0:08:01 > 0:08:07- It's a great score and is why your - cap looks so sorry for itself!
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Yes, when you shoot 100 out of 100 - for the first time...

0:13:41 > 0:13:47- I use a diary to write reminders - of any daily and monthly events...

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- How long have you kept a diary?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- It started when I was farming...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- ..and I didn't keep one before then.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- In 1971, I had my first diary.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- I don't know why - I started writing in a diary.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- I kept a record of stock - and births...
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- ..and this filled the diary - every day.

0:14:30 > 0:14:35- The accountant would enquire - about a cheque...
0:14:35 > 0:14:41- ..and I'd get the date and - refer back to my diary.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- You've also noted - when you purchased cars.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- And who I bought them from.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Yes, your grandfather.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- And how many days - it took to buy them.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- You tried to bag a bargain!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- I used to record the weather...
0:14:59 > 0:15:04- ..but nothing of relevance now.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I'll write about your visit today.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Yes, I'm in your diary!
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- But not everyone - is as detailed as Bert.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Some use a diary to note what is set - to come rather than what has been.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- I'm a freelance make-up artist.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Some of my clients come to me - but I will mostly travel to them.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33- I've got to have it.

0:15:39 > 0:15:45- I take bookings via social media - or messages on Facebook.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- I make a note of it in my phone - if I haven't got my diary at hand.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I go home to write it in my diary...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- ..in case something happens - to my phone.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- It goes straight from my phone - into my diary just in case.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08- In Carmarthen, that's all Miriam - wanted for Christmas was a diary.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- When I opened the diary...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- ..I was delighted.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- I went straight upstairs - to start writing in it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- I've noted family birthdays...
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- ..and also written some secrets.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- I've got a purple invisible pen.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- You can't see anything - when you write with it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- It comes with a light...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- ..that shows what you've written.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- When someone tries to break - into my diary...
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- ..they can't read my messages.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- I hope my diary is full - by the end of the year.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- I couldn't live without my diary.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- It would be strange without it.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22- If I don't write in it for a few - days I tend to forget everything!
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- It's fair to say I'd be lost - without my diary.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Next, we head to the - Prynhawn Da kitchen...

0:18:01 > 0:18:03- People don't want lemonade...
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- ..but sophisticated and - interesting drinks.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- There's a wider choice available.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- They distil them - in the same way as gin.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- Herbs and botanicals are used...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- ..for different flavours.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43- This is nice.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- They also use the same vines - as they use for wine.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- The challenge facing companies is - that they produce bitter drinks...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- ..that are interesting and - not too sweet either.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- There's a gap in the market.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- The bottles are also nice.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Serve them in a wine glass too.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14- They are also working - on non-alcohol liqueurs.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- You would get the flavour - of the gin...
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- ..but not the alcohol.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Crisps are a popular snack.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Potato crisps - have always been popular.

0:25:01 > 0:25:06- I'd just started a PhD in virology - and immunology in Cardiff.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- I didn't know anything - about the language...

0:25:47 > 0:25:53- I saw all of the poetry, - literature and music.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- I noticed that the language - was very different to English.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04- I met a lot of Welsh learners so - thought that I could learn it too.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- Your method of learning was unusual - as you taught yourself.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- How did you do it?
0:26:13 > 0:26:19- I learnt on the website, - www.saysomethinginwelsh.com
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It was perfect for me...
0:26:22 > 0:26:28- ..as I was working very long hours - throughout the day...
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- ..which meant that - I couldn't really attend classes...
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- ..as I didn't have two hours a week - to spare.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42- The app was easy to use - and I could learn the language...
0:26:42 > 0:26:47- ..when I was cleaning, washing up - or whilst working in the laboratory.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54- It was easy because I would hear - something and repeat it in Welsh.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- When did you feel confident enough - to converse in Welsh?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Do you remember - that first conversation?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27- It has truly changed your life.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- When I moved to Cardiff...

0:27:33 > 0:27:38- We would promote science in cafes, - bars and other locations.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44- I wanted to work with children - in schools and in festivals.

0:27:49 > 0:27:54- After a year and a half - of learning Welsh...
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- ..I volunteered - for the Tafwyl Festival.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03- For the past two years, I've been - able to work in the science tent...
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- ..and teach young children - about science.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12- Scientific terminology - is difficult in English and Welsh.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17- Is it difficult for you to swap - from one language to the next?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- I find it quite easy.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- I learn the words, terms - and phrases that I need.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- I'm often speaking - with young children...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- ..so I only need - simple words and terms.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37- I don't need to use long - and complicated sentences.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- You also work with children - in schools across Wales.

0:29:20 > 0:29:25- ..to distribute the quiz - in both Welsh and English schools...
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- ..so I've taken the quiz - to schools in North Wales.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- They were amazed - at how I've learnt Welsh...
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- ..and I'm passionate - about teaching them about science.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42- Before moving to Cardiff, you didn't - know anything about Wales...
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- ..but now understand our language - and culture.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- You must see Wales - in a different light.
0:29:49 > 0:29:55- Yes, and there are - two sides to Wales.
0:29:55 > 0:30:01- There's one side - which is quite Anglicized...
0:30:01 > 0:30:06- ..and a side that boasts - the Welsh language.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11- I can now appreciate - its culture and heritage...
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- ..and understand the essence - of the various parts in Wales.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- It's also helped me - to appreciate language in general...
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- ..so I've just started - learning Italian!

0:32:12 > 0:32:16- ..of Plygain services - after Christmas...
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- ..so we created our own tradition.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- It was my idea to include - Cerdd Dant, popular songs...
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- ..the old favourites...
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- ..and unfamiliar carols - from the hymn book.

0:33:38 > 0:33:44- Plygain is a religious service where - people perform sing and recite...
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- ..but it's still religious - and isn't a concert.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- It's very different and - includes prayers, Bible readings...

0:38:20 > 0:38:26- This cardigan wouldn't look out - of place with a white linen dress.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Under the cardigan, - we have a t-shirt.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- When buying a t-shirt - for your capsule wardrobe...
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- ..in a black or white colour...
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- ..choose one - with a three-quarter sleeve.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- It's great for the winter - as it will keep you warm...
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- ..and in the summer, - the sleeves can be pushed up.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- We've dressed this look with jeans - for the winter.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01- You could wear a floral skirt - with a t-shirt in the summer...
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- ..or a thick polo neck jumper - in the winter.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- You could team them with black - jeans, trousers or a skirt...
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- ..it depends on preference.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- These white shoes - can transform a look.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Let's remove the coat and cardigan.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- You can see - the three-quarter sleeve.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29- I still can't find a way to remove - the clothes carefully.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- You usually give them to me.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- The next item of clothing is a coat.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- A gilet is always useful.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Make sure you opt - for a colourful one.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- A dark colour will be too heavy - for the summer.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- You could go for any colour gilet - in this shape.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- This is a light fashionable gilet.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55- Some people may want to go - for a technical gilet...
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- ..with special feathers.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- This is the time to opt - for a cheaper gilet.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07- A cheap gilet is perfect - to wear under a coat or jacket.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- This one will work well - if you're going for a walk.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- You could wear it with a - dress, t-shirt or blouse.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- This colour will match everything.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- You could roll it up and - keep in it a bag.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Since losing weight, - I've purchased one of these.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32- They do tend - to make you look bigger.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- A denim jacket is essential.
0:40:35 > 0:40:41- The viewers will be fed up with me - showing denim jackets.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- You should choose a dark denim.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- It will look great in the winter - and summer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- This would look great - during January...
0:40:50 > 0:40:56- ..with a polo neck, dark jeans - and brogues.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02- It will also look great - with a light summer dress.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- It doesn't mean that you can't wear - the light dress now.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Today's aim is to make every piece - of clothing work together.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Finally, let's look at patterns.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- I need Nia to remove the jacket.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21- This is a pattern - that's in the shops at the moment.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23- This is a winter pattern.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- For the summer...
0:41:27 > 0:41:33- ..you can turn this into a floral - outfit with some accessories.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- A yellow bag will lift the look.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- White jeans, skirt and top - will look great with the florals.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- That one piece of clothing can - work for many different looks.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52- Make sure you get plenty - for your pound per wear.
