical thing about it.

0:28:070:28:10

-Mmm, it's like tasting a rainbow!

0:28:100:28:14

-That show looks brilliant.

0:28:170:28:20

-I'm sure my daughters, Lili and Alys

-will love that show.

0:28:200:28:25

-Every Christmas, the police

-launches its drink driving campaign.

0:28:250:28:31

-Last week, Andrea Davies

-from South Wales Police...

0:28:320:28:35

-..visited Prynhawn Da to chat about

-the important campaign.

0:28:350:28:40

-The Christmas parties

-are in full swing.

0:28:410:28:44

-The Heno and Prynhawn Da party was

-last week and it was a great night.

0:28:440:28:48

-The annual drink driving campaign

-is also afoot.

0:28:490:28:52

-Andrea Davies from South Wales

-Police can tell us more.

0:28:520:28:56

-Before we chat about the parties...

0:28:560:28:59

-..your work involves travelling

-around and speaking to young people.

0:28:590:29:05

-Yes, and I've been with the police

-for 20 years.

0:29:050:29:09

-I know I don't look old enough!

0:29:090:29:12

-My job title

-is a Schools Liaison Officer.

0:29:130:29:18

-I visit schools and talk to children

-from nursery age to Sixth Formers.

0:29:180:29:24

-I visit colleges too.

0:29:240:29:26

-I generally chat

-with Years 10 and 11...

0:29:260:29:30

-..about the effects of alcohol

-and drugs.

0:29:300:29:35

-It's party season.

0:29:350:29:36

-Many young people will have started

-driving or can't drive yet...

0:29:370:29:41

-..but the message is the same.

0:29:420:29:44

-Yes, of course.

0:29:440:29:45

-We talk about drinking too much

-alcohol or binge drinking...

0:29:460:29:50

-..and ensure they stick

-to the same drink all night...

0:29:500:29:54

-..and avoid mixing their drinks.

0:29:540:29:57

-Another important factor

-to point out...

0:29:570:30:00

-..is that they do not

-leave their drinks unattended...

0:30:000:30:06

-..so that nobody

-puts something in their drinks.

0:30:060:30:10

-Those who are out

-in a group of people...

0:30:100:30:13

-..should ensure

-that everyone arrives home safely.

0:30:130:30:17

-One person might have drunk more

-than the others in the group...

0:30:170:30:21

-..so make sure

-that person arrives home safely.

0:30:220:30:25

-Don't take risks but get a taxi

-or the last bus and don't walk home.

0:30:250:30:30

-Don't walk home and stay within

-your group when it's possible.

0:30:300:30:36

-Alcohol can change in its strength

-from drink to drink.

0:30:360:30:41

-People should be educated...

0:30:410:30:43

-..that a pint of beer differs

-in strength to a glass of wine...

0:30:430:30:47

-..and other drinks.

0:30:480:30:50

-Yes, and some beers

-are stronger than others.

0:30:500:30:54

-One person could go out and drink

-a pint of one particular beer...

0:30:540:31:00

-..and someone else drinks a pint of

-a different beer that is stronger.

0:31:000:31:05

-The diagram shows us the equivalent

-of one unit of alcohol.

0:31:060:31:10

-It doesn't take much

-to consume one unit of alcohol.

0:31:100:31:13

-It's about half a pint

-of a typical beer.

0:31:140:31:16

-Do we know how many units you can

-drink before you're over the limit?

0:31:160:31:21

-Does it differ

-from person to person?

0:31:220:31:24

-We do not measure units

-when checking for drink driving...

0:31:250:31:29

-..as we use the breathalyzer.

0:31:290:31:32

-Let me make sure

-I get the measurements correct.

0:31:320:31:35

-They measure millilitres of alcohol

-in micrograms of breath.

0:31:360:31:40

-The person blows into a tube

-and that is what is measured.

0:31:400:31:44

-We tend to say

-that one unit can be half a pint.

0:31:450:31:50

-That one unit can affect

-one person more than another.

0:31:510:31:56

-Alcohol affects everyone

-differently.

0:31:560:31:59

-It's also affected by food

-and if you've had a busy day or not.

0:32:000:32:05

-There are many factors involved.

0:32:050:32:08

-Yes, those are a few factors.

0:32:080:32:11

-Other factors include fatigue...

0:32:110:32:14

-..any illnesses where

-you have taken prescription drugs...

0:32:140:32:19

-..the amount a person has eaten

-and your body size.

0:32:190:32:23

-Many factors alter

-the way alcohol affects a body.

0:32:240:32:27

-If you plan on driving that night

-or the morning after...

0:32:270:32:32

-..it's best to avoid alcohol.

0:32:320:32:34

-You should not drink any alcohol.

0:32:350:32:37

-Those driving the morning after...

0:32:370:32:39

-..should remember that it takes time

-for the body to pass the alcohol.

0:32:400:32:45

-Ten micrograms of alcohol...

0:32:450:32:49

-..tends to take about an hour

-to pass through the body.

0:32:490:32:53

-It doesn't pass through the body

-quickly.

0:32:530:32:56

-Thanks to Andrea for reminding us

-of the importance of that campaign.

0:32:570:33:03

-In Wales,

-2017 is the Year of Legends...

0:33:030:33:09

-..and we can reveal that 2018

-will be the Year of the Sea.

0:33:090:33:14

-It was launched last week

-and our cameras were there too.

0:33:140:33:19

-Wales' Year of the Sea...

0:33:280:33:30

-..is a theme we've adopted

-as a government and Visit Wales...

0:33:300:33:35

-..to encourage people

-to take an interest in Wales.

0:33:360:33:39

-We want the people of Wales

-and those outside the country...

0:33:390:33:44

-..to enjoy our coastal areas.

0:33:440:33:46

-Wales has

-an incredibly long coast...

0:33:460:33:49

-..that you can enjoy by land or sea.

0:33:490:33:53

-It's a superb attraction.

0:33:530:33:55

-Even our closest neighbours

-in England...

0:33:560:33:59

-..fail to recognize the magnitude of

-Wales within its small landscapes.

0:34:000:34:05

-One event

-that we're expecting to host...

0:34:050:34:09

-..is the prestigious

-Volvo Ocean Race.

0:34:100:34:14

-The sailing race

-will enter Cardiff...

0:34:140:34:18

-..and the whole world will get

-to experience Cardiff and Wales.

0:34:180:34:24

-I'm very excited

-to celebrate the Year of the Sea.

0:34:290:34:34

-In the final part

-of the programme...

0:34:350:34:38

-..Huw joins us with advice on the

-best gifts from the fashion world.

-Welcome back.

0:35:110:35:13

-If you want to buy a garment...

0:35:130:35:15

-..as a Christmas present for your

-husband, wife, father or son...

0:35:150:35:20

-..listen carefully to Huw

-as he has some useful advice.

0:35:200:35:24

-You've got gift ideas

-from the world of fashion.

0:35:250:35:28

-This is a fashion slot but all these

-garments can be Christmas gifts.

0:35:290:35:35

-First, I have to thank

-a new shop in Narberth.

0:35:350:35:39

-We don't usually

-refer to individual shops...

0:35:390:35:42

-..but The Welsh Collection...

0:35:420:35:44

-..has designers of fashion, textiles

-and jewellery from Pembrokeshire.

0:35:440:35:50

-They joined forces...

0:35:500:35:52

-..under the guidance of Clare Johns

-who designed this piece.

0:35:520:35:56

-It's ideal if you're looking

-for gifts by Welsh designers.

0:35:570:36:01

-These are expensive

-because they are all handmade.

0:36:020:36:07

-A bag could take

-up to three days to make.

0:36:070:36:11

-We've mixed them

-with high street items...

0:36:120:36:15

-..so that it suits every pocket.

0:36:150:36:17

-These are unique and special gifts.

0:36:170:36:20

-If you have something

-from the top of the list...

0:36:200:36:24

-..you won't get much else!

0:36:240:36:26

-We'll start with Nia.

0:36:260:36:28

-I'll be showing you expensive

-scarves and high street items.

0:36:290:36:33

-This morning, I went to Outfit

-which is a great store...

0:36:330:36:37

-..as it has a lot of labels

-under one roof.

0:36:370:36:40

-We start with the scarf that is 15.

0:36:400:36:44

-Don't forget

-to keep an eye out for the sales!

0:36:440:36:48

-I've been waiting for a scarf

-to go on sale for months.

0:36:480:36:51

-I got fed up of waiting so bought

-another gift and wrapped it.

0:36:520:36:56

-I was in the shop on Monday

-and it was half price!

0:36:560:36:59

-I was crying at the till.

0:36:590:37:01

-Nia can open the scarf...

0:37:010:37:04

-..to reveal the fur gilet.

0:37:040:37:08

-There's a faux leather jacket as you

-rarely find real leather these days.

0:37:090:37:14

-All these garments are great gifts.

0:37:140:37:17

-Nia can show us the bag that is

-a perfect match with the scarf.

0:37:170:37:21

-This bag is by a company

-called Swag And Tassel.

0:37:220:37:25

-She travels to Asia, Persia

-and those countries...

0:37:250:37:29

-..to buy old carpets that are used

-in making the bags.

0:37:290:37:35

-She now has a range

-of beautiful suede bags.

0:37:350:37:38

-She dyes the suede

-and makes everything and it's 125.

0:37:380:37:42

-The price is a reflection

-of it's uniqueness.

0:37:420:37:46

-Yes, and you pay 85 for a bag

-from Marks and Spencer.

0:37:460:37:50

-This is handmade in Wales

-and you support someone local.

0:37:500:37:54

-We've got plenty of other bags

-that are much cheaper.

0:37:540:37:58

-I think it's lovely and suits Nia.

0:37:590:38:01

-Nia's ready for the weekend snow.

0:38:020:38:04

-Men worry about buying and women

-worry about what they have to open.

0:38:040:38:10

-Women should visit the shops...

0:38:100:38:12

-..make a list of everything you like

-in the shop with the special code...

0:38:130:38:18

-..and give it to your husband!

0:38:190:38:21

-He can go to River Island and H&M

-with a list of items to buy.

0:38:210:38:26

-Don't buy it if it isn't on the list

-and you can't go wrong.

0:38:260:38:30

-Someone will complain

-about not having any surprises!

0:38:300:38:36

-The surprise comes

-when you don't have any presents...

0:38:360:38:40

-..because there was nothing

-on the list in your size.

0:38:400:38:44

-Let's turn to Gareth...

0:38:440:38:46

-..and we'll work from head to toe.

0:38:460:38:49

-This Pembrokeshire designer

-specializes in knitwear.

0:38:490:38:54

-She has alpacas on her farm.

0:38:540:38:59

-They shear the alpacas,

-dye the wool...

0:38:590:39:02

-..and she knits by hand and machine.

0:39:020:39:05

-She's very clever.

0:39:060:39:07

-We start with the cap.

0:39:070:39:09

-Gareth can lean forward to show us

-the array of stitches and patterns.

0:39:090:39:15

-We also have this lovely scarf.

0:39:150:39:19

-I suffer with wool

-next to my skin...

0:39:190:39:23

-..but these garments feel wonderful

-next to the skin.

0:39:230:39:27

-It's 76 for the scarf

-and 46 for the hat.

0:39:270:39:29

-I don't think that's bad at all.

0:39:300:39:33

-Yes, and you have to remember

-that it is alpaca wool.

0:39:330:39:36

-Yes, and they are wrapped

-beautifully for delivery.

0:39:370:39:40

-I like all that fuss.

0:39:400:39:42

-I've teamed it with similar tones

-from the high street.

0:39:430:39:47

-This coat is 50 from TopMan.

0:39:470:39:50

-If you want a jumper for your

-husband, boyfriend or son...

0:39:500:39:54

-..opt for a polo neck

-as it's very fashionable.

0:39:540:39:58

-Thank you, Gareth.

0:39:580:40:00

-Next, we have Sian

-who is picture perfect.

0:40:000:40:03

-That coat makes a real statement.

0:40:040:40:06

-All of these

-are from the high street.

0:40:060:40:09

-It's the sort of coat

-you would have spotted...

0:40:090:40:13

-..and told someone to go

-to Marks and Spencer to buy it!

0:40:130:40:18

-Take a photograph on your phone

-and you should get what you want.

0:40:190:40:23

-It's beautiful.

0:40:230:40:25

-This coat works on many levels

-so I've picked out the accents.

0:40:250:40:29

-I've got a tip for the men.

0:40:290:40:31

-If you see this in your wife,

-girlfriend or daughter's wardrobe...

0:40:310:40:36

-..choose one of the colours

-and buy the matching accessories.

0:40:360:40:42

-We have the scarf necklace.

0:40:420:40:45

-It's very reasonably priced

-at 17.50.

0:40:450:40:50

-There's also these great gloves.

0:40:500:40:54

-A lot of people are superstitious

-about giving gloves.

0:40:540:40:58

-I didn't know this but giving gloves

-is a sign that you're leaving them!

0:40:580:41:04

-I've heard that.

0:41:040:41:05

-I thought it was a watch!

0:41:060:41:06

-I thought it was a watch!

-

-Yes, I've heard the same.

0:41:060:41:08

-This lovely bag has pretty details

-and is 29.50.

0:41:080:41:13

-If you're not buying the jacket...

0:41:130:41:16

-..you can buy the accessories

-to make it all the more special.

0:41:160:41:20

-Those were some very useful tips

-from Huw.

0:41:200:41:23

-A brand-new lorry

-has reached the Welsh roads.

0:41:240:41:27

-It's a very Christmassy lorry.

0:41:270:41:30

-Don't forget to toot your horn

-if you see it!

0:41:300:41:33

-Our Christmas lorry has had

-much more attention than expected.

0:41:380:41:44

-Our pages of Facebook and Twitter

-have been very busy.

0:41:440:41:48

-Our hashtag is #chsanta

0:41:480:41:51

-We've set the public a challenge

-to send us their photographs.

0:41:510:41:57

-We choose a favourite each week

-and people can win a hamper.

0:41:580:42:02

-It's about sharing the spirit

-of goodwill at Christmas.

0:42:030:42:07

-Our Christmas lorry

-has travelled all over Wales.

0:42:070:42:11

-It spent a week

-in Blaenau Ffestiniog and Merthyr.

0:42:110:42:15

-It's in Chirk next week.

0:42:150:42:17

-We also deliver to Carmarthenshire,

-Pembrokeshire, Swansea and Cardiff.

0:42:170:42:22

-It's been everywhere.

0:42:230:42:24

-The drivers have been brilliant

-and enjoy going out in the lorry.

0:42:290:42:34

-Father Christmas has been busy

-visiting schools in South Wales.

0:42:340:42:40

-I've been very busy driving around

-the villages and schools.

0:42:400:42:44

-The children see the lorry and know

-that Santa is bringing some gifts.

0:42:450:42:50

-Our Christmas lorry needed a simple

-message so it says Merry Christmas!

0:42:510:42:57

-It also features

-the Castell Howell name and logo...

0:42:570:43:01

-..and the things that people

-associate with Christmas...

0:43:010:43:05

-..so there's Father Christmas,

-snow, lights, tinsel...

0:43:050:43:11

-..and a stocking inside.

0:43:110:43:14

-If you see the lorry, take a photo

-if it's safe and send it to us.

0:43:140:43:18

-Toot the horn and wave to the driver

-as it could be Father Christmas!

0:43:190:43:23

-That's brilliant.

0:43:280:43:30

-Our Christmas theme continues...

0:43:300:43:33

-..with a lovely song

-called Nadolig am Ryw Hyd...

0:43:330:43:37

-..by the young singer from Bangor,

-Cadi Gwen.

0:43:370:43:41

-# What will you do?

-It's December once again

0:43:470:43:51

-# Will you turn your back

-on the merriment in the street?

0:43:510:43:55

-# Draw the curtains tighter

0:43:550:43:59

-# And shut yourself away

-from the world

0:43:590:44:03

-# There's a box

-in the corner of the attic

0:44:040:44:08

-# And a spectacular tree

0:44:080:44:12

-# But its branches

0:44:120:44:15

-# Are heavy under the sadness

-of yesteryear

0:44:160:44:20

-# But I know

-that there's a sweet carol

0:44:210:44:24

-# Singing in your head

0:44:240:44:27

-# I know in the depths of the night

0:44:290:44:32

-# There's one star is in your sky

0:44:320:44:38

-# For some time

0:44:390:44:42

-# Let the bright lights sparkle

0:44:420:44:46

-# In your blessed world

0:44:460:44:50

-# Let the snow fall down

0:44:500:44:55

-# For some time

0:44:550:44:58

-# Try to see

-through the eyes of a child

0:44:580:45:03

-# Full of excitement

0:45:040:45:07

-# Let Christmas bring its dawn

0:45:070:45:12

-# What will you do

-when winter comes?

0:45:290:45:33

-# Shelter from the bitter wind

0:45:340:45:37

-# Wrap the darkness around you

0:45:380:45:40

-# And turn off

-the pictures and sound

0:45:410:45:46

-# There's a box in the cupboard

0:45:460:45:50

-# Full of candles

-that twinkle like stars

0:45:500:45:54

-# But I'm late lighting them

0:45:550:45:58

-# You can see their tears of wax

0:45:580:46:02

-# But I know

-that there's a sweet carol

0:46:030:46:06

-# Singing in your head

0:46:070:46:09

-# I know in the depths of the night

0:46:110:46:14

-# There's one star is in your sky

0:46:150:46:20

-# For some time

0:46:210:46:24

-# Let the bright lights sparkle

0:46:240:46:27

-# Bright lights sparkle

0:46:270:46:29

-# In your blessed world

0:46:290:46:32

-# Let the snow fall down

0:46:320:46:35

-# Snow fall down

0:46:350:46:37

-# For some time

0:46:380:46:41

-# Try to see through

-the eyes of a child

0:46:410:46:45

-# Full of excitement

0:46:450:46:49

-# Let Christmas bring its dawn #

0:46:490:46:54

-That was beautiful.

0:47:180:47:20

-Thank you, Cadi.

0:47:200:47:21

-That's all for this morning.

0:47:210:47:23

-The hour has flown by.

0:47:240:47:25

-Thank you for your company...

0:47:260:47:28

-..and thanks to Alan Cram

-for joining me...

0:47:280:47:31

-..and reminding us of the importance

-of food banks at Christmas.

0:47:310:47:36

-I'll be back next week

-which will be Christmas Eve!

0:47:360:47:41

-Until then, enjoy the remainder

-of your weekend...

0:47:420:47:45

-..and a very good morning

-to you all.
